Palin's book goes rouge on some facts

You are partially correct. Many of us are not afraid of her as a candidate. We actually relish in the idea.

But the fear kicks in if you even think for a moment that this woman could ever get voted into office.:shock:

Considering the competence of the current leadership in Congress, I have no such fear.

Fear isn't inspired by this

not really. not the women i associate with.
 
Interesting it is, tonote, with just a brief visit to a board dedicated to self thought and reflection, see the majority of liberal posts steeped in a rather uninteresting slant of perjorative nonsense.

Take a moment to read Palin's book. Evaluate not on the basis of her intelligence, but what she has to say. If you care not to do that, but then still comment, you are indeed living your own happenstance of kool-aide foaming non-sense.

what she has to say is based on her level of intelligence. i know plenty of people of average intelligence, including me. if i wanted to read a book authored by someone of average intelligence, those books would at least be great beach reads, not self serving fictional autobiographies.
 
I nearly died rolling on the floor laughing when Rush said it was one of the most substantive policy books he had ever read.

let's ask talkingbackhistory if he thinks Limbaugh is not a kool aid drinker, if he did read it.

The AP get six people to "fact check" a book and could find nothing of substance....

This is news.

Actually yes....because it was. What purpose would I have to purposefully change rogue to rouge? Its not like it would add anything to post....
There's no conspiracy.....simply a mis-type that I couldn't fix...even though I caught it right after I hit send.

BTW....have you read the article?

There are several lies and distortions of substance in Ms. Palin's book....but most of us aren't really surprised at all.

Anyone that read the article, knows that the article is crap.

PALIN: Says she made frugality a point when traveling on state business as Alaska governor, asking "only" for reasonably priced rooms and not "often" going for the "high-end, robe-and-slippers" hotels.

THE FACTS: Although travel records indicate she usually opted for less-pricey hotels while governor, Palin and daughter Bristol stayed five days and four nights at the $707.29-per-night Essex House luxury hotel (robes and slippers come standard) overlooking New York City's Central Park for a five-hour women's leadership conference in October 2007. With air fare, the cost to Alaska was well over $3,000. Event organizers said Palin asked if she could bring her daughter. The governor billed her state more than $20,000 for her children's travel, including to events where they had not been invited, and in some cases later amended expense reports to specify that they had been on official business.

Palin didn't say she, "never", stayed at high dollar hotels. She said that she didn't, "often", stay at high end hotels. Had she said that it never happened, then that wouldbe something different.

Who went rouge on the facts?

Yeah, I'm sure it was an innocent mistake. After all, you would never do anything to disparage Palin would you. It's a bit too convenient that your thread title just happens to match the title of the left wing parody book coming out the same day as Palin's.

I haven't seen any outright lies or distortions in this story. They list things that could be taken either way and distort her words to make it appear that she wasn't truthful.

Major retailers reportedly selling Palin's Going Rogue below cost​

Sarah Palin's memoir Going Rogue: An American Life has garnered attention in part because of the number of copies sold before publication. But the book has been offered at below-cost prices from major online retailers, and Newsmax has used the book as a loss leader to promote its magazine, potentially inflating the book's sales.

five days and four nights for a 5 hour conference. that's certainly fiscally responsible.

I have no idea what you mean. Saying someone has low self esteem is threatening that person? That's news to me.

Revealing facts and details in a book doens't mean anything - a book = time, editors, advisors, references and so on.
A book is not a measure of IQ.

I disagree. A book can be a measure of IQ. The way you worded your sentence, you made it seem as though it can NEVER be the measure of IQ. That's an incorrect statement.
