Palin: No affair
thesun ^ | Sept 24 | EMILY SMITH

Posted on 09/24/2008 8:53:00 PM PDT by bahblahbah

VICE-President hopeful Sarah Palin has denied an affair with her husband Todd’s business partner.

The Republican candidate is furious over claims she cheated on Todd — dubbed the First Dude — in 1996.

The National Enquirer claims she had an affair with his snowmobile dealership partner Brad Hanson.

The magazine said it took place when Palin was mayor of home town Wasilla and started because she was “lonely” while Todd was away working on oilfields.

The alleged fling ended when Palin, 44, confessed to furious Todd. Palin denies ever cheating on Todd and Republican John McCain’s campaign has threatened legal action over the “vicious lie”.

The Enquirer quotes convicted thief Jim Burdett, a relative of Hanson’s wife, and said to have passed a lie detector test.

But Hanson, 46, insisted: “I never had an affair of any kind with Sarah Palin. Todd and I are friends.”

The story is believed to have been spread by Palin’s political rivals. McCain senior adviser Steve Schmidt said: “The smearing of the Palins must end.”

You know, that's an excellent response to everything! For any ridiculous comment from the left, or for that matter in addition to anything, let's add:

I’m voting for Sarah!

The modern version of “so when did you stop beating your wife”.

Imagine these vile people having an “in” with the next POTUS. It will be a disgusting time for our country.

Good grief. If we quit posting ‘offensive’ MSM articles, what the hell do you think would happen to this site?

How about Obama’s children are adopted? “The One” shoots blanks, don't ya know!! Maybe it's a result of all the drugs he did? Or maybe it's because women aren't really “his thing”?

Can you say “pissed beyond description”? Somebody in media is about to loose their family jewels. I love it when the media gets a reaming. Cannot wait for the day that the entire corporate media files for bankruptcy. God, let me live to see the day.

Damn. It really is just like the onion.

What was that one quote..
“I am your father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate.”

Because we should totally trust a random convicted criminal who’s getting paid for this.

Gah, liberals are lunatics...

An anonymous source states that Mr. Barak Hussein Obama (D-IL) sold metamphetamines, also known as meth or crystal meth, on the South Side of Chicago.

Metamphetamines are one of the most pernicious illegal drugs, rivaled only by heroine for its destructiveness. These illegal drugs are extremely addictive and tied to gang violence. Such gangs have been tied to persistent violence and even murders of children in Chicago area schools, espescially in the depressed minority regions of Chicago.

Some have supposed that Mr. Obama (D-IL) engaged in these illegal dealings to fund his entry into the corrupt Chicago political scene. Other members of this scene include convicted felon Mr. Anthony Rezco, a reported close associate of Mr. Obamab (D-IL), and unrepetant Weatherman Underground alleged terrorist Mr. William Ayers.

Neither Mr. Obama nor his campaign have yet to deny these allegations. They have also failed to deny Mr. Obama’s (D-IL) involvement with drug dealing street gangs.

OK, How’s that? This WOULD be an MSM story if The One wasn’t a leftist. And no, I’m not kidding, not even a little. Everything above is factaully true, just spun to death. (The “some” mentioned above is me. Hey, I can “suppose” that, right?)

Damn I scanned the article, top to bottom but found no reference to Larry Sinclair. Anyone have any thoughts as to why Larry Sinclair, Obama’s special friend isn’t being discussed??

Just sayin...

“They are disgusting but I don't think even they would go as low as the Obama campaign.”

A woman at a McCain rally ask why the democrats sent 30 investigators to Alaska to find dirt on Sarah Palin and her family, yet had not sent one investigator to Chicago to investigate Bill Ayers.
Do the democrats want the truth?????

I think after publishing the stories exposing John Edwards’ extramarital affair the Enquirer received a lot of hate mail from Democrats. To appear politically unbiased they cobbled together some gossip and lies on Palin and have tried to pass it off as a fact.

Truth to a Democrat is like a stake through the heart of a vampire. They can't have the truth being told. Were it to be so you would not find anyone who would admit to being a Democrat. If not for their control of the media Democrats would have been a footnote in history long ago.

I’d say it is time for a lawsuit! I think the Palins could start lots of lawsuits over the slander that has been lobbed at them.
Makes one wonder if they had any idea the lengths the sleezeballs would go to in order to demean them.
No wonder good people won’t go near politics..but Sarah and her family have thick skins..she said so herself.

This kind of trash about Governor Palin is what comes of so many Pubs' unquestioning acceptance of the infamous National Enquirer's story about Obama's alleged extra-marital escapades as gospel truth. I have no idea whether or not there was any truth in that "expose" of Obama's infidelity, but given the well known and well publicized evangelical Christian character of the Governor I very seriously doubt that there is even an iota of truth in the entire story. Whether it is an allegation of sexual impropriety by Obama or a much less likely to be true accusation of Governor Palin, I would give more credence to a Pravda editorial at the height of the cold war than I do to anything written about anybody in the Enquirer.

The most damaging thing about the latest Enquirer allegations is now that the gossip rag has taken a cheap shot at the GOP VP nominee that almost any judge of character knows is highly unlikely to be true, it naturally casts serious doubt on the veracity of the Obama article in the minds of most Enquirer readers. IMHO it would have been better for both sides to have denounced the Enquirer's articles about their opponent's alleged misbehavior as the lies they are virtually certain to be, at least in the Governor's case, and then decline to make any further comment on the Enquirer's dubious allegations.
