1. CNN did a great job of making sure voters think Palin is not to blame.

4. I just plain don't liek Jessica Yellin

It's her style of reporting. She did it during the primaries as well. I find it particularly interesting that media people would go out of their way to scare us to death about WMD's but on something that is vastly closer to home like rape and incest they use light language.

Jessica Yellin sucks!!!

5. Sexual assault rate in Wasilla is astounding!

The police chief claims costs of $5-$15K/yr, at 1K a kit that is 5 to 15 rapes in a town of less than 10,000 people. Sounds like these people are animals. Just incredible.

7. Palin was the boss of the police chief and even fired the one before him.

It is disingenuous to say that Palin didn't know about it. Such BS.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/702/

The Anchorage Daily News reported that Palin delivered letters to Police Chief Irl Stambaugh and City Librarian Mary Ellen Emmons on Jan. 30, 1997, saying their employment with the city would end. The reports said Palin took the action because she felt the two did not fully support the changes that she wanted to make as the newly elected mayor. Both Stambaugh and Emmons had publicly supported Palin's political opponent, incumbent mayor John Stein, in the 1996 mayoral campaign, the reports noted.

8. Please vote this up at youtube and add comments! I also recommend going to "favorable" Palin videos

and leave comments about this on those videos.
