Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has been subjected to an intense amount of media and public scrutiny since she was named as John McCain’s vice presidential pick one week ago. Many of the attacks have come in the form of unconfirmed reports on the Internet. Among them:
1) Palin “Joined a Secessionist Political Party”
The Charge: Unsubstantiated Internet reports insisted Palin was once a member of the Alaska Independence Party, which critics call a secessionist political movement and supporters say is dedicated to seeking greater state control over federal lands across Alaska.
The Facts: Palin has been a registered Republican since 1982. There is no record of her ever being a member of the AIP, or any party but the GOP. Palin’s huband has been a member of the AIP in the past, but since 2002 has been a registered independent.
(See: Party Official Says Palin Was Not a Member http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/09/02/alaska-party-official-says-palin-was-not-a-member/?scp=2&sq=palin%20independence%20party&st=cse)
2) Palin Supported a “Nazi Sympathizer”
The Charge: “Palin was a supporter of Pat Buchanan, a right-winger or, as many Jews call him: a Nazi sympathizer,” Obama Florida spokesman Mark Bubriski was quoted as saying in a Miami Herald article.
The Facts: While mayor of Wasilla, Palin wore a Buchanan button during the sometimes presidential candidate’s 1999 visit. But Palin actually supported Steve Forbes in 2000, and served as a co-chair on his Alaska campaign.
In the weeks after the 1999 report of her wearing the Buchanan button, Palin said: “When presidential candidates visit our community, I am always happy to meet them. I’ll even put on their button when handed one as a polite gesture of respect. … The article may have left your readers with the perception that I am endorsing this candidate, as opposed to welcoming his visit to Wasilla.”

9. Palin secretly plans to convert to Islam, will wear burka during swearing in ceremonies.
I think it's a fake, but maybe it isn't.
One of the networks called the shirt ‘suggestive’.
It's too bad she doesn't. I would support that 100% at least until there is school choice via vouchers, charter schools etc. Government should not be teaching children about sex IMO.
The Charge: A slew of fake, Photoshopped or misdated photographs on the Internet purport to show Palin in any number of embarrassing or compromising poses. One photo claimed to show Palin standing poolside, wearing an American flag-themed bikini, toting a rifle with telescopic sight.
Had the picture been real I would find nothing "embarrassing or compromising" about it. In addition I believe the "rifle" is a Crosman pellet gun. I used to own one just like it. But she can go shooting with a Barret .50 BMG for kicks for all I care. Heck, she's the governor, she can spend the weekend with the AKNG shooting howitzers and mortars for all I care.
Of course they did.
Any picture of female candidate not dressed in a pant suit is ‘suggestive’.
That’s just too funny. The one about the dog rooting got belly laughs from me....
Now HERE'S a real one (with apologies to Xena Warrior Princess) ;-):
Nope we got a Mexican restaurant though... (cleaning glasses)..
Kewl, I always were partial to women who observed Saturnalia!
Truth) Well, this one we have to admit is not a lie or a myth.
Snopes says it is but it could have Joe Lieberman’s face on it and I’ll still look!
fyi

In case they are listening I would love for the Olive Garden chain
to open a store here.

I know “there’s no disuputing of taste”...as the ancient Romans said.
But based on the restaurants here in Columbia, MO and in Wichita, KS...
forgeddabout Olive Garden.
Petition for a Romano’s Macaroni Grill.
About the same price for much better Italian food.

Real or not... Who cares??!? Not guilty!!
Palin probably looks better in a Bikini than the woman\girl whose body they photoshopped her face onto. If she ever wears one that is.
She'd also be holding something more substantial than a BB gun. A .300 Winchester Magnum perhaps. A 30-06 at minimum. :)
Nah, just Mooseburgers. But she does like to shoot the Moose herself. Then field dress it, butcher it, and grind up the meat for the burgers.
