Lies, Half Truths and Contradictions: Chronicle ''Hidden'' Audio on Obama

[truthisfreedom]

''Barack Obama explained his plan to the San Francisco Chronicle this year,'' she told a rally in Ohio Sunday. ''He said that sure, if the industry wants to build coal-fired power plants, then they can go ahead and try, he says, but they can do it only in a way that will bankrupt the coal industry.''

She added, ''And you've got to listen to the tape.''

''Why is the audiotape just now surfacing?'' Palin asked the crowd, according to a report from CBS News. Someone in the crowd shouted, ''Liberal media!'

Let's be very clear: the Chronicle did not, and has never, hidden any interview, audio or video, of Obama from its readers. The truth: the paper's January editorial board session with Obama included comments about coal. The entire interview has been in the public domaine, available on line to the public -- and to the McCain campaign -- since early January.

1. Someone's always yelling at their crowds at just the right time to be heard.

2. Yet again Palin' McCain repeat crap without first verifying it. What if it were NATIONAL SECURITY

3. Repugs (especially Palin) got punked, again.

"The Drudge Report, the Republican National Committee and apparently even GOP VP candidate Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin fell for completely fabricated news from a shady website called Newsbusters today suggesting the San Francisco Chronicle has "hidden" audio with Sen. Barack Obama regarding his statements on coal".

"We contacted Bill Riggs, regional press secretary of the Republican National Committee tonight on his emailing of this erroneous report suggesting a ''hidden'' Chronicle audiotape to political reporters. His response: he didn't confirm it, or write the headline. He just sent it out".

"He got taken. And so did the rest".

7. And its broadcast as 'truth,'

so how many 'undecideds' pick up on it? F-x, by chance?

[Delphinus]

11. And this is what worries me.

Hard to believe there could possibly be any undecideds, but lies like this will swing them over the edge.

4. When are your medical records going to surface, Sarah? nt

[cartach]

9. Would you want

your medical records released if you had been treated for some embarassing/serious medical conditions. All you have to do is use your imagination on this one,it could open a real can of worms. And that my friends is the only reason that a seemingly healthy and relatively young women would hesitate as she has done to release her records.

5. This is why there's no "October surprise"

October leaves too much time to debunk. Expect a few more stinkbombs.

[machI]

10. Or the McCain camp is so inept they couldn't put together their surprises quickly enough

These Republicans will still be fielding negative stores after Obama wins. Shear inertia in their system will keep them going

6. "Why is the audiotape just now surfacing?"

Because you just decided to try to create an issue out of it? If I'm close to the real reason, Mrs. Palin, just drop your "g" or say "you betcha." I'll understand.

12. About Palin's medical records

I think she's just bringing more attention to the story of her
baby. Her medical records will show weither she really HAD a
baby, in the past 10 months. If it shows that she never had a
baby then the shit hits the fan in a HUGH way. Just wish it
all comes out today...
