MINNEAPOLIS - Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on Thursday blamed supporters of the Democratic presidential ticket for spreading "misinformation and flat-out lies" about her and her family.



But her spokeswoman said Obama's campaign was not responsible, even though a Palin fundraising letter named the Democratic ticket with the words: "the Obama-Biden Democrats have been vicious in their attacks directed toward me, my family and John McCain."

This is perfect projection. The Democrats would never dare use the "L" word, and Palin knows it.

This is bad.

[no_hypocrisy]

1. Shuttup Sarah and just blame the bloggers.

And where there's smoke, there's fire. We're not going away.

:evilgrin:

[KansDem]

5. Oh, we're soooooo sorry, Sarah...

In the fundraising letter issued Thursday, she cited "the Obama-Biden Democrats" and said the "misinformation and flat-out lies must be corrected."

Now, what "misinformation and flat-out lies" need to be corrected? There weren't any mentioned in the AP news report...

[firedupdem]

6. What was a lie? Let's clear it up missy! n/t

[denverbill]

7. How horrible! Did they call your family terrorists? Say you were a Muslim extremist?

Maybe claim you weren't really a US citizen? Claim you were buddies with a 1960's extremist? Did they say your wife was always denouncing 'whitey' in a speech?

Or maybe did they claim you weren't really a decorated Vietnam veteran and that you didn't deserve your purple hearts you earned there, or that you voted against the Iraq war before voting for it?

Did they claim you killed Vince Foster?

These left-wing bloggers must be stopped!

[VP505]

12. Spot on,

but unfortunately that stuff is OK when THEY do it, so they think.

[stpalmer]

61. LMAO

[mcollier]

11. I got that Palin Email today

Then unsubscribed to the McCain emails, went to the McCain website blog and blasted McCain's poor judgement on piciking the pitbull with lipstick, then donated money to the Obama Campaign...

"Enough".... Barack Obama

[mithnanthy]

25. Sewsojm...hehehehehehe...

15. Please keep talking, Sarah!

Since her speech, Obama has raised $8 million dollars and is aiming to raise $10 million by the end of John McCains' speech tonight.

16. She is a real snake.

Only a real monster could twist and lie like that.

[struggle4progress]

20. Well, I certainly never said that Sarah Palin profited personally from Wasilla's illegal meth labs

In fact, I haven't even heard anybody make such a claim

[yardwork]

29. I don't recall ever saying that I had witnessed Sarah Palin having sex with a moose

but I might have said it. I just don't recall.

[trthnd4jstc]

21. Dear Republicans your policies have been a vicious attack to me and my family.

To Sen. McSame and Gov. Lying, you both offer nothing for the majority of this nation. The top in your world are evil, tyrant, liars. You serve the rich, and noone else. We only pointed out your weaknesses and lies. Well, that is what happens to anyone, Democratic or Republican, or any other party that attempts involvement in our system. If the words that we are saying are not false, discredit them, and continue on. But if the words we are saying are true, go to #ell.

[eilen]

22. Heat, Kitchen.... etc. n/t

[mrJJ]

23. Mcsame's age problem

It's a macabre point (redacted)- but a look at the actuarial tables insurance companies use to evaluate customers shows that it's not an irrelevant one. According to these statistics, there is a roughly 1 in 3 chance that a 72-year-old man will not reach the age of 80, which is how old McCain would be at the end of a second presidential term. And that doesn't factor in individual medical history, such as McCain's battles with potentially lethal skin cancer.
...

The odds of a 72-year-old man living four more years, or one full White House term, are better. But for a man who has lived 72 years and 67 days (McCain's age on Election Day this year), there is between a 14.2 and 15.1 percent chance of dying before Inauguration Day 2013, according to the Social Security Administration's 2004 actuarial tables and the authoritative 2001 mortality statistics assembled by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

Going by the Social Security Administration's tables, that's nearly ten times the likelihood that a man aged 47 years and 92 days (Barack Obama's age on Election Day this year) will die before Jan. 20, 2013.

24. Well, Sarah - if you stop telling lies about Democrats, they'll stop telling the TRUTH about YOU

Deal?

[Hugin]

26. Palin: It's hot in this kitchen!

Waaaaaaaaaaa!



What? Did you honestly think we were going to HAND you the Vice Presidency after Tom "Cheney" McBushrichquist had screwed
it up for the last 12 years?

Haha! It's not us... Whoever led you to believe that would happen LIED TO YOU! Wake up!

[grannylib]

27. Oh, like the McLame/Failin' rePiglicans haven't done the same to

Obama? Holy shit, these people are totally without shame.
Desperate losers.

[Wednesdays]

28. Anyone got a tissue? Anyone?

:nopity:

[kskiska]

30. Stop WHINING, Sarah!!

You presented yourself as one of the big boys. Maybe you'd like to go up against Hillary.

[NOW tense]

32. Have a sense of humor

McCain thinks Obama should have a sense of humor about slanderous book

you'd think that somebody who was steamrolled himself by nasty rumors and downright lies, and who at one point claimed he would run a clean campaign, would denounce the Corsi attack. confused

McCain On Swift-Boating Book: "Gotta Keep Your Sense Of Humor"

Put that in your corn cob pipe and smoke it Mrs. Palin

33. Palin: Democrats spreading misinformation and lies

Source: Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS - Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on Thursday blamed supporters of the Democratic presidential ticket for spreading "misinformation and flat-out lies" about her and her family.

But her spokeswoman said Obama's campaign was not responsible, even though a Palin fundraising letter named the Democratic ticket with the words: "the Obama-Biden Democrats have been vicious in their attacks directed toward me, my family and John McCain."

The Obama campaign has raised questions about Palin's qualifications based on her six years as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, and less than two years as governor, but Obama himself has said her family should be off-limits. He also said he would fire any staffer who talks about it.

Palin spokeswoman Maria Comella said: "We appreciate the fact that he came out and condemned this kind of personal attack." Asked whether Palin thought Obama or his running mate, Delaware Sen. Joe Biden, were personally responsible for the attacks mentioned in the letter, Comella said, "No."

Asked who was to blame, the spokeswoman said, "You want me to tick through all the stuff that's been ticking through all the blogs the past few days? What about the stuff that was on Daily Kos, that rumor that was spread?"

Somebody call a WAAAAAAMBULANCE!!!!!!!

[Old and In the Way]

34. Name names or stop lying.

Blogs don't count...I can show you plenty of lies and smears that are spread on Obama. Pretty sad that they have to stoop to such desparate tatics to get people to contribute to their losing cause.

[Bob Dobbs]

35. Tell the truth and stop whining!

Why are the records of Trigg's birth non-existant?

Republics are pathological projectionists.

[BearSquirrel2]

36. Hold on ...

Hold on a second ... how do you know that Trig Palin has no birth record?

[Bob Dobbs]

39. No such birth is listed in the public records

on the day he was allegedly born, in the hospital where he was allegedly born.

[BearSquirrel2]

43. You checked, are the records on line?

Paper trail please?

Look, I don't believe her story either. But when you claim something as a fact, you need hard evidence. Who went and did the checking?

[hadrons]

38. note the "Palin spokeswoman Maria Comella said: "

[Fovea]

37. Buck up little missy!

don't let them sexist folks you were trying to recruit into PUMA spoil your moose hunt!

[Synnical]

40. I can't keep up with the lies

What rumor?

[Elkedzo]

41. Todd & Sarah Palin

Looking into Sarah Palin's history (in that she could be a "heartbeat" away from the Presidency, we find that both she and her husband are registered in an Independent Party Organization looking to seceed from the United States of America!! Is this the kind of thing Mrs. Palin resents us looking at? If she is looking to seceed from America, we sure don't want her running for VP, do we? And no amount of Republican cover-up is going to change it. It's on record!!!

[ryanmuegge]

42. Actually, they aren't being honest enough.

Imagine if they had the balls to really nail her for her laughable resume, corrupt past, inept leadership even in meaningless positions, and associations with total fucking psychos and criminals (and in some cases, both).

[Zorra]

44. She denies nothing specific, strongly indicating that everything Democrats

are saying about her is factual and true.

[Xenotime]

45. This bitch just needs to shut up.

Fortunately it won't matter once Obama wins but she is going to fuel what pugs are left with hate speech like this.

[humbled_opinion]

53. She won't stop after Obama wins

She is the new standard bearer for the Pukes.... She is the "Rock Star" in the repube party.... What a twit... and bottom line she will just make it harder for Obama to unite the country after the election.... Stand by for calls for impeachment from day one... This election must not even be a close one... Everyone needs to do their part if it is close the fundies will say Obama has no mandate to make sweeping changes and Congress will lock tight.... Then the attacks will come from both the left and right that Obama is not meeting the change that he said he would....... All because of this WOMAN.

[L. Coyote]

46. It is true that misinformation and LIES are being spread.

All you have to do is read DU!

Of course, the vicious lies were really being promulgated with unparalleled zest
by a bunch of TROLLS who now reside in Tombstone, DU.

Skinner has the logs on these agent provocateurs. We have the evidence of who they are.

You can trace the Dem posers by placing an invisible image in a post,
then reading your server log to see who requested the image you used.

Give the image a unique name, or recycle it from page to page by
editing the post and removing the image. The trolls are there fastest.
Just follow the name or the time stamp, respectively.

[closeupready]

47. When are you going to address the media, Sarah????

What are you hiding?

[L. Coyote]

48. Adlai E. Stevenson said, "...If the Republicans will stop telling lies..."

Some of us here remember when he said this stuff. It is timeless in today's context:

"If the Republicans will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them. "

"I have tried to talk about the issues in this campaign... and this has sometimes been a lonely road, because I never meet anybody coming the other way. "

"I'm not an old, experienced hand at politics. But I am now seasoned enough to have learned that the hardest thing about any political campaign is how to win without proving that you are unworthy of winning."

"A hypocrite is the kind of politician who would cut down a redwood tree, then mount the stump and make a speech for conservation."

"It's hard to lead a cavalry charge if you think you look funny on a horse."

"Saskatchewan is much like Texas- except it's more friendly to the United States."

At least Palin has solved ONE problem (given McSame's old age):

"The best reason I can think of for not running for President of the United States is that you have to shave twice a day."

[edwardian]

49. Sarah, darling...

misinformation and lies are the essence of your being as a political animal, er, um, pitbull was it?
If we fall for this shit again, as a nation, then we are doomed. Sarah Palin is the same old shit in a new package. No amount of dissimulation and accusation will change that. Wake up America!!!

[kwolf68]

50. Severe case of projection

What some yokel on a blog says means what?

I am sure we could all goto Aryan Nations and KKK websites and find great support for McCain/Palin. Does this mean that McCain/Palin are aryan white supremicists? (Don't answer that).

What they are doing is 'getting in front of the story'. This crap starts with blogs and most of it fizzles out, but some doesn't. When the mainstream media FINALLY picks up on it, they want to then be able to equate the mainstream media to DailyKos, in essence destroying the credibility of the media and anything dispariging about the Republicans that is said.

Funny how MoveOn got literally blasted in 2004, but what was being said about Swift Boat Veterans For Truth or whatever they were called? Nothing was being said, their propaganda was simply played day-in and day-out about Kerry.

These people are human feces.

[JerseygirlCT]

51. wrong place, sorry. nt

[Mesteryo]

52. what she really means is..

People are not believing the stories she has put out about herself. The smoke and mirror show she has put on isn't working so now she whines.

[mitchum]

54. Whiney titty baby

[Demeter]

55. Consider How Unlikely This Statement Is On Its Face

You'd have to be either really creative or really sick to make up the truths about this woman. I can't believe the facts, myself.

[Blackhatjack]

56. She is a Rove controlled mouthpiece n/t

[Kierkegaard]

57. Awwww, whatsamatter?

Widdle pit bull got a booboo?

[trudyco]

58. If you would just stop tossing the Cutsie Poop, Sarah.....nt

[and-justice-for-all]

59. Speaking of lies, she just told another....

"the Obama-Biden Democrats have been vicious in their attacks directed toward me, my family and John McCain." WRONG!

Obama-Biden have not done anything of the sort, they have denounced the family attacks and gone after her "experience", they have NOT attacked their families. The media has done the family attacking...

As for as attacking her and McBush, that is part of the game, you will called out on your bullshit and exposed for what they really are.

[bemildred]

60. So? nt

[mzmolly]

63. Like she did at the Convention? At least our two top candidates are not

the ones doing so.

[agincourt]

64. Two ways to hurt her popularity,

Show how kook-right she is. If this requires attack ads so be it. The next thing is to show what a whiner she is. Show her crying about media bias and slandering democrats, and then show pundits falling all over themselves about her. The kook right politician with the tiarra, that's how you have to attack her.

65. incompetent asshole

66. "Palin spreading lies and obfuscations about her odd pregnacy"
