Oh by the way, every man, woman and child in Alaska will be getting a dividend check (oil profit investments) of $3200+ next month, so I hardly think Alaska is drowning in debt. They don't have a state income tax, they give residents money each year.

So McCain told yet another lie to the American people - when are the media going to start holding the McCain/Palin ticket accountable for the many lies they have been telling to the American people?

Will the media just STOP with the vetting of this governor over things that ARE NOT IMPORTANT TO THIS ELECTION!!! Are you stooping that low because she has overtaken Obama (who really is 'HISTORY" now); and you are feeling a little upset about that–so much so that you feel compelled to pick apart every little detail about EVERYTHING that Governor Palin has said??? GET OVER YOURSELVES AND START CONCENTRATING ON THE IMPORTANT STUFF THAT ACTUALLY MATTERS IN THIS ELECTION!! ENOUGH ALREADY–DO YOU THINK WE ARE THAT STUPID THAT WE WOULD EVEN CARE THAT SHE LISTED HER AIRPLANE ON E-BAY AND THEN ENDED UP SELLING IT ELSEWHERE??? The FACT that she had the good sense TO GET RID OF THE AIRPLANE is what matters here–THAT IS THE STORY LINE–DO WE HAVE TO TELL YOU HOW TO BE JOURNALISTS????.

She didn't say she sold it on Ebay; you're right. She said she PUT it on Ebay.

It's the GUY WHO IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT who lied about it:

"You know what I enjoyed the most? She took the luxury jet that was purchased by her predecessor and sold it on eBay — and made a profit."

That was earlier today.

Tyhrone look who is talking about half lying. She Put It on Ebay. That is true.

I felt like she was a liar. And, my God she is!!! She needs to go home and take care of her 5 children. I can't believe she wants to run for VP and she has a 4-5mo old special needs child.

I think, right now her 17 year old pregnant daughter and her infant son need her now more than ever…. Palin go home and take of your kids!

OBAMA 08

I used to think Campbell Brown was just a pretty face. The Reps are playing the refs. Campbell went toe-to-toe with Bay Buchanan and Tucker Bounds and didn't back down. You go girl!

Palin said she "put it on Ebay" McCain, the head of the ticket lied and said she "sold it on Ebay" OH that would be because he just met her and hasn't had a chance to get to know her to know what happened to the stupid JET!!

Sarah…inform yourself….you need to check out factcheck.org. Then make comments.

Some people only hear what they want to. She said that the plane was put on eBay, she never said anything about it selling. And since it was in fact put on eBay then there is no "half truth" about it!

Willcnnapprovethis it was on tv again today McCain told the same story. They both lied. Look at the news they are even slowing down the sound bite for people to hear then they laugh. LOL they both lied

george, it is admirable to get rid of excess. But why lie about it? That's not liberal spin.

Sarah

Obama has been a Senator in Illinois for 8 years and US Senator since 2005

McCain - Pain ticket.

oops, Freudian slip!

There are more a lot to know about this woman. Good job CNN on that fact check. Keep them honest.

Dmitriy she did say that she put it on ebay but she also said that it sold on ebay for a profit………..which was a lie like everything else out of her mouth………….If this poor excuse for a mother has such an it factor why hasn't she done any interviews? and please don't tell me its because she wants to send time with her son cause that's a lie. She is just like Mccain only out for their on benefit……….

mccain and palin practice what you preach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama 08

CNN moderators….

On the previous thread you allowed the following comment:

"Sorry Sarah, You're the wrong color."

CNN now condones outright and blatant racism.

Shame on you.

Reread you're own comment policy.

Sarah…..McCain voted for and with Bush 90% of the time….inform yourself.

we should put this Miss Alaska under a lie detector

@Dimitry

McCain said he was for change. He didn't say he had a clue about bringing it.

McSane just told the world today that she sold it on Ebay and made a profit….WHAT A BALD FACE LIE! I will reach accross party lines and vote for Obama this time. Go Dems, get this great country back to greatness. This is the USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dmitriy

If Obama didn't really do anything as community leader will you still be that forgiving?

Call it what it is a lie, that's what I tell my children when they don't tell me the whole story!!!

please post

OK, I've listened to enough of Palin! What's the difference between her & Cheney? Lipstick!

You are really reaching CNN.

Get over it. Obama is finished!

Sarah Palin is the joke of the world right now.Every other country is laughing their butts off at Americans for the Republican party putting this person on a Presidential ticket.How incredibly embarrasing for every American.Absolute insanity.

You know if McCain gets elected…lieberman will probably get a cabinet post…scary thought. Isn't it? If McCain gets elected Palin will probably run the office of VP blocks and blocks away from the White House or maybe from Alaska….she won't be another Cheney..McCain does not like women. Her task will be to wait in case something happens to McCain. So that will make her President. Another scary thought. Isn't it?

If you actually listen to her words in her speach, she said, "I put it up on E-bay". That is exactly what she did. No half truths, only half listeners! Typical of young folks, just like your moms and dads tell you. "You only Half listen"!

Palin simply said she put it on ebay. McCain said she sold it on ebay. McCain said the sale made a profit not Palin. If you are going to demonize someone get the right target. I think McCain made a mistake. There is no incentive for McCain to lie… he wouldn't need to since it is a great story with or without a profit. It also demonstrates the type of leadership we should be applauding. Also praiseworthy, is that obama became a community organizer after being editor of the Harvard Law review… a very civic choice. Don't you all see it? Don't be pawns in the media game. Research please and consider all sides

Sarah Palin reminds me of a cult follower who needs to be deprogrammed. The only thing missing is a basket of flowers and a pair of Birkenstocks. John McCain should be ashamed of himself for exploiting this woman.

Dmitriy your partly right McCain said she sold it on ebay and at a profit which is also not true,

So? You are really reaching CNN.

Get over it. Obama is finished!

I've seen more press info on Palin this week than the Hurricans. I

Wow
She looked in the cameras
Smiled
And LIED RIGHT TO OUR FACES.
First she half lied about ebay
Secondly she BOLD FACE LIED about the profit
I'm sorry if my previous statements were sexist, don't want to offend the moose hunting, hockey mom, pit bull
OBAMA/BIDEN FOR 8 YEARS

When will you be focussing on her possible wrinkles, like you did with Hillary. Maybe she has some split ends you could look into.

The unemployment rate rose to 6.1%, the highest level since September 2003. That's up from 5.7% in July and 4.7% a year ago. Unfortunately there is a lot of Jerry Springer-watching stupid Americans. Remember they voted Bush in TWICE! There are entirely too many baboons in this country now. We are ranked 12th as the best country to live, down from 6th in 2002. Our infant mortality rate has actually climbed for the first time in our history while our life expectancy has lowered. All this even though we are still the wealthiest nation. What does that mean? I live out of the country currently. People often ask me, do I really believe the U.S. could possibly elect McCain after 8 years of Bush and all of the struggles we have had. Please give me a reason not to respond, "Don't underestimate the stupidity of the American people."

McCain said she sold it on ebay for a profit. Both blatant lies that fire up the crowd. They just count on that crowd to not go home and fact check. Maybe Palin didn't directly lie (on this point) but McCain did. I think that's worse.

they lie so much you cant believe anything they say.she also cut funds for special needs family's. even though she has a special needs nephew.so now these family's will suffer.my son is special needs, also what will she do for my son? take away what medical support that he has.also,phisical,ocupational,speach and vision therapy's where does this leave my son and millions of other children and adults.who need these srvices.well maybe it doesn't matter to her because her baby will be taken care of and services will be paid by all americans. ijust don't know.about this lady.but what i do know is i will be voting. obama/biden

I find her statment "I put it on EBAY" very misleading. A half-truth to me is the same as a lie. I am very disappointed in her. What change will she bring to Washington? I was hoping for truth, the WHOLE truth not more half-truths.

Now I see why she is afraid of the press. I hope she doesn't run out of note cards on her next speech. A heart beat away from the presidencey, but can't face reporters.

Straight talk express, my butt.

SHE WENT TO 5 COLLEGES IN 6 YEARS, MAYBE SHE CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE SHE SOLD HER JET.

The point was she didn't keep it.

wow! not only is she mean-spirited, but she's also a liar? what next?

She said she put it on e-bay. She didn't say she sold it on e-bay.- Dmitriy

Now I cant believe you said that. It's moments like this that WE need to call folks out to let them know that half statements are not right. (both sides!) What she implied was that she was a quick thinker that saved the tax-payers money, but the full truth is that she wasn't shrewd enough to get ahead with a great idea. Actually ended up loosing mony and costing the people money!!

Why mention quips like this thinking the wont be fact checked…huh? they're waiting for people like YOU to ignore the facts that's what's up!!

Dmitriy

By making that statewment she IMPLIED it was SOLD on Ebay. The story just wouldn't sound so reformist is she told the whole truth!
WAKE UP AMERICA! The REPUBLICAN party is about LIES and DECEIT!!!!!!!

Why was it OK to spread rumors about Obama (muslims, etc) but it is not OK for anyone to say anything about Palin? Amazingly, people believe the rumors about Obama but they won't bring themselves to believe Palin is as corrupt as the rest of the Repugs. She lies!!!!!

She also said she had stopped bridge to nowhere, congress stopped it, It's the same old same old, MCSame have not said what they would do to quit borrowing money from China or how McCain after decades in WAshington will finally limit speding. Old guy McCain need to go home to whichever home he can remember and send Carbiou Barbie back to Alaska

A politician exaggerating a past accomplishment?! I can't believe it! Now this is news!

So…let me get this straight…. if you question B. Hussiens Obama's policies or lack thereof, you are racist…. if you question Sarah Palin then you are sexist… WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH JUST BEING ABLE TO QUESTION THEM WITHOUT BEING CALLED NAMES FOR QUESTIONING!?

She has been on the scene for just a week and how many scandals have surfaced? It seems there is still more about this pitbull

She put it on ebay, is the TRUTH. Not everything that is put on ebay sells. The TRUTH was a good line that even I enjoyed. Keep it up because you weaken Barack with every petty account of anything in your desperation.

Is this story like the Bridge to Nowhere story that she was in favor first-see Anchorage Daily News October 2006, they asked to her: Would you continue state funding for the proposed Knik Ann and Gavina Island bridge? She answer yes and would like to see infrastructure projects built sooner rather than later.
And later in 2007 she changed her mind.
Is this half truth, half lie or flip flopping.

This whole mess is an example of the reason why McCain's campaign won't let Palin be interviewed by any journalists…

A senior McCain campaign official tells Marc Ambinder that, "despite the gaggle of requests and pressure from the media, Gov. Sarah Palin won't submit to a formal interview anytime soon. She may take some questions from local news entities in Alaska, but until she's ready — and until she's comfortable — which might not be for a long while — the media will have to wait."
(from http://politicalwire.com)

So…let me get this straight…. if you question B. Hussiens Obama's policies or lack thereof, you are racist…. if you question Sarah Palin then you are sexist… WHAT

Dmitriy,
She did say she sold it at a profit and indeed she DID NOT

It's McCain that chose the wrong words in Cedarburg, Wisconsin today. He the one who said that Palin "sold it on eBay." Typical McCain: seizing on a successful and promotable sound bite, and completely botching it. Take it and run with it, John! Sounds great to all of them! And all that's matters.

True Dmitriy -

She didn't say she sold it on ebay. But our future potential President said she sold it and made a profit. He spoke without knowing what the heck he was talking about - like he usually does. This is not someone I want running my country. by the way - she wasn't honest enough with her broker - the Jet required 50,000 dollars worth of repairs. Palin is worse than a used car saleman. Another person I don;t want in the white house.

Dmitriy - Keep trying to support the ridiculous and it will get you no where.

If I was you OBAMA people I would not call anyone a liar when you have the biggest one working for you.

No surprise in this just another mislead.

A lie and at a loss. I'm sure they wouldn't do the same with the economy….right.

NO PRESIDENT PALIN

Tsk tsk. Leading America to believe she successfully sold it on Ebay, yet didn't. There is nothing genuine about this woman. She will be a fake Veep, too.

Guess what! Palin won't talk to the press, she is being protected by the Republicans, they don't know her enough to let her go. Because she has no experience, and the Republicans are being careful she doesn't mess them up. I think McCain is a dirty old man, he saw another beauty queen, he picked her, in other words, he just bought the package, but didn't open it. He gets what he deserves!

Obama/Biden 08!

McSame = "country first?"

On his new VP pick: The campaign will make her available to press when and if it feels it is in the campaign's best interest.

Why you ask? Because she CANNOT EXPLAIN away the scandals, lies, and hypocritical decisions she had made while up there in the Alaska Tundra.

This woman will be a heartbeat away from the Presidency. "Country first" = vet her…PUBLICLY….PLEASE!

Palin is quite a multi-tasker.

Here is a partial list of "Sarah's 60 Day Laundry List":
- Meet Washington leaders.
- Visit Washington DC and lower 48 states.
- Plan and shop for baby shower.
- Schedule and be updated on lil' Trig's 6 month check-up
- Meet or coordinate with special needs team for Trig
- Throw bridal shower and shop for Mother-of-the-Bride dress
- Meet world leaders
- Meet Piper's teacher and attend open house curriculm night
- Not neglect Willow.
- Learn about the diversified culture of the lower 48 states.
- Spend time with husband.
- Get to know John McCain.
- Give send-off to Track as he heads to Iraq.
- Post garage sale items on e-bay.

OH NOES!! she didn't physically SELL the wasteful jet expenditure on ebay!!! evil profiteering republicans!!! mcsame mcbush mcsurge!!!
only an obama liberal could spin this into a story.

she took a wasteful taxpayer expenditure and tried to get rid of it, and eventually did. nothing she said was wrong at all. only an obamabot could try to work this into something negative, because to them, wasteful expenditure is ok as long as their celebritard messiah gets coronated.

Both of them are liars. She lied about fighting earmarks and the Bridge to Nowhere. Thanks but no thanks, by the way I'll be keeping that $200 million that was meant for the bridge. John McCain lied about selling the jet at a profit, it was sold at a loss of $600k plus they probably paid the broker for the service.

Exactly, she stated she put it on ebay, which she did. Regardless, she still help rid Alaska of unneccesary costs. Maybe Pelosi can learn something here instead of complaining her plane isn't big enough.

The pattern emerging of Sarah isn't one of a reformer — just a "reformer wannabe", a typical republican who lies, twists the truth and spins with a very straight face. But guess what? These slimeballs still manage to fool most of the people most of the time, stay in power and collectively destroy USA! I cannot believe that there are still many Americans resisting to smell the coffee. This is a female Cheney in the making. McCain and repubs have clearly indicated Sarah's experience is superior to both McCain or Obama. Meaning she is the most she's most "qualified", just like Cheney. I am a working mother… for those who want to bully the rest of us with sexism accusations every time we open our mouth about Palin.

Dmitriy September 5th, 2008 8:33 pm ET

She said she put it on e-bay. She didn't say she sold it on e-bay.

You are playing apples and oranges she implied by saying she "put" it on ebay that she sold it.

like most republicans, she has issues with the truth. Mccain also said she "sold it" on ebay meaning he definitely lied.

she is telling lies already and havent even go her toe yet. That is a Repub for ya. They even lie behind each other. McCain told the same story today. LO>

McCain said she sold it…and she didn't bother to correct it!!! She's a liar and she lied about the "Bridge to nowhere" as well!! And she has questionable ethics!!! WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!

How can the news comentators be so silent about lies and liers who would broadcast them to 40 million people in a televised convention?

When will the truth be broadcast by CNN? Please advise me so I caan tune in.

A bold face liar. Certainly has a ring of familiarity, Bush/McCain/Cheney/Palin. Birds of a feather flock together.

Don't forget the bridge is a lie also. PALIN KEPT THE $400 MILLION. Never gave it back to the federal government.

You liberals can twist any thing you want. Real people aren't buying your elites media coverage sorry!

Oh the smug-ness of it all.. Can we really deal with four years of another severely incompetent administration that attempts to hide it with lies, half-truths, and denial???

When has Sarah Palin provided the "whole" truth. Everything thing that comes from her is suspect. Truthfully America, and I really hate to say this….This is about race. Sarah Palin has been allowed to get away with things that Obama would have been crushed for. We haven't seen her "church" youtube where she claims that this God's war blasted across the media. We haven't seen Bristol underaged drinking. No one is questioning her flip-flop on the Bridge issue…nothing!!!! I must say that I saw something at the DNC. I saw people from all cultures, races, and back grounds gathered togther because they have hope. I pray that America doesn't let race stand in our way to unity. To use McCain's words (and from the Constitution) …. Stand up America! Stand up for what is right! We hold these truths to be self evident that all men and women are created equal. Palin/McCain are banking their campaign on fear, lies, psychological calculations, politics, controversy, selective speaking, double standards, and on and on. They are hypocrits!
The ebay issue, bridge, lack of parental control (yes this is an issue), troopergate, pork barrels, etc, etc are really not issues. The issue is: What will you do! The only time that evil prevails is when good people do nothing (Edmund Burke)! Again, stand up good people! Do what is right! Vot e Obama/Biden!!!!!!

why do Obama supporters hate women!

great start way to go
obama biden 08

Tell the truth much Sarah and John? I guess not.

The follow-up questions I have are: Did Gov Palin have any personal or business or political contacts with the brokerage that was used; or with the eventual purchaser of the plane — who purchased it, after all, for a 'loss'?

moderation, that's code for we have no room for opposing views or the truth if it does not meet our needs!

Speaking of planes …. why isn't the McCain/Palin plane American built?? E190 (Embraer 190, built in Brazil)

Just what we need in DC….another Bush/Cheney duo (with Cheney in drag) processing and packaging the facts to have them mean anything they want them mean. Remember, folks, when we called them lies, fibs, untruths and playing fast and easy with America's trust.

Dmitriy….McCain said she sold it on eBay and he said she made a profit on it. Where did he hear the lies? From the vetter? From Palin herself? The GOP is full of liars! Palin cannot be made available to reporters until she learns the "party line", she is the perfect mouthpiece for them, shallow, and eager to gain this power so she will comply. She insults working women everywhere, hell she insults women everywhere. Face it, the GOP will lose….

Here's a notion… we'll discuss "Ebay-gate" if we also get to talk about Rezko, Ayres, Wright, etc.

My heart belongs to Hillary. First and foremost, Palin is likeable, but how is she going to put food on my table? I need to know how the beauty queen is going to jumpstart the economy?

I hope they investigate her abuse of power back in Alaska.

Perhaps not, Dmitriy, but she did not say she did not sell it either, and the implication of "I put it on ebay" is that it sold. Moreover, McCain DID say she put it on ebay and sold it for a profit. Out and out lie.

She implied that she sold it on e-bay. You thought she sold it on e-bay also, don"t lie.Dmitriy

why do the republicans feel the need to lie and over-exagerate about EVERYTHING.are they that stupid or do they think everybody is dumb enough to believe everything they say

Dmitriy September 5th, 2008 8:33 pm ET

She said she put it on e-bay. She didn't say she sold it on e-bay.

________________

McCain said she put it on ebay and sold it for a profit. Not only did she not sell it for a profit but she had to list it on ebay three times. It never sold on ebay. And as far as I know she didn't correct McCain. Of course McCain doesn't know anything about the internet either.

We have 8years of lies and bs and now they believe that they continue to lie to americans and we will fall for it all over again. Not so fast not everyone is going to keep drinking the kool-aid. This woman is as bad as the men in the republican party. Liars all of them. She might think she is a pitbull but all she is is full of s—t. When a pitbull becomes to aggressive they muzzle it and retrain them or puts them to sleep. This she devil is not what america needs. Think long and hard before you go blindly and votefor this woman.

Palin is touted as being a fiscal conservative but yet she took over control of a city with zero debt and left it with 22 million in debt when she left office.

I'm a Republican and this ticket (McCain/Palin) scares me.

I cannot beleive how many AMericans accept the biased reporting of networks like CNN, without question, without analysis and complete thought. News Mediae do not (with maybe the exception of FOX) report and represent objective truth with ALL facts and scenarios in a story. At best, they report half truth. IF they really were "investigative" and did it thier way, as a POlice CHief, I would NEVER HIRE THEM or go to COurt with thier reports. THey never tell all the facts objectively. Democrats, please get some brains or at least learn to discern. As for this Democrat, I am voting REPUBLICAN. Mac-Sarah 2008. NoBAMA and NO socialist liberals.

HOW DOES PALEN THE PERFECT MOTHER EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN EXAGGERATION AND A LIE ?????

Dear Dmitriy, So we have to be wordsmiths to figure out what our elected leaders are saying? We have been down that road. This is not what McCain calls 'straight' talk. Straight talk means just that. It is the truth. Factual. No nuances or interpretations. Bill Clinton lost me when he tried to redefine 'is'. Come on, America, we are so much better than this.

I'm surprised this is news. Palin's statement was accurate about the jet. McCain got the facts confused, but the main idea of the story is true: Palin sold the jet. There's bigger issues than this,

Dmitriy….she AND McCain said today she SOLD it on Ebay….fyi

We don't need another slick talker that is only telling part of the story…

This is so wrong. Don't lie to my face and expect me to vote for you…woman or not. McCain and Palin-shame on you.

I just read Anne Kilkinney's open letter about Palin. What a brave person to reveal these facts.

My hair is standing on end! Palin is completely frightening. Surely McCain camp checked out this business. They knew they had found a kindred spirit in Palin, she will follow right along with the party line. I think they just did not think that her history would come out as it is….. what's that old saying: what's done in the dark, will come to the light?

When you play dirty tricks on We, the People… you better think twice. The pay back can be hell come election day!

Somebody needs to ask Sara Palin what she replaced the state jet with. I heard today that she and her husband have a small Piper airplane, which they loved so much they named their daughter after it. Could it be that she uses her personal airplane for government travel and writes off the maintenance and gas to the state? Or is she charging the price of an airline ticket? Doesn't a Governer have to have some way to travel back and forth? And why would you get rid of the State jet? What about the Governor that may take her place in the future, what will he or she use? Someone needs to check into these things. My guess is that Sara is not telling the whole truth.

God help us if McCain/Palin win this election. What little freedom we now have will be gone. I was backing Hillary and I am sticking with my party and Obama. As a woman, I cannot back another woman who shares none of my values. Let's take this country back before it is too late.

DMITRIY can you read?

Read this line made by McCain today

"You know what I enjoyed the most? She took the luxury jet that was purchased by her predecessor and sold it on eBay — and made a profit."

Well said Dmitriy, "She said she put it on e-bay" (which she did). "She didn't say she sold it on e-bay."

CNN - you're kidding. Talk about splitting hairs. The facts are she sold the plane so the state tax payers would not get stuck with the bills.

This crap is why people hate the media - unless your an Obama supporter that is.

Just goes to show that McCain's short term memory is going - sure sign of Alzhiemers. The man is smitten with her. In his eyes, she can tell no lies and do no wrong. He'll fight anybody who tries to take her away from him. Neither of them can deliver a speech without reading it.

So Palin really told the truth in her speach, but the article and title is skewed as if she lied. Wake up America, begin thinking for yourselves, or are you just going to let the corporate media giants pick your next President? Sarah Palin is being trashed by the media not the citizens of her state or our country. Does it worry anybody else that Obama doesn't get anywhere this kind of scrutiny? I have not decided who I will support because I get no facts or details on what either candidate would really do and solid fair reporting of policy. Instead I get rumors, gossip…tabloid, made-for-tv garbage. We voters are starving for truth, equal and fair reporting of how these canditates will actually govern…not that Palin put the jet on Ebay but it didn't sell there!

She's a lying, mean spirited person….

ann,did you not notice john mc cain's mother there.age-96 years young

Unbelievable.

Dmitriy…yes she did! and McCain added, "she got a profit"…PAY ATTENTION!

WOULD YOU MARRY SOMEONE AFTER MEETING THEM FOR ONLY 8 DAYS? MUCH LESS 2 MONTHS??????? THAT WILL BE HOW LONG WE KNOW HER BY ELECTION DAY.

Gov. Palin said "I *put* it on eBay." Very carefully chosen words by her speech writers. It sounds, for all intents and purposes, as if she dumped it, sold it, got rid of it on eBay, and maybe even got her money back. But the words she used did not specifically say she SOLD it on eBay, and of course she wasn't about to say what the actual terms of the final brokered sale were. She told the truth, even though the word-smithing is just creative enough to achieve the desired sensational effect. The state took a loss on the sale of jet, but it was a much smaller loss than the loss of having a 2.7 million dollar gas can sitting in a hangar. It's all theater, people. And in this case, all fluff, too.

Republicans lying, what else is new??

Obama/Biden

Well she NEVER did say that she SOLD in on ebay, she said that she put it on ebay.

Palin is just another example of the "toe the party line", if you "repeat a lie enough it becomes the truth" Karl Rove politics as usual from the neocons.

Along with the "half truth" about selling the jet on ebay, she said she said "thanks but no thanks" to the money for the bridge to no where, but only when it becam politically incorrect to keep the money. What they don't tell you is she didn't return the money either. I'm not sure where the money went. I think that's something we should be checking into.

Everyone must Google 'Anne Kilkenny Palin Email' This women grew up with Palin and gives a deep insight into who she is.

There is a reason that McCain had to tell the republicans to take off
their republican hats and put on their AMERICAN hats. Because they
aren't real Americans, they just like to accuse other people of not being
real americans. What Hypocrites.

CNNN CNNN CNNN CNNN PLEASE POST THIS IT IS URGENT AND THE MSM MIGHT NOT PICK THIS UP THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR EVERY AMERICAN TO SEE!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpniuotfpR8

This VP pick is the stupidest thing I have witnessed in political history. She needs to take care of her husband and kids first. That is a conservative belief. Ignoring your family, like Palin, to pursue your selfish ambitions is a feminist, liberal ideology.

Lets see…she cant use that age excuse…she cant use the fatigued excuse…she cant use the P.O.W. excuse. Ahhh as a woman, mother of five, and a hockey mom…she's allowed to stretch the truth from time to time…I got it.

hmmm…sounds like she should have left it sitting in the hangar.

is this what they're going to do with our economy? tell us we're making a profit when we're actually losing money?

just tell the truth, folks. you won't look so stupid when the truth does come out. geesh.

well, i see the keep using not only the ebay line, but also the i told congress i don't want your money for the bridge to nowhere, a bigger lie!! that she opposed earmarks, after she got enough earmarks to give each person in her small town to have each person get over 4,000 dollars per person. next she'll deny leaving her city 20 million dollars in debt. 9000 person town 20 million in debt!! how is that possible!
they call themselves fiscal conservatives??
yeah just like bush was!!!!!

She put the jet on eBay. That's true. So it wasn't sold on eBay. So what? She got rid of waste. That's the issue.

If you want to talk embellishments…remember that Hillary lied about Bosnian snipers. Obama lied about NAFTA.

Face it…everyone lies. There's no truth in politics anymore.

So what else is new, McCain can't remember from one day to the next
without his aides telling him, and much more will be discovered on miss lensscrafter.

This pitbull with lipstick tells half truths. Sarah you are not and never will replace Hillary Clinton.

Obama/Biden 08

Y'all are so quick to point out that "this is what Obama said, not what you say he said…" Well, my turn - Palin NEVER said she sold the plane on eBay. She said she PUT it on eBay.

Technicality? Yes. But I've seen PAGES of defenses to blogs that call Obama on similar technicalities in phrasing.

Find something IMPORTANT to focus on. Not little, petty, meaningless things like this.

Yep more lies from Same-Ole and Same-as-Same Ole.
Press cannot ask her any more questions… she doesn't think we have the right to know anything about her, unless it's a half-truth that casts her in a favorable light.
The arrogance of these folks is unbelievable.

All people who complain about smears to the Democrats need to remember the Democrats have been slinging MUD for months and Months. You only talk of what you see and you are blind, in subjectivity and self absorption. EXAMPLE: a comment above McCain=Bush is STUPID. Bush never lied. EVERY VOTER needs to watch this video and call a SPade a Spade - so to speak. I am a DEMOCRAT FOR McCAIN and proud to be. THe LIBERALS (OBAMA et al) have stolen the DEMOCRAT PARTY and are socializing it to oblivian. I want the real party back. CHeck out the video people!!!!!!

A DEMOCRAT VOTING REPUBLICAN

Look how scared the democrats are??? Ya'll are getting all worked up over a joke!!! WOW CAN YOU SAY SCARED TO DEATH…..
GO McCain/Palin.

this is a relatively non issue to me, but it seems as though the scrutiny Obama got for not telling the whole truth about which of his family members liberated which camp should be returned in full to Mrs. Palin.

What a shock - Caribou Barbie is a know-nothing doofus *and* a liar.

Nice going McCain, thanks!

Obama 08 & 12

Who cares about the plane when she has admitted to wanting to ban books and take away a womans right to choose? Are we going to let this country become a police state more than it already is? Why dont you people wake up!

I am going to add my third comment.The Obama campain keeps saying why this country is in trouble is because of the Republicans.
Wake up people ,the Democrats have been in control of congress for the last two years AND JUST WHAT HAVE THEY DONE? ANSWER:NOTHING.

Obama has campaigned for almost two years and paid his dues by doing that? Are you kidding me? I'd vote for Biden if he was the top man on the ticket. He's paid his dues!

I will not vote for someone who was in the Senate for a year before deciding to do a dissservice to this country by running for President of the most powerful country in the world! I don't understand how a little more then half of the democrats voted for Obama. He hasn't done one thing to show he can lead. His list is small, and probably just as small as Palin's. Atleast Palin was a Governor for a couple years. More time in office then Obama.

I'd rather have a no experienced person at #2, then at #1. #2 listens and obeys what #1 says. I cannot see how Biden can take orders from someone who knows nothing at all about Politics. It's a slap to Biden to be the Vice for this guy.

UHOh, just another little stretch of the truth there Sarah. Why can't you NOT be so much like the rest of the repub's with their larger then life yarns to make them appear bigger and more important then they really are. Oh I guess it's because you belong to the party of truth stretchers, McCain (Keating 5) Bush ( Iraq) Cheney (Valorie). Well what the hell, at least your a main player, in with the big boys now. Why not tell those tall tales with the best of them…. You still have a ways to go to be the best but you certainly are learning (Or maybe you already knew)..

i see barack acting like a hurt child, when he is attacked about his untouchable issues about his early life and nobody wants to bring up his close relationship with mayor richard daly and the good old boys in that powerfull politicol machine of richard daly today or richard daly senior from the past and all of the chicago area corruption

I have swampland in Florida to sell you on eBay that is high and dry….especially after huricanes.

Millions who watched her spech wont come back and read this story. So she got away with and republican will get away with another election.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
The usual Republican twist. What makes it so funny is that "putting" it on ebay wasn't that big of a deal in the first place. It definitely didn't deserve a space in Palin's and McCain's speeches. Then they use a play on words to make it look like she "sold" it on ebay.

Typical republican rhetoric. Everywhere you turn this lady is using a play on words to lead you to believe one thing when in reality it is worded in a way that doesn't make it a "lie" so to speak. I can't wait until November 4th when she can return to Alaska and leave the national scene forever, and this is coming from me, Cindy M.Cain (wasn't that a good play on a name? I'm learing the republican way of getting around issues)

What an elitist liar! The angry right, me-first, country second crowd is getting desparate!

My vote is for Barack … and I dont see the ebay comment as a big issue.

THIS IS A FUNNY SITUATION HERE. SARAH IS RUNNING AS VP, BUT SHE SEEMS TO ACTING LIKE SHE IS RUNNING FOR THE PRESIDENT POSITION. SHE IS MAKING MCCAIN LOOK BAD. I BET HE IS FEELING LIKE A FOOL SELECTING HER NOW. SHE HAS A LOT OF TRASH IN HER TRUNK, AND TALKS TO MUCH. THEY ARE GOING TO LOSS BIG TIME BECAUSE OF HER BIG MOUTH. YOU CAN TELL SHE WANTS TO BE IN CONTROL SOOOOO BAD.

The Shrilla from Wasilla compulsively lies again! I guess I can empathize, it's hard to make something from nothing.

The "Mav", the "Barracuda" and the "Pitbull"…all off the funny farm.
OBAMA 08

If the McCain campaign has a problem with Sarah doing interviews then why not just have Dick Cheney put on a dress and wig and have him hold the interview in her place? After all, it seems they have the same policies as well as the same ethics concerning telling the truth.

I was hoping for better from Palin. Everyone was.

Well…….bottom line is. It was sold, it was a expense. Maintenance, gas, etc. I am surprised the leftys are not praising her for doing this. Where are all the greenies on this issue? What about the carbon footprints it is saving? Come on Dems….. is there nothing that pleases you. Where is Al Gore on this issue? He should be praising her on this.

I recorded her entire speech and Palin never said she sold the plane on ebay. She said she "put it on ebay" and she did!!! They found a buyer more quickly elsewhere and sold it . Planes cost money just sitting around too and she wanted to get rid of the expense as soon as possible. John McCain misspoke today and said she sold it on ebay. Palin never lied. Get your facts straight!! If she had said in her speech that she simply sold the plane, the press would have come back and reported that she did not tell the whole story because they found out she tried to sell it on ebay first. I cannot believe the ridiculous reporting I am hearing lately. I am so dissappointed in some of the commentators who I use to respect.
Many of them are just tripping over themselves and making fools of themselves trying to report on Palin. I am sure both political parties are experiencing this.

She did not lie. She merely claimed that she listed it on eBay, not that she sold it on eBay.

Hillary should have been the VP - she did get those 18 million voters.

But Obama didn't have the courage…….

I think that I finally have figured out the McCain-Palin plan in regards to the media. I believe that they are intentionally holding her back from press interviews until the media has dug up the majority of her skeletons and aired them. After they have come out in the open and developed a response to these discrepencies/lies, they will rehearse her responses and then allow her to begin interviews.

What do you want to bet her first interview will be on Fixed News?!

SO far the only thing I know about Sarah Palin is that she can spew venom…is that all she’s good for? Is that the only reason McCain put her on the ticket?

What I would like to know is:
1) Her stance on health care - will she provide the same protection to us as she does to her own family?

2) Her stance on women’s equal pay issue- is she willing to fight for equal pay for women whereas McCain voted against that in Congress?

3) Her stance on Choice – is she willing to give the same rights and benefits to an inner city pregnant teenager as she has to her own daughter?

4) Her stance on Global Warming – does she believe it exists and if so what is her idea on striking a balance btwn drilling for oil and protecting wildlife?

5) Her stance on terrorism – does she believe that we should fight them oversees where ever they are or engage in diplomacy to combat it?

Anybody?? Any Palin follower?? Any answers to these questions would be great, since she is not taking questions from the media.

She said she put it on e-bay. She didn't say she sold it on e-bay.

But.. but.. she's a woman! You can't call her a liar.. THAT"S SEXIST!

Half-truths and more lies. This woman is dangerous……and a true Republican.
OBAMA in 2008

I've got the lipstick to put on this pig!

CNN: has spent the entire day picking at Sarah Palin. Never have I heard CNN pick at Barack. THis is strange but beleiveable - it demonstrates the BIAS of CNN toward the conservative party element and the leaning to and for the LIBERALS. Actually the jet was on EBAY. Like so many items the reserve not met allowed it to be pulled from eBay and sold. A profit was made because the jet had depreciated and the amount they got was a little more than current value, but being a valued Aircraft it was a good deal. Also profit was gleaned because Alaska did not have to bear further expenses for Inspections, Annuals, and other FAA required costs. CNN - YOU NEED TO REPORT ALL THE FACTS, not just the half truths that stir up interest from emotion. I am a DEMOCRAT, but unfortunately for you these statements were TRUE and NOT the lies you claim. It is showing your complete lack of journalistic objectivity.

Okay, I see it very clear now! Sarah is smart, cute, warm, tender, well educated, and on top of that a "Hockey Mom." She is so warm and wonderful. Now, Hold on and let me click my heals three times. Because if she is seriously being considered as a VP, then I must be in the merry ole land of OZ. How else can you explain an ill prepared, small town, small state two year Gov. can command this kind of attention. There is no comparison between McCain/Pakin and Obama/Biden. Obana/Biden have the care and concern for the health and wealth of America. The Dem's were full of all colors and hues and the Repub where full of…..? Well I do remember seeing about five African-American people in St Paul. Fairness in America can only can be achieved with multi-color, fair share of people and their diverse views.

Hey, no fair! I'm a woman with a record of reform. I was a mayor before I was governor for the past two years. How dare you investigate what I say in my speeches. How dare you call me a liar. I'm the pitbull with lipstick. All you want to do is attack me. Just take what the campaign tells you as the gospel truth. How dare you…you sexist left wing liberal obama-mania media! AAARRRGH!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

And this is to You CNN. Its pretty disappointing to watch your station with picture in picture and see the diversity of the crowd on fox (Hispanics and African Americans) and you showing old white men. Good Job, way to be fair and balanced

all these time they had papa pit bulls now they have mama "pit bull with lipstick " or is it the blood on the lips for the blood thirsty pit bull
I wonder !!!

She is such a terrible liar. Left Wasilla in debt as mayor. Hired lobbyist to get millions of federal dollars for Wasilla. Lobbied for the Bridge to Nowhere before deciding (after they had gotten nearly all the money from Washington) that they couldnt pay for the rest and axed the project.

Monica for Obama in Indiana,

She didn't lie. Wake up. She said she put in on ebay and that's what she did. You want to talk about lies. How about the time Obama said he wrote legislation to force the nuclear agency to report leaks. That was a lie.

So the 'lies' and spin start to come back and hit her in the behind.

I thought the first lie was when Palin marched out her teenage daughter hiding her 'belly' with a blanket and someone's baby. When that first family portrait was presented, there was not a word about the teenager being 5 months pregnant herself. That family portrait was a 'lie'.

Her staff didn't know that Sarah Palin was pregnant until right before she delivered. I would call that a 'lie'.

Now we find out the plane was not sold on E-bay but sold for a loss through a broker. That is what I would tell my children is a 'lie'.

WMDs? A 'lie'. More of the same.

Until this country demands strong ethical standards from our leaders, we will continue our fall into a moral abyss and we will continue to be the laughing stock of a world that has much higher standards than we do. I am a flaming liberal and demand honesty.

No way!! The republican VP candidate lied?? I cannot believe my ears! The patriotic, Bible-thumping, evangelical ayatollahs lied???

No…seriously….are you surprised?

wow…to lie about something so dumb and right off the bat. what a great role model!!!!

Why did they feel the need to lie about this? Wouldn't it have been better to say that the plane was sold with depreciation in order to cut out costs due to maintenance? At least that would have avoided being caught in another obvious fib and still gotten the point across.

Forget about vetting for VP, how's about the Republicans vetting reality?

Obama and Hillary have paid no dues, they just bought thier way into a senate seat, mrs campbell brown might understand how that works, louisiana and all

I can't wait for Palin to take office and stop all that gay marriage non sense. That's an illnes that only some one like palin can cure. Who gives a hoop about environment any way?? Drill baby, drill.

And get rid of those clinics for unwed mothers.

Go Palin!!

This ticket scares me more than the bush/cheney! Mccain has found someone who will carry out his principals and ideas to keep this bush thing going for the next 4 years at least.

I'm curious: how did she lie when she said she put the plane on eBay? And how does 2 years of campaigning qualify Osama any more than her when that pretty much is his record…

First off, Obama uses a speech writer as well… so there goes that argument out the window. Secondly, Palin has been governor for just under 2 years. And if I remember correctly, Obama's been a Senator for less than that. Who's got the experience now?

McCain is NOT Bush. Just b/c they share a party, doesn't mean they share ideas. Inform yourself.

Sarah Palin should be thoroughly vetted. America does not need to
become a fascist country.

"LIES AND THE LYING LIARS THAT TELL THEM"…..Franken had it right…..and I do mean Republican Right…..

Does this surprise anyone ? Half truths , exagerations , Out right lies, does this surprise anyone … We should be used to it after the last eight years… Smells a lot like Karl Rove spin to me … You know how you can tell a republican is lying… Thats right cuz their moving there lips…And to the Media … She called you folks out….I would bet there are a lot more things about this person that we have not been informed about … GET TO WORK…..

Thank you Campbell for bringing out some truths on this woman. You seem like the only news person that has. Least your not cow-toeing to McCains people about leaving Palin out of the press.

This woman sickens me. There is more about her that will be coming out soon, I hope they uncover the truth. She cut funding for special needs children from 8mil to 3 mil. She is a fraud. I can't wait for Obama and Biden to take over!

I already made one comment and I am going to make another. Right now I would rather have Sarah Palin as president than Obama.

Jeez you people are creeping me out , such Hypcrososy!

It's telling that Palin has been exposed to have lied about so many things in the short week since she was chosen to be McCain's running mate:

1. She was for earmarks before she was against them and was the first mayor of Wasilla to hire a lobbying firm.
2. She was for the bridge to nowhere before she was against it and kept the money instead of sending it back to the federal gov't.
3. She claims to have had no involvement in the attempts to get her brother-in-law fired as a state trooper, but her own husband made calls on her behalf and there are emails from her personal account to the Director of Safety asking why he was still employed.
4. She claims to be fiscally responsible, but left the town of Wasilla in debt.
5. She claims to be a Christian, but many people in Alaska have spoken up to say how hateful and mean she is.

Should we believe Palin or the avalanche of evidence that clearly indicates she's just like George Bush - a wolf in sheeps clothing willing to say anything to get elected?

However, unlike Bush, she won't won't be able to run out the clock on this election and hope that the great people of this country don't catch on until she's in the White House.

Reality has a liberal bias!!

She sold it not to benefit the people, she sold it because it was breaking down. Read the last paragraph and draw your own conclusions…I know I did.
