Professor’s research ruffles former Palin spokesman

EXCERPT....Scharlott said he first became interested in the pregnancy hoax rumor after Palin was nominated as a vice-presidential candidate, and said he was fascinated that no one from McCain’s camp chose to rebut the rumor.

In his paper, Scharlott says that the “oddness of the McCain’s campaign response to the fake birth rumors should have caused reporters, ostensibly skeptical by training and nature, to wonder if something was amiss.”

That is because the McCain camp did not like Palin.
She was used to get the base. McCain wanted Joe Liebermann.

I don’t understand. I get that Sarah Palin, or her multitudinous minions did something nefarious, but I can’t figure out what it is they must have done.

This??? The media is digging into this?? Not Obama's birth certificate? Not his college transcripts? Not his social security number? Nothing about Obama?

Unbelievable.

Non reponse to rumors and outlandish accusations is a typical GOP operating procedure as far back as I can remember.....the tired old “no one would ever believe that” excuse is no longer operative. Sarah has taught the GOP fuddie duddies a lesson.

This bastid is demented. Truly demented. Certa-frikking-fiable, and if he pursues this in any way, shape, or form, he should be sued down to the soles of his feet.

I wonder how much taxpayer-funded Federal grant money this hard of thinking liberal journalism professor jackass got to fund his supposed "research".

Dunno about the McAllister angle but the McCain camp support for Sarah was pretty weak.

I love the comments....it’s a peek past the libtard public mask of sanity...

They let their hair down when they think no one is watching or can tell who they are....

A cornhole-copia of crazy...

The left fears Palin a great deal, hence the non-stop attacks.

This is a ridiculous meme from the left. All you have to do is look at pictures from Palin’s pregnancy. She was showing the usual signs. The weight wasn’t just in the tummy.

Not to mention that I have always heard it as a fact that women who give birth in their 40’s have a much higher chance of having a baby with Trig’s problem.

I would say this is about the most idiotic claim ever made.

Now lets get to real facts here, Obama, you are ineligible already to be President and we would like to look at your long form BC to see if you are who you say you are and if you were born in the US.

Thank you
