50. I paid my buck and shared the PDF
Edited on Sat Oct-18-08 07:08 AM by OnTheOtherHand
Being assimilated into Palast's personal fundraising operation was not really a priority for me, but I wanted to see what he was saying.

Some folks over at Daily Kos are ticked at Palast because they have first-hand information about the registration rolls in New Mexico and Colorado, and they know he is misrepresenting the registration purges in those states. (I don't remember whether those particular misrepresentations show up in the comic book.) Not to be confused with the purge efforts in Michigan and Montana that fell afoul of court scrutiny (or the Ohio Republicans' demands that just got blocked by the U.S. Supreme Court).

I like investigative reporters who try to distinguish facts from hype. That isn't really Palast's gig. I don't know why.

ETA: By the way, I don't mean that I reposted the comic. Palast has a right to make money this way, however ethically suspect some of us might find it. I did share it with a few people who wanted to see it but would never have given Palast the buck.
