Toobin Fact Checking Palin

CNN 09/03/08

JEFFREY TOOBIN: "She's not going to be a victim anymore, she's going to be a target. And let's start with some fact checking of some of the things she said in that speech, starting with the bridge to nowhere. Where she bragged about her efforts to cut pork barrel spending, a project that it turns out she was in support of. Now that wasn't raised in the speech. She talks about taxes, Barack Obama's proposal will cut taxes for 80% of the American people, and raise taxes for people making more than $250,000 a year. Those kind of things, I think, are appropriate to bring out at this point because she is no shrinking violet. She's no victim, she is a tough, effective Pol, and you know, game on."

One word for Sarah Palin: Hypocrisy

[billthebutcher2]

She's been a shameless, lying, opportunist and a sarcastic jerk who has a false sense of grandeur all of her life? Wow, good to know that.

when did you stop molesting little children?

Palin is an actress. "Hey, Julia Roberts.... I mean Sarah Palin, go out on stage and read this. Great job."

Even CNN calls her tough and effective... she's got them running scared. Note that the NY Times and The Wash. Post have already retracted stories that were "fact checked" per their standards. Whatever that is.

[FreeAgain2]

CNN and "fact checking" in the same sentence. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

the bridge to nowhere will turn out to be the attack to nowhere, as whe was the one who ended it after it became inflated by hundreds of millions over it's original release. biden & obama voted for the damn thing. but make no mistake she was the one who ended the thing after it became too big and instead she used a portion of the original funds all over the state like any governor does.

Is this the best they got on her?

tough questions? when are they going to stop throwing softballs at the empty suit? that is what i want to know! he has been around for over 12 months and no hard questions for him. sarah has been on the scene a week and they are hassleing the piss out of her,and she aint even running for president!by the way she has done way more good for the state of alaska than obama has ever done for his state" mr present empty suit"

[Scribblah]

9 days since she's been nominated and 9 days without an interview.

It's probably because they're scared she'll say things like this... "aturday in Colorado Springs, Colo., Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said, "The fact is that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers. The McCain-Palin administration will make them smaller and smarter and more effective for homeowners who need help."

Too expensive to the taxpayers?

They're private entities.

do you pay for your meal at a restaurant? if so do you like to get your moneys worth

[washmytoes]

she needs to give an interview. she leaves herself very vulnerable until she can be seen taking on tough questions by MSM.

[ATRUEAMERICAN10000]

TOOBIN is a JEW. JEWS looovve to hold Blacks up ... takes the spotlight off them.
