That video was worth about as much as asking two guys in Deer stands what they think of gun rights.

I see mercy and cm as apologists for the actions of the police chief, when making an association with Sarah Palin.

I don't see the same distance being granted to Barak Obama when he's being tarred with an association with Bill Ayers.

This is despite the fact that Palin *hired* Fannon, Fannon reported directly to Palin and no such hierarchical relationship exists between Obama and Ayers at all.

Why the different reactions to a pair of relationships?

I see your double standards and raise you one case of buyers guilt with Obama.

Comedy is down the hall....

What "buyers guilt" are you talking about?

btw, we agree about the "double standards" at least.

In the absence of any elaboration, I'm going to have to consider your frequent "bull shit" as an ungracious way of conceding the point.

Whoa there V - I'm not apologizing for anyone. I offered another "possible" scenario for their/her reaction relating to a prior post.
I still believe in what I posted. I do not "know" what happened nor does anyone else. I must say though - that I do not weigh the two situations equally.

Her response to the findings, in my opinion, is appalling and outright wha wha WHAT THE ____????

Quote:
"I'm very, very pleased to be cleared of any legal wrongdoing, any hint of any kind of unethical activity there," she told reporters.

Actually, the bipartisan report said just the opposite. It found that Mrs. Palin and her husband, Todd, repeatedly violated state ethics laws by browbeating subordinates to dismiss Trooper Michael Wooten, who had been involved in an ugly divorce with Mrs. Palin's sister, and by using state employees to score points in a family feud.

OJ was pleased to be cleared too. The first time, anyway.

classicman, I see your point about the quote you posted. To me, that is just a plain lie.

Trying to boldface lie her way out of her responsibilities. I don't want that. To me, it carries substantial weight because it is first hand. Her words. They're unambiguously wrong. Not taken out of context, not twisted, just flat wrong. And repeatedly so. Also, it's fresh. This is something that is happening now, current events, not something when she was in the second grade fact checking Biden's congressional record against his rhetoric. Also, it's a big damn deal as an indicator of what kind of action I can expect from her in similar circumstances in the future.

This is pretty damning.

Well doesn't it make her the perfect replacement for Cheney?
