This is a front page article in SportingNews.com "Since its release, Sarah Palin's book, "Going Rogue" has been somewhat picked apart for factual errors. From a sports angle, there is no factual error that will get a better laugh than this one: In her new book, "Going Rogue," former vice presidential nominee attributes a quote to UCLA basketball coaching legend John Wooden. The only problem is that he didn't say it. "Our land is everything to us...I will tell you one of the things we remember on our land. We remember our grandfathers paid for it -- with their lives." It's a nice quote, but it really doesn't sound like something that Wooden would say. It was actually written by Native American activist John Wooden Legs in his essay "Back on the War Ponies." Who should be more embarrassed: Palin or the fact checkers that let this one get through? Either way, "Going Rogue" is your No. 1 choice for your favorite sports fan who enjoys unintentional comedy this holiday season." ...
Great example. Maybe you should read more, yes?
“And I should agree with you and shut up, or even, I should agree with you and trust her?”
Good example of number 4 in my previous post. “Attribute statements to others that they never made.” I wrote that it was coming soon, and sure enough, here it is.
A reasonable person would know that the proper response is to give honest consideration to the position I offered. You, though, chose to impose a ridiculously extreme interpretation on it, and pretend that’s what I said. That’s one way that libs sidestep arguments on the merits, and you sure continue to argue like a lib.
“Sorry, dsc, sorry Sarah, my trust has to be earned.”
Utter nonsense. She has done so many things to justify trust that a person has to be willfully ignoring them to make a statement like that.
“Sarah’s established a bit of a precedent of not over-preparing (going in like to Couric/Gibson interviews expecting to be lobbed the same sort of softballs Obama got)”
If you had been paying any attention to threads here, you’d understand that she was hobbled and gagged by McLame’s campaign boys. Any blame for the interviews goes to them, not to her.
“I’d like to see her put in some hard work (no ghost writer) toward trying to swing her movement’s advance back around to the first direction a few times.”
No, you wouldn’t. If you had any interest in that, you could have taken any of dozens of opportunities to satisfy it.
“Like I done told Blue Collar Christian, maybe I’m “once bitten, thrice shy”, but I don’t trust any politician much. Maybe I’d do well in Missouri.”
Just pick a blue state. Those are your kind of people. It’s nonsense to think you’ve been bitten even once, and the only way a person could labor under that misconception would be if he were relying solely upon leftard propaganda to feed his opinions. Which would account for your coming in here citing one leftist source after another, as though people here are dim enough to be taken in by that.
“and this to dsc, too - were you starting to get New Year’s Eve drunk when you wrote that you didn’t trust my sourcing on Palin’s John Wooden/John Wooden Legs gaffe?

You should read your own sources. One representative reply is at post 50:
“If you had read the posting at the link, you would see that the author actually cites and links to a book that quotes the original essay that John Wooden Legs wrote. 12/02/2009 11:33:07 AM PST · by GreaterSwiss · 160 replies · 4,168+ views”
Guess none of those 4,168+ views was yours, or you would have known that this issue had already been discussed and dealt with.
“This is a front page article in SportingNews.com”
Do you suppose that because it has the word “sporting” in the name, it’s not contaminated by libtard filth? They think they are laughing at the book’s “factual errors,” but if this one is representative, they are laughing at their own delusions. Classic libtard behavior.
The reality is that she does not quote “legendary basketball coach John Wooden,” and her citation quotes the original essay that John Wooden Legs wrote.
So why does SportingNews.com say what they say? Because they are leftists, and all leftists lie all the time. And there you are, not only believing them, but trying to spread their lie.
Hmmm.
