ABC just did a story about Troopergate (9/11, Simpson, dictator)

So did Obama. Actually three gay men have been killed that were connected to TUC.

Don't forget: How about all those other terrorist sympathizers who ALSO served on the board with Ayers and Obama? I mean, seriously, just LOOK at this list of radicals. That Obama is such a liar. He not only palled around with Ayers, but with all these other terrorist sympathizers, too. And Annenberg--you know, the billionaire Republican who funded this excrescence of an educational board, who KNOWS what kind of other terror organizations he was funding!! Scary, I tell you.

Are you seriously claiming that Obama had someone killed?

[Metlakatla]

Uh...you've gotten your names wrong here. It was Walt Monegan that was fired, and not Wooten. Wooten was the BIL. Sorry to have to bring it up, as I agree that she violated the ethics code, but we really need to stick to the truth here.

[sanrene]

The ethics rule violation seems to be based on the assumption that it was "likely" Monigan was fired for reasons other than what Palin said - namely wooten.

It seems "likely" is not based in evidence, just a judgement by a partisan investigator.

They gave Obama the headline "Abuse of Power", other than that there is no there there. She broke no laws and certainly was within her right to fire monigan, for whatever reason.

[sanrene]

Wooten still has his job - how scary is that? The guy is obviously unstable and a "postal" candidate.

We do realize that the supposed ethics rule violation had nothing to do with the firing of monigan?

It had to do with her "inaction" when it came to Todd talking to people and making phone calls.

I resent being called a liar when it's a fact. Palin DID fire the longtime police chief after being elected Mayor of Wasilla. She also sent a letter to the librarian.

Here is the article from 1997 from the ADN archives.

Wasilla keeps librarian, but police chief is out (2/1/1997): Gov. Sarah Palin | adn.com

Here are some other aricles.

Palin pressured Wasilla librarian: Gov. Sarah Palin | adn.com

Police Chief: Palin Fired Me For Campaign Contributors

Palin was almost recalled as Mayor because of her irresponsible actions. This isn't a rumor, so why are you calling me a liar for stating what has been in several news sources and is a matter of public record?

And you questions Obama's candor? Please..

You and the repugs arent getting off that easy.

It had to do with her "inaction" regarding Todd's advocacy.

Nancy, this is what you posted:

She fired the Library Director and the longtime local Police Chief.

It's a lie that the "Library Director " was fired. Palin tried to fire the city librarian and it didn't stick. Yes, she's a vindicative, shallow, brain dead woman, but if you want to fight against her, at least do so with the truth.
