Palin Scandal du Jour

why dont you magazines liberal journalist and all the drive bt media leave this poor woman (palin) alone!All you people do is make up lies. We the true americans with brains knows what you are trying to do . And we know who you want for President . So lay off of this woman and her Family!

cartex,

Thanks for your comment. Actually, I didn't make one bit of this up. Click on the links.

Give me some REAL news. This is hardly a scandal and I'll tell you why. Every police department in small towns have firings that are challenged. It's happened in my town and all my neighhoring towns. If we looked at each of these things as scandals, we'd never have room on the page or even on the WWW for anything else.

If that's all you have to hang your hat on to discredit Sarah Palin, you might as well start quoting the Daily Kos as one of your sources. David, do as Barack Obama says. Leave the families out of this. Peace!

The police officer and ex brother-in-law of Sarah Palin, Mike Wooten, is a four times divorced man who has a long history as a domestic abuser and alcoholic. If you have ever helped a loved one escape from an abusive husband or boyfriend, you would regard Governor Sarah Palin as a hero who was protecting her family from a dangerous situation.

Come on David this is gutter journalism. You are doing a diservice to us Democrats with this article. It makes us sound scared and desperate. We have major issues we can win with

knowles, you a**hole, research these obama topics and spew back to us:

Ayers, Obama, the Annenberg Challenge: what happened to the $110,000,000 dollars they squandered.

Larry Sinclair & The atty general of Delaware, the false imprisonment of Larry by Joe Biden's son for 2 months. Joe's son had no jurisdiction and was the only one who would issue a warrant, no charges were filed and now a law suit has been filed by Larry. Remember Larry did coke with obama and gave him a BJ?

Michelle's whitey tape, it's out there, we've seen it.

Obama is Barry Soetoro and gave up his US citizenship for Indonesian and never got the US cit back.

These are just a few, we are waiting, knowles.

I ONLY WISH THAT HILLARY AND SARAH WOULD BE RUNNING ON THE SAME TICKET. TOGETHER THEY WOULD REALY SHAKE UP THE OLD FARTS IN CONGRESS THAT BEEN ON THE TAKE FOR A MANY OF YEARS, AND PUT THIS COUNTY BACK ON RIGHT TRACK AGAIN

lol

you all got on obama because his minster said a few bad comments..then you all got on mrs.obama because she said one comment..

if this was obama linked to a separist movement..these blogs would be filled with rage ..

i guess/...one mans terrorist is another man's freedom fighter

most of u on here are hyprocrites..try to be fair people

this is just the start ..there will be more on her...
why are you all protecting her..before last friday you didn't even know her..

surfchlk,

Thanks for your comment. Where to begin.

Larry Sinclair has failed numerous polygraph tests, and been completely discredited. Because you say something on YouTube, doesn't make it so.

There is no "whitey tape." Hard to prove a negative, I realize, but the absence of said tape certainly doesn't prove it exists.

Do you really think that Obama could have gotten this far if he was technically ineligible to run for office?

As for Ayers and Annenberg, please read:

I agree instead of trying to find this petty dirt on palin try and focus on Obama's ministers, Business associates.. Resko comes to mind, convicted criminals are his "friends" Even Jesse doesn't like him if you remember his "cut off his nuts" speach. Also, I live in the Chicago area and EVERYDAY you read about kids being shot and killed in the streets of OBAMA's District!! He couldnt clean his backyard up of gangs how in heck is he going to take on Putin!!!

WHY DON'T YOU FAR LEFT LIBS GO BUY YOURSELVES AND ISLAND AND JUST GET THE HELL OUT! NOW ONE OF YOUR RADICAL LEFTYS HAS STOLEN PALIN'S SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER - YOU PEOPLE ARE LIKE THE GUSTAPO AND GUESS WHAT, WE ARE GETTING SICK OF IT. LOOKS LIKE DEMS HATE WOMEN WITH A BRAIN AND BACKBONE.

Like it or not, the families of the candidates do impact the views we have of the candidates themselves. Todd Palin belonging to the AIP is relevant, considering the slogan for the McCain/Palin ticket is "Country First". Bristol Palin's pregnancy is only relevant because of the position Gov. Palin has on the issues of choice and abstinence-only teaching in schools. I am tired of the "liberal" media being blamed for bringing issues to light about Sarah Palin. They are important and relevant--especially since a McCain spokesperson said "this election is not about the issues". He implies it is a choice of character. No one is "picking" on this "poor woman". This is a public vetting of a candidate for the Vice Presidency of the United States. The unfortunate thing to me is the lack of attention "Troopergate" and the abuse of power charges Palin faces and is presently being investigated for, has been receiving. Abuse of Power--are you kidding me. We have been the victims of abuse of power for 8 years. There is no change in this McCain/Palin ticket, McCain just tried to put a pretty face on very ugly policies.

Way to go David, I have been saying for days now that "troopergate" wasnt the only abuse of power. It was out there for everyone to see. People see only what they want to see. Palin isnt th next best thing, she is a disaster waiting to happen. What gets me is the right wants to bash Obama & his wife, why isnt ok to dig up the dirt on the Palin's?

Now we need to hear more on Dairygate, when she fired everyone there too.

Look people. All this info is relevant because her and her family will be representing the US if she gets elected. Bringing up all the controversies about Obama has been fair game. How many times were we shown a loop of Rev. Wright? Heck, Hannity and Rush have his recordings at the push of a button. The point is McCain did not vet this lady at all. This was his first important decision as a candidate and he blew it.

The paranoia is running rampant with the McCainites Many people do not want to believe and refuse to accept the truth about a person that they idolize. Those that idolize McCain and Palin think they walk on water and can do no wrong. Those that do not idolize them know different.

David, you're the typical left-wing journalist, who will do anything to try to bring down a conservative. Talk about hypocrites, you and your ilk take the cake. You would never make the issue of a liberal candidate's family the way you are Sarah Palin's. An example of this would be Al Gore's son getting a DUI during the 2002 election. That was quickly swept under the rug, and yet, the fact that Sarah Palin's husband got a DUI 22 years ago is a big issue. By-the-way, Obama admits using Marajuana at about the same time. Has that ever made the scandal sheet? I think it is absolutely abhorent the way you sharks have gone after Palin's daughter. This is a family issue and should be left that way. The fact that she has elected to keep her baby and marry the father is something to be commended not reviled. She's going to have to grow up quickly, but she's not the only one this has ever happened to (Obama's mother). I think you people are desperate to find anything you can to try to bring this woman down, because you know she's a threat to your chosen one. Connie

No journalist is going to investigate Obama because they want this person who no one knows anything about to have the Presidency of the U.S. It just amazes me !Where does his supporters come from and really how does there brain work and how where they raised. Things must have really changed.

Nobody believes anything David Knowles has to say.

We all know that he is one of the men who are so enamored of Obama that he spews venom at anybody who challenges anything about Obama.

Sarah Palin could not fire anybody UNLESS it was her rightful place to fire them! She was entitled as governor to put whomever she wanted in those positions.

If she felt the men were not doing their jobs then she had every right to boot their butts out and get somebody who could.

Daily we read in the newspapers about rogue cops who are protected by the "blue wall". If her brother-in-law's boss didn't do anything when numerous complaints were filed against the trooper then he SHOULD have been ousted from his job.

Good for Palin. She was trying to clean up the state!

David, thanks for your blog comments. I do believe AOL attracts a pretty right wing group, and the reaction to your reporting only confirms it. You should take pride in getting the kind of reaction you have been getting because it confirms the relevance and accuracy of your reporting.
