Not by any stretch. Biden got more votes in primaries after he dropped out than live in Wasilla in total. His total in Florida was just over 15,000. Wasilla last population estimate was under 9,000.
This is not exactly a lie, but almost certainly either an lame exaggeration or cheap hyperbole.
No amount of sophistry, rationalizing, or fum fumming can change the fact that Sarah Palin got up there, and in front of millions of people, stared directly into the camera, and LIED.
Many politicians say things that are not true. Fine, whatever. Usually they say these things knowing that they got some form of cheap semantics they can pull right out of their asses if anyone ever calls them on it. Some tricky way of looking at numbers, some quote taken out of context, etc., just enough to cover their asses and show how what they just said cannot be seen as a total lie. Like what Huckabee said about Biden not getting as many votes for President as Palin got for Mayor. Not even close to true, and anyone who looks will see that. But heck, he was exaggerating, using hyperbole. Not lying. Or at least he can claim.
But very few politicians would ever dare something that is so fundamentally a lie like Pailn just did. Twice.
She raised taxes in Alaska, she didn't lower them. She lied.
She was NEVER AGAINST THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE. SHE SUPPORTED IT. Again, and there is no spin that could save her here, SHE LIED.
Don't even get me started about how much she lied about Obama.
She is now officially a piece of shit. The gall of this woman to say whatever she wants and thinking nobody is going to care enough that she is lying.
She is a liar. A scummy, lousy, piece of shit liar. May there be people at every single campaign stop she ever goes to chanting that at her for the rest of her life.
Make sure to point out that Sarah Palin is a bold faced liar, and do so in every single thing you write until November. It is unacceptable to let this kind of shit go by.
Sarah Palin is a liar. Never stop saying it.
Say it with me kids, over and over. Sarah Palin got up on stage tonight and looked straight into the camera and lied. Several times. She didn't embellish, or exaggerate, or use hyperbole. She lied. And we cannot let get away with it.
She is a liar.
Completely and totally. She did not embellish, or exaggerate, or use hyperbole, as all other politicians would do. She lied. The media cannot seriously let her get away with getting up on stage, looking straight into the camera, and telling outrageous lies to the American public like that.
So say it over and over again, as many times as you can to as many people as you can. Sarah Palin is a liar.
I'm so glad Obama is showing he's coming back out at them again. I understand that its a kind of political logic to think that you have to lie low during your opponent's convention, but McCain kinda already broke that rule when he picked Gov. lying scumbag as his runningmate to step on the Dem bounce.
I am so looking forward to watching Biden and Obama get into tearing these two phony reformers to shreds, now that their financial restrictions of not being the official nominee is lifted. Now we outspend the GOP 5-1 from tomorrow straight through to November.
Oh, and just because it can never be said enough: Sarah Palin is a liar.
I hope you take that crazy nutjob and the old guy's heads clear off their shoulders and drink blood wine outta their skulls.
It's going to be very odd to see her low brow, self serving, passive aggressive crap used for good.
Oh, and because it must be said every single moment of every single day till November- not only is Palin a nutjob and a homophobic bigot, she is a complete and total liar.
Sarah Palin is a liar. She lied in front of 37 million viewers Wednesday night. Not embellished, not exaggerated, she didn't use hyperbole, she didn't even just distort her own record, she outright lied. Seriously, if she was under oath at the convention she'd be in jail right now for perjury.
Sarah Palin is a liar. Say it with me kids, over and over, to everyone you know. Sarah Palin is a liar.
She legally has all the required experience, and the experience angle is a waste of time. I've never been big about it myself, either against Obama, or now Palin.
However, that does not change the fact that Sarah Palin is a liar. A lying piece of shit, if you will, and should be called out as such at every opportunity.
I expect the MSM to look the other way on this stuff. After all, its makes them money to keep this election artifically close by slanting their reporting. But the fact that Salon won't talk about this at all is really kind of annoying.
Again, to reiterate, Sarah Palin is a liar.
