BULLSHIT.

If Sarah says the world is flat, do you think that is where it ends?

No . .. the media's job is to fact-check all of this and report all the lies.

Fact-checking is grouped within general reporting. I'll amend my initial statement.
I don't disagree.
 
This speech in combination with Rudy's is filled with so much lies and utter bullshit...

You're exactly right. At least the Dems never give speeches filled with lies.....


...oh wait
There is no such thing as lies in politics just unsuccessful campaigning. Let's not forget how Bush beat McCain in 2000. Those were definitely not lies.

For probably the 400th time, the reason that Palin's lack of experience is so laughable and keeps being mentioned by everybody is because McCain has been running his entire campaign on experience, in both championing his own and deriding Obama's. So when he brings in a VP with less experience than Obama and far less than Biden, it's fucking hilarious, and deserves to be called out as it has been.

And it goes both ways. You can't forgive Obama for his lack of experience and then attack Pail for hers, which is what GAF all too often does (see: this thread).

Call her on it, good. But you sure as hell better not be letting Obama slide on it, especially when he's running for fucking PRESIDENT. That is hypocrisy.
 
LOBBYISTS HAVE FOUGHT JOHN MCCAIN'S PRESIDENTIAL HOPES?!? WHAT THE FUCK!?
 
Republicans EVIL! Democrats will save us! FUCK YEAH!!!


You guys make me laugh, its like your BS diodes that only except it from one direction.

Palin is too charismatic. Time to grab those ankles for another 8 years gents.
If this is about charisma, does she have more than Obama? That's one of the GOP's main critcisms of the man. The cult of personality, charisma.

GOP can't compete on those grounds, only on traditional moral values.
 
Interesting sidenote: Apparently the convention had planned a video tribute to Palin a la the Hillary video to lead into her speech, but Rudy went on much longer than expected. That wasn't planned.
 
Hey what did Bush call McCain when he campaigned against him in 2000? Oh yeah, WASHINGTON INSIDER.

And I didn't know the Lobbyists were out to stop McCain.

You're so cute, eeyore. I love you this much. Yes, I read the gaming side - don't you?

Are you like in physical pain right now? Like, writhing demonically? Don't worry, there's a lot in this speech that is going to get torn apart by the media. I have no doubt.

But for tonight, you suffer. And whine. And I'm eeyore? :lol

This "Obama is a democrat, therefor he will raise your taxes!" bullshit is akin to someone proclaiming "he is black, he must be good at basketball!"
but he is good at basketball :O

I think its a good speech so far, even if it does contain a few fibs (who's speech doesn't these days)

9:48 CDT: [Sean] C-Span shows someone being forcefully escorted out by multiple police. Small town mayor mocking Obama now. Is anybody really buying that a glorified city council member is more experienced than a US Senator? The base loves it... but really? Doesn't this contemptuous tone of voice open up Palin for a catastrophic (non-sexist) Biden dismissal ala Bentsen-Quayle at the debate?

One of these parties has done tremendous fucking harm to the Nation for eight years. Our diodes are attuned to that.

Are you even watching these speeches?
 
I would expect the media to be objective and point out her many factual inaccuracies (or just straight purposeful lies) but I'm sure we'll get an earful about how this speech show how experienced she is, et. etc.
