See James Grimaldi’s 2nd Alaska Probe Finds Palin Did Not Violate Ethics Rules in today’s online edition of the Washington Post:

FactCheck.org caught McCain-Palin’s lie regarding Barack Obama’s support for clean coal, but that hasn’t stopped them from putting out their robocalls in coal states on the eve of the 2008 election.
See the September 30, 2008, Annondale Political Fact Check, Not Coming Clean on Coal.
A McCain-Palin ad claims the Obama-Biden ticket opposes clean coal. Not true. [...]

Blooomberg.com reports that, calling Palin’s charge a “last-minute, desperate distortion” of Obama’s record, Governor Ted Strickland of Ohio warns that while John McCain wants to abandon coal, Obama wants [...]

Sarah Palin falsely accused Barack Obama of saying, in a secret tape kept hidden by the Main Stream Media, that he wants to bankrupt the coal industry.
“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 [...]

With the polls opening in less that 48 hours, McCain-Palin ignores its promise to release Palin’s medical records.
Despite the campaign’s Tracey Schmitt telling the Washington Post nearly a week ago that the Republican campaigng was preparing “a release of information regarding (Palin’s) medical history” and the release ”will happen sooner rather than later,” a single record has yet to surface and [...]

Those thinking that the report of Sarah Palin calling Barack Obama “Sambo” and Hilary Clinton “the bitch” should be ignored, because it is based on hearsay, fail to understand the hearsay rule.
Conservative blogs seemed to have convinced themselves that the story was completely lacking in merit, once they determined that the owners of the site [...]

When Obama got the Democratic nomination for president, Palin publicly referred to Obama as “Sambo” and Hilary Clinton as “the bitch”.
See Alaskans Speak (In A Frightened Whisper): Palin Is “Racist, Sexist, Vindictive, And Mean” by Charley James.

Palin made her ugly comment in front of a partly Aboriginal waitress.
The Governor, seemingly not [...]

To release them in a pre-election Friday Halloween dump would be a master rovian stroke.
This writer knows that most of us will be busy with more important goblins and monsters than political terrors at the bewitched dumping hour.
Palin released her tax returns as part of a Friday dump, and then we only got a measly two years [...]

In a desperate effort to avoid the call of Obama’s latest ad, which contains not a single word about Sarah Palin, McCain-Palin surrogates label it as a “cheap shot”attack on Palin.
Take a look at the ad and then judge the cheap shot attack piece.
Now, take a gander at an editorial from the [...]
