Palin Accuses AP Of Doing "Opposition Research" In Fact Check of Book

[meegbear]

Former Alaska Governor lashed out at the Associated Press Sunday for doing a fact-check on her memoir, "Going Rogue."

"Amazingly, but not surprisingly, the AP somehow nabbed a copy of the book before it was released," she wrote on her Facebook page. "They're now erroneously reporting on the book's contents and are repeating many of the same things they spewed during the campaign and afterwards. We've heard 11 writers are engaged in this opposition research, er, "fact checking" research!"

The AP reported that Palin's account often contradicted her record as well as current events. Her depiction of the McCain campaign is also frequently at odds with internal campaign emails.

1. God, she is awful.

She needs to just go away.

[tavalon]

18. I'm leaning toward not having her go away

People have really short attention spans and they might forget by 2012 that she is this stupid. We need to keep the stupid fresh in people's minds. You and I would never ever vote for her but the morons need to get fully sick of her stupidity. So let's let her fly her stupid flag proudly.

[Forkboy]

26. I don't know. I think her being out there helps us.

Sure it's torture in the meantime, but I think her usefulness extends to about November of 2012. :)

[rucky]

2. How did the press get their hands on an advance copy?

That's unheard of!

:rofl:

[luvspeas]

3. I guess she thinks they should only report the things she got right!...

:freak:

[HughMoran]

4. This is the most sickening soap opera in US history

We've had some duesys, but the media is promoting this sham more than any that I can remember, though McLame gets a lot of the credit for nominating this bimbo in the fist place :eyes:

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

5. To make matters even more depressing, she still has a good chance of

being a national political figure. Why? Because the M$M is making her into one. :puke::puke:

[Javaman]

22. She'll devolve into a talk show host. Frankly, that's what I think she's

trying her best to become.

I think she knows she's become part of the political waste bin. Now she's on to become one of the group of talking heads on the talk show circuit.

She'll throw her hat in the ring for 2012. More out of massive ego and free publicity than anything else. She will lose on a massive scale, use that as a rallying cry for her moron followers, have an instant audience to follow every word of her inane utterances, which will guarantee ratings.

That is until the next election cycle when she doesn't run. Then she will officially be a has been. Her ratings will tank as the people that follow her realize she has no substance and just repeats the same crap over and over. But by that point, she will have made enough money to quit (like aways lol) and go on the circuit as an "expert" in third party candidates.

She will finish out her fame as an angry old hag who will never understand why people just didn't love her.

25. My thoughts are turning violent!

SHUT UP! just SHUT UP!!

:puke:

[saltpoint]

6. Those cantankerous liberals over at the Associated Press!

The liberal media strikes again.

[niyad]

7. unemployed blogger and faux writer $'error is so stupid she doesn't realize that people

aren't going to just take her word for things--that, oh, horror of horrors, someone might actually call her on her bs?

get off the stage, sarah, just get off the stage. you are a complete embarassment to real human beings.

[justgamma]

8. Heard on the "news" today that there hasn't been

this much fanfair for a book release, since the release of Barack Obama's book. I wonder what book they were talking about, because I sure don't remember any hoopla surrounding any of his books. What book do you think they were talking about? Did I sleep through it?

[Javaman]

23. Obama's fanfare was for people yearning for a breath of fresh air

her fanfare is for people who love to drive slow past an accident.

[euphoria12leo]

9. Palin's witch doctor

is working overtime because we can't get rid of her.


:shrug:

[tanyev]

10. Yes, because the truth has a well-known liberal bias.

[tammywammy]

11. + 1 n/t

[HipChick]

12. Palin is the Political Ballon Boy for the media

looks shiny on the outside but nothing inside..

[madmax]

15. On the mark analogy -

should be a bumper sticker.

[Historic NY]

13. The copy probably came from a neo-con faux news source like Newsmax...

aren't they shilling for the book.

[tammywammy]

14. LOL! Excellent coment to Palin

Zoey Nestor: I wouldn't spend a dime on this book but it will be very interesting to hear all the analysis in weeks to come. This is probably the first time that a schizophrenic, narcissistic, looney person has actually documented their resentments, false memories and delusions in a book. Luckily, she had a ghost-writer do it so she will have someone to blame for "misunderstanding" and "misinterpeting" her. That's what she does.

[onehandle]

16. Ugh. Useless quitter. nt

[AzDar]

17. The truth has a liberal bias... don'tcha know?

Good. Gawd.

[tavalon]

19. Also, too and you betchya!

[NRaleighLiberal]

20. "Fact check" vs "Belief system". Not worth even bothering. The Right don't use/need facts!

Therein lies the problem - if the left continues to expect the greater public to pay attention to such things as facts, they are wasting their time. This is a group of people that are incredibly easily manipulated.

[graywarrior]

21. She's a collossal pin stuck in our eyes

This is all the media's fault, making an insane narcissist credible.

[liberalmuse]

24. What an arrogant piece of shit she is.

She is fucking evil. I'm serious.
