This is quick, but while I'm doing some work from home I also have MSNBC on. Palin just repeated the 'Thanks but no Thanks' and the 'Ebay' lies on the stump ... Again! And she repeated the lie about firing her Chef ... again!
Please, anyone else who's paying attention, let's keep up the pressure. The media is finally beginning to discuss this blatant dishonesty for what it is ... bullshit! This campaign has put all its chips on this woman, and this woman is a liar! In the words of Al Franken, she's a lieing liar telling lies.
More importantly, she's giving us the rope we need to hang this campaign. Why are the repeating the lies? I don't know, because the evidence to the contrary is there, and frequently showing up on television.
To recap, I just heard her repeat the following lies:
- She was against the bridge to nowhere. We know she was for it, and hasn't given back the money.
- She fired her personal chef. We know this is not true as well.
- She's against pork spending. This is so blatantly false, particularly given her lobbying ties for pork, that I don't even know where to begin.
- She sold her jet on ebay. Sorry, a lie.
Let's keep on the pressure. This is already the right-wing narrative around this woman. But its a lie, and we can get out the truth!
Update: McCain is truly better on the stump with her by his side. He's not bumbling. He's not stumbling. He would sound inspiring, if his entire point was completely untrue. The whole Reformer argument rests on Palin's credibility. Eliminate that and they lose this steam, because McCain can't really be a reformer if he masterminded this chicanery.
