No a troll is someone trashing other candidates to pimp for his... without adding anything worthwile. There are some recent sign-ups who only focus on trashing Palin. I wasn't the one calling you a troll.

Google the story and pick any other source you may agree with other than your own opinion.

Yawn. I provided a bunch of links above. Not only did the McCain staffers deny it, they offered evidence of Palin knowing a good deal about African issues. You of course ignore it.

I don’t know of any reporter who would disclose a confidential source. I accept that. That in itself does not prove the story wrong.

Nope. It's in ANY case worse and less reliable then a disclosed source. I don't accept Cameron hiding his sources anymore than i.e. the AP citing anonymous Iraqis claiming US war crimes. If you have a source, name it or at least alert that it's reliabiliy is dubious.

I can imagine how Cameron got his story. He probably did talk with some McCain staffer about the campaign... and pressed him to cite something about Palin's inexperience. The staffer probably said something truthful about Palin having a minor verbal slip about Africa, or similar irrelevant non-story. Cameron then twisted it into "Palin doesn't KNOW that Africa is a continent". This was the story he went with... which was denied by all involved.

If Cameron would disclose his source (what does the staffer have to fear?), the source would probably say it's not true and twisted out of context. Cameron is a coward, because he is probably the one who made up/twisted the statement, and won't come forward.

Cameron is a liberal as you originally stated but then changed that he’s a moderate.

Liberal, moderate, RINO, whatever. Cameron was all giddy and smarmy trashing Palin. Told me enough about him. I didn't backtrack anything.

If I thought you’d read one thing I wrote in strong oppostion to Obama’s scam candidacy, I’d take the time to provide you my previous FR posts on that.

Keep it. It was a rhetorical question directed at your trust into MSM baseless sources. You apparently believe it as long as it's anti-Palin.

I will never convince you that I am not anti-Palin as much as I have concerns about her being the future face of the party. That was my original post. It’s a lot of eggs in one basket. I am seriously not looking for a fight with a conservative nor am I wanting to put down someone else’s candidate. However, I do appreciate a good discussion about our candidates without taking it or getting personal. If I wanted a fight I’d go put the smack down on some )!#*$ at Huffington.

Sorry, I thought I made the point earlier...if it is true, then the staffer has a lot to fear...namely an end to their political future because they told Cameron something that was very private.
