Cool! For once, AP *corrects* Palin's lies IN ITS OWN STORY
<snip> Campaigning on her own, the Alaska governor also said Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama "wants to raise income taxes and raise payroll taxes and raise investment income taxes and raise business taxes and raise the death tax."

"But John McCain and I know that's not the way you grow the economy," she added.

In fact, independent groups such as the Tax Policy Center have concluded that four out of five U.S. households would receive tax cuts under Obama's proposals.

Now there's a refreshing change. Clearly not one of Ron Fournier's stories. Wonder how this slipped past him?

1. About time.
Maybe certain people still voluntarily wearing reTHUG blinders will get a glimpse of the light.

7. First question from any reporter to McCain:
Why do you continue to lie to the American people in your speeches and advertisements?

8. McLiar & Snarky Sarah are phony Christians.
No true Christian would constantly lie like these two do.

9. They let her slide on a few other lies, though.
They took it easy on yet another instance of the "Bridge to Nowhere" lie, and also on the "Alaska produces 20% of US energy" fib. I just think the reporters aren't all that informed, or bright.

11. K & R
So many low info voters I think place a lot of emphasis on tax cuts when they are deciding who to vote for, which is why she keeps lying. We need to get this message out and shout it from the rooftops! Good find. I hope the media is getting as tired of the distortions as I am.
