		<description>Creating false stories to make their candidates look better is a standard republican tactic. Remember what got Dan Rather ousted from CBS news? Even though the allegations about Bush not fulfilling his military service was true, the taint of having a &quot;false allegation&quot; was enough to quash further inquiry.</description>

		<description>Journalismâ€™s not dead! It just smells funny. 

Donâ€™t you folks get it?! The main story here is not a hoax. I, Sarah Palin really didnâ€™t know what NAFTA is. I kinda still donâ€™t. And I didnâ€™t know that Africa is a continent and not a country. The truth, it seems, is stanger than fiction.

The only hoax is that Martyâ€™s not the true source of the leak. MSNBC ran with the story that he was the leaker, and they were wrong.

However, the truth remains that I, Sarah Palin, did not know that the NAFTA is a trade agreement between our country and Canada and Mexico. And let me just say that running for Vice President has humbled me greatly. I now know just what the VP does every day: deal with complicated things which I know nothing about.

While Martyâ€™ll never work on any of my campaigns ever again, I sure hope that I donâ€™t have to run against the next person who hires him.

For more information about the insights and knowledge that I have regarding foreign policy matters, just go to my website:

and remember:

Sarah Palin TwentyTwelve!

You betcha.</description>

		<description>I wish everyone would stop using Palin&#039;s statement to Chuckie G at ABC as an example of Palin&#039;s ignorance.  I understand what she meant and so would you if you thought about it.

If someone lives next to San Quentin and they keep aware of California&#039;s Parole policies, I&#039;ll understand what they are saying when they state &quot;I can see the guard towers from my backyard, of course I&#039;m aware of Parole policies.&quot;  You see, she gave her reason to be aware of foreign policy, not the source of her foreign policy knowledge.

From &quot;Trooper-gate&quot; (I&#039;d question the executive skills of someone who couldn&#039;t explain why he allowed an employee to carry a badge and a gun when that person was disciplined numerous times, and one of those times was child abuse; regardless of how I became aware of that information) to clothing bills (I&#039;ll bet one of Obama&#039;s suits could pay my rent for half a year) Palin has been unfairly trashed.

By the way, I was among the first to argue that context and background was important when Obama&#039;s &quot;lipstick on a pig&quot; comment was being spun as a personal attack.  No matter who you support...or hate...you cannot accurately evaluate consequences without accurate information.</description>

		<description>I won&#039;t say that the Africa claim is actually a legit one.  i think that is a far move, even for Palin, but I definitely can believe that her foreign policy experience is weak, which is what I am assuming the point of leaking this statement was.  Palin is just an all and all bad choice for the Republican party, because while she did what she needed to do to be elected to Alaskan governorship, that was like a total of 155,000 people that voted for her?  Being ready and qualified to govern Alaska is one thing, but I do not feel she brought anything to the ticket, and her unease when it came to talking about facts, especially when it dealt with foreign policy, has created this persona of her.  I don&#039;t think its a feeling of thinking she is stupid for believing something different than me, but I think it is more that she was not ready to handle policy which had global implications, and she shouldn&#039;t have tried to pretend that she could handle that - it didn&#039;t work for her.  She wasn&#039;t convincing.</description>

80% approval rating (highest in the country) is significantly more than your assertion.  Don&#039;t be afraid to give her all the credit she deserves.</description>

		<description>Wow, the level of plain meanness is impressive in some of these posts.  While someone&#039;s political views often colors our perception of them (&quot;She&#039;s pro-life?  I&#039;m pro-choice and I&#039;m smart, so she must be an idiot!&quot;), she is the governor of one of our 50 states.  Like it or not, she knows enough to be elected to an executive office and at least passably manage the responsibilities associated with it.  I&#039;m totally cool with people disagreeing with her world view, and I&#039;ll even agree that her knowledge needs to be broader if she wants to play on a national stage.  But an idiot?  Sounds like a opinion driven by ideology.</description>

		<description>I think Palin is an idiot, but I don&#039;t need this GOP smear campaign of questionable truth to validate it. The RNC/GOP should realize that people figured out that she was an idiot a long, long time ago (broadcast of the Gibson/Couric interviews), and that people stopped caring about her altogether after Obama was elected. 

Let&#039;s give it a rest, people.</description>

		<description>Just by observation, 65% of the country thought Palin was an idiot.  Everyone in that group will believe every word Eisenstadt says.

Whether Eisenstadt is a hack or not, Palin was a fraud of a candidate and the Republicans should be punished for risking our national security by allowing her on the ticket.  So any information about Palin that destroys her reputation and credibility and prevents her from every seeking national office again is fine with me and the rest of the 65%.</description>

		<description>I do believe there&#039;s some question as to M. Eisenstadt&#039;s authenticity. Huffpo believes that this is some elaborate ruse. It remains unclear whether he was the source or whether Cameron had other sources.</description>
