As some of us predicted and still others hoped it looks like we were right and all the attacks and lies are now being pushed aside by the truth and facts.

Many of you will remember that have said repeatedly that the best way to combat the Liberal lies, name calling,& distortions, is to stick to the truth and the facts because they can't deal with it, and they keep proving me right.

Now let the Liberal lies, name calling,& distortions begin against me, I'm used to it.

American Way: Sarah Palin email frenzy backfires on her media antagonists – Telegraph Blogs
The trove of more than 13,000 emails detailing almost every aspect of Sarah Palin’s governorship of Alaska, released late on Friday, paints a picture of her as an idealistic, conscientious, humorous and humane woman slightly bemused by the world of politics.

One can only assume that the Left-leaning editors who dispatched teams of reporters to remote Juneau, the Alaskan capital, to pore over the emails in the hope of digging up a scandal are now viewing the result as a rather poor return on their considerable investment.

If anything, Mrs Palin seems likely to emerge from the scrutiny of the 24,000 pages, contained in six boxes and weighing 275 pounds, with her reputation considerably enhanced. As a blogger at Powerline noted, the whole saga might come to be viewed as “an embarrassment for legacy media”.

How did those reporters find Alaska? :D
 
How many emails were redacted?

How many emails were not released at all?

I wonder what is in those?

An incomplete picture does not contain the entire story.

This isn't exactly surprising. I honestly didn't think they would find anything of terrible interest. Say what you want about Palin, but if she were up to no good, she certainly wouldn't do it through her work e-mail. She's not as stupid as people think she is.

You do realize that the e-mails that were released were heavily redacted by state officials. Add to that the mountains of material off-limits due to alleged "personal" or "priviledged" information. What these e-mails represent are the best side of Sarah Palin that the state of Alaska could offer.

That didn't take long. Redacted =/= conspiracy.

Why dont you go start a Conspiracy Theory thread on that. Be sure to post all the non-proof you have that there was something fishy about all this.
 
at least with Weiner frenzy there were ract pictures.

WHERE ARE THE RACY SARAH PALIN PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They would definitely be better looking than Weiner.
 
I never thought we'd find anything terribly surprising in there. I've always thought she was just someone in way over her head - no more no less.

It's true a lot of her emails were redacted from the released emails. Do I think it matters? I dunno. And I frankly don't care. No matter how well-intending the released emails make her look, it still doesn't change that I think she's unfit to hold office. :shrug:

Not all us libs sit around hoping scandal on the opposition. Sometimes we just think a politician is genuinely bad at their job. You can be bad at your job even if you're idealistic and conscientious.

Now much of the right wing ideology becomes very clear and understandable. Make up your mind based only on selective information carefully culled from a much larger base of data. And then attack others who point out what you have done.

Sorry to have brought up something so unpleasant and disturbing as the actual truth that the emails were redacted.

The fact that emails were redacted is neither unpleasant nor disturbing. You ASSumptions about why some were redacted is unpleasant and disturbing. Unless you have evidence there was some cover up, then your theory is nothing more than a conspiracy theory, and you know where you can put it...

How does one get evidence that has been redacted ---- or the actual words have been COVERED UP?

Can you answer that?

Why the needless personal insults? Highlighting in capitals the first three letters in assmuptions to make the ASS obvious? Telling me to put it where I know to? How does such personal vitriol help your defense of Palin?

Your problem, not mine. You think there is a conspiracy, you know where to put it.

If you feel insulted, feel free to report that post and see if the moderating team agrees with you.

My post was much more about you not wasting bandwidth up here, when nonsense like your theory should be in the proper forum.

You seem to be ignoring the questions here in favor of your usual defense of "I was not given the death penalty so I did not kill anybody": how does making personal insults to me strengthen your defense of Sarah Palin?

Again, if the evidence has been blacked out and edited, how does one get that same evidence?

As I said.. if you feel somehow slighted by my post, you're encouraged to report it and let the moderating team decide.

As for proving anything you said on this subject, again... not my problem. If you are so adament that there was a coverup, even without evidence as in this case, then that is a conspiracy theory and you know where to put it.
 
13,000 emails. Holy **** - that's, what, 19 a day if this is just a 2 year timespan. Of course it's far MORE than that.

Dayum - lay off the internet. What do they do - backup every email to a file or something at the end of the day? Geesh man - ever heard of spring cleaning? Lordie man. I email a few emails a week and that feels like a bit much to me.

I have only the last 2 years worth of emails stored, company policy, and I have about 27,000.

Oh but it most certainly is your problem when you accuse me of going off on some conspiracy theory with the implication being that I have nothing to go on and it is up to me to prove anything. So I ask you again since you defended the emails, the redactions and have criticized me for pointing it out -

How does one acquire evidence of the content of the emails when the actual content of the emails has been edited or blacked out?

How does the mention of this fact of reality distrub you and cause you to make personal attacks on me?

You taking me on in this manner absolutely makes it your problem.
 
Did Toby Harnden mean to say that Palin was confused by the world of politics?

Geesh - why is that a policy? Now I'm curious.

There has to be some limit set. no point in holding on to them forever.

Two reasons. Anything important would have been resolved well before 2 years here, and there are issue tracking systems in place if we need to look up details on anything. Also, hard drive space.
