I'm referring to the guy from American Chopper and the bear separately, by the way.
Raw Story is running the video below, along with a shocked screen grab of Palin lounging by the bear, which is somehow the lede to their story:
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, whose 2008 vice presidential campaign made her a household name–as well as a lightning-rod for controversy–chats with the gang from American Chopper while sitting on a dead grizzly bear.
The governor is seen nestling against the bearskin rug, draped over a couch in her office. Reportedly, the bear was shot by her father, Chuck. Palin's mother told the Daily Mail last August that the bear "was a mean son-of-a-gun, so Sarah had it skinned with the mouth in a permanent growl."
What I loved about this was the weird, uncomfortable dialog, as Palin uses up her quotient of notifications that Alaska has been a state for 50 years, and tells American Chopper patriarch Paul Tuetel, Sr., how he's got all kinds of patriotism up in him.
I sympathize. If I went to Alaska, I'd burn through all of my "A" tundra material in 3 seconds and be left twiddling my thumbs, planning fishin' trips I'd never take. And if I met the guy from American Chopper, who seems like a nice guy, I'd be good for "So, why do they call 'em choppers?" and not much more.
I love OCC ...great interview, and how great OCC is celebrating the beautiful state of Alaska with one of the most original home grown business in the good old USA!!

OBAMA IS IN YOUR FACE WITH LIES_ and you want to GOSSIP and LAUGH about Palin GET REAL PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!! Lets laugh about your lying ass President!
Obama's Lie: Britain Did Torture
During Obama's 100th-day presser, he said he had recently read an article about Winston Churchill during the London blitz. "Churchill said, 'We don't torture,' when the entire British -- all of the British people were being subjected to unimaginable risk and threat," Obama said. "And then the reason was that Churchill understood, you start taking short-cuts, over time, that corrodes what's -- what's best in a people. It corrodes the character of a country."
The anecdote wasn't true. Churchill may well have said that Britain did not torture, but British archives show clearly that captured Nazis were subjected to harsh treatment in order to extract information during World War II. This morning, Michael Tomasky points to this 2005 story in the Guardian about a secret World War II detention center called the "London Cage":
The London Cage was used partly as a torture centre, inside which large numbers of German officers and soldiers were subjected to systematic ill-treatment. In total 3,573 men passed through the Cage, and more than 1,000 were persuaded to give statements about war crimes. The brutality did not end with the war, moreover: a number of German civilians joined the servicemen who were interrogated there up to 1948. . . .
Read the entire story here . . .
Who invented the automobile? Obama claims it was the United States.
Obama the documented liar and hypocrite 158 lies:

You Republicans need to get real jumping on Obama is not going to fix anything.No Obama has not done anything yet but niether would Mcainn and Palin. All they would of done is make the havick we have now even worse so i suggest you look at the statistics instead on going on your wrong prediction . I am not saying there is anything wrong with being Republican but I am saying there is something wrong when your mind can only focus on the bad and you can't look up a dang thing. If you did you would be highly informed and your comment just shows me how the average non-informed person thinks. Think some time or another life is not just White People and Republicans it is much more advanced and important than that.

2010 GOP strategy in a nutshell: Pander to hate-filled white men (LOSE MORE SEATS) and use outdated fear mongering (LOSE MORE SEATS) tactics to push the party into further irrelevance. Stay angry, you pathetic idiot

Wow, you sound like a right git. 1) You're defending Sarah Palin, that's enough to make me question your intelligence... 2) Your only point is about how Obama "LIES about the Brit's torturing people!!!!" when all he did, according to YOUR accusations, was quote the alleged lies of a very well respected leader from history. Therefore even if it is a lie it's a lie on Churchill's part, not Obama's. Obama's reasoning still stands even if who he quoted didn't "practice what he preached". 3) Further nobody gives a shit if what Churchill said is a lie or not. I mean it's the freaking Nazis who according to you were tortured. Frankly they all deserved (and in the case of Neo-Nazis, deserve) a punishment far worse than death. Your bringing this up at all, about their cruel treatment, sounds like an attempt to bring sympathy for the most dispicable beings in the history of humankind. 4) If you're going to rebut this by saying Nazis and terrorist deserve the same thing remember one thing... the Nazis in Germany were attempting to take over the entire planet, they were highly organized, they were an incredibly powerful force and they put the entire planet at stake. These terrorists could never even hope to achieve such a feat and they do not compare. 5) Further if you're going to start calling me a stupid liberal or the like you will find yourself horribly mistaken, as I am a supporter of the Republican party... but closed-minded dumbasses like you give me and any other decent Republican a HORRIBLE name.
Simply put though: All Obama said was that torture is bad... and that is NOT a lie, so shut up.

It isn't difficult to recognize an ignorant racist just by the tone of his/her writing. You are indicative of that type of person, one that neither God nor majority Americans identify with. People like you would put inarticulate, uneducated, wilderness dwelling animal raping people like Palin in office to shame the US. The entire world was laughing at Palin and people like you during the elections. Get an education or shut up!

It figures that animal murdering b*tch would have a stuffed animals and animal skins lying around her house. She looks so proud to be sitting in front of that poor bear's carcass. Evil witch. She's one of the most vile, digusting, despicable excuses for a human being on the planet. I hope she's reincarnated as an animal and hunted by idiots in helicopters toting semi-automatic weapons.

You want to talk about liers? I watched the poor excuse the GOP called a convention. During the convention John Thompson said, "While John McCain was held captive, the only information he gave to the Vietcong was the names of the starting lineup for the Green Bay Packers". Then Georgie Boy Bush comes on the screen,(due to the fact they didn't want him at the convention) and he says, "All the years John McCain spent being tortured, the Vietcong never broke him, so we all know the left won't be able to break him either". This nonsense couldn't be farther from the truth. Less than two weeks after McCain was taken to a hospital, Hanoi's press began quoting him giving specific military information, including the name of the aircraft carrier on which he was based, numbers of U.S. pilots that had been lost, the number of aircraft in his flight, information about location of rescue ships and the order of which his attack was supposed to take place. There is also evidence that McCain received "special" medical treatment from a Soviet physician. After he was out of the hospital, McCain continued cooperating with the North Vietnamese for a period of three years. He made radio broadcasts for the communists and met with foreign delegations, including the Cubans. He was interviewed by at least two North Vietnamese generals one of whom was Vietnam's national hero, General Vo Nguyen Giap. On June 4, 1969, a U.S. wire service story headlined "PW Songbird Is Pilot Son of Admiral," reported one of McCain's radio broadcasts: "Hanoi has aired a broadcast in which the pilot son of the United States commander in the Pacific, Adm. John McCain, purportedly admits to having bombed civilian targets in North Vietnam and praises medical treatment he has received since being taken prisoner. McCain says he violated the Code of Conduct only when the North Vietnamese brutally tortured him. He further claims that he was so distraught afterwards that he tried to commit suicide. He has never explained why his "aid to the enemy" continued for more than three years. You can read the entire story at: http://www.usvetdsp.com/smith_mc.htm
So Wade, if Obama did lie about what Churchill was quoted for saying, it's sure better than being a "Traitor" and giving up rescue ship positions and endangering the lives of your fellow brothers in arms.

You know what I love about all these replies, they are all hippocrits. for example "You Republicans need to get real jumping on Obama is not going to fix anything." So I guess jumping on Bush for every little thing he did WAS going to fix something? Or how about "we are talking about sarah palin and the bear skined by that bitch and you talking obama and the torture." So when we were all sympathizing with the families of 9/11 victims and you guys were calling it a government conspiracy lead by George Bush it was okay then? And my absolute favorite (too many examples to name just one) is when they have nothing and the resort to racism. You know what, if by being a racist means that I am willing to stand up to Obama and his joke of an administration and to tell all you democrats to pull your heads out of your asses then call me racist and I will wear the name proudly. Thank You and God Bless America!

My goodness, I thought this article was about Sarah Palin. Silly me!!! And all the time it was about Obama and his lies. They did a good job covering up the lead to this story by hiding it in a supposed Palin interview with American Chopper. How in the world were you able to decipher that the story was actually about Obama and not Palin? You're one brainy individual. I think most people thought the story was indeed about Palin.

Why oh why can't you writers find a more appealing story than your malicious attacks on Governor Sarah Palin. I for one respect her and realize what a threat she must be ot hear so many criticizing her. I am rooting for her because I always love to see the "know everything" writers, who feel great power and authority have been afforded them because their opinions are read by many.end up with egg on their faces when she really does excell and becomes huge success even greater than she is today.
