Sarah Palin Attacks the 11 AP Hacks Assigned to Destroy Her Book

November 15, 2009

Jim Hoft

It looks like Sarah Palin learned a thing or two from the election. Today she slammed the 11 AP fact-checkers assigned to pick apart her book.

From her facebook page:

Really? Still Making Things Up?

…Amazingly, but not surprisingly, the AP somehow nabbed a copy of the book before it was released. They’re now erroneously reporting on the book’s contents and are repeating many of the same things they spewed during the campaign and afterwards. We’ve heard 11 writers are engaged in this opposition research, er, “fact checking” research! Imagine that – 11 AP reporters dedicating time and resources to tearing up the book, instead of using the time and resources to “fact check” what’s going on with Sheik Mohammed’s trial, Pelosi’s health care takeover costs, Hasan’s associations, etc. Amazing.

We’ll keep setting the record straight, and we’ll keep reminding some in the media that Americans are very tired of their non-objective reporting. A great, recent post that accomplishes this is a Conservatives4Palin post. It’s got some nice fact checking included. As always, they did a great job holding some of the media accountable for spreading more misinformation and for making things up. You can read it here. Enjoy

Sounds like Harper Collins’ security at its print facility is sorely lacking...

To paraphrase Albert Einstein, “If there were really errors, it would only take one AP hack to find them.”

Apparently so but they also threatened legal action against anyone who posts the book or scans it. Some idiot web site posted some of the scanned images of the book, Harper Collins sent them a letter saying either remove it or be sued. But wait, I thought Sarah was irrelevant. I mean that is what the media keeps on saying, yet people are illegally obtaining copies of this book. Just goes to show why the left are so terrified of her

I think she’s just going to ridicule them into the ground, they shot their wad, now she’s got the media spotlight and you watch, she’ll make them pay.

Their goal is to have Sarah sit down and shut up.

My thoughts exactly, classic counter punch.

I, also, wondered why AP would deploy 11 researchers to a “washed up quitter” (their words!!) while so many other compelling stories are spiked!

It’s very common to send out review copies in advance so reviews can come out the same day as the book. The copies are generally sent with a request to delay publication until the release date, but there isn’t much publishers can do to enforce the request unless they are willing to cut off a publication from future review copies.

I love Sarah Palin. The Bible says, “no weapon formed against you shall prosper.” They don’t know who they’re dealing with. Just some more Alinskites at work.

It is the height of incompetence that Ass Press assigned ELEVEN BYLINE total hacks to character assassinate Sarah.... and failed!

AP writers: Matt Apuzzo, Sharon Theimer, Tom Raum, Rita Beamish, Beth Fouhy, H. Josef Hebert, Justin D. Pritchard, Garance Burke, Dan Joling and Lewis Shaine contributed to this report.

Wow. That’s ten “AP writers” plus Calvin Woodward, the AP writer whose twinkling pen honed the above contributions into the turgid sludge of the actual report.
