Palin hates the USA

[Larry Gude (Premo)]

...the sake of actually addressing the issue, let's just address it;

The article asks;

How is this any better than Jeremiah Wright?

According to the article, taking the article at face value, she was a member 14 years ago. Barack Obama was Wright disciple up to about, what, 14 minutes ago? A month? Two?

If the article is 100% accurate, and it appears it is not, even then, this is another non starter in the battle to discredit Palin.

It's practically impossible to make a "Country First" argument when your running mate is affiliated with a political party that puts country second.

is that like supporting an organization that believes Africa is more important then the U.S.?

So you have an arguably crazy woman who says she was and did, and you ahve written records refuting that.

Not exactly a fact filled story for CBS news to run with now is it.

I love the crap they dig up now that she's on the VP ticket. They did the same with her husband and the DUI he got when he was like 20 years old. They will dredge up anything to make someone look bad.

The ghosts of Mary Mapes and Dan Rather are still lurking in the halls at CBS, apparently.

Woo woo. They should have done a better job of sourcing their story in the first place.

Because that's how it works, of course. They run a huge headline with some lie they made up, then issue a retraction buried somewhere. But the damage has already been done, and they know it.

CBS did this with the Bush AWOL papers and it cost a few people their jobs.

How about Dkos issueing some retractions too. All they did was delete the pages. Jerks.

I wonder in their haste to biatch slap Palin if they didn't properly vett their source for a story about vetting.

Generally anyone who is quoted mentioning "covering up cat turds" to a national reporter is a bit on the Coo- Coo side.

OK CBS, FIRE Steve Benen!!
