Did a Scandal Sink the U.S.S. Palin?

The Daily Beast ^ | July 4, 2009 | Max Blumenthal

-- But why don't you hold off on the whole "reporting" thing until you have some verified facts? --

Max Blumenthal is no journalist. He's a hack, and this is merely another hit piece. That said, the [very few] facts he reports in this piece are verifiable.

[Thermalseeker]

Journalists today just go on rumor, innuendo, and "some folks say"

Not to mention "anonymous sources" and "officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity".....

There was a time in this country when editors would not go to print with such weak sources. Laimstream media nowadays is nothing more than an electronic gossip fence.....

[Eddie01]

What scandal Max?

[taxtruth]

Can someone please shut down CNN?

[ßuddaßudd]

My thoughts exactly.
This is not journalism.

[blueyon]

TRIG...The media was dishonorable to the wonderful little boy, Mothers protect their children but, she’ll be back, ya bethcha

[mad_as_he$$]

My first question is IS THERE ANOTHER QUALITY SUPPLIER IN THE AREA? Here in Reno which is bigger than Wasilla and Anchorage combined there are now only three lumber yards left. One sucks the other two compete well. IF SBS is the only decent supplier then who cares.

Alaska is a giant state with a small population. How many contractors are available to do anything?

[Mrs. P]

New rule. When Sarah Palin is mentioned in the title of a thread, there has to be a picture of her posted in the thread.

Since you know how to post pictures and I don’t, can you please put one of Sarah on here too? Maybe two?

[Hildy]

Let’ just put every unsubstantiated rumor out threre and see which sticks. That is the state of media today.

[mplsconservative]

I think Hawk720 likes to spread manure about Palin...

[balls]

Keeping in mind that the MSM is the DNC, I ignore them until they have facts to present.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

More nonsense that the anklebiters have been floating around in Alaska for some time now.

[bgill]

And just how many construction material suppliers are their in that part of the country. I’d wager not many...

Actually, there appears to be 67 buiding contractors listed in the Wasilla yellow pages. About 40 of them are within a half hour's drive. Spenard Building Supplies claims to be Alaska's largest building materials supplier so could very easily come in under other bids for the contract for their house and for the Sports Complex. It's not like a small local or family run business could take on such a huge project as a sports complex so bidders would be limited. Since they are also statewide, they have the funds to sponsor Todd and I would imagine they also sponsor local school sports and advertize with professional teams.

[Servant of the Cross]

I'd be DELIGHTED to.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!! RUN SARAH, RUN!

[jwparkerjr]

re: I can’t and I’m 50

Well, I can take us back another 17 years and assure you I can't either!

It's going to get rough and tumble, but regardless of how bad it gets my money is on the USS Palin!

[Royal Wulff]

public records revealed that SBS supplied the materials for the house

Wow, a building supply company supplied building supplies. Scandal.

[Iron Munro]

The mad dog, foaming-at-the-mouth persecution of Sarah by the media and the state organs of the USSR of Obama continues apace.

[RobbyS]

CNN seems interested is spreading this rumor....would have been nice had they been interested in vetting candidate Obama. I have some questions...like, where was he born? How’d he get into the Ivy League? Was it affirmative action? What drugs did he take in college? Did he sell drugs? How/why did his wife get a $100,000 per year pay increase after his state senate committee found $2 mil for her hospital? What was Rezko’s role in his mortgage...$2 million dollar home on the pay of a state senator? What water did Obama carry for the Daley machine? Why is nobody interested in this stuff? Funny who gets investigated isn’t it?

What are you, some right wing nut? All those questions were fully addressed by Obama at a press conference last year /sarc.
