If McCain’s people don’t get a transcription of the “apology” and play it over and over again in ads, shame on them. These sickos need to be humiliated.
Of course the Old DNC Times didn’t bother to check w/the McCain campaign. Just reprint the e-mails from the Oblack campaing.
Pray for W, Mav/Palins and Our Troops
Alaska Independence Party, a secessionist party in Alaska. They were trying to link Governor Palin with this party, though she's never been a member (Todd Palin did flirt with them, briefly, *before* Sarah entered politics, but she was never a member...)

Which one? They run 10,000 phony stories a day.
No source? How about Lucy Ramariz?
Who wants to take a betting pool that this won’t go away and leftists will be still throwing out this charge all the way through the election.
They knew it was a lie from the outset, the point was to get the story out there. They just needed to start the lie, the left will repeat it over and over.
bumping so others will read.
Slimes are feeling the backlash.
Why, I ask, is this paper still in business?
Bastards!
HOW LONG WILL WE LET THE MSM RULE US?
Basic fact checking *used* to be a part of Journalism, but when Journalism devolved into "Advocacy Journalism" (aka Propaganda slinging), such "quaint, archaic notions" were quickly disposed of (the end justifies the means)...

The Times can retract the story, but the readers will remember the story, not the retraction.
Has the NY Times apologized for sitting on the John Edwards Mistress story yet?
/wishful thinking
You are exactly right when you say they knew what they were doing. There will still be those that continue to spread this lie, just like there are those who are continuing to spread the lie that Trig is Bristol’s (even though it is not mathematically or physically possible).
This is not exactly a story that would be easy to screw up....don’t know how they did it.
Haven’t they heard to use 2 sources? My editor would kill me if I used one anonymous source......
I am sure they are extremely sorry they printed that phony story on Palin and it won’t happen again. Now move along folks there is nothing to see here.(/sarcasm)
Yet another "quaint, archaic notion" disposed of by the devolution into "Advocacy Journalism"...
