Vanity: Fox News Says Palin Did Not Know Africa Was Continent, Not Country

You are full of shit. Her popularity increased day after day. And she is more qulaified than Obama. She runs a state, Hussein runs his mouth.

[DoughtyOne]

Number one, McCain should have told his staff he would have none of this. Instead these folks are popping off at will.

Rush pointed out today that the McCain team has already attacked Palin more in two days than they did Obama and company all year.

And there you have it folks, why some of us didn’t want this ass to represent us on November 4th.

If McCain and Company and the Republican leadership think they are going to marginalize Palin so she will never be able to run again, they are in for a surprise.

And please, don’t even think of coming to me with the “McCain isn’t a part of this” defense. He either has control of his campaign staff, or he was far less capable of command than we thought he was.

[Shelayne]

Oh, get over it.

I’m talking about the attacks on her from the day she was announced. They didn’t keep it to her; they went after her children, including her BABY! They won’t be happy until she is completely destroyed. And as far as I’m concerned it is EVIL!

And if it scares you that I recognize evil, then I will live with that.

[Palladin]

Disinformation.

[jwalsh07]

She has 5 kids three of whom are grown. They all took geography. Moms and Dads help their kids with geography. I help my grandkids with geography. Africa being a continent is something my kids and my grandkids have all learned. The notion that she didn’t know that Africa is a continent is ridiculous on that count alone.

[jwalsh07]

She was a mistake.

LOL, McCain would have lost by 20 and Barack would have gotten 60% of the vote if McCain hadn't picked Palin.

That's the freaking truth of the matter.

You are irrational as well as foolish.

[donna]

Mitt is a liberal, a RINO, a big spender.

Sarah is the same.

[jla]

Fox also called FR a hate site. Screw them.

"Fox" is a title, or name, unable of motor funtions. Now 'someone' at Fox may have stated this, if so, who? (I know it couldn't have been Molly Henneberg, she's too sweet)

[sappy]

These reports are most likely from people to whom McCain “reached across the aisle” and put in advisor/aide roles. That’s what you get for working with people who hate your guts.

[jla]

I'd say, with confidence, that Gov. Palin is infinitely more knowledgeable than yourself.

...and there are three e's in 'knowledgeable' :^)

[jla]

Ye with the pretty name - Gov Palin never said she expected the gov't to raise her child. She did say that special needs children should not be ostracized.

Now behave yourself, for jla is now a Wasilla Hillbilly and damn proud of it!

[reaganaut1]

“I’d say, with confidence, that Gov. Palin is infinitely more knowledgeable than yourself.”

Since you don’t know me, how could you know that? Based on Palin’s performances in interviews, I think you are wrong.

[SalukiLawyer]

When half the commercials are for TV Ears and Sham Wows I don’t think their ad revenue is the best it could be.

After this much time has passed, I don't see any other conclusion than McCain is behind it. As a naval officer, he should be more of a gentleman than that.

Of course (I know I said I wouldn't watch -- gee, I can't help myself) BOR is going to squeeze the "controversy" over Cameron's report for all its worth. In fact, it is the subject of talking points. BOR defends the reporting because it is real news. At the same time he says he doesn't like anonymous sources and has offered 30 minutes to Gov. Palin. Slimey. They felt the heat and are trying to have it both ways. WeI don't like anonymous sources, but we're going to go with it because it is news.

Laura Ingraham is slamming the report. Bill defends Cameron's report, but at the same time says he does not give it credence. I don't think that is journalistic integrity. Sounds like spin to me.

Basically, Bill is extorting an appearance from Palin on his show to rebut the smear the promoted.

A candidate for V.P. should be able to open his pie hole without sticking both feet in it and then lying his head off, too. Tipsy Joe. Two sheets to the wind. - What DOESN’T HE know? We’ll never know, the MSM doesn’t care.

[Diogenesis]

You are very dishonest for Romney. How typical.

Gov. Pain helped citizens in her state. They GOT money from the oil companies. More under her.

Bishop/Governor ROmney imposed his socialistic/fascist HillaryCARE=RomneyCARE without a vote
just like his imposed Gay Marriage (when he violated and micturated on the Massachusetts Constitution).

Romney wiped out Massachusetts.

The five states with least favorable business climates are Califorinia (lowest ranking), New York, Michigan, New Jersey and Massachusetts.

Romney was rated a "C" overall by Cato, also because he betrayed President Bush. Here are the facts.

As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal.

Bill O’Reilly.

[SalukiLawyer]

Please tell me you don't believe the bit about Africa? It is far easier to believe someone is making something up to hurt Gov. Palin out of spite. Of course if you actually believe she was a mistake you might believe the Governor of a state didn't know about Africa.

I believe anyone who buys this garbage is predisposed to believe ill of Sarah Pail for other reasons.

Satan is only one of them :-)
