palintruth.org - All Palin & McCain lies in one place

[Joanne98]

Well, "all" is my goal, but it is amazingly hard to keep up with how fast these people are lying. I launched the site one week ago yesterday, and with a few contributions from other dkos posters, I have been able to get fourteen articles compiled so far. Basically, what I'm trying to do is find as many corroborating links as I can for each "theme", but I know for every source I've found there are probably just as many that I have missed. I know this site is all I've posted about this week, but the response I've been getting tells me that people really do want something like this as a resource to help push back against the wave of BS. As always, I know some of the articles are still too brief, and any and all suggestions for improving the site or additional sources to link into existing articles is welcome. In particular, any video/audio links to support the latest two stories (Palin/experience, McCain/honesty) would be great.

The full list of articles is after the fold.

2501's diary :: ::
Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin's Experience
Examines recent revelations of how Palin's record shows her to be someone who abuses her office and rewards old friends over experienced civil servants.
"Selling" the Governor's Jet on eBay
The fully story, including how it wasn't really her idea (w/video)
Sarah Palin's "Alaskanomics"
Expanded version of a diary written by MaximusNYC, with a large number of quotes added.
"Opposing" the Bridge to Nowhere
Covers the story including links to national and local news video.
The anti-American Alaska Independence Party
This is by far the most viewed article on the site. It contains three embedded videos, but could probably use more actual text.
Sarah Palin as "Mainstream Hockey Mom"
Short article about some of Palin's reputation as being outside the mainstream. Needs better sourcing.
Is Sarah Palin a Fiscal Conservative?
Another one that currently needs expansion and better sourcing.

John McCain
John McCain's Honesty
Originally posted here by Chris Carlson, a long list of newspapers weighing in on McCain's lack of honesty.
McCain, Palin, Rape Victims & Unwed Mothers
Ties McCain and Palin not only to charging for rape kits, but also to each's history of being against funding for women's programs, with video. IMO this is the most important article on the site.
John McCain's Memory
A beginning examination of McCain's poor memory and/or dishonesty, with a couple video clips. I'm sure there are many more examples I could add here.
John McCain's Opinion of Palin and Spending
Discusses what McCain has said in the past and on the campaign trail about earmarks, and how that compares to Palin's record of hogging up earmarks.
Is John McCain a "maverick"?
A short article, with some video.

Barck Obama
"Obama's" Sex Education Bill
Video and links to articles which debunk the advertisement.
Obama's Anti-smear Site
This is basically a placeholder until I can get more Obama articles on the site.
