Mindlessly following Palin tour does the media no favors:

Wed, 08 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0700

Anchorage Daily News - By Elise Patkotak - Jun. 08 (Opinion) - First, Sarah Palin makes the term "lamestream media" her own, then she goes and proves they really are. And the lamestream media is right there helping her by acting like a bunch of buffoons. Like summer movies, the coverage being provided of Palin's summer vacation is vacuous and forgettable -- it is, as the Bard would say, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Sarah Palin Supporters Attempted To Edit Wikipedia Page On Paul Revere

Huffington Post - Jun. 07 (News Report) - Last week, Sarah Palin told a local news station in Boston that Paul Revere "warned the British that they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms."

Sarah Palin collects a bushel of Pinocchios on her bus tour

Sat, 04 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0700

Washington Post - By Glenn Kessler - Jun. 04 (Special Report) - Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has spent this week taking a high-profile bus tour up to New Hampshire, in what may or may not be a prelude to a presidential run in 2012. She spent half an hour the other day chatting with Fox News’s Greta van Susteren. The full interview is posted on Palin’s Web site, but we watched all of it so you don’t have to. Much of the interview consisted of fluffy stuff, but every so often van Susteren diverted into asking about policy issues. Palin responded with her trademark style of making broad assertions with only a shaky command of the facts. We’ll go through the key statements in the order in which she said them, which allows us to begin and end with some absolute whoppers.

Why the right hates Common

Salon - By Mary Elizabeth Williams - May. 13 (Opinion) - On Wednesday, the White House honored arts education with a Celebration of American Poetry. There was a poetry workshop for children during the day, and in the evening, performances by the likes of Elizabeth Alexander, Rita Dove, Kenneth Goldsmith. This being the administration that can turn Jay-Z references into campaign rallying cries -- and campaign rallying cries into hit videos -- there were also musical artists on the bill, including Aimee Mann and Jill Scott. And, this being the administration that never fails to provoke the outrage of that holy trinity of right-wing attention gluttons -- Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Sarah Palin – there was controversy.

The Tragedy of Sarah Palin

Tue, 10 May 2011 00:00:00 -0700

Atlantic Monthly - By Joshua Green - May. 10 (Opinion) - From the moment Sarah Palin’s acceptance speech electrified the Republican convention, she was seen as an unbending, hard-charging, red-meat ideologue—to which soon was added “thin-skinned” and “vindictive.” But a look at what Palin did while in office in Alaska—the only record she has—shows a very different politician: one who worked with Democrats to tame Big Oil and solve the great problem at the heart of the state’s politics. That Sarah Palin might have set the nation on a different course. What went wrong?

NPR - By Martin Kaste - May. 01 (News Report) - Whether Sarah Palin will enter the 2012 presidential race is the political junkie's favorite guessing game — and Palin hasn't said much to end the speculation. But how Palin entered politics in the first place may surprise you. It turns out, Palin was recruited into politics to help the cause of bigger government. "We were looking for a moderate who was interested in community development, basically," says John Stein, one of those who recruited her.

Why Are the Republicans Afraid of President Obama?

Fri, 22 Apr 2011 00:00:00 -0700

Huffington Post - By Bob Cesca - Apr. 22 (Opinion) - One of the most often-overheard refrains from the Republican Party and its far-right base is that President Obama is the worst president in American history. Others say he "pals around with terrorists." They say he's destroying America. They say that he's weak, that he dithers and that he's effete -- implying either that he's gay or effeminate or both. Around half of all Republicans have told pollsters that he's not even constitutionally eligible to be president, which ought to mandate an immediate removal from office.

Dismantling the NYT’s Misrepresentations of Governor Palin’s Record

Sat, 19 Mar 2011 00:00:00 -0700

Big Government - By Whitney Pitcher - Mar. 19 (Opinion) - The New York Times also questions the progress of Governor Palin’s natural gas pipeline project–the Alaska’s Gasline Inducement Act (AGIA)–which will bring natural gas from the North Slope of Alaska through Canada to the Lower 48 as an additional means of achieving energy independence. Governor Palin’s pipeline project was done in a transparent free-market friendly manner with proposals available for public consumption-- a far cry from the behind-closed-doors pipeline discussion with oil companies that were commonplace and unsuccessful in previous administrations. The New York Times argues that neither gas suppliers nor federal permits had been obtained for the project. However, at the end of the first open season for bidding by gas suppliers this past summer, there were “several major players” who had submitted bids. Additionally, the pipeline company TransCanada and oil company ExxonMobil, both partners on AGIA-backed pipeline project, have had discussions with BP-ConocoPhilips to work together on the project. Additionally, the permitting process with both American and Canadian regulatory agencies has made “significant progress,” and the progress is right on track with time projections.
