K.Kiley,

I’ll lead you through this in baby steps, which you obviously require. First, give me the link the document that you allege contains the word “certificate” on it, and tell me when it was created and which state officials vouched for it. Caution: No word other than “certificate” — exact match — is acceptable. Also, link me to the birth announcement with Barack Obama’s name on it. Again, his name MUST appear on it, no substitutes! Thanks again.

The WSJ piece doesn't provide any more names than Sullivan. As the Riehl post and countlesss other posts and stories make obvious, the "sources close to the McCain Campaign" are the same losers who sabotaged Palin during the campaign. Otherwise, there would be NO REASON for Sullivan or the WSJ to keep them anonymous. If their names were revealed, it would be obvious to everyone that they have no credibility.

I don't think so. She's winning from all angles. Her influence and book sales are sky-rocketing while your side is crashing and burning SELF DESTRUCT: The Dems, with their corrupt practices brought by Obama’s Chicago thugs, ARE THE ONES SELF-DESTRUCTING. Have you seen their poll numbers lately? They are all going south. Have you watched the President's approval ratings plummet? @Diane:

She was unqualified to be VP and if you listen to her fellow Alaskans, she was not a great gov. either. She has a history of threatening people with legal actions when she does not like what they say. Let her destroy herself. She has nothing to offer except herself as a victim. palin destroyed herself.

Fortunately, these folks only represent about 2% of the people who read this particular post, and many of the other readers came in from other sources (like Bloglines, etc.) So, hopefully, the other 98% are a lttle more rational.

Too bad they were all birthed from eggs w/ thin shells and since Mamma Sullivan only feeds her chicks a steady diet of irrationality, ad hominem, and non sequitur I guess you can't expect too much in the way of reasoned debate. (Then again, if you're like some of these posters and believe that the status of Palin's vagina is 'fair game', well, you were already pretty nuts to begin with.)

It was Palin's responisbility to support McCain-not the other way around. However, if there is one thing that is true, Sarah Palin is all about one thing-herself. Exposing her as the fraud that she is is what Sullivan has done and had Palin sued she would have lost because Sullivan has printed and asked questions based on evidence in the public domain. Palin could have answered them-but chose not to. Palin deserves all of the scorn she gets. “McCain minions who sabotaged Palin during last year’s presidential campaign”
