The Obama-run site quotes the Anchorage Daily News story out of context, omitting this:
Palin said she rejected the bill despite her disagreement with a state Supreme Court order earlier this month that directed the state to offer benefits to same-sex partners of state employees.Palin asked the Alaska legislature to approve a ballot initiative for a constitutional amendment to ban such benefits, but the May 2007 vote in the legislature came up five votes short of the required two-thirds majority. (Want to guess how Democrats voted?)
Advice from her new attorney general said the bill passed by the Legislature was unconstitutional, she said.
"Signing this bill would be in direct violation of my oath of office," Palin said in a prepared statement released by her administration Thursday night.
The SarahPalinGayRights.com site is nothing but a dishonest attempt by Team Obama to distort Palin's record, a cynical smear that underestimates the intelligence of Christian conservatives and other opponents of the Democrats' own gay agenda.
UPDATE: LFG corrects:
There is apparently no connection between these attack sites and the official Obama campaign. . . .So it's not Team Obama, officially, but rather one of their demented supporters who's doing this.
[T]he point still stands that it's more than a little slimy to be a supporter of the "progressive" campaign of Barack Obama, then turn around and use Sarah Palin's pro-gay rights positions against her in a creepy anonymous web site.
LGF gives no proof whatsoever that Obama's campaing runs anti-Palin site. The only thing they discovered is that anti-Palin's site is affiliated with another site which redirects to official Obama's site. Anyone can have a site redirecting to another site.
ReplyDeleteWhat you say is like saying that I work for George Bush because I have a picture of George Bush at my wall.
Of course, LGF doesn't claim to have any proof that anti-Palin site is run by Obama's campaign, but what they say seems to be enough for the computer-ignorant to believe that the case is closed.
Hey nikolay,
ReplyDeleteDid you even bother to read the link?
"UPDATE at 8/30/08 12:39:29 pm:
Please note that this is not proof that the Obama campaign is behind this deceptive web site; that's why the title ends with a question mark. But it's definitely not what it seems."
I would say, based on posting times, no.
LGF has now updated stating that the site has nothing to do with obama. You should update this post if you want to give an impression that you are honest. :)
ReplyDeleteYou republicans post anything without any validity. I can make a site within 5 minutes with an ip address to another website that I can make in another 5 minutes, pointing to the john mccain website calling all whites hicks. would you guys run with that news? of course not. you'd try to refute it.
use your common sense please. it makes you guys look stupid. then again you guys don't have any common sense. It's why the republican party is in the predicament they are right now. false accusations.
sigh.
Did you even bother to read the link?
ReplyDeleteYes I did. Did you bother to read my comment? I stressed the fact that LGF doesn't give any proof that Obama's campaing had anything to do with the smear site, only innuendo, which didn't prevent the author of this blog from putting guesses as facts.
this is what you call the update that i called for, a half assed one which still calls out democrats for their shady practices?
ReplyDeleteAnd I quote: "An award winning columnist and reporter"
hmmm what was the award in?
anyway let me do your reporting for you. if you read the whole article which you sourced, including the comments! you will see there is a back and forth and some info is revealed.
let me break it down for you, so you don't have to strain yourself.
the website in question, if you do a search on the domain owner, leads you to an address in scottsdale AZ, doing a search regarding this address leads you to a company by the name of "Details Contract Furnishings"
now the president of this company is named Suzzane Hendrix.
Ms. hendrix also owns obamadefense. the other website in question.
what other websites does ms hendrix own and operate?
pumapac.org
she is also the head of pumapac
now what is pumapac, is your question I suppose
it is a republican based blog, which pushes republican agenda.
as a matter of fact Suzzane Hendrix is a know conservative republican.
so in turn, the websites in question is run by a republican, and she is trying to put blame on the democrats.
will you now understand what tactics your own party will use to push a point? your own party doesn't like the VP and a choice she made. sigh.
please please please... use your common sense before you post. all this was done within 10 minutes. you could have easily done this and not embarrassed your self. and in turn so could have LGF
now by your own stated standards, Im sure this can be defined also as low. in fact much lower. and these exact tactics are again what has brought you to where your party is at today. change has to come from some place. how about you start that change.
lets take your own words "So it's not Team Obama, officially, but rather one of their demented supporters who's doing this. "
and "The SarahPalinGayRights.com site is nothing but a dishonest attempt by Team Obama to distort Palin's record, a cynical smear that underestimates the intelligence of Christian conservatives and other opponents of the Democrats' own gay agenda."
can we update your post to state the following:
"So it's not Team Obama, officially, but rather one of their demented supporters OF REPUBLICANS who's doing this. "
and:
"The SarahPalinGayRights.com site is nothing but a dishonest attempt by Team MCCAIN to distort Palin's record, a cynical smear that underestimates the intelligence of THE AMERICAN PUBLIC and other opponents of the CONSERVATIVE' REPUBLICANS own gay agenda."
now that the tables have turned will you stand up and call yourself and the republicans responsible for this act the same names you just called the democrats? if you dont does that mean you would be a hypocrite?
now this is going to come out in the next few days... a known republican tried to smear the democratic party by using slimey tactics and false accusations! what will you say about it? stay silent? or give all the shouting and raise such a stink that all you republicans did today?
Given that this domain has a proxied whois record AND given that it is hosted in space that is not associated with anything Obama, I find it hard to believe that you had any "proof" in the first place. There is not link and never was a link to the Obama campaign. Should be start attributing every moronic statement of Ann Coulter to McCain?
ReplyDeleteWhile the update is appropriate, this article (that was x-posted to AmSpec should be withdrawn in its entirety.

If your information is that incorrect do not leave the article up and post a little disclaimer below saying *oh yeah we were wrong, it wasn't Obama, our mistake*. Most people don't read past the article, so why don't you spend the damn time to fix it you lazy blogger?
