The 2008 V.P. Debate

[jazzyhap]

Now we can look back and see:

2:32

LOL

Could FactCheck have been any more wrong and Sarah Palin been any more right?

3:45

LOL

Worst deficit, and Obama wants to impose Obamacare. FactCheck was either completely ignorant, or totally biased, or maybe both.

It is plain to see that it is moments like this where you can see unbiased journalism died. FactCheck lost all credibility, and since has been exposed as an Obama puppet.

No credibility, no need to waste your time here.

thank you thank you!

Please, I wish you guys (and gals) would be on the front page of youtube, you're awsome! In fact, I'm going to write a letter to YouTube right now!

[Muaguana]

This election looks uglier than hell. It would be nice if we had instant runoff voting so people could vote for sane, reasonably honest third-party candidates and not feel like their vote is going to waste. Maybe then we'd see some real change in this country.

[cobwebhead]

Yes on IRV!

[phaedrus229]

the girl in this video is a stone cold fox...thats all i have to say.

[CocteauBoyTV]

Why can't FACT CHECK be at these debates and call these liars out! That would be so amazing!

[IconMatthew1]

agreed

[maikai86]

What about Palin's misleading claims about her state's "Divestment" from funds from Sudan. I think this is the worst of all. search: palin sudan

Yeah, I hope Factcheck gets on this.

Also, I wish there was some real fact checking going on with the bailout bill and Bernanke & Paulson's testimonies.

factcheckdotorg is the greatest resource for election season! thanks for doing such a great job, guys!

[TheVampirella]

Great work Emi (and the rest of the staff). When I was watching the debate I couldn't wait for your video about the lies being tossed about.

Palin didn't "screw up" but she didn't really answer the questions either. As a Republican I am getting tired of both her and McCain sidestepping the questions.

How about a "fact check" on the bailout bill?

[Bugeda]

Biden actually had 10 lies, palin 5

[hecklerhouse]

That's if you go by Karl Rove's count when he did his interview with fox news. Seeing that Karl Rove is part of the McCain campaign and Fox News has a Republican bias, I wouldn't trust those numbers.

THis video was great though! This is exactly what I've been looking for.. unbiased facts correcting the gaffes made durnig the debates

[Cleverconveyence]

Quality over quantity, Bugeda.

[jmad95]

good shit. keep up the good work.

[Scoppertop]

LIE COUNT:

Palin: 6

Biden: 2-1/2

(1/2 lie since Biden clearly meant "Big Business price-gouging" when he said "The Exxon/Mobils of the World" and was only stretching the fact.

BIDEN WINS.

[masterhook]

Biden won, not by much but he did win and this is bad for McCain. McCain needs a knock out win on one of the 4 debates and the 2 that he should have taken he lost. the 3ed will be the town hall that he will walk into thinking he is going to win hands down but he has not see Obama at town halls and how good he really is. two down, two to go

[Scoppertop]

Two down, two to go. Good call; not long now, but when Obama wins, we'll still spend the next 4-8 years fending off the pitbullies. If we could only figure out a way to "medically treat" the GOP sociopathic behavior problems while they are still children, this could stop eventually... maybe for our grandkids.

[crock703]

There's no question Biden won.

Palin exceeds expectations, but expectations for her were in the basement.* She only competed with and maybe exceeded Biden on charisma, not substance, depth or sincerity.

* paraphrased from the Morning Joe co-host

[masterhook]

at the end of the day the most this did was stop the bleeding in the base for McCain. They need a game changer and that will not happen in the next two debates. Obama is as good at McCain in a town hall setting. Just like last time McCain will go in thinking he will be the winner and high on him self and that's his down fall. He still thinks he had a shot at the electoral collage map. Looking at even the most conservative sites he is losing big, at this point he will be lucky to bake 200

[jonathanwindham]

That debate was loaded with lies and missleads.

[pmstavros]

Great work, and Emi, you're very pretty.

[voyeurdug]

Moderately well-balanced.  Well done.
