They were both gaffes but when you try your hardest (i.e. a whole paragraph) just to make one seem like an accident while the other one not, then you lose credibility (only if you had any to begin with)
He was right when he typed this:

Quote:
As soon as Palin opened her mouth in the Katy Couric interview, McCain/Palins approvals started to tank.
The comments she made about the McCain camp. were right on as well. It's obvious that the Palien tried to utilize her typical style of infighting and conflict during her time as the VP candidate.

I have only stated the facts. I guess I can understand why the facts confuse you. You are the person who is getting personal and all emotional. That's cool. Here's a tissue.

I already responded to this, but I left off the link. Here it is. You tell me what Obama meant, a year ago today, if not that everyone's kids should be off limits.

I'll thank you not to accuse me of lying again.

Obama: Children are off limits - First Read - msnbc.com
I have said before and I will repeat again, I think people’s families are off limits, and people’s children are especially off limits. This shouldn’t be part of our politics, it has no relevance to governor Palin’s performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president.

he (or she) is not talking about what obama said though.

luckily, there is also a record of what palin said:

"The problem is the double standard that has been applied here. Remember in the campaign, Barack Obama said 'family's off limits, do not talk about my family,' and 'the Candidate Who Must Be Obeyed,' everybody adhered to that and they did leave his family alone. They didn't do that on the other side of the ticket, and it has continued to this day."

she's not exactly saying that obama said to leave only his children alone, but she is sidestepping the fact that he actually said to leave HER family alone.

So let's juxtaspose what Sarah said to what Obama said.

Sarah:

Obama:

Its very simple and you are the one twisting it. You said that Sarah lied by saying Obama only meant his family was off-limits. That is completely untrue and you are putting words in her mouth and trying to paint her as a liar.

All she said was that Obama said family should be off limits and that the media only applied that to the Obamas and not the Palins. She didnt say anything like you are accusing her of (that Obama only meant his family was off limits)

She was taking a shot at the media, not Obama.

And maybe you werent lying. You just didnt understand the quotes. Or you were just trying to twist her words to make her look bad.

She lied when she stated that Obama said, "do not talk about MY family". He clearly meant everyone's families. Sarah knows that. And she's trying to pin the talk about her family on Obama by calling him "He who must be obeyed".

What have I said that is "spin"? I am quoting Sarah's very own words! She didn't get that nickname "Sarah Barracuda" for nothing!
