Alaska Party Official Says Palin Was Not a Member
NYT (Slimes) ^ | 8/2/2008

September 2, 2008, 10:32 pm Alaska Party Official Says Palin Was Not a Member By The New York Times

The chairwoman of an Alaskan political party that advocates a vote on the state’s secession from the union said Tuesday that she had been mistaken when she said Gov. Sarah Palin was a member of the group.

A front-page story in The New York Times on Tuesday and articles in other news media reported that Ms. Palin was a member of the Alaska Independence Party for two years in the 1990’s.

The information in the Times article was based on a statement issued Monday night by Lynette Clark, the party’s chairwoman, who said that Ms. Palin joined the party in 1994 and in 1996 changed her registration to Republican. On Tuesday night, Ms. Clark said that her initial statement was incorrect and had been based on erroneous information provided by another member of the party whom she declined to identify.

The McCain campaign also disputed the Times report, saying that Ms. Palin had been registered consistently as a Republican. After checking the party’s archives, Ms. Clark said that she could find no documentation that Governor Palin had been a member of the party. She said Ms. Palin attended the party’s 1994 and 2006 conventions and provided a video-taped address as governor to the 2008 convention. Ms. Clark said that Ms. Palin’s husband, Todd, was a former member of the party.

Folks, we all need to practice a little more critical thinking.

This story was bogus from the start. It was invented by a blogger from the DailyKOS and the Obama campaign.

Time to realize the true source of this stuff-- and then ATTACK!!!

Anyone sending their ire to the New York Times today?

>>I’m glad this turned out to be false. I was beginning to think McCain hadn’t been as thorough in vetting her as he should.<<

Oh ye of little faith.

Trust me, a LOT of ‘em are going to be false or irrelevant. This kind of stuff was expected.

Definitely Clark seeing a chance for her 15 minutes...was this correction printed on the front page of the NYT like the original story was? I wouldn’t be surprised if Clark made the entire story up out of whole cloth.

Yet, the KOS Morons keep repeating the NYTimes lie, OVER AND OVER. And the media picks it up, all over again, because they can’t do original work anymore.

It’s how Democrat smears work.

Are you kidding? Ethics at the New York Times?

Nope. It was buried in a blog page.

Behold the quality of journalism in America today, and think about that whenever you read their work.

The Times, along with the rest of the liberal media, is engaging in a powerplay to trash Sarah Palin. That’s enough for me. It’s all-out war on the liberal media now.

With John Edwards little bastard they had to hold off on covering the story until he himself admitted he’d committed adultery. And even then the “mistake” was blamed on one of his staffers.

Lots of people have changed parties (or belonged to NO party) at some time or another.

Every American was party-less...at one time.

Palin needs to go on offense and start libel proceedings against the MSM for spreading false rumors as established fact.

This will be another election that the Left tries to steal through “fake but accurate” propaganda.
