Palin was three months old when she left Idaho. Maybe there's some explanation for this that
I don't know of yet. But the truth is: Palin constantly makes stuff up to appeal to whatever
audience she is in front of.

It was pure fantasy. He wasn't there.

Politicians often times lie. Palin is nothing new or different.

Anybody who does family history knows what a manufactured memory is. Hear a story enough times, and it becomes your own. There is nothing unusual or pernicious about it.

I don't like Sarah Palin one whit. But on this one, she gets a free pass.

Surely she knows she was only 3 months old when the family left Idaho. I agree this is miniscule, but still. . . .

I know you said she said that, and the writer says she said that, but I don't see the quote anywhere.

I see where the writer leaves himself an out so he doesn't get sued.


"Maybe there's some explanation for this that I don't know of yet."

Way to stick to your guns!

Amazing. I can't remember what color my underwear is, and Sara can remember stuff from when she was 3 months old.

Did she say she remembered when she was three months old, or that she recalls memories of that era in her life?
"My Dad was on a Thursday night bowling league," she said. "He bonded with his buddies. I have memories of that
point of my life which mean very, very much to me."
I remember my parents recalling an era in their lives that made an impression on me, especially the time during the Depression. I didn't live through it, but I have memories of their struggles based on their stories about that era.

Secondly, this is harmless. No one died as a result, and no one suffered as a result of her comments. If you were unbiased, then you would recognize the numerous lies that have been told by Obama.

I'm a conservative, do not like Palin, and desperately hope she is not a factor in 2012. I fail to understand why so many liberals are so fixated on every word she says.
