The Observation Deck

Here's what factcheck.org has come up with while trying to look into all the speculation about Sarah Palin.

Hmmmm, some of those sound very familiar. Now where did I see people repeating those claims?

I suppose the next claim will be that this is just another Republican propoganda sight.

Everyone should be strongly encouraged to look at all of the articles on this fine site including:

He made some flubs in accepting the nomination.

Palin trips up on her facts...

Maverick Misleads
A McCain ad comparing Palin to Obama isn't all above board.

GOP Convention Spin
Lieberman and Thompson make misleading claims about Obama...

(republican friends, please don't be afraid to follow those links!)


Another good site:

I certainly am not afraid to follow the truth and I don't believe I've used any of the Palin slimes mentioned in the article and I don't recall seeing any here on LO (but I haven't read every post)... there are plenty of issues surrounding this VP pick that are frighteningly true.

and don't forget...

Bret (and others), you may also be interested in this site, which is a sort of clearinghouse for Palin rumors. The guy's clearly Pro-Palin, but he provides copious links to back himself up.

It is getting a bit difficult to filter out fact from fiction, but that's what happens when you put forward a relative unknown and give everyone five days to try and figure out who she is and where she's coming from before nominating her.

All I have to say is Morning Star Ministries, church of Ricky Joyner and Jim Jones.

I am still trying to figure out why Democrats didn't want to follow that link.

It would seem most were eager to follow that link, provide other links that talk of both sides, and many, many check the facts links.

And of course it posted as a c&p, if someone would be so kind it would be appreicated.

Thank you - the cranky old woman of the board.

that was a good Palin Link.

Here is a link to general facts about Republican Alaska:

Obviously Palin isn't responsible for most of these features of Alaska. It is an astute run down of taxation and spending though. I liked the part comparing Alaska to OPEC. It makes me wonder what Atlantic and Pacific coast states would do if very much more oil were extracted within the latitudes of their coast lines.
