ABC Palin Interview Fact Check Part One 9-13-08

[RadarKat73080]

I can see Palin's stupidity from my house!

[Embrigh]

What the fuck, does she even realize she is being questioned?

[spavlic]

Werd! Love Keith Olbermann!

[droneat01]

I 19-F-hottie here. I'm just saying that girls LOVE this vid. b

[deliousluna]

My recommendation? Go back to Alaska, and let us never hear from Sarah Palin again.....

She speaks in tongues - forked ones that is

Liar, liar, her skirt's on fire Calling sarah palin a tool is an absolute insult to tools.

[0lord0kinbote0]

I'm shocked that right-wing extremists are still being chosen by the republican elite. Haven't they realized they need new puppets?

[lstl5]

Now she is out on the stump following the campaign advisors orders to bad mouth Obama. When this is over, she will be sent back to Alaska with her head hanging, and hopefully her supporters will take a really good look at her and vote her out of office.

[runningfrog43]

omg, her responses are brain numbing...

[bigdawg41488]

keith olbermann is the shit he knows what hes talking about and is not afraid to speek his mine

[SwaggerE]

"i can see russia from my house!"-hahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahaha

[1ofHis4evr]

Ally or Alle Keith??!?? haha its funny when people are busy making fun or others, they dont realize it could also come right back at them.

[NoAbomination]

It is not that she did not get it when asked about Bush doctrine, it is that it was a broad question and she was not going to let charlie cocksucker trip her up. Smart lady!

[leftyking500]

@NoAbomination

any 1st year History & Politics or International Relations student knows what the Bush Doctrine is, it's not rocket science..lol.. Palin is the Governor of Alaska who claims to have Foreign Policy experience, it was NOT a trick question, she should've known what it was.

[1ONYX]

Dame!!! I'm a Obama supporter & I'm embarrassed for her. This is humiliating!! She's in a gun fight with a water gun.

[DoctorDoubleX]

[ZeMoreno]

I personally believe, that under the leadership of Ahmadinejad, that U.S. Americans,are unable to do so, because uh, some, people out there, in our nation dont have maps. and uhI believe that our education like such as in South Africa, and the Iraq, everywhere like such as and, I believe they should uh, our education over here,in the U.S. should help the U.S. or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future, for us.

[Celiaka]

Has anyone seen that strange animation with the trixy unicorns? All the Charlies reminds me of it.

[kazuyakaz]

well thats probably b/c ur a goddamn racist redneck gorilla

[Maximuslnfidelis]

Ill vote for a Goddamn monkey before I vote for Obama, Im sorry but Obama must not be president.

[ZeMoreno]

The 30% has spoken.

[JesusSatanAllah]

What is up with the slowness of Youtube videos these days? Come on Youtube. FIX THIS PROBLEM.

[doghamfartbone]

The cow is going down.

[tribidemp]

Ugh, and I was hoping at the very least once Bush was out of office that I wouldnt have to hear someone, in such a position of importance, mispronounce words that are taught in the eighth grade. This makes my head hurt.

It is nuclear for Petes sake. The word is spelled N-U-C-L-E-A-R, and it is derived from the word nucleus, not nuculus.

[sherrybach]

tribidemp is it really necessary to say that republicans are into s&m? Just because she was voted the hottest governor does not mean that she is the most trashy, but you on the other hand...

You could try writing an intelligent comment instead of hurling 6th grade insults. By the way, I am not republican, I'm an Alaskan, that is why I watch the blurbs of news about my own governor. If she takes office we get a new governor. And yes, I like her, she has done great things for this state.

[tribidemp]

tribidemp is it really necessary to say that republicans are into s&m?

Is it too much to expect that people like you have already developed a sense of humor? I suppose it is.

Just because she was voted the hottest governor does not mean that she is the most trashy

Her party affiliation has more to do with my opinion of her personal life. And being hottest governor isnt saying a whole lot frankly. That is like being the smartest retard.

[sherrybach]

I have a sense of humor when things are funny. Let me get this straight, you want to talk about s&m, yet if I bring up a real fact about her being elected being the hottest governor, this has nothing to do with your dirogitory comment?

The smartest retard comment though, now that was funny. I'll give you that one, it made me smile.

More smartest retard comments, less s&m

funny is funny

[tribidemp]

You could try writing an intelligent comment instead of hurling 6th grade insults.

I have used up all of my intelligent comment for the night (typically for christians and creationists), and I am now in my reserve of smart ass comments.

By the way, I am not republican,

By the way, I couldnt care less.

she has done great things for this state.

Im sure if my governor brought all of that bridge to nowhere money to my state, Id like her too.

[Pekabooicu]

I'm a janitor, i know the bush doctrine, give me a break sarah palin

[efeez1986]

LOLOLOL!!! I'm only 22 years old and i just started studying politics a year ago and i knew what the Bush doctrine was.

[Pekabooicu]

the National Security Strategy of the United States, published on September 20, 2002.[15] This document is often cited as the definitive statement of the doctrine.[16][17][18] It was updated in 2006 and is stated as follows: [19]"It is an enduring American principle that this duty obligates the government to anticipate and counter threats, using all elements of national power, before the threats can do grave damage."

[chetmalek]

How can Keith Olberman be involved with anything entitled "Fact Check"? He is the most dishonest, intelellectually dishonest "reporter" in the history of the country. His smug attitude gets old very fast!

[tribidemp]

Then dont watch. See problem taken care of.

[rlove123]

Palin is an effective governor with an 80% approval rating.

Oberman is a schmuck who has been recently demoted.

[efeez1986]

Oh please, open your eyes and stop being so easily brainwashed. Fuck the right and the left bullshit, this woman IS NOT ready to be the vice president.

[sophiemarie49]

Yikes! Sarah Palin is obviously not ready to be vice-president, a step away from being president. Her lack of knowledge, as evidenced here and her stated extremist views on teaching creationism, wanting to make all abortions illegal even those due to rape or incest and her history of dismissing qualified and hard-working employees who don't agree with her on controversial issues are all reasons to not vote for her. And to not vote for McCain who had other more qualified female choices to pick.

[13otany13ay]

Sara Palin is a loose nuke. I hope the american voters do a pre-emptive strike against her with their vote, before the challenge comes in form of a nuclear mushroom cloud.

[happy84k]

Keith rocks!

[theinquisitor]

You know who else pronounced nuclear that way? Edward Teller, the father of the hydrogen bomb (according to the Professor of physics Richard Muller). So it always makes me laugh when people talk about it like it's a badge of ignorance.

With all the total shit this woman is spewing, why does the way she prounces a word even get mentioned?

[thecactusjanice]

I agree. We need to stop nitpicking small details like how politicians pronounce words and focus on more substantive issues -- like the fact that this woman knows NOTHING about foreign policy.

[Lansky54]

Jimmy Carter was another "nukyaler" guy, in spite of his advanced degrees' in nukyaler science.

[rypro525]

Olbermann is the man!

[LizzyxDarcy]

He is a liar and a dirtbag. He twists the truth.

Has he ever taken Obama's words apart ? You know the answer already.

The media hates the right and kisses the ass of the left.

[wildwilly1111]

LizzyxDarcy: "The media hates the right and kisses the ass of the left. "

Yes, I'm sure that's way the USE media fairly lit up with the post-Georgia-dust-up exclusive CNN interview with Putin.

[Nasauame]

this is scary

[Quin7475]

How the hell are we supposed to rebuild our old alliances when she is so willing to threaten war?

The question was, "What insight into Russian actions does the proximity of the state give you?" Her answer? "It's close to us. You can see it from Alaska." Did she not get the question at all or did she not want to admit that she has zero insight into Russia's actions? Do Russians hate our freedom too?

[DJElian]

Keep up the good work Olbermann

[gnomerroamer]

And yeah, they are going to bury her for weeks until they dramatically release her from a secret military bunker two miles beneath ANWR. With lobotomy eyes and and an emotionless gaze, she'll robotically answer every question with vacuous conservative talking points, until someone finds the cord leading from the back of her neck, following it behind the curtain where it plugs into a port on Karl Rove's computer as he types away his script for the next four years. I can't wait.

[tribidemp]

I would hope that republicans are advanced enough to use a wireless mode of information transfer, despite their dislike of science.

[gnomerroamer]

Even for an insular, far right christian republican, she is totally inept. Crash and burn guys. The knowing and willful ignorance is astounding, even for such an extremist. I seriously do not doubt she's a nice person, but holy hell. Lawyers take the BAR. Doctors take similar tests. By that social standard, a vice president ought to have about three PhD's and a huge resume. But her??? Is this a joke? And they have the nerve to wave that media bias BS? She getting it so effin easy!!!

[katshores]

Memo to Sarah neophyte:

You need to think twice before saber rattling with our nation's global thermal ICBM arsenal. Russia is not Iraq, or Iran, or North Korea. If we war with Russia all of humanity and all of human civilization will lose. You should consider that before you non chalantly threaten war with a former superpower. Stop your foolish and empty bravado. It could someday, literally, get billions of humans killed. And you SHOULD blink before going down that road.

[TheBlackNinjaMan]

Palin is a total republican tool !

[swankrecords]

Failin' Palin.

[sherrybach]

keith olberman doesn't deserve my listening ears.

[JulietsMan]

because the obviousness of the truth hurt your ears.

[tribidemp]

And yet you feel compelled to watch despite this fact. That only verifies my notion that republicans really do enjoy paying for humiliation and S&M style fornication.

[tonyschmoeredux]

have a nice day . LOL

[tonyschmoeredux]

Palin's vague description of what "bush doctrine" could mean is closer to accurate than was Charlie's.

[JulietsMan]

no it wasnt. she didnt even approximate it. wrong wrong wrong.

[baronmorris]

HARRIET MYERS would make a better VP than Palin.

[baronmorris]

OBAMA/BIDEN 08! & WE CAN'T WAIT!!

[coldsteelgamefarm]

this woman is wanting to be one heartbeat from president if you vote for this ticket your crazy,im a demo. and i really like john mc cain but after this i showed me hes not a smart man!

[tonyschmoeredux]

Keith wasn't factual, only attitudinal

[baronmorris]

wrong. he was both. refute a single one of his points. you can't. Palin is a frightening candidate.

[tonyschmoeredux]

she did not lie about the bridge.

she is correct that bush doctrine is his world view. charlie's statement that anticipatory defense is bush doctrine is historically inaccurate because it has always been american policy but never been about "thinking" a country will attack us.

[tonyschmoeredux]

and "frightening" is attitudinal not factual.

[tonyschmoeredux]

frightening might be applied to a presidential candidate who never faced a real race which is the case in Obama's Illinois, and one who began his political career with a fundraiser at the home of a terrorist, as Obama did.

[baronmorris]

Chicago 2.8 Million

Alaska 633 Thousand

and fuck you with that Ayers crap. go play in traffic. blindfolded. call it charity or public service.

[baronmorris]

"attitudinal" and "factual" are not always mutually exclusive. For instance, it is FACTUAL that a great many people have the ATTITUDE (opinion/emotion/etc) that Palin is a frighteningly incompetent choice for VP (who would likely become President when John McCain likely dies in office, were these two cretins to get elected). What flavor ice cream do you like best? Attitude AND fact.

It is most definitely a FACT that she is woefully unprepared.

Ever heard of Venn diagrams? sometimes they overlap.

[tonyschmoeredux]

As an emotionalist, you are led by your feelings. You are indifferent to fact.

Should I stipulate that Palin's level of preparedness is inadequate it would logically have to follow that Obama is less prepared.

And there is still William Ayers.

[baronmorris]

Ha! Wrong, again. Kind of a habit with you, eh?

Myers-Briggs Personality Type: INTP

I majored in philosophy. Have you read Wittgenstein, Aristotle, Nietzsche, Kant, Plato, Deleuze and Guattari? No?

then stfu, mental peasant.

thought and feeling are also not mutually exclusive categories, you mental midget. it's a feedback system. Urs is broken.

Get well soon.

[baronmorris]

She lied about the bridge.

She was GUESSING about the Bush Doctrine. Just bc u don't know what it is either doesn't make it forgivable that she doesn't.

Pre-emptive warfare has not "always" been American policy. Open a book. or google "the Bush Doctrine"

who's drinking the koolaid now?

I get that many people (who for some reason don't like Obama) were excited about the Palin pick, but eventually reality must sink in. She wouldn't even make the list of the top 500 Republican possibles for VP.

[tonyschmoeredux]

PreEmptive Warfare finds an example in the

Clinton administration, Gen WesClarke explained the US senate that Kosovo was a war to pre-empt a humanitarian crisis. Bush has brought nothing new with pre-emption. so with that alone YOU ARE FACTUALLY INACCURATE---note i didnt say u r lying. US history is rife with other examples.

As you mature you may learn to appreciate the value of fact versus emotionality.

She did not lie but changed her position on th bridge. her reasons just dont please u.

[jsoutine]

But she said she was never for the bridge, not that she changed her mind. How can you not see the lie? And Kosovo was already at war, the U.S. never invaded Kosovo. Get your facts straight first please. The U.S. INVADED Iraq. Officially because of nonexistent WMD's. Even after being told by the U.N. that there were no WMD's. Unofficially of course, it's a whole other story.

[JulietsMan]

scrotum head.

[wildwilly1111]

tonyschmoeredux: did not lie...bridge

Lie: In the context of standing up to the special interests, the lobbyists, big oil companies, and the good-ol' boys network,, Palin said I told the Congress thanks, but no thanks, for that Bridge to Nowhere.

Truth: She only gave it up after the country jeered and Congress removed it as a specific earmark but still kept the cash (when the objective was to free it for Katrina relief), partly to build the $48M road to the bridge to nowhere.

[tribidemp]

Republicans dont seem to appreciate the facts.

[WizardessAlyssa]

haha, he can be a bit of a cunt. But he calls these people on their bullshit when few other journalists if any do. I gotta love anyone who can tear Palin a new one without being afraid of being called a sexist :)

[tonyschmoeredux]

Keith Oberman is a cunt, with all due respect.

[MarcusVorenus]

yeah, wtf, how dare someone fact check and criticize a republican for lying through their teeth, we should all just shut up and take our medicine...

[JulietsMan]

no hes not.

[wildwilly1111]

tonyschmoeredux: "Keith Oberman is a cunt, with all due respect. "

Let me guess... Creationism Biology class, right?

[Webby1788]

hahaah well said.

[Yank60]

wildwilly let me guess  spacedaddy believer?
