Does this woman, Sarah Palin, ever tell the truth? No. Sadly, those who’ve anointed her their Obamessiah on the Right are in such teen puppy love they can’t face facts.

She’s been compared to “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” but as this makes clear, it’s far more like “Mrs. Palin Brings Washington Cronyism and Back Room Deals to Alaska.”

Pretty damning. There are facts and there are damned facts. And some on the Right engage in blind hero worship, too.

Debbie is such a prick. The AP is full of lies. Already proven lies. What else is knew

[muawiyah]

Just Debbie Doing AP again.

Remember, AP is affiliated with AlQaida. Debbie likes to give it away. A match made in Hell Fur Shur.

[Aria]

Why would you support this so blindly?

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Okay, I’m game to believe what you’re saying. But don’t tell me something is ‘the facts’ without any documentation. I’m not taking people’s word for this stuff.

If the last couple years have shown anything, it’s that there are a lot of people who will say ANYTHING to discredit Sarah Palin.

So, pardon me, if I appear to some holier-than-thou poster like you as a ‘hero worshiper’ when I don’t take these people at their word on what constitutes a ‘fact’.

Schlussel is boring and so is her writing.

[goldstategop]

Conflicts of interest, ethical lapses and insider deals don't bother you? We're rightly upset when Democrats engage in such behavior. Republicans should be held to higher standards. No - AP isn't completely fair but then that's life.

[Windflier]

Pretty damning.

What? Don't tell me you're buying the warmed-over secondhand lies from AP that Debbie Schlussel is projectile vomiting, are you?

[goldstategop]

I don't think any human being is perfect. The point is, she's not the saint her ghostwriter makes her out to be in her book.

What is so hard to believe that the AP is lying. They are in full attack mode, but you are already not a fan of Sarah’s so why am I even bothering. You believe whatever you want to believe. I’m actually going to READ her book and think for myself

[Iron Munro]

Meowwwwwwrrrrr!!!!!

[Menehune56]

I know I shouldn’t but I love watching a good chickfight.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Don’t even bother, he/she isn’t a fan of Sarah’s to begin with. Look, I make up my own mind about people, I don’t read BS from the AP and think it’s fact. That is how Obama won. The media made him out to be the messiah and people went in droves to vote for him, like zombies. The AP is in full attack mode and they are TERRIFIED because Sarah is speaking her mind and calling out the bastards in the campaign who tried to get her destroyed. Is she a saint, of course NOT..NO ONE is a saint, nobody is perfect, but to believe the crap from the AP, well, they whored themselves out for Obama a long time ago. I’m actually going to take the time to read her book and decide for myself. As far as Debbie goes, she is just another Elitist witch who has hated Sarah since the beginning. She is a good looking version of Maureen Dowd

[Aria]

I don’t think anyone here thinks she’s perfect but why use that to believe all the lies told about her? Maybe you’re on the wrong site.

[scoobysnak71]

You’ll need to supply me with more facts than those presented by some LIBERAL MEDIA WHORE.

[tanuki]

Poor Debbie seems to be morphing into the female Andrew Sullivan.

[Cicero]

I usually agree with you, so this post surprises me.

If Debbie Schussel gets her “facts” from AP, then she’s a lot stupider, or greener with envy, than I thought.

[Jeb21]

“Damning”? The AP makes an apologetics column against Palin, and its “damning”? I’ll bet you consider remotely liking Sarah Palin “hero worship”.

Sarah Palin has been on the front lines attacking Obamacare and supporting our troops against Islamic terror. She’s unapologetic, and unafraid to take on the Obama administration, something Huckabee, Romney, Pawlenty, McCain, etc have been unwilling to do. She has a wonderful family with 5 children, one of whom joined the military after 9/11 and served in Iraq for a year. And Debbie takes the time to use a column by the Arab-owned AP to attack her on false charges.

There is only one truth, and if you actually looked at the AP article you would know its a bunch of Democrat lies.

The supposed AP fact: " Palin and daughter Bristol stayed five days and four nights at the $707.29-per-night Essex House luxury hotel (robes and slippers come standard) overlooking New York City’s Central Park for a five-hour women’s leadership conference in October 2007."

I checked the hotel rates of the Essex House Hotel in NYC for one person and the rates for one person and one child (Bristol was under 18 and considered a child in 2007). There was no difference in rates. So, there wouldn't have been any additional cost for Bristol to stay at the hotel.

Smells like ammonia round here.
