I know FactCheck.Org - but can't find anything about FactCheck.Com but this guy was claiming they proved Palin was being smeared by media, and was saying how wonderful she is....

:puke:

So who is funding them?

2. factcheck.com is just a domain site of some kind...just sitting there
on factcheck.org, is the Palin anti-smear.

The tool on GB doesn't know or care if it's .org or .com :eye:

3. If you go to the
http://factcheck.org / site, you will see on the left hand side, Sliming Palin. click on that and this particular site debunks many of the rumor we have been talking about. I have no idea how reliable they are though.

4. wasn't that the website that Dick Cheney advertised during the last VP debate?
and he gave out the wrong web address (.com rather than .org)?

5. I have read every single correction they make here on DU
Those rumors were circulated here and, as more facts became available, DUers made corrections.

Some of these stories are still damning in light of these corrections. Just because Palin was never a member of AIP herself, for instance, does not mean she has no ties to that party and their anti-America philosophy. Her husband was a member for years and she spoke at the 2000 convention and submitted a videotaped address to their convention this year. She should still have to answer questions about why she has associated with people who hate the United States, just like Obama has. Hell, she should have to answer questions, period.
