Even Fox News Fact-Checks Palin's Claims About Dollar Coin
Eric Kleefeld | November 10, 2009, 6:58PM


Sarah Palin's public pronouncements have now reached an amazing point -- where even Fox News is fact-checking her.

As Fox News anchor Bret Baier noted this evening, picking up on a Politico report, Palin said this past Friday that there had been a lot of "change" of late, and talked about the dollar coin -- how the phrase "In God We Trust" had been moved to the rim of the coin, rather than on the face. "Who makes a decision like that?" said Palin, seemingly pointing to the Obama administration, adding: "It's a disturbing trend."

However, the coins were in fact commissioned in 2005 by the Republican-led government of the time. And as Baier adds, Congress acted specifically to change this in 2007, and Fox displayed a James K. Polk presidential coin with the phrase on the coin's face.

1. Palin's problem is that she's totally incapable of shutting the fuck up

It's the old, "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit" technique.

The only thing is, that she's so short of brilliance that she has to rely of 99% B.S. most, if not, all of the time.

Don't you just love how she loves to give world a piece of her mind?

She's so generous.

No matter how little she has, she's always willing to share.

6. But she's shrewd or street-smart enough

to keep herself in the news and talked about by shooting off her mouth constantly and provocatively --- and facts never mattered to Republicans. Hell, we're even talking about her here on DU.

2. Fox News & fact check ...isn't that an oxymoron?

[unapatriciated]

9. That's oxymoran

[Orsino]

3. Palin is immune to fact-checking...

...precisely because she is immune to facts.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

4. It's a year ago that she stood in front of those poor Turkeys getting slaughtered.

It's been a year, but still laughing here.

5. Where the fuck does she get her "facts"??? That coin rim change is years old, even I know that...

And I've never been a governor or dangerously close to becoming VP.

However, in fairness, it wouldn't surprise me if GWBush did not know this detail. :P

7. she's dumber than a dog turd....

8. "And I said 'thanks but no thanks' to the bridge to nowhere!"

No, in fact, she did the opposite.

But no worries...freepingly idiotic rightwingnuts LIKE being lied duped conned tricked.


That's why they watch fox 'news'.

10. Sarah Palin leading the charge to further "dumb down"

all Americans. She's a nightmare.

[xultar]

11. I would like to have been in the room when this idea came up. I bet they were

all giddy with the excitement that she found some new policy shit.

13. I think some republicans are about as thrilled about their choices as we are

They don't really like Palin, but they know she fires up the base. They are doing the same thing we do which is to vote against the opposing party instead of really voting for someone they like. How pathetic is it that neither party really like their choices but they'd rather vote their party even if they don't like their candadites rather than let the other party win. No wonder so many people don't even vote. How can we be expected to be excited about voting when these are the choices we have?
