Emerson tapped for Palin “Truth Squad”
With the national press corps parachuting into Anchorage and conspiracy theories flying across cyberspace, the GOP has formed a coalition to stand-up for veep nominee Sarah Palin. 
Among the 20 members of Palin’s national “Truth Squad” — all females — is U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson, a Republican from Cape Girardeau.
“We will not allow those on the left and in the media to smear a woman who has always served her constituents with honor,” said former Massachusetts Gov. Jane Swift, another Squad member in a statement Tuesday. “We know the truth and are committed to ensuring it as well.”
As the Riverfront Times points out, bogus pictures like this one have been circulating the Internet such Palin joined the ticket.
Far more substantive, however, is a story on the front page of yesterday’s Washington Post that examined Palin’s travel expenses as governor of Alaska.
Earlier in the campaign, presidential nominee John McCain formed his own “Truth Squad” in an attempt to knock down stealth opposition in the primary.
McCain, perhaps more than most candidates, knows the damage viral political attacks can inflict — his 2000 bid for the presidential nominee was torpedoed by a smear campaign in South Carolina.
Can’t wait to see how Palin’s (Karl Rove) Truth Squad will attempt to SPIN the travel expenses she build her state while she was staying in her own primary home.
Everyone can see that the pictures were a fake and is why I never even bothered to mention those pictures, all with the same exact head-shot. Most people are not that stupid, even though some pretend to be.
should have written, “billed” not build above.
How are they going to spin the cheif that Palin claimed to have fired and how she bet her children missed this chef’s cooking, when IT WAS A LIE, and where this same cook was just reassigned but, still continued to cook for Palin’s children.
My, my Palin is a piece of work so like her mentor Karl Rove. Boy can they SPIN and LIE!
The Neo-femi-nazis didn’t mind Hillary getting smeared from the Right. So much for the “Truth Squad”…The same group of women who criticized Hillary for not wanting to stay home and bake cookies. The same group of women who admired Nancy Reagan for recognizing her role as First Lady which consisted of selecting the White House china.
Slow day fellas?
DNC-TV/MSNBC and CNN both initially ran with the bikini picture as authentic.
D.-“Whew, and I’m nuts”—WALKER, so once again you’re glaringly wrong.
btw D.Walker, do you know what spam means?
===
Garrison, prove that the right accused Hilary Clinton of not “staying home and baking cookies”. You’re taking a comment that Hilary made and twisting it into a Republican comment. Nice try. Scrutiny of Palin’s record is reasonable, just like it’s reasonable (and common) to have foot soldiers out there refuting any lies that are brought up.
D., you throw the word “LIES” out quite consistently, but here is the story regarding Palin’s chef, as reported by the Anchorage Daily News:
http://dwb.adn.com/news/politics/story/9090479p-9006523c.html
Notice the comments by the chef in question who mentioned her last day of work. This is why Palin needs the “truth police”…to refute comments like yours.
Dr. D. Walker, peidiatrican, what in hades are you smoking. Do you sell it on the net?
Fact, Dr. you spin more than any person I know. A truth squad would not be necesaary if liberals didn’t LIE. Understand. Do you know that Sarah has an 82 percent favorable rating from ALL Alaskans, Democcrats, Rebublicans and, the Alaska Independent Party.
Why have the 50 or more private Inveatigtors Obama Dispatched to Alaska have come up with NOTHING? I was talking to a rriend of mine in Alaska last night and one Had a Hussein goon asking him questions about Sarah.
How ridiculuos can Obama be? What would 50 invistigators find about him? It would take moths to sort out all his dirty deals.
Why don’t you go back to being a pediatrician for down syndrome babies and leave politics to people with more sense?
For Gawds sake DR, Name one person who
Dr, Walker, pediatrican, Why would Sarah, who can field drees a moose and take it home and hang it, and then process into its various cuts and sauusages need a Chef? For Gawds sake is an excellent cook.
Dr. Walker be sure to scrub before you handle any down syndrome babies. Coming out of a sewer and handling any child is not the right thing to do .
Why spread lies about Palin when the truth provides a wealth of material? Sane women who are still upset about Hillary could not possibly vote for the Republican ticket if they care anything about women’s rights and humanitarian values.
johnh,
MRS. SARAH IS A EXCELLENT STUDENT OF HER MENTOR KARL ROVE!
Remember what you are stating when the CHEF situation hit the media, IT’S COMING, Mrs. Sarah LIED as and DISTORTED as she has done with most of her claims to fame.
BobZ, NOT TRUE! I may be wrong, but I never saw such reported that way on CNN, could you please prove this to us?

WHAT ABOUT MRS. SARAH’S DISTORTION?
She’s beginning to sound like a Yellow Nape Amazon:
I told Congress, thanks but, no thanks to that “Bridge To Nowhere”.

Wow, a republican “Truth Squad” Yeah, what ever happened John McCain’s black baby Bush was talking about in South Carolina back in 2000? Are there any reports that she is voting for Obama? Too bad the dems won’t fund a 527 called Hanoi Hilton Veterans for Truth. I mean the whole Swift Boat thing worked so well back in 2004.
johnh,
One last thing, what about the “Rapid Response Team” McCain’s campaign (Karl Rove)sent to Alaska to interfere in the investiagtion against Palin?
Why are they attempting to keep it secret their relationship with Karl Rove? Could it be because then it would be so oviously the “Same Old, Same Old?
johnh, while you are at it, answer for us since you know the beauty queen and her husband so well, in fact, since you claim they are such good friends of yours, find out for us ALL since no one else, not even the media can ask her anything. Will you ash the beauty queen:
WHY IS SHE FOLLOWING KARL ROVE’S ADVICE of turning and twisting and distorting things into problems when they are NOT, SO THAT THEY CAN AVOID TALKING ABOUT THE ISSUES?
Also ask Palin why she supported the Chief of Police as Mayor to bill rape victims for the rape kits that must be used in such crimes against WOMEN?
WHAT IS THAT BLAME AND BILL THE RAPE VICTIM FOR RAPE KITS? How ridiculous, like I said, this partnership McCain/Palin in the White House will set women back 100 years!
johnh, you’ve got a BIG ASSIGNMENT here for us, now go at it!
While I am at it, Why don’t the media ask McCain, why is he so comfortable hiding behind a woman’s skirt. What a wimp McCain is and all those men out there who would like to have a Sarah Palin to take care of them so that they can play Mr. Mom, or more like sit on their rear while nannies and cooks parent and care for their children so that they can escape being the MAN that God intended!
“Among the 20 members of Palin’s national “Truth Squad” — all females — is U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson, a Republican from Cape Girardeau.”
Are they all going to be blond and blue-eyed as well? Do they all suffer from tetany? I ask only because recently every one I have seen on one national show or another has that fixed clenched bite down “smile”. Also, they all talk loud and fast as if they can out talk anyone else they have made their point.
Just curious.
All you’re going to get out of this so-called “truth squad” is lies with lipstick on ‘em.
Hey WE HAVE MORE BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!
AND SOME WANT TO KEEP REPUBLICANS AT THE HELM OF THIS COUNTRY?
FOOLS, FOOLS, FOOLS, McCain is one of their puppets now.
A REPUBLICAN SEX AND OIL SCANDAL. Interior Department Officials had illicit sex with oil employees rigging oil contracts! Breaking News as I type this.
Not at all suprising and typical the Bush/Cheney oil-men and their ilk.
SARAH PALIN, ALASKA, OIL, KARL ROVE, BUSH/CHENEY!!!!!
Its all about OIL. The will do anything and everything in the name of their god OIL!!!!
> Most people are not that stupid, even though some pretend to be.
D. Walker, you do an admirable job of pretending.

D. Walker, McCain isn’t hiding behind Palin. It’s just that unlike Obama, he isn’t too small to share the limelight. If Obama wasn’t so insecure, he’d have picked Hillary, and he’d still be ahead.
As far as men who would like to “play Mr. Mom” - you’ve posted a lot of stupid things over the last few months, but this takes the cake. For years, Mr. Palin worked while Sarah stayed home. When she was elected governor, I’m sure he stepped up and spent more time taking care of the kids. Nothing wrong with that. Those of us who have attractive, intelligent wives appreciate them, whether they work outside the home or serve as homemakers and full-time mothers. Why would you demean a man who steps up to support an intelligent, successful woman like Palin? You are really sick.
Rather than put together a hit squad, maybe Sarah should just STOP LYING!
Well, Jo Ann, git to it, girlfriend!!! Now…are you going to be working to uncover the absolute truth, you know…the facts as they are, whether good or bad, or the “truth” that’s simply expedient for the Republican slime machine to manipulate, or better said, Roviate?
Here is more palin truth for you
Palin and women
As mayor of Wasilla, Sara Palin charged victims of rape for the forensic testing and collection of evidence, rape kit. She was Mayor of Wasilla from 1996 to 2002 and city council from 92-96 The troopers and most muni agencies covered the cost. Not the city of Wasilla, the police dept charged for the rape kit. Governor Tony Knowles an man put a stop to this in 2000. Sara appointed police Chief f Charlie Fannon he disagreed with the law. “The law will require the city and communities to come up with more funds to cover the costs of the forensic exams.” Take note the article says they charged insurance companies, so that left victim with co-payments assuming all had insurance and it wasn‘t a denied clime. Knowles signs sexual assault bill frontiersman 5/23/2000
http://www.frontiersman.com/articles/2000/05/23/news.txt
Recently she replaced the police commissioner with Chuck Kopp. He has a prior work record of sexual harassment that he was reprimanded for. Sara is obviously for abstinence only education, No abortion even in the case of rape, and incest Alaska is 1 in the country for rape and incest.
While its great she went back to work 3 days after having her child, what message does that send to bonding families, healing mothers and employers not happy with maternity leave. Sara has signed up with a man who has consistently voted against equal pay for women. Is she really a woman or is she a man trapped in a woman body with lipstick.
As time goes by, Sarah Palin’s own words and actions as Mayor and Gov. will sink the McCain/Palin campaign. It’s evident that the McCain campaign knows this because they are only allowing her to make her “canned” stump speech time after time, prohibiting contact with the press, and establishing the “truth squad” of only women to scream Sexism whenever she is asked a tough question.
McCain did no favors for the GOP, Palin and women in public service when he didn’t properly vet her. In the end, McCain and the GOP spin machine will blame Sarah if he loses the election.
