So... What are they afraid of?

In reaction to Sarah Palin's book AP assigns a task force to 'fact checking' in an attempt to impune the source.

Quote:

The AP claims Palin misstated her record with regard to travel expenses and taxpayer-funded bailouts, using statements widely reported elsewhere. But it also speculated into Palin's motives for writing "Going Rogue: An American Life," stating as fact that the book "has all the characteristics of a pre-campaign manifesto."

Palin quickly hit back on a Facebook post titled "Really? Still Making Things Up?"

As much as people think she is a twit this woman has the potential to make a very strong run for President.

I dont think thats her plan. She can do more to expose the fraud and hypocrisy of both parties as a 'rouge'.

Look up www.sarahpac.com

Sure she is looking to uncover the corruption and who better to run the joint after that is done?

BTW, this donation site of hers is a precursor to getting campaign money. :03:

While 11 staffers sounds excessive, it's true that the AP's deep reserves allow for reporters with specific areas of expertise -- such as the Alaska pipeline or incidents from the campaign trail -- to address a handful of pages dealing with those specific topics, while not necessarily dropping everything to read the entire book.
Could it be that Fox s just trying to add more spin to a story already spinning quite enough, besides this controversy is something Palin probably loves, this will do nothing but help sell her crap. Just another politician, nothing special here.

How many reporters were assigned to 'fact check' Obama's book? :03:

She got her cavities searched during the Presidential campaign. I do not think they will find misnomers in this book. I think she will be someone who uncovers alot of graft.

The McCain folks held a gun to her head and made her do it, you see? The luxury hotel stays with her daughter that the Alaskan taxpayer footed the bill for?It never happened and if it did I usually didn't stay in ritzy places!It's very entertaining to see you all contort yourself into making up progressively more and more outlandish excuses for this woman.

It's not about uncovering any fraud. It's about the money. The more inflammatory garbage she spews, the more money she makes. It's the Limbaugh/Beck business model.

Sarah Palin's quest to uncover "corruption" is on the same level as O.J.'s "search for the real killers."

With exception of the OJ comment, you only know what the media told you at that time concerning Palin. At that time the media was in such a frenzy to discredit everyone they could and let everyone know Obama does infact lay golden eggs. It was almost criminal. It just sent 'shivers up my leg' reporting during the campaign . Do you really know what happened? Was she allowed to tell her side of the story? Well, no. To be honest, looks to me she has lost complete and utter faith in this system of government and or she has lost faith in how it is run. I would guess it is the latter. If she is so boring and uninspiring why is she scheduled on top shows around the country? :hmmm:

What are you even talking about? She was on TV every day for 6 months or so and made a complete fool of herself. What story does she need to tell about it? What justification can there be for her celebration of ignorance and self-aggrandizement?

She was viciously attacked by the media and her family as well. Doing this created ratings. Sorry state of affairs concerning the media these days. To me the media is forever tainted as a result of their actions during the elections. I never witnessed the media surround anyone like they did with Palin. ALL of them, not just one. Say what you like, many a jester made a fool of themselves but still made it to top billing.

Well, she also doesn't need a teleprompter to put together a grouping of coherent sentences like the menace currently in the WH. And talk about making a fool out of yourself during the campaign, I wonder if Obama still thinks the USA is comprised of 57 states.

Mookie, it's apparent that people like you are deathly afraid of this woman. For nno other reason than she has an ability to energize people of conservative values to donate money and go out and vote. The "She's stupid" thing doesn't work. Liberals do this with every Republican politician....like GW Bush for example and he got re-elected.

I also think you're scared because as she is out there energizing conservatives, the Democrat Party has kicked guys like you to the curb. And you know that ain't going to play well with your base next cycle. ;)

This is no worse then what we already knew. No new, 'fabrications.' Furthermore, the book is no worse than what anyone with her position or stature would write. There is no apology coming. Again, if it was truly discredited at that time why would she write it again? It makes no sense. We will chalk this up to the an oversight such as Gore had seen with, "An Inconvienent Truth". No wait, the some sort of prize for this book.:shifty: Again, for such a simpering bag of crap that most think she is why do they flock to buy the book? Why is she scheduled on every talk show? Why did Hillary Clinton agree to sit with Palin and talk?

You're still hanging on to that? Good grief. The guy had been to 47 states, and misspoke and said 57 instead of 47. Do you honestly believe he thought there were 57 states? Really? Honestly? If this is the petty crap that energizes your party, then your party has nothing of substance to add to the national discourse.

Oh please. It's easy and comforting, I'm sure, to say that people who dislike her are scared of her. But it's just not true. I dislike her because she's a disgrace.

There's this fantasy that you people that she shouldn't be underestimated like Reagan blah blah. But the difference is that it was the Washington insiders who underestimated Reagan. However in this case the vast majority believes Palin is a nitwit.

Exactly. We already knew she was an idiot. She just reconfirmed it for us yet again.

For the same reason that Jonas Brothers CD sell millions and Transformers movies make gobs of money. Americans have an insatiable appetite for pablum crap.

You can deflect all you want and try to muddy the waters of debate, but the point remains. She is not qualified to be president and the vast majority of Americans share that opinion. She has the podium because everyone loves watching a trainwreck. Which is exactly what her political career is. And I love watching you all explain away and try to justify every clank and rattle of that wreck.

I pointed out there must be something here because she is in the news, scheduled on every major talk show, has an open invitation to meet with Hillary Clinton and has a number one best seller. :hmmm: There must be more that just a twit on heels. And again, what is it that Obama has that qualified him for President? I agree that her political career is a trainwreck. She got a whole lot of help in that area.
