Psychology Today Writer: Palin ‘A Very Special Liar’
Newsbusters ^ | 11/20/09 | Dan Gainor

Posted on 11/20/2009 2:39:39 PM PST by Nachum

The Associated Press "fact check" of Sarah Palin's new book wasn't enough. Now the left is just coming out and claiming Palin is a flat out liar. That was the argument made by Bella DePaulo in a Psychology Today blog entitled "Sarah Palin's Lies."

DePaulo, who has a Harvard Ph.D. in psychology and experience in analyzing lying, claims Palin excels at it. "From my post as an outside observer, it seems to me that Sarah Palin doesn't care much about the truth. In that way, she is a very special liar," she wrote in the Nov. 19 "Living Single" blog.

Gee, I wonder what party DePaulo voted for in the last election? Probably voted for a documented liar.

Well, I read her source column, and she fails to specifically document any lie whatsoever.
Being an ugly lesbo must be painful.

There ought to be a disclaimer before crazy comments like this lady’s, along the lines of “WARNING, UGLY, BITTER LESBIAN AHEAD”.

I wonder if she could offer some examples of the lies. She didn’t in the article. They must be going for another version of “Bush lied.”

Sarah doesn’t need to lie; De Paulo does.

THIS from her Web site.
She is in Santa Barbara visiting Prof.

Welcome

I’m Bella DePaulo, a social scientist (PhD, Harvard) and the author of SINGLED OUT: How Singles Are Stereotyped, Stigmatized, and Ignored, and Still Live Happily Ever After. Singled Out is a myth-busting, consciousness-raising, totally unapologetic take on singles and their place in contemporary American society.

Do you, or anyone you know, believe that single people are miserable and lonely, and that getting married makes people happier and healthier and even means that they will live longer? Do you think that the children of single parents are doomed? Do you, or anyone you know, think that singlism (the stereotyping and stigmatizing of people who are single) does not really exist? Then Singled Out is for you and those enlightenment-challenged people in your life.

In the book, I draw from decades of scientific research to smash the myths about marriage and singlehood. I include examples from popular culture as well as the touching, aggravating, and hilarious personal experiences shared by so many of the single people I’ve gotten to know along the way.

In addition:

•I write the Living Single blog for Psychology Today.
•I contribute to the Huffington Post.
•I have appeared on the Today show and on morning shows on ABC, CBS, and CNN.

This is from the same people who, with the stroke of a pen, declared that homosexual attraction is not a mental disorder, and who are actively attempting to do the same thing with pedophilia (redefining it as "intergenerational sex").

I would put as much worth on anything they say as I would to the brown, steaming, stinking masses my neighbor's dog leaves in my lawn.
