Audacity of Truth
"Change" You Can Believe In:
"Nixon didn’t try to do that. They couldn't control (the media). They didn’t try. [...] What the hell do they think we are, puppets?"

More from the “inclusive” and “tolerant” left
Via Jim Geraghty:
Richard Cohen compares McCain picking Palin to Caligula nominating his horse to be a priest and consul.
Hmmm. Sounds like he’s been bitten by the hatred bug he accused his fellow lefties of having over Bush back in 2006.
And Howie Kurtz reports on what liberal talk show host Ed Schultz had to say about Gov. Sarah Palin today on his radio show:
Liberal radio host Ed Schultz was telling listeners Monday that Palin was an “empty pantsuit” who had set off a “bimbo alert.” Shortly afterward, the pregnancy statement was released and, without missing a beat, Schultz said her daughter’s situation was relevant because the governor is a champion of moral values.
Loser. 
The next burning issue waiting to be debunked: Was Gov. Palin a member of Alaska’s secession-friendly Independence Party for a couple of years in the 1990s? Both Team McCain and the AIP have gone back and forth about it, with the McCain campaign providing voter registeration proof that she has been a lifelong Republican, and the AIP saying Gov. Palin and her husband at the very least appeared at the 1994 AIP convention.
Stay tuned …
Update: No, Gov. Sarah Palin was never an AIP member:
Gail Fenumiai, director of the Alaska Division of Elections, tells ABC News that regardless of the impression given to members of the Alaskan Independence Party, “Gov. Sarah Palin first registered to vote in the state in May 1982 as a Republican, and she has not changed her party affiliate with the Division of Elections since that time.”
That said, Fenumiai says that Palin’s husband Todd was a member of the AIP from October 1995 through July 2002, except for a few months in 2000. He is currently undeclared.

The AIP wouldn’t have to refute voter registration records to argue that I was once a “member” of their party. I actually did register AIP for a couple of years when I lived in Alaska.
Showing up at a convention is nothing, especially in 1994 when there was still some question whether Wally Hickel — who’d been elected as AIP’s nominee in 1990 — would seek a second term.
He didn’t, but it took way too long for him to say so.
Not to be outdone, today’s Philadelphia Daily News puts out this op-ed:
We need Obama, not 4 more years of George Bush
Here’s the line you need to see:
Truly scary stuff. We now have a moonbat in a major urban newpaper threatening a race war if we don’t all knuckle under and anoint The One to dictate to us.
Maybe she’s concluded that intelligent debate over things like, say, energy policy won’t bring in the votes, so it’s time to turn to violence. Not all that unusual for the left, unfortunately.
I still maintain she’ll be a big plus for McCain. She makes the left seem so hateful, driving normal people to McCain;s side.
GWR: Funny, but I think Ms. Ali got the wrong name. I can see the possibility for a race-and-gender war far more likely with Obama than with McCain. Especially since the lepht is so married to the idea of pigeonholing the lot of us — oh, sorry, I mean the hoi polloi — oh, I’m sorry, “The American People” (TM).
Funny, that. But I’m preaching to the choir.
You know you would think that the left would be happy that Sarah Palin has this opportunity. But Noooooooo…..
Amazing those who trumpet women’s issues the most are the 1st ones to judge a woman by her looks. – Lorica
“I still maintain she’ll be a big plus for McCain. She makes the left seem so hateful, driving normal people to McCain;s side.”
Exactly. If she can freak out the Far Left in such a short amount of time, she must be doing something right.
One wonders what the reaction will be if she holds her own against Biden in a debate or even beats him silly.
I think the Caligula comment by Cohen is unacceptable. Anything goes these days huh? I think Palin is a good pick for the party and when these doubts are debunked, things will be OK.
It is “Independent” and this will be the only one that can be problematic for her. I hope everyone prints it as Independence party
Do you think Todd became a member so they could keep an eye on the group? I mean, I signed up for emails from the Obama camp for the same reason.
You are very courageous Kimberly. I will pray that once BO loses this election that his 5th column people will not find out you are not a fan.
