I'm unaware of any lie about this....?

What I said in my initial post was:

"... we had previously determined that she doesn't read any current events or political science publications, that she can see Russia from Alaska which qualifies as international experience, and that she let the McCain campaign run all over her and keep her from being able to assert herself."

In saying this, I was referring to her interview with Charles Gibson. Specifically, here's a copy of the exchange that came to mind:

Quote:
CHARLES GIBSON (ABC NEWS)

(Off-camera) What insight into Russian actions particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of this state give you?

GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN (REPUBLICAN VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE)

They’re our next door neighbors. And you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska.
I took this from the best transcript I could find in a few minutes, at: http://www.clipsandcomment.com/2008/...gibson-part-i/

The brainwashing of those on the left is amazing to witness.
Hilarious.

GIBSON: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you?

PALIN: They’re our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.

I cited a specific example.... a left wing poster made a comment that she does not read any material to give her knowledge. The only place to gain such an assumption is from the Katie Couric interview which purposely tried to portray a negative image.

The truth of the matter was that Couric had (4) hours of interview coverage. Palin by the time Couric asked this question was completely irritated with Couric's bull crap. When Couric asked the question, Palin had enough and decided not to play along anymore. The mistake Palin made was not her past of not reading magazines and other material which she clearly does do as revealed by later interview. Her mistake was allowing Couric to play the stupid game and then getting frustrated with the tactics. She should have taken the high road and just answered the questions or ended the interview. Palin clearly made a mistake, but it was not what the previous poster claims. The previous poster displays ignorance as they have not chosen to educate themselves on Palin, yet are willing to make ignorant comments about her that can be proven wrong.

My post has substance behind it and therefor is not a troll, flamebait, etc...

Unlike what you have just done in your response and will likely do after this post. You troll 90% of the time. Many posters have told me to just put you on ignore. I have never done that to ANY poster anywhere.

In technical terms she is correct according to many sources.

I'm not a left-wing poster, I'm anti-idiot.

As I said, if she couldn't answer the question the first time, and wasn't able to follow-up with a better answer once people started commenting on it, then what am I to do with that? You never answered that one.

Please provide proof that Katie Couric purposely tried to portray a negative image of Sarah Palin. Otherwise, it's just another opinion that you shouldn't couch as some sort of definite fact. I'm of the opinion that Palin couldn't answer the question, and there's evidence to prop that up into "fact" territory.

Nobody was arguing that you can see Russia from Alaska, it was that this somehow qualifies as international experience or insight into foreign policy.

Can you see that from Alaska?

Her experience in foreign relations equates or even exceeds BHO's at the time.

Funny how "experience" wasn't even a quality anyone who voted for Obama felt was necessary...or wanted. They brushed off having experience as something we didnt want...look at what experience has gotten us they said.
We need change...a fresh take.

But with Palin....experience is somehow a valuable asset again...lol. Flip flopping libs.
