They clearly aren't the same thing. One is an honest mistake borne out of distraction or fatigue and the other is making up a ridiculous story because she has no clue what Paul Revere, whose tale is one of the most famous in American history, actually did.

Sarah Palin actually has policy?

I don't care about political parties or ideologies. I want the best person in the job possible.

You really think Palin would be a good president?

Offcourse she has a stance in reference to policy.

I agree with her when it comes to drilling, 86ing Obama Care, taxes, smaller government, abortion, etc...

What about Obam lyning about his uncle being part of the first brigade to save Jews from aushwitz? That to me is alot worse than showing a lack of knowledge on history

:lol: Got proof of this? Second, if this is true, how do you know he was lying? Assuming this is true, his Uncle could have told him that and he repeated it. That isn't lying.

Not knowing crap about American history, is much worse.

^Ultimately I think abortion is murder...Ban it and we won't have as many unwanted pregnancies...Ur argument is a practical one....My reason for wanting a ban is a humanitarian one.

Every time Palin opens her mouth to say something crazy, i am glued to the TV. That's why I really wanted Trump to run too. Makes for FANTASTIC television.

So let's say a woman has unprotected sex, and is impregnated (we are somehow sure about this). She takes the morning after pill the next day, and it is successful.

Somewhere else, a man takes a gun and shoots somebody in the back of the head, let's say it's his 10 year old son, and kills him instantly.


Do you believe both people should face the same penalty?

Not knowing a VERY well known fact about American history is A LOT worse than what Obama said (especially when the person usually gets easy stuff wrong). First, he did NOT say his uncle was "part of the first brigade to save Jews from aushwitz" in the video. Nor does it show his uncle wasn't in the army. And of course, you seem to be missing the larger point in the video, Obama is making the point how Vets back then didn't get the help they needed when they returned.

Palin just doesn't know much of anything. She keeps proving that.
