A Sarah Palin Double Billing
September 17, 2008 at 6:03 am
While the media diligently fact checks everything Sarah Palin says — fair enough — it’s interesting to see when the media gets its own facts wrong about Sarah Palin.
Consider today’s Washington Post corrections box: a rare double-correction for one subject matter.
This:
CORRECTIONS: A Sept. 7 Page One article incorrectly identified a mother and daughter who were in the maternity ward at Mat-Su Regional Medical Center at the same time Sarah Palin was there delivering her baby, Trig. The mother is Jennifer Krueger of Wasilla, Alaska, who gave birth to daughter Haylee Davison.
And this:
CLARIFICATION: A Sept. 12 Page One article quoted Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin as telling a brigade of Iraq-bound soldiers that they would “defend the innocent from the enemies who planned and carried out and rejoiced in the death of thousands of Americans.” The report linked Palin’s comments with the idea that Saddam Hussein was connected to the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. Tracey Schmitt, a spokeswoman for the McCain-Palin campaign, said Palin was referring to al-Qaeda in Iraq, a terror group that formed after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 and claims to be allied with the global al-Qaeda organization.
Whether it’s a maternity ward in Alaska or the fight against al-Qaeda in Iraq, it’s good to see fact-checking working both ways.

Sarah Palin is connected to Scientology. Here’s how:
She has been, and still continues to be, deeply involved with the ultra-right-wing “Dominionist” church movement. READ THIS:

The main nexus for the Dominionists is the “Committee on National Policy”, which strangely includes non-Christian organizations such as, yes, The Church of Scientology.
The leading “Dominionist” church is MorningStar ministries, which despite being a Christian church, leans heavily on “supernatural” themes and blatantly uses the Scientology Cross in their logo:

Yeah, and she’s a terrorist who wants to make all women run on a line between the kitchen and the bedroom.
Sheesh what a moron you are.

Anonymumpsy,
Time to take your meds. And, if you’re really cooperative, I promise the orderlies will take you to the hospital cafeteria for ice cream.

Her email just got hacked. It was hacked by a hacking group called “Anonymous”. “Anonymous” has also hacked the Church of Scientology.
Coincidence? I don’t think so.

They are wrong on both counts. The groupl al-Tawhid wal-Jihad, is now called Al Qaeda in Irag (aka AQ in Mesopotamia), was formed in the 90s by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. The group changed its name and declared allegiance to Osama Bin Laden’s global Al Qaeda in October 2004.

Anonymumpsy,
You’ve left this same stupid crap on at least two blogs that I’ve seen in the last hour.
Put another layer of tin foil on your hat, and get some help.

Like the liberals are really concerned with the truth. They’re still convinced that Cuba has better health care than the US…

Sarah Palin was exposed to gamma radiation, and you wouldn’t like her when she’s angry.
