The Huffington Post has obtained internal McCain campaign emails -- addressed to and by the former vice presidential candidate -- that directly contradict or cast serious doubt on several of Palin's assertions. The emails were passed along by a mid-level staffer who called early excerpts of "Going Rogue", "a serious mixing of truth and imagination."
All told, the three emails provided to the Huffington Post are the clearest contradictions yet of the account of the campaign that Palin painted in her book.
Far from being eager to go on SNL, Palin - according to the emails - showed trepidation.
Meanwhile, McCain's campaign manager, Steve Schmidt, in the aftermath of the Sarkozy gaffe, doesn't direct his anger to Palin over the phone. But rather, according to two aides, he directs his anger at staffers via email.
And while Palin goes to great lengths in "Going Rogue" to paint the McCain campaign manager as tempermental and constantly opposed to allowing her to play a bigger role on the trail, just days before the election she was expressing her "love" for the help he had provided in covering up her blunders.
Reflecting on it all, the campaign aide who provided the emails said the following of the book:
"There are elements of truth underlying a narrative that is completely false."

The obsession continues.
yeah, they just never let go, do they?
Yes, we wish she would go away. W did enough damage, and shes twice as dumb.
It's funny that I checked the Huffington post and I can't find a story about Jefferson, the disgraced dem congressman from Louisianna. He got convicted for bribery and got 13 years. I didn't see it on the lib networks either. How can Fox be the only one giving us the information. Oh well. Now we know we Fox kicks everyone elses butts. Yeah....let's keep talking about Palin.
It is fairly obvious that Fox News kicks butt. Look at the ratings. No matter how much they bitch and moan and poke fun of O'Rielly and Beck, the trust and proof are in the ratings. It infuriates them to no end!
I was not a big fan of Bush, but what I see now is another round of Jimmy Carter! I am old enough to remember that era--and believe me--that is an era that no one should EVER want repeated! It was miserable!!!
Jefferson was never a potential presidential candidate. He was not a national figure.
He could never have done the kind of damage to this country that Palin could do if she were ever elected to the White House.
Which probably will never happen. The American people aren't that stupid.
"Which probably will never happen. The American people aren't that stupid." CJP
So the fact that you can't stop talking about her proves your obsession. Why should you worry?
What damage would she do, in your opinion CJP? Seriously. I would like to know.

Good point Casey. It couldn't be worse than the damage Obama's doing.
I can't imagine worse. No one would spend as much.
CJP
They understand so little.
Faux is this repetitive noise in their heads that brainwashes them.
Like the bible and church and Sunday school. After enough repetition, pretty soon you believe the craziest things. And they understand the fact, they actually are taught the fact, just keep repeating it, and whatever you believe will be true.
Scary.
RG
blah.....blah.....blah......
Same crap all the time.
CJP: I was hoping that you would tell me what Sarah Palin could do that makes you so frightened?

Don't want to talk about Jefferson? How about talking about Obama lying to us about his "job creations"? According to your logic, I'm sure you will talk about this since he is the sitting president. Palin just ran. Obama won. Let's see your comments about that.
forgot to add the link for you to read CJP. I'm so interested in your take on this. Here you go:
http://abcnews.go.com/Business/abc-news-exclusive-obama-administration-slashed-60000-jobs/story?id=9095621
Just want to add that I didn't even get this from FOX.
What's your problem with this one, HOTR? I don't understand what your issue is.
The administration reported that the stimulus had created or saved over 640,000 jobs.
An additional 60,000 jobs, which had been reported, were omitted by the Obama administration because that figure was incorrect. If those 60,000 jobs had been included, it would have swelled the total to over 700,000 jobs.
So -- the Obama administration is committed to giving us an accurate and honest figure on job creation. That total comes to 640,000 jobs saved or created by the stimulus package. That's a pretty good number. The other 60,000 jobs, which had been erroneously reported, were removed from the report.
What's your problem?
CJP said...

No problem. Just pointing out another case of misleading the public.

CJP
Yeah right. He got busted so he had to correct. This wasn't voluntary. But that's ok. We're supposed to believe every word he says like we're brainwashed. I could go over tons of his misleading info.
Please do. It doesn't have to be tons. Pounds would be enough.
CJP said...
Please do. It doesn't have to be tons. Pounds would be enough.
Let's see:
-health care bill won't include illegal immigrants.
-no lobbyists in the white house.
-bills will be posted online for 3 days for the public to see.
-95% of people won't see their taxes go up.
-didn't know ACORN was receiving federal money.
-March 27: I have a comprehensive plan for Afghan war.
-eliminate capital gains tax for small businesses. yeah right
-no more earmarks
do you want more?
That's a good start.
CJP said...
That's a good start.
Do you understand why we don't want to follow him blindly like you libs do? You wouldn't follow somebody blindly who misled you so many times, would you CJP?
YOu are right on HOTR! I am especially pissed off about the Bills that were supposed to be posted for all to see before the vote. Instead, they don't even give them time to read them before they want them to vote on them.
The whole "transparency" thing was a big fat lie!
Here CJP. This is something that you might want to write about. This will be Obama in 20 years. Rationalizing the terrible job he did like Carter.
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/world/2009-11/17/content_8984162.htm
Or you could talk about this. This is a great one. More misleading that you libs can believe.

More government telling me what to do.
"But it's telling that Palin intends to twist the meaning of "rogue" -- an untrustworthy and unprincipled person -- into its very opposite."

Cons just don't really understand words that much.

"More government telling me what to do." Silly comment!!
This is exactly what I want government to handle. I want them to keep us safe from criminals and terrorists. I want them to make sure our roads are drivable. What I don't want is them to tell me I need to have government health care. I don't want them to tax me to death. I don't want them to tell me how much I should get paid, I don't want them to redistribute our wealth. I don't them them rationalize raising me from the cradle to the grave.
"I don't want is them to tell me I need to have health care"

I just want to run free. I know best. I know I won't get sick. Again, the cons swan song.
blah.....blah......blah.....blah
cutandpasteGun strikes again!
How obvious is it to everyone by now that RG can't say anything intelligent?
HOTR, you are naive to the extreme.
What is cut and paste?
RayGun said...
HOTR, you are naive to the extreme.
This is extremely funny. To think that you of all people would call anyone naive is hilarious.
"What is cut and paste?"
It means that you say the same thing over and over again. It's either FOX, Bus, The Bible, Cons or Palin. It's like you move your mouth all kinds of different ways but you keep saying the same thing. Just read all the comments you've posted. They all say one or more of the above. It really gets boring.
Bus = Bush
Sorry
Yes HOTR, you cons, particularly you, in your simple mindedness, and repetitiveness, is ..., actually, scary. You just don't learn.
Bus = Bush

That's ok, we know you are blabbering again. Like w and Palin. No real use for words.
"I just want to run free. I know best. I know I won't get sick. Again, the cons swan song."
Ain't no con swan song here my friend because I pay for my shit.
"That's ok, we know you are blabbering again. Like w and Palin. No real use for words."
Dam RG. You just can't wait to prove my point! LOL
blah.....blah......blah.......blah,FOX, Bush, The Bible, Cons, Palin ...blah,blah,blah
Brought to you by cutandpasteGun.
HOTR, you haven't the foggiest clue about the meaning of words.
LOL! Palin just gave Obama a 4 for his job performance!! LOL! This is gonna drive you libs crazy!! LOL. CutandpasteGun, I guess we'll get some more gems from you.
Again, HOTR, invest in a dictionary, then actually read it.
You, w, Palin, Bachmann, most cons, don't actually read real literature.
Read and learn. Words are knowledge.
I could imagine the vein pumping on your neck RG. I can't wait to see the news channels when they show Palin rating Obama a 4 out of 10! lol I can't wait until Obama's feel obligated to defend his lowsy performance. lol. A "four"! That's pretty close to total disgust in the job he's done for the American people!! lol
"Palin rating Obama a 4 out of 10!"

Dear HOTR, Palin, like many cons, are a simple minded fools. She, and most cons, don't really understand the meaning of anything...
A "4"!! Haha
Sorry RG. I couldn't help myself.
Hey CJP---I am reading "Culture of Corruption" by Michelle Malkin ----(but before you get your panties in a wad, I just finished "Lies and the lying liars who tell them" by Al Franken)But my point is this...even if only 1/10th of what is in this book is true, we should all be VERY disturbed! You might want to check it out.
Tracey, I read Frankens book on the lying right, and most everyone knows that right lies a lot. Just look at Faux News, W, Palin, all of Frankens subjects in his book, on and on.
You think Franken was lying? He also has another book, [Truth, With Jokes] which is also very good.
I read an article on CNN by Malkin about Palin. I knew who Malkin was, and looked briefly at her web site, but never really read anything of hers. The CNN article wasn't very good, in my opinion, as her writing style (fake intellectualism???) was not appealing to me.
Sounds like at least your a right wing nut that actually reads more than the bible and history books. :-)

Here RG. Try reading this. lol. I love it when the left calls us crazy. Here's the left in California worrying about tv's. lol. Sounds suspiciously like the left trying to tell us what to do. lol. No wonder CA is in an economic disaster. This is what they think about. Much more important that addressing the economic crisis they're having. lol
Wow! There's tons of stuff to read. I don't even have to turn on FOX to know Obama's approval is in the toilet. Read this:
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2009/11/18/2009-11-18_quinnipiac_poll_president_obamas_approval_rating_drops_below_50.html
Looks like Palin was right. You know she gave Obama a "4" out of 10 for his job performance. I think she was being too nice. According to the poll, so does most people. lol. This man will never get re-elected. Dems might have to run a primary.
More democrats ruining a state. Shame it's my state. Read this one:
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2009/11/18/2009-11-18_69_of_new_yorkers_fear_state_will_run_out_of_cash.html
CJP and RG have opened my eyes. I don't have to watch FOX to see how bad the democrats are and how much damage they cause. Thanks guys. lol
Hey, RayGun: Do you ever read anything by ANYONE that you don't agree with? I mean, it takes some concentration and dedication to read something longer than a website article, but can be well worth it. Only then can you claim to be well informed.
:)
Casey, I read Atlas Shrugged, over 1000 pages. It really, really sucked in my opinion.
What should I read Casey?
RayGun said...
What should I read Casey?
Sarah Palin's book just went on sale. lol
Like I said before, try "Culture of Corruption" and you can even do it on the premise that you will only believe 1/10th of it---even before you open it up. It should scare the Hell out of you.
Just go ahead and make up your mind ahead of time that 90% of it might be BS (in your opinion) and after reading it, see if you still want to keep your blind faith in this administration.
"Culture of Corruption", JC Casey, are you suggesting compare government corruption, compared to corporate corruption? In the USA?
uh, yes, RayGun. Seems that the 2 are rather intertwined these days. Doesn't just happen on the Republican side. Real eye opener.
Freaks me out that these people are making decisions for us. Kinda kills the idea that they have our best interest at heart. Also shows why so many leave office as multi millionaires!
