Yet Another Lie, This Time "Confirmed" By the NYT (Except, You Know, It Wasn't Confirmed)
— Ace

Sarah Palin, member of the Alaskan Independence Party?

How about a lifelong registered Republican?

Kos, defensive about his own involvement in pushing Trig Trutherism, claimed that his Krazy Koz Kidz were investigating lots of angles here, and pointed specifically to the AIP claim as one that had been a confirmed hit.

Um, no. Still wrong, Koz.

Assuming she courted the AIP for votes: And? Rudy Giuliani, if memory serves, secured both the endorsement of the "fringe" Conservative Party and the "fringe" Liberal Party in his re-election bid. He was on three lines on the ballot: Republican, Liberal, Conservative.

The AIP was something of a force in Alaska politics, at least in the nineties, according to the Hot Air link. It's a bit amazing to me that the lefties think nothing of Obama courting terrorists, and yet Palin is somehow unfit because she sought (maybe) support from a minor conservative party in Alaska.

Not Even That Fringe-y: So says the Politico.

The party's mostly about reducing federal control over Alaska (a serious annoyance to residents) and putting Alaskan lands back under Alaskan state control.

There are also secessionists in the party. And?

The Democratic Party has secessionists too-- and we get to hear from them every time they lose an election. There were a welter of "Let's secede from Bush's Amerikkka" opinion pieces after the 2004 election, for example. All written by lifelong liberals and card-carrying liberals.

Coalition politics involves, get this, coalitions. A lot of different people can march under one banner.

And Hey, What About Obama's Hawaiian Secessionist Pandering? Or whatever.

1 And by "investigating lots of angles", they mean "making shit up".

3 The sad thing is, most right leaning pundits were willing to believe this crap on its face after all the other lies their colleagues fed them and pawn it off on their readers...well not most, just a few very specific ones who do not need to be named, but who every one knows... It's like going through Maliki in Basra all over again. I'd rather them be corrupt and deviously intelligent than this hysterical and dumb. Andrew Sullivan looks composed in comparison...

4 Next rumor: Sarah Palin flies the Confederate flag at her home.

5 Next rumor #2: Sarah Palin had another Downs Syndrome baby before Trig, but something 'happened' to it.

6 Sarah Palin?

Bitch turned me into a newt!

I got better.

7 So, what now, we wait until fake but accurate documents are manufactured to "prove" Palin's membership to AIP?

Maybe even a video from 1990 "found" and mysterioulsy resurfaced showing some lady in her mid-40's saying, "Bristol, put down the camera. Bristol. Bristol. I'm Sarah Palin, future governor of Alaska, and I'm a member of the Alaskan Independence Party."

8 Seriously, when you start out your rumor monging with "She's a witch!" (OMG her kids are named Willow and Piper, they were witches on some show somewheres) where else do you really have to go. Time to start frying up some kittens... in baby seal blubber... with virgin menses reduction for sweetness.

I'm suprised PETA has not threatned to do everything in their power to prevent her election. Which brings me to rumour #423

Palin raises sled dogs in a puppy mill and sells the scrawny ones to korean resturants.

10 This just in: Sarah Palin's down's syndrome child is actually Caylee Anthony. Her husband is Saddam Hussein after plastic surgery in Cuba before Hallie Barry and Pierce Brosnan blew up the facility.

11 "Krazy Koz Kidz were investigating lots of angles..."

Lots of angles on a 20-sided die.... just sayin'....

12 As I recall, America was started by an "independence" movement.

Wackos and traitors, the lot of 'em, right, Koz?

(See, I say that, and then I think Actually, yeah, those nutters prolly do think the American revolution was bad and shit.)

13 Ant the Times says absolutely NOTHING about the radical, left-wing, New Party, whose endorsement Barry actively sought (and won) for his State Senate run. The irony of it all is breathtaking.

And Hmm, ACORN was heavily involved. Was that where he developed his contacts with that patently corrupt organization?

14 In the 21st century, so called "journalists" have agendas and they MAKE THINGS UP. Get used to it.

15 There is a whole new cottage industry devoted to creating rumors about Sarah Palin.

As a family instead of watching the evening news we have started playing a new game lets make crazy ass stories up about Sarah Palin.

My 17 year old son (btw he did not have anything to do with Bristol getting pregnant) created the best rumor: John McCain is the father of Trig and Bristol's expected baby. That is why he picked Sarah to be his running mate to cover-up this far reaching scandal.

16 This shit is making me extremely angry.

John McCain is also Bristol's father.

And he's Sarah Palin's father, too.

And Todd Palin's father as well.

John McCain fathered 99% of the population of Alaska.

No lie. I read it on Koz.

Hey kid, need a job?

Let's review:

Trig is not Sarah's baby - FAIL

Palins hiding Bristol's pregnancy - FAIL

Palin committed a felony - FAIL

Palin endorsed Pat Buchanan in 2000 - FAIL

Palin joined crackpot secessionist party - FAIL

Keep up the good work, media!!

Question: Why is there a little girl in the background of Sullivan's illustration on his blog?

Is he a pedophile?

It's a legitimate question since it has shown up on such a mainstream blog as Ace.

And the two dogs... what's going on there?

Hummmmmm...

This is why you are one of the most brilliant minds on the Right.

Rumor #537: Sarah Palin once killed a guy just to watch him die. Of course, he had just walked across her lawn, so he had it coming.

23 Ahem...LafuckingRaza? I'd rather have an endorsed Independance Movement candidate on the ticket, than someone so beholden to the NEA/AFL-CIO/AFSCME etc....

Only black secession is good secession, Mr. Charlie. Not that white stuff, but the Wright stuff.

25 Michell Obama is actually Baracks sister, why does this not get more coverage.

Posted by: biscuiteater at September 02, 2008 03:06 PM (2JF/+)

26 Rumor rumor everywhere, and not a drop of truth. If the right had gone after Obama's mom, or insinuated that BHO is not the father of his two children, the way the left is going after Palin, there would have earth shattering wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Nothing like a little hypocrisy to flavor the election.

27 Michelle Obama is a man. At least, until they decide to release evidence (s)he isn't.

The kids? Oprah's.

28 The kids MUST be kept out of it. If they were Ophras kids, they would be fat and ugly.Leave them alone.

Posted by: biscuiteater at September 02, 2008 05:01 PM (2JF/+)

They do it cuz its effective

A guy i work with came into my office this morning saying "did you hear about the crazy secessionist party she was a member of"? I said, no, where did you hear that?" Oh- ABC- Ill believe it when I see it"

By afternoon it was totally, laughably, debunked as a lie. But now its in the heads of 10s of thousands as truth. That could be enough. The left knows this is how it works- the rumor becomes truth, the debunking isnt even heard.

Even that little eater of his own shit, frito, was spewing these lies-uttered-as-truth this morning.
