Alaskan leaders call Palin's "Going Rogue" a work of fiction

[steven johnson]

Sarah Palin deals with inconvenient truth by -- rewriting it. Sounds 'fair and balanced' to me, how about you?

The New York Times notes Sarah has gone 'Rogue' on the facts.

Now that former Governor Sarah Palin's book is out for all to read, some Alaska leaders say her facts are plain wrong.
In the manuscript's early pages Palin talks about the oil boom. While she says energy production and jobs were an upside, she also says downsides, like social problems for Alaska Natives, were created.

"Some Alaska Native leaders knew they must aggressively protect natural resources to which they were spiritually and physically connected." Palin writes. "Thankfully, the young state's founding fathers and mothers ensured the state constitution contained specific language guaranteeing equal rights."

But Alaska Inter-Tribal Council Executive Director Brad Garness says, "Sarah Palin has never supported tribal sovereignty, and she's made it clear she'll sell resources based solely on profit, with no respect for people who've inhabited the land since before recorded history."

3. Really? Not one? I've met both Republicans and Democrats who do lie.

So both of our evidence is purely anecdotal.

Many of us here at DU have parents, family members, and other loved ones that are Republicans. We certainly disagree politically, but I don't believe that we would make a blanket statement that they all lie, at least no more than the average person.
