CNN Palin Caught Lying Over Bridge and E-Bay Plane Sale

[buster4236]

Normally you do sell an item that's listed on Ebay to a private buyer. Does Government entities buy items on Ebay? Not!!!! Ebay lists many items that are sold to private buyers. I believe that is the original intention of Ebay. Dumb CNN Newscasters broadcast dumb stories.

[Bobsunckle1]

So the media got this one wrong, she didn't lie here, it was John McCain who lied (though probably due to "Chinese whispers") unfortunately, she doesn't need the media's help.. look at any interview with her in it.. she doesn't know who Iraq and Iran are, has no idea who the founding fathers are.. while an average citizen might be called simply ignorant she was running for VP!! Also the special needs lie was deplorable, alongside her bridge/no bridge appeal.. where DID the money go I wonder...?

[bluegsp]

I heard Sara say she "put it on Ebay" she did put it on Ebay. It was McCain who said she sold it on Ebay for a profit. Why put that error on her? What she said was correct. The only liars here are Cambell Brown. This is typical of the corrupt liberal media. This is sickening.

[8bloc]

She said she PUT it on ebay....she didn't say she SOLD it on ebay. Nonetheless, she got rid of it. I hate CNN

[Twonder1000]

its the medias fault for making her look stupid. i guess when someone disagrees these days they ruin your overall rep. and i am glad she sold that jet. its a whole bunch a crap we dont need. I LOVEEE SARAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mokana97]

Who cares???

[Stingerbillion]

What's so funny is how she blames the media for her stupidity. Love it! (Stupid bitch!)

[icemachine79]

We really dodged a bullet back in 2008. The stress of the presidency would've probably given McCain a heart attack by now putting Palin in charge and she would have us in the middle of a civil war because she'd gotten the country of Georgia mixed up with the state.

[4u2b1ib12]

Bay Buchanan is a Republican strategist. Why am I not surprised. When congress pulled the plug on the Bridge to Nowhere, Gov. Palin changed her tune. Paul Begala is puppy-loving Gov. Palin. The special needs point is farce. Gov. Palin cut funding for special needs in her state. The pledge she made is based on her being elected V.P. Gov. Palins' pro-life agenda is what is important to her. Gov. Palin is not dumb nor stupid. She will not read. She is skipping her way to the top.

[ElCabronnn]

omg... i dont support them but who the fuck cares... this is why cnn and media are shit. who cares dude, this has nothing to do with where the country is going.. jesus christ

[djendick]

Bay Buchanan is an imbecile.

[CFCID]

cambell brown is so sexy

[mikeyfamine]

its called a joke

[viokool]

AGAIN...Mccain said(and he did) she sold it and "she made a profit", Palin failed to correct it making it seem that it was true that she did. Mccain repeated it, Palin NEVER corrected him and knowing it wasn't true. Did she want to impress America? Why didn't she say it never sold in the first place? I can put my car on ebay, will that impress you? Just like the bridge to nowhere story. Happened even BEFORE she became governor,but heck, why not take the credit and run with it!

[mikeyfamine]

im glad to see that people hate a woman bc she didnt turn a profit on selling a jet. nevermind the fact that she sold it.

[cvalley13]

No,no, its the fact that she said she sold it for a profit on ebay, and she did not. No one would be pissed if she had just told the truth.

[Blank3]

Lol Bay made Campbell look stupid

[Blank3]

Begala lied. That special needs was a false rumor. LMAO at "I'm sure you will!"

[SEEPRICE]

an not all governors take their kids on trips out of state. why would the kids need to go to NY or PA to represent AL as the first family. or stay in a $350 a night hotel. if the family was invited to an event, I have no problem with that, but if she requested to bring the family or just showed up with them that is a problem. I dont have much of a prob with even that as long as it is in Alaska. taxpayers cant take their kids on company trips and have that company pay for it, so why can she?

[Blank3]

Governors are allowed to have their kids travel, if that's the issue you have, it's an issue you should have about virtually every other governor as well. She has an 80% approval rating because Alaskans love what she's done with their state.

[viokool]

go to the facts check....she lied. there was no sale on E-bay, alaskan gov sold it to an aviation company. check YOUR facts first. she NEVER sold it...it wasn't even her that sold it.

[Blank3]

She didn't say she sold it on e-bay, she said she put it up on e-bay, and she did.

[viokool]

yes she did. she stated it many times during her campaigns, even mccain stated it too.

[Blank3]

Where did she say she SOLD it? I've only heard her say she put it up on ebay (which she did).

[SEEPRICE]

then what would be her point of saying she put it on ebay? you are correct, she did not say it sold on ebay, she insinuated that it sold on ebay. that is what my mother would call a half truth.

she didnt think the citizens should have to pay for the jet, put she apparantly thinks the citizens should pay over $21,000 for her kids to travel around with her and pay several hundred a night for her kids to stay at luxury hotels on the east coast.

[Blank3]

It's not a half truth because what she said was 100% truthful. She put every attempt in trying to sell it on ebay but nobody wanted it. There's no controversy. Who cares.

The citizens paying for kids travel is standard for virtually every governor. It's nothing new.

[SEEPRICE]

if a wife said "i never had sex with another man," but she did have sex with a woman do you consider that cheating? therefore yes the wife told the truth she just didnt tell the WHOLE truth. that is what Palin did.

like i said, she insinuated that the plane was sold on ebay. i dont think america cares how she sold it or that she sold it at a loss. we care that she attempted to make us believe she sold it on ebay when i fact she did not. it shows dishonesty. Mcain prolly didnt know.

[Blank3]

Your analogy would only be valid if Palin's selling of the plane offline was a bad thing. It wasn't bad. It saved the state money and that's the point she was making.

[SEEPRICE]

i dont mind that she sold the plane. in fact, i think it was a good idea.i am saying that she didnt tell the whole story of how the plane was sold. had she done that then i dont even care that she sold it as a loss. therfore my analogy is correct.

how about this one. if a husband says "I put the car on ebay." and the wife knows that the car was sold. she would assume the car sold on ebay. but fact is he sold it to his ex girlfriend. the wife is non the wiser, but she dont know he sees his ex.

[Blank3]

Lol, that's not a good analogy at all. The wife wouldn't be upset because the car wasn't sold on ebay, she'd be upset she sold it to the ex-girlfriend. I don't see what the problem is at all. It made her RNC speech very smooth. "That jet was too much...I put it on ebay. (laughter from the audience)" What, should she have said, "That jet was too much...I put it on ebay, it didn't sell so I sold it to somebody else." It doesn't make sene.

[SEEPRICE]

no my friend. she should have simply said. "I said i was going to sell the plane to save tax payers money, and I did."

[Blank3]

That's ridiculous, especially since it wasn't a big deal at all.

Look at what the video's labelled. "Palin caught lying," she didn't lie.

[SEEPRICE]

why is that ridiculous? that is the truth. it sounds like you are saying because it isnt a big deal, it's ok not to be forthcoming, that shows lack of integrity. that is the same kind of thing Prez bush did with the WMD issue that was then changed to Iraqi freedom. he didnt give congress All the information

[Blank3]

To compare Palin's ebay claim to Bush's claim of WMD is ridiculous.

[viokool]

mccain said she did and "she made a profit", she failed to correct it making it seem that it was true that she did. anyways, it's old news...all I can say is "thanks, but no thanks" and she's becoming a wary subject.

[Woopee]

Oh that's who i bought it from!

[cxpage]

On Ebay....off Ebay.

Profit....loss!

Whay is everyone so worried about the details?

[yes4me]

Because she is lying like... a politician. yet she pretends to be an outsider of Washington. I agree it is just a small detail of her career at that time. However lots of details can turn into a big one... and it did.

[mattm615]

oh and she can see russia from her house sammy boy dont forget that

[mattm615]

i wish to have sex with campell brown,...... buchannan not so much

[katel88]

This is not that big of a deal, not nearly as bad as the other lies told by mccain/palin

[samcger]

So this is the worst you can find on Sarah? Bottom line is: she sold her plane - it was on eBay...she ultimately rejected the bridge. You don't know anything about what those Alaskans needed so don't pretend to know what's going on. Google a few Obama videos, and I'll show you a moron.

[trublueone]

Palyin' is an unethical person, according to the Alaska Legistlature. She lied about Alaska Independence party, the party that wants to succeed from the United States. Her hubby was a member of that fringe party for 7 years!!

[Chin9y8302]

She sells a freakin plane and saves the state money? Shit don't make sense...So she gets money for it. Um...What's the point of selling the plane? Why's that even brought up?

[supertamsf]

When asked about the pledge of allegiance Sarah Palin responded; " If it was good enough for the founding fathers, it's good enough for me!"

Sweet Jesus.....is there NO limit to this woman's STUPIDITY?

[supertamsf]

Palin is as dumb as a box of hair.

[pieinsky]

didn't Obwan say, Truth is from a point of view?

anyhow, she sold the plane..right? what's the big deal?

[chuckwaters]

I just saw Angela Marie Buchanan on Larry King and she made two very disturbing comments.

First - Many African-Americans are proud of Obama and his potential historical run at the office and the idea that McCain should pander to them is ridiculous.

Second - Senator Obama has done nothing to change anything with the career that was 'given' to him.

Folks, this is a McCain supporter that is constantly on CNN speaking in support of McCain.

[whoneedspoliticians]

Palin "put it on eBay" because she has her own private plane (even showing it off during her ABC interview) - and further Palin charges back use and pilot pay back to her state. She just reallocates state funds back into her own pocket. "Fired the chef" and charged thousands back for per diems at her onw house. "Bay" Buchanan is such a hideous creature - spewing McCain Campaign talking points. Now she's wearing Palin glasses too. "Bay" Buchanan is the epitome of lipstick on a pig!

[dvdcnl]

The Piper Cub is her husband's plane. There are lots of places in Alaska that a jet can't land at. She flies commercial and saves the state a lot of money by not having the jet.

[zocurtis]

Every time USA economy begins to falter, a Repubican is President!

Americans Vote for Barack Obama EUROPE SUPPORT YOU!!!

[stew4lunch]

zo

You can't vote for Obie. We couldn't vote for Ingraham, but nobody cares. Ever consider the pathology of your politics by proxy? Milton Friedman you ain't. What of of lag and dependent variables? The majority of your list came from exogenous shocks such as the oil embargo--how'd those clever Republicans do that? Interestingly, you left out Jimmeh, the real stagflator with inflation at 18% +, T-Bills at 14%, Americans believing they would never take a vacation again. Oh yeah, the "malaise."

[stew4lunch]

Eason Jordan, CNN's chief news executive admitted that for 10 years CNN covered up stories of Sadam Hussein's atrocities. Reports of murder, torture, and assassinations were suppressed in order to keep CNN's Baghdad bureau.

Sarah Palin made a joke about the sale of an airplane. The joke was also the truth. CNN used it's air time to tell us the ebay sale didn't go through and the plane was sold through other channels.

[edwardjames81]

McCain said they gain from it! Just be truthfull and there would be no problem! You think Cnn should have let her just slide with that LIE HUH? SORRY!! THE MUST STOP LIEYING PERIOD!!

[stew4lunch]

A CNN reporter this week didnt seem to know or care that a fake photo showing a bikini-clad, rifle-toting Sarah Palin had been widely debunked days earlier as a fraud, the

latest in a series of incidents involving apparent misstatements or inaccurate reporting by CNN. The doctored photograph put Sarah Palin's head on the body of a 23-year-old woman photographed outside Athens, Ga.

[MefuneAkira]

She told the truth, but used the example to boost her "for the people" self promotion, when the truth is she sold it for much less than it was worth and lost tax payer money.

McCain, im sure with all those staffers and all those millions was told about the news reports that the plane was not sold on ebay and lied anyway to sell his VP gimic.

Obama '08 No lies, just issues.

[bradpittfan1]

mccain is hurrican Lie category 5

[hypnotstcollector]

"These sorts of stories dont work".....Yes they do. In fact realy big lies work. Like 911. Many people still believe the WTC fell on its own. THat wing tips melt into blds. Realy big lies work. This is tiny

[ruttie1127]

Palin said she put the plane on ebay,she didn't say she sold it, McCain needs to get his story straight. Campbell Brown has a total bug up her ass for Palin. She is scorned by the McCain camp canceling Larry King, because she pounded the camp over Palin. I am so sick of CNN being Obama BIAS, they need to combine with MSNBC, pretty soon their ratings will be the same as theirs.Campbell Brown needs to take a long vacation.

[MrHappyPants6000]

Obama has CNN, McCain has Jesus Christ. Seems fair.

[givebirthathome]

Status quo? There is no status quo now. Russians are moving into bases in Venezuela.

Eroded to some degree?? You haven't been paying enough attention. If people get more scared, laws like the Military Commissions Act will be used to their fullest extent--anyone can be declared an enemy @ the President's sole discretion, and jailed without trial.

No more GHD starts with you. We only get one Prez. You have a right and responsibility to choose. Support O, UNEQUIVOCALLY.

[givebirthathome]

Its not true that the Congress can control the President--it should be true, but it isn't, and the last 8 years have proved that.

The erosion of checks and balances means its important that we elect Obama, who as commander-in-chief has great ability to help us keep the peace. There are also a host of regulatory agencies and attorneys, appointed by the president without being confirmed--they can either have competent personnel, or ideologues.

Support Obama

[givebirthathome]

Here's an example. If Christine Todd Whitman, the no-science-background, partisan political pick of the Bush administration (and far, far from the worst of them), hadn't lied/spread misinformation about the bad air quality in Manhattan after 9-11, thousands and thousands of people would have had less toxic exposure.

It was too late to do anything about the first-responders, but alot of other people's exposures could have been minimized.

[duque501]

She sold it on Ebay, and she stop the bridge to nowhere. She admits when she was wrong, not like Obama who has more than 15 flipflops and say that those are not flip flops, it is just that we dont listen.

[trktrt]

Seriously, can we find someone other than tired old Bay to give her opinion on CNN?

[trktrt]

Hey John and Sarah, judgment cometh, God sends liars to the lake of fire as a result of your earthly acts. Revelations 21:8 "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderer's, and whore mongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."

[supertamsf]

Why doesn't Palin sell Cindy McCain's jet on Ebay?..

...or one of their 8 homes?

.. or Cindy McCains' $300,000 outfit she wore at the RNC?

[dvdcnl]

because palin doesn't have the authority to sell them like she had the authority to see the Alaskan jet...that's why. Actually I've read that she put it on ebay 3 times but it didn't get the minimum bid. She never said she sold it on ebay..it was always "I put it on ebay". She told the truth as far as she went. Haven't you ever done that?

[supertamsf]

dvdcln - My words - "Why doesn't she sell Cindy McCain's private jet and $300,000 outfit on Ebay?"

Um, yeeeah, um....I wasn't REALLY asking a question. You get that right?

[MalikThaKing]

isnt it hilarios how the republican supporters are so comfortable supporting someone who just outright lies and then does not answer questions about her lies? McCain was lead into picking her by rove for the reasons you see before you and her oil company connections that spill over onto her husband, little does he know he is slowly becoming the republican he claimed to be against. THe majority of americans are too blind to see what is in all actuality, a distraction.

[trktrt]

Malik It truly is amazing that these republicans and their idiot supporters have a double sided response to fact and fiction.

[Stingerbillion]

@MalikThaKing I agree with you.

[brianhof75]

CNN=Communist News Network

[rakrobn]

Conservatives have no liking for the truth.

[trktrt]

FOX=Forever Over Xaggerrating

[duque501]

Totally agree on that.

They can not say a bad thing against Palin, yes she sold the airplain on Ebay, and yes she turn down the offer for the bridge to nowhere, and yes she diminished the ear marks, she did cause she took time in doing so cause she was learning and acquiring experience as a governor of Alaska. Not like the one who wants to learn after he is elected, and we are again comparing him with a VP.

[AhTrini4U]

"Sarah Palin is proving to be the Mayor of Liarsville and Governor of the State of Deception."

[givebirthathome]

Why don't they just investigate and report the news? I'm sick to death of having to hear these bogus and uninformative attack-discussions from the euphemistically-termed "strategists" who have deserve no credibility or airtime whatsoever.

[trktrt]

Givebirthathome.... investigating and reporting the news is exactly what they are doing. I'm glad they are so you and I don't have to be suckered in by their lies.

[givebirthathome]

Not talking about Campbell, I'm talking about the ridiculous commentators that followed.

[jwul004]

PUT THE BOOT IN CNN!!!! She'll only get coffee and cupcakes from Fox News.

[greenwalk7313]

Plain and simple, Sarah is a LIAR

[luvpolitics]

not only is sarah palin a liar but a tremendous one at that..

[jmoneyboy08]

That plane was to transport those damn prisoners

[usamericanz]

LMAO....the desperation on the part of the liberal MSM is approaching hysterical. Palin did NOT support the bridge once the costs were known, and killed it just as she said - no lie there. Sorry, Cambpbell. The jet was PUT on ebay, exactly as she said - it was SOLD, exactly as she said....no lie whatsoever, sorry Campbell. The one thing that is obvious is the deseperation on the part of libs who have been reading the positive polls about Palin and the momentum for McCain.

[supertamsf]

usamericanz - WRONG PT.1 the BRIDGE

While running for governor Palin backed federal funding for the bridge "The window is now, while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist," Anchorage Daily News Oct. 2006

Only when Ted Stevens came under indictment and the bridge became the poster child for uncontrolled, excessive federal spending did Palin put the project on hold. She still, however, KEPT THE MONEY. Which makes her "Thanks, but no thanks" line sickening bullshit.

[usamericanz]

wrong again, sup - Palin supported linking Ketchikan to Gravina Island if it was possible to do it in a cost-effective manner. When she saw what the cost of the bridge was going to be, and realized how expensive it would be, she killed the project, just as she said. And she didn't keep the earmarks - they were CANCELLED, remember? You are LYING again. She did keep the regularly scheduled highway and infrastructure funds - as all governors do - but those funds were NOT EARMARKS.

[supertamsf]

usamericanz - WRONG PT. 2 the PLANE

Palin deceptively hyped the Ebay story for impact. McCain then morphed it into full-on fiction. McCain @:45 "She took the luxury jet and SOLD it on Ebay...at a PROFIT" Either he is unable to get the facts straight OR he deliberately lied.

Quit parsing words to defend them. McCain & Palin use fraudulent stories as pathetic attempt to distract the country from the fact that they have no solutions to the enormous, serious problems this country faces.

[usamericanz]

supertamsf - LIAR. She did no such thing, and there was nothing deceptive about it, since her point was that she PROMISED TO SELL THE PLANE...and she did. You can stop LYING about it now. Yes, McCain repeated the story incorrectly. Bad McCain, Bad! And big fucking deal...the point that SAILED over your head was SHE SOLD THE PLANE.

What part of "SHE SOLD THE PLANE" do you NOT understand?

[supertamsf]

americanz - What part about Palin deceptively hyping the story and McCain blatantly misrepresented it do you not understand? Screaming "LIAR!" like a immature child doesn't change that.

Republicans use silly erroneous folk tales about Ebay and bridges to divorce themselves from the abysmal mess they have created. 7,000 homes are lost to foreclosure EVERYDAY and yet you still defend these criminals? May that be a consolation when the repo man comes for yours and Palin puts it up on Ebay.

[cdeezfoo]

haha! (dude from bart)

[Flackrum]

Former Gov. Frank Murkowski (a Republican) Purchased the plane, and it was excessive. But it's helpful to consider the state. Planes are VERY normal in Alaska (even among regular residents) because of the harsh winters and inability to travel by automobile to many areas within the state.

Could the previous Governor have used something cheaper? Absolutely. But it's not quite as bad as it's being portrayed.

[givebirthathome]

Thankyou for your reasonable perspective.

You're right, the plane thing is trivial next to the fact that what America really needs is Obama's peaceful intentions and intelligent comprehension of a very complex planet, not McCain's Presidentially irrelevant military experience; O's tax cuts for the middle-class, not M's for the Oil Co's record profits; O's family values, not McCain's sleaze

[PeaceChick07]

CAMPBELL BROWN - ONE OF THE ONLY PEOPLE I TRULY TRUST ON THE NEWS! Thank God for Campbell Brown! We all need the truth!

[MAHONEGAL]

If Palin tells this Ebay story one more time, I mean doesn't she have a speech writer??

Didn't she do anything else that she can talk about?\MOVE ON

[Neonbob]

TY CNN For getting to the truth. We all know the truth. Finally some no bias BS. KUDOS

[jpgeddies]

Bluebook value $2.45 million, selling price $2.1 million. Still no profit. What's wrong with saying "I put it on eBay" but it didn't sell. The impression is she sold it on eBay. Just ask John McCain.

[Dronetek1]

Can anyone tell me why CNN was never anywhere near this interested in Obmama's experience or history? In fact, they any time spent on it, was spent dismissing the criticisms. It seems to be just the opposite when its a Republican.

[daddymarston]

To Dronetek1 - Both sides tend to cry that the press is out to get them... Whatever! You must have been in a glass house when all the ridiculous RUMORS were floating around on the news about Obama supporting terrorism... The fact is that the press has every right to check out the resume on someone who could potentially have the power any of these candidates are seeking...

[Dronetek1]

There were never news reports that Obama supported terror. There were people asking the media to look in to his friend Bill Ayers, who is a terrorist. Which, the media has yet to do.

[daddymarston]

Yeah, okay...The media didn't have pictures plastered all over the place with Obama in his Kenyan garb/terrorism outfit and he and Michelle didn't do the "terrorist fist bump." Keep telling yourself how you are a right-wing conservative victim. I suppose it is just that the media reports were so over the top that they were immediately discounted by the public. Sarah Palin is bragging about these things like they were some great reform, but she is neglecting to add in some of the important facts.

[esthilaire]

Obama was 8 years old when the guy was acussed

[dvdcnl]

So? He did hang around him and Ayers did say in 91 that he wished they had set more bombs. With friends like Obama's, you or I could not pass a FBI background check to get a secret clearance.

[justnich]

Typical Republican bs. Don't buy it anymore. Obama 08!

[tbjw1]

McCain and Palin love telling the same stories again and again exactly the same way each time kinda rehearsed like. She lies about the plane on "Eubey" Story and McCain lies about the cross in the sand story. It's like they think if they tell it enough, it'll be true.

[tworag]

"She took the luxury jet and SOLD it on Ebay...at a PROFIT" - John McCain direct quote from this video starting at :45

Either McCain is so senile or misinformed that he can't get the story straight OR he intentionally LIED. There is no excuse.

[inboxnews]

Palin said she PUT the plane on ebay, not that she SOLD the plane on ebay. Difference. She also did NOT say she made a profit, McCain said that, mistakenly. Also, Palin INCREASED the budget for special needs children by 175%. CNN misreported that little truth as reported correctly by the Weekly Standard (search: Newest Palin Smear: She Cut Special Needs Budget)

[stuffums]

Palin is a religious nut and that's the reason she shouldn't hold office outside the vatican city.

[GBTRU]

Bay's laugh at the end sounds like an old witch. But seriously for the Republicans to think that the media was going to go soft on her is delusional. She will be exposed and most likely drop out.

[zitan17]

zomg! who cares!

[emb952]

Bay Buchanan is being blatantly dishonest in an attempt to make a cheap political point about media bias.

Obviously, Sarah Palin was caught trying to deceive the public with her "Ebay" and "Bridge to Nowhere" falsehoods. Plus, as Begala noted she's trying to deceive the public into thinking that she'll support special needs kids when she has a record of cutting funding for programs that help such kids in Alaska.

She's quickly becoming a despicable character and unabashed fraud. Shame!

[naithom]

You know she would have had a better story if she had said, "Yeah we sold the plane, we're able to recoop all the money but you do the best you can."

That said, it's the documentation on the cutting of special needs funds that burns me. No excuse.

[Waranle]

mykol she said she sold it on ebay, not she put on ebay jesus this people are so fucking stupid. Take on what she said, she was braging of by selling that planeeeeeeeeeeee

[supertamsf]

Waranie- If Plain had integrity she would have said: "I sold the plane to cut down on expenses" Simple and accurate. Instead, she intentionally and deceptively hyped the story making herself look bad.

Doesn't pardon McCain. His quote @ :45 on this video "She took the luxury jet and SOLD it on Ebay...at a PROFIT" He is running for president. Either he is unable to get the facts straight or he deliberately LIED over a stupid media buzz story because he has nothing better to offer.

[supertamsf]

Waranie - Whoops. I misread your comment. I thought you were defending mykol and mistakenly gave you the thumbs down ...sorry!

[mykol13v]

It was a used plane. When seling used equipment to private parties, do you ever bargain? Yes. The stupid woman didn't think what every real man knows. You walk out of the showroom and it already starts to discount.

Here is a thought. Try to buy a new car and sell it back to the salesman. Try it.

She spoke correctly, she put it on Ebay.

Nail them Bay.

CNN = Communist News Network

[bestservice1983]

She did not sell it on ebay and make a profit.I respect your point but what her and McCain have been telling people the last few days is simply NOT TRUE.She put it on ebay but it didn't sell it on ebay.

[mykol13v]

Listen to Palin's words, she PUT IT on eBay.

That is correct.

What happened after that isn't a matter to concern with. When you EXTEND BEYOND the words, you are NOT quoting the person but offering opinion.

Broadcasting across state lines with known false information, they could lose their license. If you think CNN lied on purpose and have the evidence, make a FCC report.

I've been the media since 1981, for disclosure.

Yes, McCain got it wrong, he should be corrected.

mykol13v- Quit parsing words trying to defend these assholes. They want us to bicker about Ebay plane bullshit because they don't want to be held responsible for the MESS this country is in after 8 years under Republican rule.....

Palin intentionally hyped and exaggerated the story for impact. It was then flat out falsely portrayed by McCain. There is no excuse for this crap and absolutely no excuse to DEFEND it.

Thanks for the informative post.

But, we need to stay focussed on the big deals-Obama is respected abroad, that will help America; Obama's economics plan will be far better for middle-class and poor people than McCains; Obama favors diplomacy, which is feasible(Swiss Micheline Calmy-Rey visited Iran this spring) and will save America lives and dollars.

Canvass & phonebank for Obama, and go to swingstates if you can.

I love Campbell. But after an RNC Convention where the Republican Party didn't lay down a Platform - It's a Shame that some people in Our Country are so Stupid that they'll believe everything they hear.

Anchorage Daily News:

Palin tries new tactic to unload hated jet (4/22/2007)

"The eBay thing didn't work out very well," said Dan Spencer, director of administrative services for the Department of Public Safety. He's the person charged with trying to get rid of the infamous Westwind II.

Former Gov. Frank Murkowski bought the jet, which cost the state about $2.6 million,...One of her campaign promises was to sell the plane and she's been trying to unload it for months.

[dogstar7]

Palin eventually sold the jet using a traditional aircraft broker, selling it for $2.1 million — $500,000 less than the state paid.

Palin & McCain are an insult to the America. With so much at stake this election they will use this petty BS to distract from the fact they are abhorrently inept to lead and get Americans arguing about planes on Ebay. Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Conservatives, Liberals, Moderates and everyone in between...... DON'T FALL FOR IT. We don't need this crap. Let's stay on point and get this country moving in the right direction.

Check MoveOn for training to be a campaign leader in a swingstate for Obama if you can give 5 weeks. If you can't, Democracy for America for canvassing and phonebank training that can help Obama get elected.

McCain & Palin = Mr. & Ms. SATAN

Obama--peace and prosperity for America
