Palin accused 'Obama-Biden Democrats,' of attacking her family Monday.

(CNN)— Governor Sarah Palin accused “Obama-Biden Democrats,” of launching a series of unfair attacks against her and her family in a fundraising email sent to supporters Monday.

“Friends, in the course of a few weeks, the Obama-Biden Democrats have launched attack after attack on me, my family and John McCain,” Palin writes in the email. “They’re desperate to win and they’ll no doubt launch these attacks against other reformers on our ticket.”

Watch: Obama says discussion of Sarah Palin's family is 'off-limits'

Earlier this month, the McCain campaign said its $47 million fundraising record for the month of August was due in large part to the addition of the Alaska governor to the ticket. Her presence on the campaign trail has also translated into larger crowds at campaign events throughout the country.

Palin said Obama and Biden have a “large financial advantage,” urging supporters that a contribution of any size will help stop the spread of “lies” and “misinformation” coming from Democrats.

“We must stop them,” Palin writes, “...before they turn these shameful tactics on others we support.”

Earlier this month when Obama was asked about Bristol Palin’s pregnancy, the Illinois senator repeated previous calls that “people’s families are off-limits.”

“This shouldn’t be part of our politics,” Obama said “It has no relevance to show Governor Palin’s performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president.”

What do Sarah Palin and a pitbull have in common?

Both are equally qualified to be Vice President.

Marqus   September 22nd, 2008 4:16 pm ET

She said that Obama and Biden has been spreading lies about her but what are they lying about...I dont even think she know"s. Everything that comes out of her mouth is a lie. She really has her nerve on this on...

Canadians4Obama-Biden   September 22nd, 2008 4:16 pm ET

The Truth Hurts Ms Palin! Did you really mean to direct that to the Democrats or was that meant for your Palin-McCain Admin?? Haha. You can't even keep your lies straight. So come back with some substance. Remember you claimed to be a pitbull. Act like one!

OS   September 22nd, 2008 4:16 pm ET

Another lie – it is said to hide one lie you have tell one hundred lies.

Republican Garbage   September 22nd, 2008 4:16 pm ET

Omg!! what a liar!!! These people are criminals....

Gal, Ohio   September 22nd, 2008 4:16 pm ET

And why doesn't the media ask what lies are being said? What attacks have been made on her family? She is the one putting them in the spot light ..I havn't seen attack one on them.

If the media isn't willing to ask these questions why are they giving it air time?

mel   September 22nd, 2008 4:16 pm ET

i want to hear more about her pastor who conducts witch hunts.

mitcho   September 22nd, 2008 4:16 pm ET

i think it's worth making the note that every single comment on this article is negative towards the McCain-Palin campaign...thank you everybody for the boost in moral! Here in good ol' republican Utah, sometimes my wife and i feel like we're the only ones gunning for Obama!

tiffany in ohio   September 22nd, 2008 4:16 pm ET

i didnt know you cold mix pitbulls with chiua uas. this funny!!! LMBFWAO!!!

Informed Voter   September 22nd, 2008 4:16 pm ET

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT??!?!?!

It's a distraction from the Economy ................ ain't working Sarah ...

A, T.   September 22nd, 2008 4:16 pm ET

This is really the reform of the truth! why is she running from the investigation of the said Troopergate? Why is she calling herself reformer when she has only to reform their straight talk? I was flattered because I thought she was a great personality! But...

KATHLEEN   September 22nd, 2008 4:16 pm ET

With this economic disaster upon us, thru Reaganonimics big push
for CORPORATIONS and Big Bucks thru deregulation, Americans
are faced with a choice, ARE YOU RACISTS are just STUPID?

Lies to the American taxpayer from the Republicans-And now McCain
Palin Bush tactics are ENOUGH for any nation to face!!!!!

And, The late great Reagan let the RICH have it all, expecting it to
trickle down to the rest of us. WELL, it DID NOT!!!!!

Obama Biden 2008. DO not vote against Obama because of RACE!!!

Jeremiah   September 22nd, 2008 4:16 pm ET

Funny, Republicans say that Democrats are vicious, Democrats say the same about the Republicans. That's amazing, politicians lie? Crazy!.....who would have thought it? Even the "holy one" Obama lies, strange that a politician would do that.

All I've heard this campaign is bickering and crying over what the other side is doing. McCain launches ads that distort the truth about Obama, Obama does the same about McCain, the funny part is CNN and other "credible news sources" only address the McCain ads. I am an independant and unlike most people seem to be doing in voting for their ridiculous party, I will be watching these candidates in their debates to determine who I'm going to vote for, and praise the day where a candidate who runs isn't a worthless democrat liar or a repub liar.

Al, NY NY   September 22nd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

hey Sarah. YOU ARE NOT A VICTIM. STOP PLAYING THE VICTIM CARD. Everyone now knows that she and JM are capable of saying and doing anything and so Obama/Biden strike back.....oh they're lying about me. Poor me.....save it Fido. Pretty soon you'll be back looking at Russia from your backyard

Shane   September 22nd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Oh Sarah-liar, liar, pants on fire.

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Obama/Biden '08

Spencer from VA   September 22nd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Palin = LIAR

McCain = BIGGER LIAR

McCain/Palin = SATAN IN A SUIT

Sweetgreen   September 22nd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Sarah Palin is "off her rocker". Her and McCain lie on a daily basis then have the nerve to play victim.

Pot– meet kettle!

Vone   September 22nd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

No one talking about her family . She has nothing else to say to the american people. She repeated the same old story in the media over and over again. She kept putting her family out there. A message to Palin we are on the economy know .......

Katherine   September 22nd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Good heavens! The National Enquirer keeps digging up uncomfortable 'tidbits' about family Palin, but the Dems don't repeat them, showing considerably more self-restraint than the GOP did/does.
She really should quit the whining: It's so humiliating to women when a female candidate just can't take the heat.

pb   September 22nd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

What in the world is this person talking about? Obama has never lied about or made any personal derogatory remark against those two "crazies". What do they think will come from this remark? "If they say this long enough, the dumb Americans will believe it?" I see why it took her so long to finish college; not very bright is she? Shame on the both of you, McCain and Palin! Americans are not stupid!!

SpookyX   September 22nd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Palin said that Hillary was whining? Looks like Palin has learned to play the violin herself.

Unbelieveable   September 22nd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

You have GOT to be kidding me??? The GOP is the MASTER of lies.... uh... let's talk about the bridge to...... oh yeah and her "experience" in foreign policy....or homeland security..because she is over the National Guard?

Even FACT CHECK as well as other independent sources have written PAGES about how the ads, speaches, – most everything she says is either completely not true or at the very least highly manipulated and taken out of context.

PLEASE.... Are you guys really falling for this woman?

Chris   September 22nd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Didn't she call Hillary a whiner???

Dem for Unity   September 22nd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Republicans are putting on their shirts. I kissed a pit bull with lipstick and I like it...............I get they like their face bitten off. Suckers. She is one to talk about lying. wow

Sarah   September 22nd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Democrats are good at lies because they have mouth with no plan, no brain and no heart.

Informed Voter   September 22nd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT??!?!?!

Dawn Lancaster   September 22nd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Does anybody know what she was talking about? She is George Bush's twin all the way.

David   September 22nd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

This woman was a perfect match to the fear mongering and dishonorable John McCain. She is just like him and will do or say anything to get into the White House.

Obama Understands   September 22nd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Sarah Palin is delusional. She and John The Mask McBush are the Queen and King of lying in this campaign. She and the Mask need to take go on a trip on the Bridge to Nowwhere because that is exactly where this story is going....Nowhere!

Sally   September 22nd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

WHAT A JOKE! SHE IS A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR. GIVEN HOW LITTLE SHE SPEAKS, AND WHAT PERCENTAGE OF HER SPEECHES ARE LIES – I THINK SHE IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE BIGGEST LIAR IN THIS ELECTION.

judy, Wisconsin   September 22nd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

How about some cheese to go with that lying whine.

I don't hear anything about her family at all–she has hardly answered a single question other than her scripted speech. It's unbelievable!!!

Mike, Raleigh   September 22nd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Obama/biden sounds like Osama bin laden.

Fellows, be careful of them.

Winston   September 22nd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Sarah,

You are off bases to accuse Barack or Joe of spreading whatever lies you are talking about. If you want to accuse those on blogs and chat rooms that are against you then do that. However to lay it on the table that the Obama/Biden team are behind this and then request donations to campaign against them is dirty politics in itself.

TyWebb   September 22nd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

As Goober from The Andy Griffith Show used to say, "Say it again.".

Al from Georgia   September 22nd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Come on Sarah, the Democrats do not have to make up any lies. Of course, you are not helping things by being sequestered by the McCain puppets.
We all know once the TRUTH about you and your crazy ideas comes out (like charging victims for rape kits, flip flopping on the infamous bridge, implying it was God's plan to invade Iraq, etc. etc.) you and your dud of a running mate will be toast.

Amir K   September 22nd, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Desperate times call for desperate measures. "Let's lie about them lying and let's mix in a little fear to bring up deflating financial support" Let's see Fear+Lying = Republican Strategy! Perfect, now let's use a slogan like "Let's Roll" to galvanize our base and we should come up 1 point in the polls.

Mandy - South Carolina   September 22nd, 2008 4:14 pm ET

Oh My Gosh, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little!

She literally makes me sick.

Obama is extraordinary, Biden is ordinary, McCain is tolerable, Palin is unbearable!

Stephan   September 22nd, 2008 4:14 pm ET

What was lie anyway??

ednadavid   September 22nd, 2008 4:14 pm ET

How does having more money in one's campaign stop anyone from spreading lies?? does not sound like good logic to me – but when it comes to Ms. Palin – logic goes out the window. At this stage of the game – I do not believe that any amount of spin will change the pain that the American public feels from the fall out wreaked on them by the republican party. So there Ms. Palin – try putting a spin on the real grief and global shame that Americans are feeling today!

Tired of the Lies   September 22nd, 2008 4:14 pm ET

Got one word for you, Palin: factcheck.org.

Compare what Obama says to what McCain says.

'Nuff said.

Motorbreath   September 22nd, 2008 4:14 pm ET

Bob Indianapolis, IN...

As of two years ago the Dems took control of the house and senate....about two years ago our economy went down the drain.... Makes ya wonder?

conny   September 22nd, 2008 4:14 pm ET

Today is really not good DAY for me to be reading and typing because this is really a SHAME! iAM glad that Pafalin is pointing her because, if she is not careful her thumb may choke her LIAR

Waya   September 22nd, 2008 4:14 pm ET

Have to laugh. This woman is involved in all sorts of illegal activities and she accuses Obama of lies? When Sarah and Todd agree to face the investigators in Alaska, and answer questions about their "iffy" activities, THEN I will take her seriously. Until then, she is the worst liar of all.

Pathetic Palin   September 22nd, 2008 4:14 pm ET

I am not going to pay for the lipstick. I am not buying a pig either.

onelove   September 22nd, 2008 4:14 pm ET

Sarah, I forgott to add that you should at least keep up with factcheck.org. Factcheck is keeping us update on all the lies you and McCain are telling. I think this cry is about needing money for more smear ads. Sen. Obama is out raising and out spending you on ads. Just read this fact in the Los Angeles Times.

OBAMA 2008   September 22nd, 2008 4:14 pm ET

oh my goodness!!! Did she really say that with a straight face??? Man she is good! That just shows she is running out of things to talk about! The Lipstick hockey mom was getting old along with the bridge to no Where, the plane on ebay, oh and this one.... I have traveled to Iraq!, WAIT...... no I meant to say I can see Russia from my house!! LOL! This women is unreal! MCSHAME IS TEACHING HER HOW TO LIE VERY WELL!!

jAYjAY   September 22nd, 2008 4:14 pm ET

Sarah says "nice hat hamid.....who's the designer?"

FLewis   September 22nd, 2008 4:14 pm ET

I can't stand this women. She makes me sick!

Allison/PA   September 22nd, 2008 4:14 pm ET

Sarah is woman who does not think for herself. Everything she says is fed to her by their campaign. This woman does not have a moral bone in her body. She has no clue. She has lied so much that she is under the belief that her lies are truth. GIVE US A BREAK.

Luke   September 22nd, 2008 4:14 pm ET

Oh please. This is absolutely ridiculous. She deserves to be torn to shreds. But Obama and Biden have had the utmost respect for her and told people to back off her family. I can't wait till the press really gets to dig into her...

ChicagoJosh   September 22nd, 2008 4:14 pm ET

“We must stop them,” Palin writes, “…before they turn these shameful tactics on others we support.”

Yeah, please stop them before they uncover all the lobbyist working for us. Stop them before they uncover all the corruption and kickbacks I've been supporting. And please, oh please, stop them before this shameful truth spreads so that even Fox News and Karl Rove won't be a microphone for our lies.

Michael Birmingham Al.   September 22nd, 2008 4:14 pm ET

go take a walk on your bridge to nowhere

Truman   September 22nd, 2008 4:14 pm ET

Those Liberal monsters! They just won't stop attacking poor, defenseless John McCain or sweet little Sarah Palin. They didn't do anything to anyone! Those baby-eating, hobo-beating Left-wingers would probably even parade poor baby Trig Palin around in front of news cameras to show off his disability like he's some kind of sideshow freak.

Barack Obama stop your Liberal onslaught and your blatant ageism and sexism whenever you criticize your opponents. Why must you constantly drag John McCain's campaign down into the muck, when all he and other respectable men like Rudy Giuliani have been so respectful of your career and your food-stamp, ivy-league elitism? Can't a gentle old man drive 12 cars to his 9 houses in peace any more? Can't a hockey-mom be VP without sexists questioning her qualifications?

Ol' Lefty   September 22nd, 2008 4:13 pm ET

Liar, liar, pit bull on fire.

Helena   September 22nd, 2008 4:13 pm ET

This woman is unreal. Even Karl Rove said the McCain/Palin campaign ads were telling lies about Barack Obama.

Susie   September 22nd, 2008 4:13 pm ET

When lying alone doesn't work, point fingers and say the other side is lying. Nice tactic. Hopefully this country is smarter that it was four years ago though.

TrueDemocrat   September 22nd, 2008 4:13 pm ET

CNN, why arent you reporting on the BIGGEST rally in Alaskan history against Palin. 1,400 woman protesters came out, in Anchorage, protest against her with signs like, "I voted for her once; Never again."

jn   September 22nd, 2008 4:13 pm ET

Women for change......that was awesome!!!!

Gia in Los Angeles, CA   September 22nd, 2008 4:13 pm ET

Ha!! Look who's talkin'!!! Well, the Republicans strategy this season has always been to turn it around and blame everything on Obama, fake outrage, cause distration, and tell more and more lies themselves.

Sian   September 22nd, 2008 4:13 pm ET

That's fresh. Someone who tells lies on herself accusing another of lying on her. If she can't keep her facts straight how does she expect her opponent to.

ALLAN USA   September 22nd, 2008 4:13 pm ET

You Obama lovers don't have any idea why you love Obama. His no record, his friends REZKO,church, and other. He going to lose big time.

Jewel   September 22nd, 2008 4:13 pm ET

What in the world is this lady talking about? I think she's bipolar.

Terry   September 22nd, 2008 4:13 pm ET

I thought McCain was taking public funds for his campaign..How is it she's still asking for private contributions?

Ron   September 22nd, 2008 4:13 pm ET

It's hard to attack an open, honest, innocent person. Unfortunately, Sarah Palin is none of the above so much of what has been said of her and the questions raised are on point. Couple this with her sudden refusal to cooperate with investigators and you see a person that puts herself above the law. After eight years of our current administration being less than open and honest, I just can't stand to see another politican try their brand of trickery. No to Palin and her lies.

Joe Dallas/Fort Worth   September 22nd, 2008 4:13 pm ET

These accusations of lying always come about from both sides during presidential elections. I haven't heard either candidate lie about anything. I will say that the truth has been spun by both tickets. The thing that gets me, though, is when a candidate denies the truth, or claims that he/she misspoke.

sine   September 22nd, 2008 4:13 pm ET

Give me a break Ms.Pitbull ......what was it that you said about hillary and how she shouldn't whine?

How about you take your own advice? How about you stop telling lies? How about you cooperate with the investigation you previously said you were going to cooperate with?? How about you stop cramming about foreign policy and actually start answering question?

If i were running for VP I would have know all the countries on the map by now if I were shielded as much as you have been the last 1month.

Your an embarrasment to women and to americans. If you didn't blink when you were asked to be a potential president, you shouldn't blink when you make yourself available for questioning and interviews.

Leeahh   September 22nd, 2008 4:13 pm ET

As a Canadian I can only hope that America restores it place in the world by showing that they are not swallowing the blatant lies coming out of the Republican camp. Save yourself America and vote in real change. Obama/Biden 08

Joe Green   September 22nd, 2008 4:13 pm ET

Because Obama has chosen to take the low road, he cannot take the high ground now and claim innocence.

Yes, McCain has launched unfair attacks.

But for Obama to say "Oh, Yea? Well he has 13 cars!" is equally as ridiculous and stupid.

I am SOOO disappointed in both McCain and Obama. They should be made to go sit in the "naughty chair".

lulu   September 22nd, 2008 4:13 pm ET

There are stories flying all over the internet regarding Axelrod and astroturfing. Seems that a PR firm for Obama's camp has been caught spreading video lies about Palin on YouTube. As soon as they were caught, their website and all Palin videos were scrubbed from the internet. This happened Saturday evening.

Axelrod is just as dirty as Obama...any presidential candidate telling people to "get in their faces" is asking for trouble. Bad enough people can't put McCain/Palin yard signs up, or put McCain bumper stickers on their cards without having their cars keyed, or people screaming "racists" to occupants of the cars.

If these are the tactics Obama and his minions use, they deserve to have him lose..

Raj   September 22nd, 2008 4:13 pm ET

Just Plain ridiculous joke.... Facts appearing as lies to her:
(a) Who lied about Bridge to No-Where
(b) Who first started Negative ads?
(c) Who wanted Rape victims to pay for themselves?
(d) Who changed 5-6 schools?
(e) Who is escaping investigation into trooper case?

And the questions go on and on and on .....

PK   September 22nd, 2008 4:13 pm ET

Palin needs to go back to Alaska and make eskimo pies. She is the queen of lie's and has proven it since the night she came out at the republican convention.

Sarah.....and my last name isn't Palin!   September 22nd, 2008 4:13 pm ET

Some nerve! She is crazy...She needs her witch-hunter preacher to lay hands on her.

Chaz   September 22nd, 2008 4:12 pm ET

Looks like all the libs are here to stroke each other's fur. All you have are insults and attacks. Your posts prove that libs are only out to demean and condescend if you don't agree with a lib view or ticket.

I like Obama, too. He's a great speaker. Just not ready to lead our nation.

Lie-a-day Failin' Palin & Inane McCain Ain't Ready for Primetime   September 22nd, 2008 4:12 pm ET

Just because everything she said at the convention was a lie and has been proven wrong is no reason to turn it on the other side. Typical self-righteous, moral indignation the Rethuglicans are so famous for.
Is her hubby, Todd "on the down low" with a Eskimo boy?

Steve/ Houston,TX   September 22nd, 2008 4:12 pm ET

I'm sorry, but this is laughable, considering the source. Me thinks Palin is one hypocritical pit bull.

McBush invented lies and deceptions. McShame is the only old trash that will look American in their face and lie to them. I wonder how many lies he has told Cindy when caught cheating.

John ... We're Smarter Than You ...   September 22nd, 2008 4:12 pm ET

McCain lied this morning when he feigned knowledge of Carly Fiorina's firing and golden parachute from HP.

A. Pinto   September 22nd, 2008 4:12 pm ET

Lies !!! What is she talking about. She re-invented and took the definition of lies to another level.

John   September 22nd, 2008 4:12 pm ET

Not just Sarah Palin is a Liar, McCain is a liar too, he lies straight in face of the American people and American workers. One among them is, he said he does not buy foreign made cars, but that's a lie.

anne   September 22nd, 2008 4:12 pm ET

Next she will say Obama charged the women of Alaska for their own rape kits. Cause no one will think that's a LIE.

Does the lying ever get to a point where the American people can sue her for false information/attempted mind murder?

George   September 22nd, 2008 4:12 pm ET

I'd like to hear what lies she thinks they are saying, and exactly how many reformers she thinks are allowed to be on the Republican presidential ticket.

Independant - Dallas, TX   September 22nd, 2008 4:12 pm ET

And the vast network of right wing propoganda radio stations run with Saint Sarah's accusation and before long, truth has been turned 180 degrees and it is the Democrats who are the liars.

This Right are not only breaking this country economically, they are poisoning the truth. God is watching and he is keeping score. A lot of Republican mouthpieces may get a different answer than expected when they finally reach the Pearly Gates.

PA for Obama   September 22nd, 2008 4:12 pm ET

She is talking about the man who instead of attacking her pregnant daughter said that families were off limits??? She is disgusting!

I can't wait to send her back to Alaska on Nov. 4th

Kitten for Obama   September 22nd, 2008 4:11 pm ET

She is losing it. Obama said in the very beginning family was off limit, or has she forgot. This is so awful, she is pretty desperate. How sad this is that she is trying to manipulate people the same way she did in Alaska. THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gary of El Centro, Ca   September 22nd, 2008 4:11 pm ET

She needs to take a long walk off a short bridge. She can spew lie after lie, but nobody better call her on it. No need for anyone to lie about her.......the truth is strange enough and will sink her boat for sure.

She is as delusional as John McCain. I sincerely hope she isn't serious. I am an avid reader and watch the news whenever I can; however, I have no idea what she is talking about.

If she can't take the heat she needs to pack up and go back home! Unbelievable!

Miller   September 22nd, 2008 4:11 pm ET

So, what lies is are you talking about, Mrs Palin? As usual, this ticket just talks in generalities...no examples or substance....they are spreading lies about you and your family? Please, give me one example.....just one. As far as lying about McCain, that's an even bigger joke...the guy has so many things that you can attack, that there's no reason to make anything up! We are getting more of the same, all around from these guys...fake outrage and bs!! Enjoy this winter back in Wasilla, Mrs Palin......

Kelley   September 22nd, 2008 4:11 pm ET

You should talk Sarah....quit lying yourself.

liar, liar, pants on fire.

miguel   September 22nd, 2008 4:11 pm ET

Well, boo boo hoo little Sarah No Brains. You and McCain are finished. You and the Republicans can’t sleaze you way out of this one. The economy is in a tail spin and the American voter knows who to blame: the Republican ethic of greed, corruption, and deregulation of your rich buddies on Wall Street.

Steve   September 22nd, 2008 4:11 pm ET

Can you offer specifics on these lies, Gov. Palin?

No? Why am I not surprised?

Sally from Cali   September 22nd, 2008 4:11 pm ET

It's the public. The Obama campaign does not have to say negative things about Palin.

Most of her misery is self inflicted. She has so much excess baggage.

It's the American people who are vetting her and they don't like what they see.

Sure. Continue to lie Palin. There are more lies coming from your mouth regarding your record that we need a website dedicated to all of your lies. Stop the b.s. and projection. People are seeing through your lies.

Jude   September 22nd, 2008 4:10 pm ET

Isn't it kind of hillarious that McCain-Palin always play "follow the leader"? Obama-Biden said "Change"...so they followed..next it was "economy is pathetic"...now "they are lying"....common were's the originality...where's the do something new?

James Cunningham   September 22nd, 2008 4:10 pm ET

Sarah palin is a liar – CNN knows this, MSNBC knows this, FOX news knows this, and ther AMerican people are smart enough to know this.

atr   September 22nd, 2008 4:10 pm ET

How is it that the Republicans are fundraising? Didn't they opt into public financing which prohibits rundraising after the convention? Someone please explain.

Gary B   September 22nd, 2008 4:10 pm ET

can she name them?

SidJustice from Indy   September 22nd, 2008 4:10 pm ET

WHAT?!?!?!? These people truly are whack jobs.

"I told congress if we wanted to build a bridge, Alaskans would build it ourselves!!"

JD in Moraga, CA   September 22nd, 2008 4:10 pm ET

Why don't you get specific about what "lies" or "attacks" you're talking about? And I guess your phrasing means that the Democratic Party ticket can refer to lies and attacks as coming from "Palin / McCain Republicans" ?

Get over it, sister – you've only been in the race a few weeks and already your irrelevancy is showing.

gloria   September 22nd, 2008 4:10 pm ET

I can't believe that either Palin or McCain could actually stoop so low...but I could be wrong. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!
Perhaps if just once they would back up their comments with facts.

Dee New Jersey   September 22nd, 2008 4:10 pm ET

You have got to be kidding me. You are actually asking for more money to stop the lies!!!!!!!!!!!!! What so you and McCain can lie some
more to the American people.

This sounds like alot of whinning from you two.

Maureen / Calif.   September 22nd, 2008 4:10 pm ET

You are the liar Prom Queen. You are like a skier on a mountain of moguls jumping from lie to lie without conscience. I say thanks but no thanks to McCain/Palin BS. And just for that, I think I will donate again to Obama.

Shari, NY   September 22nd, 2008 4:10 pm ET

Oh, Sarah! You have even copied the slogans, the ideas, and now lie accusations too. Good luck!

KH   September 22nd, 2008 4:10 pm ET

I wonder if she can cite any specific lies Obama or Biden has said about her. I know I can easily remember quite a few lies on her part.

Bill, West Palm Beach   September 22nd, 2008 4:10 pm ET

Sarah Palin reminds me of one of the spy broads in the old black and white fascist movies of the 1940s.

John in Binghamton NY   September 22nd, 2008 4:10 pm ET

What planet does she live on? Oh yeah, planet Alaska!!

How is she or McCain a reformer. They push GOP policy and you do what they say or else. GOP got us into this mess.

She lies just about every time she opens her mouth. "Thanks, but no thanks..."

I she McCain/Pain would stop lying about Obama. He came out and said lay off people's kids. I didn't her him talk once about anyone's family.

Her lying is just horrible. How does she get away with it??

PE   September 22nd, 2008 4:10 pm ET

This is so Sad!!
The McCain Campaign is always trying to act like they are the victims!

OBAMA BIDEN 2008– PERIOD!!

Maya Lawrence   September 22nd, 2008 4:10 pm ET

What a hoot! She's calling Obama and Biden liars! Okay Sarah...that's darn rich!

CNN = Jerry Springer of news   September 22nd, 2008 4:09 pm ET

I get all the Obama emails asking for donations, none of them even mention Palin. We are not paying attention to Palin anymore, there are real issues to discuss. This seems to be an attempt by Palin to keep herself in the news to make her relevant. The 'new car smell' has worn away, all that is left is Cheney in disguise. We are much more concerned about the economy right now and too busy to keep up with the drivel about lipstick and celebrities.

Arden   September 22nd, 2008 4:09 pm ET

Shame on you Sarah Palin, shame on you. Your John McCain's running mate so you have to be as much of a lier as they are.

the other jd   September 22nd, 2008 4:09 pm ET

OK, CNN...please learn what the objective case is. Against HER and her family. NOT against SHE and her family.

That being said, Palin is a big whiney baby.

Rita of Dallas   September 22nd, 2008 4:09 pm ET

How can Palin even act furious over what she calls lies by the Democrates. She supported the bridge before she was against it. She is against earmarks, but hired lobbyists to obtain millions for her state. She was willing to cooperate in tropper-gate, now she isn't. I find her outrage rather amusing.

Tracey - New York   September 22nd, 2008 4:09 pm ET

SERIOUSLY!!??? LIES??

I can't take this woman anymore...

Highpowered   September 22nd, 2008 4:09 pm ET

If it is about the "Rape Victims pay for Rape Kits" sorry Palin it is true... You should know that I mean you were the Mayor of Washilla Right?????

shan   September 22nd, 2008 4:09 pm ET

attacks on her family? attacks on the reformers on their ticket?

what is she talking about??? this is beyond ridiculous!!!

Oh give me a BREAK!   September 22nd, 2008 4:09 pm ET

Stop playing the victim, it's obvious you're the abuser.

HOW STUPID DO YOU THINK AMERICA IS, PALIN?

Republican Trainwreck   September 22nd, 2008 4:09 pm ET

voter   September 22nd, 2008 4:09 pm ET

Sure. Continue to lie Palin. There are more lies coming from your mouth regarding your record that we need a website dedicated to all of your lies. Stop the b.s. and projection. People are seeing through your lies and it is pathetic to act innocently when there is reports to the contrary. I am a woman who is saying that you are an unqualified liar.

Mike   September 22nd, 2008 4:09 pm ET

What a great example for women!!

An uneducated unqualified VP Candidate.

If she becomes VP, having a quality education and good experience will go out the window when runnning for President!!

We Demand Our Country Back!   September 22nd, 2008 4:09 pm ET

The JoBama Camp has been ignoring Mooseburger and her family for a while now...what is this woman talking about? I get emails from the Obama campaign and I can't figure out what she's talking about for the life of me.
Get real ya hack!

Patriot   September 22nd, 2008 4:09 pm ET

You mean Sort of like this:

McCain has vowed to wipe out earmarks, which are targeted funding for specific projects that lawmakers put into spending bills. As governor, Palin originally supported earmarks for a controversial $398 million Alaska project dubbed the "bridge to nowhere." But she dropped her support after the state's likely share of the cost rose. She hung onto $27 million to build the approach road to the bridge.

Under Palin's leadership, Alaska this year asked for almost $300 per person in requests for pet projects from one of McCain's top adversaries: indicted Sen. Ted Stevens. That's more than any other state received, per person, from Congress for the current budget year. Other states got just $34 worth of local projects per person this year, on average, according to Citizens Against Government Waste, a Washington-based watchdog group.The state government's earmark requests to Congress in her first year in office exceeded $550 million, more than $800 per resident.

Pam   September 22nd, 2008 4:09 pm ET

I guess she would know a lie when she hears one.

lisajenn blk/woman in America   September 22nd, 2008 4:08 pm ET

the most amazing thing is – although most politicians stretch truth, tell the same sad story over and over and offer some mantra that is a slogan stated over and over again. mccain and their group are full of lies. and sarah oh so silly sarah is the queen of stretch and downright deceit. i wish she could use just an ounce of the sense God gave a goat and stop playing the victim – before we make her pay for the exam, insist she pay for the walk across the bridge to "nowhere", chat it up with investigators of troopergate and tell us when she really, i mean really asked her girls if she should run for VP. her, claiming obama people are creating stories about her when she is doing it so wonderfully herself is as amazing as the people who buy that crap and are prepared to gamble their lives on road – lies built. whew!

Marie   September 22nd, 2008 4:08 pm ET

Bridge to where ever,seeing Russia from Alaska when all there is a piece of iceberg she was looking at and what about the pta mom who haven't been active since her oldest was in elementary,and we don't even want to begin the train of lies McCain and his campaign has told.BUT the biggest was the deception of Wall Street leading to people losing their JOBS AND HOMES.Woman give me a break and take McCain back to Alaska with you.This is another one of the republican tricks to get sympathy from the american people when it should be the american people you should offering comfort too this just shows how selfish you are

Montana Thinker   September 22nd, 2008 4:08 pm ET

This woman is obviously deranged. No really, that wasn't nice. I am concerned, however, that she seems to be a dangerous woman. Dangerous to the average American woman, dangerous to the economy and to foreign relations.

Soon after Palin's comments on Russia during her TV interview, a friend's mother, who lives in Venezuela, called to let him know that Russian fighters and the Russian Navy were coming to Venezuela. This was pretty much ignored in the media until today. I wonder if it is coincidence that Palin made a vague threat and then the Russian military moves very close.

onelove   September 22nd, 2008 4:08 pm ET

David   September 22nd, 2008 4:08 pm ET

This is just like when McCain called Judas Iscariot a liar.

Michael   September 22nd, 2008 4:08 pm ET

I find it very very interesting how she says Dems are lying, but at least, the article give no examples! Yet when the Dems call out a lie, they give the lie, and then go on to explain why it is a lie!

It is oh so pathetic when repubs play victim.

mary, older white lady from NJ for Pres. Obama   September 22nd, 2008 4:08 pm ET

DON'T TAKE THE BAIT, AMERICA!!!

MCCAIN IS USING HER NOW TO START A SHOUTING MATCH WITH OBAMA!!!

HE HAS NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN MAKING HIM ANGRY OR RAISING THE LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY FOR HIS CAMPAIGN,

NOW THAT HE CAN'T RAISE ANYMORE MONEY HIMSELF, BECAUSE HE TOOK THE 84 MILLION FROM BEHIND DOOR # 2, HE NEEDS ANOTHER WAY TO GET IT!!!!

STAY FOCUSED AMERICA!!!

Worried in NYC   September 22nd, 2008 4:08 pm ET

This coming from a woman that is stonewalling an investigation into her ethics. Puhleeezz

Boisepoet   September 22nd, 2008 4:08 pm ET

Would any of those lies be:
- Palin advocated abstinence only education, even though it failed in her home.
- Palin wants transperency in government, unless she is the one being investigated, then she'll do whatever is necessary to obstruct the investigation including having her husband ignore a subpeona.
- That while she was mayor of Wasilla her town charged rape victims for their own 'rape kit' used to collect evidence for the police department?
- That she has no foreign policy experience or education, and that just because Alaska is next to Russia, that doesn't mean she knows anything?

Maybe she should have stayed out of the kitchen, because whining on a public stage is not what we want out of a leader.

Peggy   September 22nd, 2008 4:08 pm ET

I am not an American, I will offer my unbiased opinion as usual. I would tell Americans to stop fighting and hating one another because Russia sent some warships to Venezuela. You may not see or understand it but your country has one great ennemy.

sf   September 22nd, 2008 4:08 pm ET

What a joke! It is HER and HER husband who are avoiding being interviewed in "Troopergate" after she said she would cooperate fully. Hmmm, the longer she won't talk in regards to Troopergate, the more guilty it seems that SHE has something to hide. This woman left the town of Wasilla in debt 22 million, and, now the McCain campaign is running her governor's office. Give me a break! Please go NORTH to Alaska and stay!

lilly   September 22nd, 2008 4:08 pm ET

This is just outrageous but certainly in character with the McCain campaign. I wonder when moderate Republicans will start disavowing them, are there no GOP politicians with the integrity to stand up to the lies perpetuated by the head to their party? One can hope......

35 Southbound   September 22nd, 2008 4:08 pm ET

Remember what this woman said about a whining Hillary Clinton? Repubs are unbelievable!!! They lie about lying when they are confronted about their lies and then turn around and lie about others lying about them, can anyone follow that, they are crazy!

Carl   September 22nd, 2008 4:08 pm ET

Can we vote today and get rid of Mcsame and the pig with lipstick? America can not wait for change.

You americans own your country , You can afford to destroy it more and more by giving power to the republicans again.
but you dont have to flee to other countries and expect to be seen as number one , Americans are dying to stay in our country.

Frank   September 22nd, 2008 4:08 pm ET

Just read the Obama follower's remarks posted here and you will see every smear angle and outright lies posted with shrill hatred. Society is going down the tubes and these are the people responsible. Just say NO! to Obama! Obama himself gives daily politically slanted untruths. Shame on you all!

sly   September 22nd, 2008 4:08 pm ET

LMAO!!!!!! That's as intelligent a comment as I can get on this one. Seriously? I know McShame has to wind her up every morning so she can walk around saying "Thanks, but no thanks, "Thanks, but no thanks". Seriously?

li   September 22nd, 2008 4:08 pm ET

enough with the he said she saids for BOTH SIDES. What are going to do – I mean really do for this country!

Newflash!
McCain you do not have the authority to fire the SEC chair
Obama you do not have the authority to steal from who you call rich and give to the poor. You need rep agreement for that.

Bush admin..What are doing??? We can magically come up with billions to bail out badly managed companies but we can "bail-out" social security???

You all need to look again and the job desciption of president.

MY GOD ARE THERE REALLY NO BETTER CHOICES?????

John   September 22nd, 2008 4:07 pm ET

I will admit you fit well with the GOP machine. Go back to Alaska before you attract any more national attention as to your misdeeds in office. We the taxpayers are no longer interested in what your Party offers ( I never was). That will be made crystal clear in a few weeks.

andrew   September 22nd, 2008 4:07 pm ET

Winny   September 22nd, 2008 4:07 pm ET

Ms. Palin has no credibility. Her first speech had lies about gas pipe, airmarks etc. Come on lady what about your own christian values. You people give us Christians a bad name. I wonder what Jesus would do. The way you and your party belittle Senator Obama and taunt him as if he was less than. Where is the love in that? Isn't he a fellow christian. I hope you don't loose your soul when this is done.

Isn't the McCain/Palin campaign run on public financing? How can they now ask for donations? Isn' this illegal? I'm sure there are convenient loopholes they can traipse through whenever they need a few extra bucks...riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Nevada   September 22nd, 2008 4:07 pm ET

McCain & Palin :

McPalin think that Americans are so stupid that they can lie away and win the election.

The problem is that some Americans believe their lies (bigots are not even counted here). I hope that there are "more" people who have a good judgment.

Gary   September 22nd, 2008 4:07 pm ET

Oh, I see the Obama brigage of bloggers were ready to attack Sarah Palin when she stood up for herself. Well, Sarah nor John have attacked the families of Obama or Biden! Nor have they gone to the gutter to spin lies lije democrats are good at putting on blogs. The American people are not stupid, they will see McCain – Palin as the best candidates for the president and vice president job. 20,000 showed up to see Obama and 60,000 to see McCain/Palin. Wow!

Carmelle Kuehn   September 22nd, 2008 4:07 pm ET

Palin can get by with this? And it makes the news? She is the most reprehensible liar I've ever heard! Call me brainwashed? Obama and Joe are saints next to her (and they just pulled out of my ND state!) They may be surprised by the results if their effort here! Ol' son of Cain thinks he has this state, yet he's never come here, probably can't name three cities, and most likely gets it confused with South Dakota (a sin to Nodakers).

Just say NO to Bush 44 and Caribou Barbie.

Go Obama/Biden!!!

Ginna   September 22nd, 2008 4:07 pm ET

Hey Caribou Barbie,

Obama and Biden don't need to discredit you and McShame with lies. You are doing such a fabulous job yourselves, why would they waste their time. If you have any real experience, let's hear it because most Americans are tied of hearing the same old debunked claims again and again. And if McShame's policies are so limp he has to resort to shameful ads, maybe he needs to pop a Viagra and talk about what he will do instead of what he thinks his opponent will.

first the GOP came up with Obama is not black enough...it failed

They came up with not ready to lead....it failed

They came up with "Change"....failed too.

"More of the same" .......failled

Now Sara lying is using Obama's line for fund raising....lol its funny.

Maybe soone Mcliar and sara lying will say they are DEMs or last name is Obama. thieves

chrissy   September 22nd, 2008 4:07 pm ET

About the Bridge to Nowhere

About Troopergate

About an open government and transparency

About accepting your vp nomination after consulting your family

They're lies alright..but Palin told 'em all!!!

proud army and navy mom   September 22nd, 2008 4:07 pm ET

What?????? After Dumb and Dumber has spews nothing but lies and deceit about Sen Obama, they are complaining of being lied on!

The problem is that nobody lies on them. It's words from their own mouths.

The repugs are like a bully that spoiling for a fight by picking on someone whom they think won't fight back.

But when that person turns around and knocks the crap out of them, they starts to boo-hoo like crybabies. Get out of here with that mess.

I thought women politician and i quote " just have to work harder and prove themselves under a microscope" You are amazing peace of work. I will hope that my daughter does not dodge my questions and act like a victim whenever questions of her ETHICS pop up.

Nifty 60, female and white   September 22nd, 2008 4:06 pm ET

Are you worried Sarah? I hope so because with you all this nastyness and lying started. You are the one that championed it. I have been following the campagain from day one and listening to all. Yeah, everyone was tsrowing jabs until you showed up with your lies. I have watched your interviews and you will not answer in a simple "Yes" or "NO". You are evasive when it suits you. Your biggest lie was to tell people that you will fully cooperate with the "Troopergate" invetigation. Right!!! What are you hiding? So keep on lying because you have most certainly lost this Hillary supporter.

Obama '08

fixthebroken   September 22nd, 2008 4:06 pm ET

Sure. Whatever.

Just wait for the 527s/switboat ads to come out this month from "McCain-Palin" supporters.

I love how she used the term "Obama-Biden Democrats" to make sure she subtly tries to blame Obama and Biden in the whole thing.

She is just as dishonorable as Mccain

phil-texas   September 22nd, 2008 4:06 pm ET

Just think after the election she can go back to Alaska and freeze.

She ain't so tough after all!! Democrats, republicans, independents, and others, pleeeease, let's elect Obama/Biden on November 4, and run this women out of town. I cannt stand listening to her. How can her husband put up with her. We need to shut her up once and for all.

Gayle   September 22nd, 2008 4:06 pm ET

By the way why are you not out there with John today? Is it because John is realizing your starting to be a true liability and that your popularity has gone down?

I almost hurt myself laughing!!!!
Man those Republicans have flat out lost it.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?   September 22nd, 2008 4:06 pm ET

The mccain campaign is laughing very hard behind the scenes. The are very good at making the media chase its tail. Every negative claim the media calls mccain out on, the mccain campaign just turns that same negative charge back at the media or obama. This is so fun to watch them get played everyday.

williefloyd   September 22nd, 2008 4:06 pm ET

If anyone lied, Sarah Palin did. Since the day she came on the scene, that was what she was about. LIES! I have not seen anything to indicate Obama has said one thing about her or her family. She needs to go back to Alaska.

rich   September 22nd, 2008 4:06 pm ET

I like when they come out with ads against Obama that are complete lies it is O.K. Then when Obama plays hard ball and fires back she and McCain (Bush44) can not take. Also I have never heard Obama/Binden say anything about her family. This is just another trick by the Republications to change the race from issues to personality. Nice try. I am an independent and I am voting for Obama.

There is no way I will vote for "the fundamentals of our economy are strong," (McCain) or I can see Russia from Alaska (Palin).

David, Silver Spring, MD   September 22nd, 2008 4:06 pm ET

And this is the woman we want one heartbeat away from having her finger on the nuclear launch button?

She sounds awfully paranoid to be put in a position of that much power. It's kind of scary when you think about it.

President Palin: "Tonight I launched a full nuclear strike against all those nasty countries that were making fun of me! Now, they will desperately try to strike back, so this world may be destroyed. But I'm here to tell you there's another world waiti <<>>

RAISING TAKES
TAKING MONEY FROM BIG OIL... WHEN THE MCCAIN CAMP RECEIVED MORE
BEING AN ELITIST............ ??? AND MCCAIN HAS 13 CARS AND 9 HOMES WOW............
OBAMA NOT TAKING A STAND ON THE FINANCIAL CRISIS...........

ALL LIES.....PROVEN LIES....PALIN KEPT THE MONEY FOR THE BRIDGE TO NO WHERE.......... HER STATES DOESN'T PRODUCE AS MUCH ENERGY AS SHE HAS SAID IN THE PAST.......... MCCAIN DID SAY HE DOESN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE ECONOMY AND HAS SURROUNDED HIMSELF WITH LOBBYISTS...............

SARA COME ON NOW.............. LETS GET TO THE ISSUES........... NOT THE BS.............

Ryan   September 22nd, 2008 4:06 pm ET

The puppet does as the master commands, dance little puppet dance.

McCain has already lost all his remaining honor, not its time to start on Palin's.

The word is desperate, but its obviously all on the Republican's side. We have the economy going for us, Democrats don't have to lie. We just have to shine the light of truth onto your crap pile called Republican dignity.

OBAMA the unstoppable '08!

sneaky pete   September 22nd, 2008 4:06 pm ET

I still see people stating she has more experience than Obama bc hers is executive. But they repeatedly fail to mention that SHE ALSO HAS MORE EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE THAN MCCAIN AS WELL. Also, Bush had executive experience from one of the 3 largest states in the counrty (Texas), and hers is in one of the 10 smallest (I dont know exactly what number it is but i know the 660,000 alaskans is smaller than my hometown of San Jose!!!) and look what good that experience did preparing him. So stop saying she more qualified than Obama based on that fact, it just makes you look stupid.

Christine El Paso   September 22nd, 2008 4:06 pm ET

John McCain, He’s are Man but if he won't Lie, Palin sure can!

Liar Liar Palin on Fire

Stop this Drama and just vote Obama

Obama is REAL Change   September 22nd, 2008 4:05 pm ET

NO that Pit bull with lip stick didn't say someone is LIEING on HER?....

FAST CHECK…… pit bull, she knows that's what McCain hired....ops......picked her for, to LIE and cheat their way to the White House, while he stands behind her and SMILE with guilt...You may have FOOLED them in Alaska, but most of us ARE not FOOLS as she think.

GO back to Alaska were they don't want you either.....................

Morgan   September 22nd, 2008 4:05 pm ET

Pot calling the kettle black.

This from a woman that lies every day in her speeches about the plane being sold on ebay (FALSE), saying no to congress on the bridge (FALSE), not taking earmarks (FALSE), and not abusing power (PENDING CURRENT INVESTIGATION). Go to factcheck.org and you will see on the lies spelled out the Republicans are dishing out.

R.I.F.   September 22nd, 2008 4:05 pm ET

Are you kidding me? What the h are "Obama-Biden Democrats?" In other words you know Barack and Joe have not spread one lie about you so you are trying to make it seem like they are connected to the bloggers. I guess the "McCain-Palin Republicans" are racists since there is a ton of racists things out there from right wing bloggers about Obama.

McCain-Palin makes Bush-Cheney look like saints.

Matt   September 22nd, 2008 4:05 pm ET

I get all the Obamabot emails because I'm a proud Obamabot. The Obamatron has not delivered any lying emails about Palin's family to my Obamabot account, nor has any of my programming contained lies. Moreover, it is hard to pour my kool-aid with lies clogging the spout of the pitcher. This Obamabot would humbly suggest that Palin's latest statements are shenanigans and just more of the "if Obama says it, so will we" tactic they are using in order to play to the Bradley Effect.

Ken from Michigan   September 22nd, 2008 4:05 pm ET

OMG!, where the hell did this woman come from? Can she not hear herself talk. Lies, I believe she invented the concept! OMG, OMG, OH MY FREAKIN' GOD!!

Say It Loud ....   September 22nd, 2008 4:05 pm ET

OK ... so this tells me that repeated focus on your lies Mrs. Palin, must be hurting the GOP ticket.

The McCain campaign has a standard MO ... much like any other criminal ... of trying to co-opt every effective move that the Obama team has. You guys are the biggest copycat's I've ever seen.

I'm so glad that the labels of DISHONEST & DISHONORABLE are being attributed to the Republican ticket this year.

Why don't you sit down in an interview with Katie Couric and clear up all these lies. I hear she's free tomorrow ... Tuesday, or Wednesday ... or Thursdday .... you pick.

ranganraj   September 22nd, 2008 4:05 pm ET

Give me a break. I don't have time to list all their lies... the bridge, the rape kits, WMDs, polar bears (they're fine, btw), global warming (also not a problem)...

Sarah, we are not a nation of fools. That is the truth.

Chris, Antioch, CA   September 22nd, 2008 4:05 pm ET

I heard this morning she was saying that McCain was a reformer and deregulator his whole career in the Senate. That's a load of crap. The woman lies, lies, lies, and then turns around and projects her ugly truth on her opponents. This is Lee Atwater 101. Don't believe it. They're liars.

Obama / Biden 08 and 12

Rob   September 22nd, 2008 4:05 pm ET

She's prepping for Oct.2 , when she's going to play the victim for all it's worth. The polls are clearly showing the Clinton Dems gravitating back to Obama, but as Schmidt has already shown, there is no ceiling on how sleazy a campaign can get!

By the end of this, Palin will be crying on the stump about how unfair her life is. Some Vice President!

TerryL   September 22nd, 2008 4:05 pm ET

Palin has yet to tell a straight story, from the bridge to nowhere, to troopergate, to not really firing the executive chef to save the state money. I don't trust this woman as far as I can throw her.

banderson   September 22nd, 2008 4:05 pm ET

Deception, misdirection and propaganda that is the Republican way. This little ploy of Ms. Palin will undoubtedly work to a certain extent but I hope Americans are not so dumb as to fall for this obvious farce that the Republican party is throwing out there. For the record I haven't heard Senator Obama or Biden say anything about Ms. Palin or her family.

Tim from Buffalo   September 22nd, 2008 4:05 pm ET

Shannon   September 22nd, 2008 4:05 pm ET

james are you kidding, the media talked for weeks about how her child wasn't her own, how she's a bad mother for working, how she had an affair, how she's a bad person for having a Down Syndrome baby, they demeaned her children, they mocked her small town. Do you mean those lies James!

Dadedi   September 22nd, 2008 4:05 pm ET

The liar incarnate is now complaining? Lies are the oxygen that Republicans breath.

Alex   September 22nd, 2008 4:05 pm ET

Ahh, now they're the victims because the poisonous rhetoric and outright falsehoods aren't working. Time to pull out the politics of victimhood again!

Don't let them fool you people...there's nothing "maverick" about this ticket.

independent for OBama/Biden   September 22nd, 2008 4:05 pm ET

The McCain/Palin ticket is nothing but a lie. They have lied countless times and since she has nothing to offer on the economy, she is talking about stuff that has nothing to do with turning this country around. What a joke!

Louis   September 22nd, 2008 4:05 pm ET

Poor little Sarah got her feelings hurt–but McCain thinks she can be Commander-in-Chief.

neteret01   September 22nd, 2008 4:05 pm ET

Get over it Palin..... Talk about lies....I've heard all your lies from your own mouth. Pit bull in lipstick.... you said it yourself. This message is coming from a woman.

It is pathetic that the Obama-Biden Democrats are attacking her daughter. I've read these posts since the primaries started and I know how the Obama Democrats attacked Hillary. Get a life people!

ste[   September 22nd, 2008 4:05 pm ET

She is a flat out joke, She has no shame in lying what-so-ever. How disgusting, what a liar this women is.

Bill from Baltimore   September 22nd, 2008 4:04 pm ET

Do not forget that the GOP is ruthless and will stop at nothing to try and win the election, they have already told the most dispicable lies on their TV ads about Barack and then lie about their own performance over the past 8 years, if you listen to McCain Palin you would never know that a Republican has been in the White House for 20 of the last 28 years and controlled Congress for 16 of the last 18 years...And that sine the Dems won the House and Senate 2 short years ago there have been more GOP lead fillbusters than at any time in history...Then the GOP says that the Dems are ineffective...Give me a break

LA2NC   September 22nd, 2008 4:04 pm ET

Is she kidding? I mean really. Apparently this woman does not know the meaning of the word lie. John Mccain should explain this to her........ oh wait, never mind.

Billy   September 22nd, 2008 4:04 pm ET

The McCain/Palin campaign have told the most lies and distortions ever. They are being ridiculed on shows across the US for how much they have lied and now THEY have no shame by accusing the democrats of lying.

Pot meet Kettle. Kettle, Pot.

Keisha M.   September 22nd, 2008 4:04 pm ET

Palin is soo full of it

Being that Obama has forcefully said families are off limits, it's pretty obvious that the Obama campaign has not launched lies or emails about her family

Also, if that were true, why wouldn't see follow up with what the 'supposed' lies were?

That's the only way McCain/Palin can win- to make up stuff

It's really getting kinda pathetic now

Lisa   September 22nd, 2008 4:04 pm ET

LOL,
This is race is getting more interesting by the day. Now Ms. Lying Sarah herself is playing the victim card once again. Um, what exactly are those lies that she's referring to?

Sundance Kidd   September 22nd, 2008 4:04 pm ET

Playing the victim is the only approach the McCain-Palin ticket can use anymore .... otherwise they appear simply wrong and out of touch whenever they try to discuss actual issues.

It's so transparent.

Mark G   September 22nd, 2008 4:04 pm ET

Get a grip lady. You know what they are saying is true. If you check the facts...you and McCain distort the truth much more than Obama and in more severe ways. We don't need any more of your party's fuzzy facts.

Chris, IL   September 22nd, 2008 4:04 pm ET

This woman terrifies me. She has extreme views and is willfully ignorant of critical world issues. This is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

It is not a crime to research potential world leaders. It is not a crime to demand answers to important questions from these leaders.

Where is the responsible press in this? Why are they complicit in continuing this sham? Is it the fear of accusations of sexism?

Scared   September 22nd, 2008 4:04 pm ET

And exactly what planet did McPalin come from...??? Was she around the last three weeks? Did she see the disgusting Mccain ads? This is really scary.

I know specifically what lies you and Mr. McCain are spreading.

To you I say "Thanks but no thanks."

How dare anyone point a finger at Obama the Messiah! Doesn't she know that he is not supposed to be held to the same standards regarding any issue as any other candidate? It's perfectly ok to try and paint the Clintons as racists and then expect them to help get you elected. it's ok to bash mccain on the economy and have no plan for it himself (can you imagine if mccain took Obamas stance on it last week). it's ok to be an arrogant and self-righteous if your name is Obama. HE IS THE SAME AS EVERY OTHER POLITICIAN- A LIAR AND OPPORTUNIST.

Reese   September 22nd, 2008 4:03 pm ET

Seriously, you people supporting Obama claim he isn't lying all over the place? Even Liberal CNN has reported these lies in the last week!

These over the top people are a nasty brew of folks with no moral integrity. SNL suggesting Todd Palin is the father of his 17 year old daughters unborn child?

Nasty, and I don't see these thing's happening with the people that supported Hillary, or John McCain. JUST OBAMA SUPPORTERS and I really wish these kind of people would just tear up their social security cards and leave my country!

John B. From New Hampshire   September 22nd, 2008 4:03 pm ET

wait, wait... she accuses Obama of lying? this coming from the most dishonest campaign possibly in the history of our country?!?! P-O-T... calls...KETTLE BLACK!!!!!!!

Trysh, Los Angeles   September 22nd, 2008 4:03 pm ET

Is this woman not the biggest crybaby pitbull in the world? I have never heard a pitbull whine as much as she does. I'm starting to think she is more like a chihuahua; just non stop yapping about nothing important.

karenVA   September 22nd, 2008 4:03 pm ET

I guess Sarah Palin thinks the National Enquirer is owned by the Democratic National Committee. Welcome to the big leagues, guv. Sorry your plan to create an alternate reality by lying through your teeth didn't work. Don't worry, in six weeks you can go back home to Alaska and find out if that 80 percent favorable rating is still there to keep you warm at night.

Watching this election closely...   September 22nd, 2008 4:03 pm ET

GOP has gotten beyond ridiculus! This is politics- so I expect spin, I expect exaggerated statements, but I have never been so disgusted by a political campaign as I am by the campaign they are running! Dirty from start to finish! I respect McCain and his service to this country through his military career, but I have lost all respect for him as a political figure! Unfortunately, his running mate has offered NO redeeming qualities (...and I am a woman!). Everytime someone from the GOP opens their mouth, it becomes less and less likely that I would consider casting my ballot for that ticket. I am really saddened that the election has turned into this...

Tainopower   September 22nd, 2008 4:03 pm ET

mildredonline   September 22nd, 2008 4:03 pm ET

TALK ABOUT A CAMPAIGN SPREADING LIES! The Republicans are the best at it with all the lies they use in their campaign ads!!!

Wonder if my comments will make the CNN list. They haven't in the past!!

JM   September 22nd, 2008 4:03 pm ET

Give us a break! There are only two "Pinocchios" in this campaign; one is McCain and the other, even though programmed, is Palin. "Bridge to Nowhere", "Troopergate", expense report and per diem, McCain's "American" cars, need I keep going?

Sarah Palin is making us the laughing stock of the world while Steve Schmidt rails at every media property from the "New York Times" to "CNN" with a lot more in between.

We're onto you Sarah!

Paris   September 22nd, 2008 4:03 pm ET

If our journalists don’t have the backbone to standup to lies from Obama, I am glad that there is a Hockey mom that does.

Good for her. Go Palin, shake them up.

CNN are lies only lies if they come out of John McCain campaign?

Obama lies on Taxes, Obama lies on his relationship with William Ayers, Obama lies linking Rush and John McCain. Obama lies on his intention using the “Lipstick” comment.

The biggest and most shameful media cover-up of our time.

Lou   September 22nd, 2008 4:03 pm ET

Sarah – you are right. the Dems are desperate to win (they just cant beleive that we voted in Bush over Kerry and Gore). The dems have used every trick in the book, and then some, to try and sway voters. The funny thing is is that so many people see through the dems and media lies that they arent listening anymore. More people have flocked to the Republican ticket since Sarah Palin came on board, if this doesnt seal the deal for them then it will at least make it a very very close race – no landslide for Obama im afraid

McCain/palin – 08

John   September 22nd, 2008 4:03 pm ET

She should read the latest National Enquirer. It doesn't help her that she's the one that put her family in play and then complains when people tee off on her because of some the bad press. She complains, but it was her own words that brought it on.

Put lipstick on a pig and it's still a pig, not a hockey mom.

phil-texas   September 22nd, 2008 4:03 pm ET

Of course she is. It is called reverse psycology . What you do is spread all the lies you can then accuse your opponent of doing the same thing. What a croc. If this woman and I use the word looosely has he rmouth moving then she is lying. What a bunch of crap.

undecided in ohio   September 22nd, 2008 4:03 pm ET

Palin is not qualified. Period.

Angela   September 22nd, 2008 4:03 pm ET

Wow, imagine you can distort the truth and then blame the other “guy” for everything and try to get away with it? Hmmm, sounds like my young kid blaming my other son even though he was the guilty party.

McCain wants to spew out the lies & distortions and then play the victim game. The Karl Rove playbook is extensive!!! What chapter was that?

Arlane Margolis   September 22nd, 2008 4:03 pm ET

I know Sarah, they're saying you aren't qualified, you really did support the bridge to nowhere, you did abuse your power as governor, etc. It's just so awful when the other side lies, but what if they're telling the truth and you're the one lying about it?

The Conservative   September 22nd, 2008 4:03 pm ET

Why should we believe anything that comes out of McPalin's mouth? She should spread the lies to her target audience: those who do not know any better and are still following her! She should be greatful to "fixnews" and uninformed america! I can not stand her lies and unethical and uncouth tendencies.

Obama-Biden '08

Dan   September 22nd, 2008 4:03 pm ET

CNN – I do not understand why you will post 20 or 30 anti-McCain/Palin comments in a row, all that say the exact same thing, yet you will only occasionally throw in one or two comments from someone with a brain. Anyone who reads comments on the internet, outside of CNN.com, knows that there are many more people who are supporting McCain then you would have us know. This is ridiculous. Palin is right, Obama and Biden are spreading lies, they are playing the race card, they are trying to intimidate those who don't agree by telling their supporters to "get up in their faces and argue" Trust me CNN, we aren't intimidated by Obama, and we aren't intimidated by your grossly prejudiced website.

Susan   September 22nd, 2008 4:03 pm ET

I couldn't say it better than Scott in Atlanta. Maybe Sarah should look in the mirror before she starts pointing fingers.

Unplugged from the Matrix   September 22nd, 2008 4:03 pm ET

Mrs. Palin, with all due respect, you and your family are not one of the main issues our country is concerned about. Don't feel so important. Obama is sticking to the issues that matter and affect our lives.

Don't worry; once this is all over, I can see a career for you and your family in reality TV.

You mean shameless stories about you charging for rape kits?

Also, it seems your own campaign did not get the memo about "off-limit" family members as they were attacking Biden's son today...

More McCain attempts at discussing anything but the issues!!

Irma in North Carolina   September 22nd, 2008 4:02 pm ET

Sarah, you dont have any thing to talk about when you are out stumpin, you have to read every thing of of your telepromter, what Carl Rove has told you to say. Everything by you is a task from God. Well Sarah God will perform a very big task, and that is to take you and John out of this election. Then no one in america wont have fear you and John any more.

HarrisCo   September 22nd, 2008 4:02 pm ET

Lies? McCain and Palin can't go a day without lying, distorting, or misleading the voters about their record, their intentions, or their opponents. Sarah Palin won't even sit down for an interview so people can ask her directly about all the inconsistencies in her speeches versus her actual record.

John Kaleto   September 22nd, 2008 4:02 pm ET

Lying is, after all, what democrats do best.

Egad, what hypocrites they are!

David, Silver Spring, MD   September 22nd, 2008 4:02 pm ET

What's she talking about now? For a governor, she sure makes some off the wall claims. Now it's the "Obama-Biden Democrats" that are out to get her, eh?

What's an Obama-Biden Democrat, anyway? Anyone who disagrees with her?

I think maybe she stayed a little too long in the tanning bed.

Gregory   September 22nd, 2008 4:02 pm ET

You guys need to get a grip...no wonder Obama is doing as well as he is and has; you miss the forest for the trees. That "victim card" just doesn't play as well as those that invented it Paul, I agree.

Matt   September 22nd, 2008 4:02 pm ET

ARE YOU JOKING!?!?!?! This from the mouth of the person most often proven to be lying over the past two weeks? The campaign that has built itself entirely on lies?

These people are disgusting. Plain and simple. Absolutley 100% disgusting.

Obama #1   September 22nd, 2008 4:02 pm ET

Why are you fighting an investigation that began before the VP nod. Better yet, why is MSM allowing her to just spout off without having to answer real questions?

The republicans are pure evil for this fraud they are perpetrating with this person. Americans don't need to know their leaders until AFTER the election.

RC   September 22nd, 2008 4:02 pm ET

And if she and McCain cant handle a interview with a news person then they are in no shape to handle talks with Rusians. Whimpy. Just whimpy.

Napoleon Complex   September 22nd, 2008 4:02 pm ET

We're witnessing the complete meltdown of the McCain campaign. Sad and pathetic.

Sean   September 22nd, 2008 4:02 pm ET

Wow, all I can say is WOW. What is she trying to say..that it is ok to spread lies about her opponents religion, faith, upbringing, entire career but when someone questions her or her opponents character its not right? Get a life Palin

FemaleDemDisgustedbyMcPalin   September 22nd, 2008 4:02 pm ET

She needs to find another verb to use! Enough with the reform that she HASN'T done! No one is lying on her! She can't handle the truth! Time to put Mooselini to rest!

Shawn spencer   September 22nd, 2008 4:02 pm ET

I have 2 new bumper stickers here they are:

Don't vote your conscience. Vote McCain instead.

The other one is a McCain/Palin bumper sticker that I wrote "Unfit" over McCain's name and "Unqualified" over Palin's.

Grace Needed   September 22nd, 2008 4:02 pm ET

Hey, did she go into detail about what specific lies she is referring to? As far as I know, there has NOT been one lie propagated from the Obama/Biden camp, but lies aplenty from the McCain/Palin one. The next time she makes a statement like this, someone be sure and ask her what lie she is referring to? Heck, I'll go to their website right now and ask!

Did I miss something is Palin the one running for President or is it Mccain? Oh I forgot its the "Palin / Mccain" ticket. Everybody is talking about how she energized the base but its just sad that if wasnt for her Mccain would be dead in the water, yet she brings nothing to the table.

Jude   September 22nd, 2008 4:01 pm ET

I think most "intelligent" americans can see through the humor of this "call". Again...i think they are "making stuff up". The biggest Liars are accusing the other side now...is this some sort of sic irony?

Mark   September 22nd, 2008 4:01 pm ET

I guess when she stops reading of the promter and having planned interviews and starts taking direct questions we will find out how fast she can make up new lies

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?   September 22nd, 2008 4:01 pm ET

That has to be the most pathetic claim in presidential history. The most lying camaign in history has the nerve to say obama-biden are the liars. Numerous media outlets have called palin on her repeated lies and she has the nerve to call someone a liar. PLEASE, palin is a joke with no presidential credibilty. This coming from a person that goes on fox news for interviews because real journalists would eat her alive.

brad   September 22nd, 2008 4:01 pm ET

Please inform us. What are the lies you are being accused of. It would help greatly your case. Otherwise it is all talk.

nicole   September 22nd, 2008 4:01 pm ET

If Palin claims anything is "unfair" again I'm just going to puke. Nothing is "unfair" or "off limits" in my opinion when you're running for the highest office in the US - especially when you consider what's come from her own campaign!!

Abbey   September 22nd, 2008 4:01 pm ET

Wow, I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth...this is just ridiculous now...excuse me, the democrats are lying? Bridge to no where? The troppergate mess? The ebay plane? Look in the mirror ...McCain/Palin are the liars! AND NO ONE FROM THE OBAMA/BIDEN CAMPAIGN HAS TALKED ABOUT YOUR FAMILY!! LIARS!!!!

Laura PA   September 22nd, 2008 4:01 pm ET

you said "no to that bridge to nowhere"...you said "i'm an open book" – can you say troopergate??? you brought a surplus – no you left wasilla in debt. shall i continue...mccain doesn't know how many homes he has, mccain doesn't know about fiorina's golden parachute, totally for deregulation until last week...the economy is fundamentally sound...& last but not least KEATING FIVE!!!!!!

FactCheck   September 22nd, 2008 4:01 pm ET

Obama is spreading lies about his socialistic views,, ask him for the whole story... ask the hows and why... ask him about how he can be pro choice... only if your in line soon enough...

Lovely in VA   September 22nd, 2008 4:01 pm ET

“Friends, in the course of a few weeks, the Obama-Biden Democrats have launched attack after attack on me, my family and John McCain,” Palin writes in the email. “They’re desperate to win and they’ll no doubt launch these attacks against other reformers on our ticket.”

Technically, she's right. There has been attack after attack BECAUSE of lie after lie. But yes, we are 'attacking' and will continue to 'attack' until this damm thing is over. If 'attacking' is calling someone out on nothing but lies then what is the outright lie itself called? It's called 'I ain't got nothin' so let me try to rig this thing.'

Wal-Mart Mom   September 22nd, 2008 4:01 pm ET

CNN and its supporters keep ragging on Sarah Palin but she just keeps on smiling, drawing huge crowds (50,000 on Sunday), and moving ahead. I can see it eating up Keith Olbermann's insides. I can't wait to see Olbermannn's pain on election night.

Sarah Palin 12 & 16'

Travis   September 22nd, 2008 4:00 pm ET

oh please, Palin is a pathological liar. Another example of how un-Christian she really is...

markymark22   September 22nd, 2008 4:00 pm ET

Obama has been all rhetoric and lies since the beginning... a new type of campaigning? no negativity? accepting public funding? btw, Bob: the Democrats control Congress: how about them sharing some blame? Their approval rating is half of the President's. Paul: it's not pathetic when the Democrats play the victim card?

RealK   September 22nd, 2008 4:00 pm ET

Southerner For Obama   September 22nd, 2008 4:00 pm ET

SHE JUST TOLD ANOTHER LIE WHEN SHE SAID THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN WAS LYING ON HER AND MCFORGETFUL

REGISTER TO VOTE AND GO OUT AND VOTE, THE RETHUGS WILL SAY ANYTHING AND DO ANYTHING TO WIN

Ben - Portland, Or   September 22nd, 2008 4:00 pm ET

Hold up, Miss Bridge to Nowhere...

"They're desperate to win and they’ll no doubt launch these attacks against other reformers on our ticket..." I think what you meant to say is "We're desperate to win and we’ll no doubt launch these attacks against other reformers on their ticket."

It's the desperation that got you on the ticket to begin with, Gov. Palin... you're part of the most lie riddled party we've ever had.

David Cox   September 22nd, 2008 4:00 pm ET

I agree, Gov. Palin will make a great vice-president. I thought cafferty got fired?

j.williams, san diego   September 22nd, 2008 4:00 pm ET

No to the community organizer-No to inexperience-No to socialism-NO to OBAMA.

You kidding me?   September 22nd, 2008 4:00 pm ET

What a crock! Don't believe the hype!

Broad street buddy   September 22nd, 2008 4:00 pm ET

Hey Palin, we have facts that account for your lies. If you are going to accuse them of anything bring out the evidence! But you are probably still lying and do not have anything to back up your claim.

Vicki   September 22nd, 2008 4:00 pm ET

Goodness, these current Republicans are SOOOOO good at telling lies and bashing their opponents and then saying their opponents are doing it! Incredible! MORE LIES!

OBAMA/BIDEN ALL THE WAY!!!

Lee   September 22nd, 2008 4:00 pm ET

Governor Palin - Did you return the earmarked money from the bridge to nowhere project when you said "thanks, but not thanks?" Or, did you and your state keep it?

Lying is a game the Republicans are good at as well.

IWASP!-Intelligent Woman Against Sarah Palin   September 22nd, 2008 4:00 pm ET

Why won't you cooperate with the investigation that you said you would on national tv to Charles Gibson?
Why did you say you was against the Bridge when we saw out of your own lips you were?
Why did you charge rape victims for rape kits?
Why did you cut funding for special ed?
There is nothing christian about you lady and you are a disgrace! How you look yourself in the mirror is beyond me.
mccain/palin = pathological liars!

Chuck   September 22nd, 2008 3:59 pm ET

Lies? Bridge to Nowhere? Earmarks? Obama's tax proposal. (He's isn't raising them though Palin says he will.) Troopergate? Budget increases in Alaska? Trip to Iraq?

No doubt some bloggers spread lies on both sides. That's the internet for you....

Obama isn't telling lies about Palin, but she is lying about many issues.

Michael in Houston   September 22nd, 2008 3:59 pm ET

Wow I can't believe she is still trying to play the victim card. Uh, Govener Palin, the reason why Obama has a huge war chest is because there are more people who love him and hate you, more people + more donors = more money. Got it. Now shut your piehole Paliar and quit charging people for things that should be free.

Republican tired of republicans   September 22nd, 2008 3:59 pm ET

OMG!! C'mon Republicans take one for the team"America" and vote Obama/Biden. As a proud Republican we can't allow anymore corrupt liars in the White House. If it was just McCain I would say go for it(maybe), but this woman is a wacko and a danger to conservative and liberal alike. Maybe in 4 years we can get a good republican like Mike Huckabee in the white house.

Kristina, Seattle   September 22nd, 2008 3:59 pm ET

You have to know the TRUTH before you can accuse some one of spreading LIES. With all do respect ..I do not feel confident enough in PALIN to have the knowledge of Economics or World Affairs to be in an OFFENSIVE POSITON. She needs some real EXECUTIVE experience and WORLDLINESS and a REAL EDUCATION with a degree in hard things like Economics, Law, Business, or EVEN and MBA in SOMETHING !!! My liitle brother is more qualified than she and he got a degree in Physical Education....at hard School ...UCLA.

Linguist   September 22nd, 2008 3:58 pm ET

"Governor Sarah Palin accused “Obama-Biden Democrats,” of launching a series of unfair attacks against she and her family in a fundraising email sent to supporters Monday..."

I put little stick in Governor Palin's attacking anyone. She's a standard issue politician.

But can I really put stock in a CNN journalist who writes "against she"?

Wow.

Obama/Biden 100%   September 22nd, 2008 3:58 pm ET

Any objective observer like myself can testify that it's been the Republicans (as usual) who have been spreading lies and garbage about Obama...

You're not getting a dime from me, liar, unless of course you're using it to build a bridge to the moon!

Is this woman totally mentally deficient? She is without a doubt the dumbest VP pick ever.

How about she cooperate with her ethics probe, then when she is done with that she explain why she was made rape victims pay for their own rape kits?

tara   September 22nd, 2008 3:58 pm ET

This woman is a disgrace!!! Keep lying Palin, just keep lying. It just means that Olbermann will have to check writing checks to the Alaska Special Olympics Fund. You know, the one whose funding you helped cut off!!!

alvino   September 22nd, 2008 3:56 pm ET

Sarah, it is the McCain Campaign that consistently has us going to "fact check" to verify that what you and Johnny Boy say are 'misleading'. A true pit bull would not whine like a spoiled high school cheerleader. Grow up, tell the truth, and face the "troopergate" mess you created.

Thank you

SNL does not need Tina Faye, Palin is the real comic. all of their LIES, their arrogance, their stupidity...they want to blame Obama?that is rich. Palin is under investigation, McCain has not voted since April. May be for the sake of late night talk shows these two should be in office

Palin needs to look in the mirrow and open her big trap and say AWHH – that is where she will find all the LIES coming from.

The nerve of this dog woman – talk about bad – Palin's got a piece of McCain's cake, that's for sure.

Greg, NY   September 22nd, 2008 3:55 pm ET

Is she out of her mind? Both sides are lying, but one side is blatantly lying a lot more than the other and that would be McCain/Palin.

Not to mention that it doesn't say anywhere in there what lies she is talking about. It's just a false and hypocritical claim.

Palin has more experience than Obama   September 22nd, 2008 3:55 pm ET

The lies are due to Obama be very worried. Palin has more experience than Obama. He was Sen. Obama for only 150 days before he started running for the white house. It makes me laugh when libs bring up that Palin has little experience when Obama has NONE! LOL

Not4MoreYears   September 22nd, 2008 3:55 pm ET

Brandon in Indiana   September 22nd, 2008 3:55 pm ET

McCain/Palin have published more negative ads at Obama/Biden that recieved.

And non-partisan fact check sites heavily favor Obama compared to McCain in being less misleading in ads.

So where is her argument coming from, and where does hypocrisy start?

Not a fan of the 'Cuda   September 22nd, 2008 3:55 pm ET

Again, smear talk from the mudslingers. This "Obama-Biden Democrat" thing is just ludicrous. As far as I can tell, this is their fig leaf excuse for attributing any nutjob's ramblings on the Internet to the Obama campaign.

If that's so, then by their logic the "McCain-Palin Republicans" have been labeling Obama a baby-killer, Marxist, Communist, Felon, Muslim, Terrorist, Hamas supporter, illegitimate, sexist, racist and a myriad of other lies. This is just pathetic, people.

Gerald in Georgia   September 22nd, 2008 3:55 pm ET

Cam   September 22nd, 2008 3:55 pm ET

Wow, please someone call them out on this.......I mean, she is the biggest liar going.

And last I checked, Obama and Biden have never said a word about her family.......

Talk about doing anything to win......I mean, could McCain and Palin be bigger whiners? It's all Obama and the media in their minds. Why doesn't someone ask her why she supports her husband and aides breaking the law? Why doesn't someone question her on all her lies?

I hope the Obama camp swiftly responds to this.

tired of delusional blind sheep   September 22nd, 2008 3:55 pm ET

so.. should we now believe her after all of the lies she has told, that have been proven by factcheck.org

she really is a stupid person sticking to a stupid GOP gameplan...

MD, TX   September 22nd, 2008 3:54 pm ET

The Obama/Biden campaign was founded on The Big Lie. They can do nothing else.

Matthew, Houston, TX   September 22nd, 2008 3:54 pm ET

A clear case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Truthfully, both sides have not been totally honest in their criticisms of the other but the McCain campaign has been the most blatant and dishonest about themselves and Obama. Just take a look at factcheck.org and politifact.com, don't take my word for it.

Do I hear you whinning? Remember the old saying "turn about is fair play". Your own campaign is guilty of doing the very thing you are crying about right now. Get over it.

Ryan   September 22nd, 2008 3:54 pm ET

Ummmm, what did it say?

Is it really news worthy to say one candidate said the other is lieing without showing what was said?

I keep hearing that her family is getting attacked, yet I have never seen or heard an attack from the ticket.....show us the evidence and we'll decide!!!

james   September 22nd, 2008 3:54 pm ET

what are the lies about Palin's family?

Abby   September 22nd, 2008 3:54 pm ET

You’ve got the market cornered on lies, lady.

Grog in Ohio   September 22nd, 2008 3:54 pm ET

hmmm... I guess pointing out that Palin has lied over and over about her "Thanks but no thanks" on the Bridge to Nowhere has kinda ticked her off. So the people that point out her lies must be the liars.

Oh well... Makes sense if you're a Republican.

120 days till the end of the Bush administration.

The only person that has been lying consistently is Palin and McCain. I can only hope that after November 4th she will go back to the Bridge to Nowhere and we will never hear from her again!

Lipstick on a pot or a kettle. You choose. Ooops! Was that sexist?

Ari   September 22nd, 2008 3:53 pm ET

I think that this is the pot calling the kettle black. Its ok for them to lie blatantly and then deny that they are lying, but its not ok for others to do it. I guess that this just shows the double standard in the republican party.
