How could you tell such lies?

CNN invited the public to ask former Republican vice presidential candidate Palin questions, some of which Wolf Blitzer would ask during his interview, so I asked -

How could you Broadcast such Big Bad Bold Bombs including:

1. your Seditious Allegations against President-elect Obama, including that he would "experiment with socialism" and your spin on Ayers? How does it feel to have the Secret Service blame you for increasing the number of death threats against him? How could you incite so much unrest and aid our enemies this way during wartime? Do you understand that the First Amendment does sanction defamation and sedition?

2. the ORWELLIAN Lie you told about the Branchflower findings? How could you have such CONTEMPT of the law?

3. all your other "Odd Lies"? Why do you repeatedly publicly deny reality? Why are you unable to process and/or accept facts?

Surprise! Blitzer did not ask my specific questions. See the interview on CNN's "The Situation Room" - here's part from the transcript:

BLITZER: ... during a campaign, every presidential campaign, things are said, it's tough, as you well know; it gets sometimes pretty fierce out there. And during the campaign, you said this, you said: "This is not a man who sees America as you see it and how I see America." And then you went on to say: "Someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect that he is palling around with terrorists who would target their own country."

PALIN: Well, I still am concerned about that association with Bill Ayers. And if anybody still wants to talk about it, I will, because this is an unrepentant domestic terrorist who had campaigned to blow up, to destroy our Pentagon and our U.S. Capitol. That's an association that still bothers me. And I think it's still fair to talk about it. However, the campaign is over. That chapter is closed. . .

BLITZER: So looking back, you don't regret that tough language during the campaign?

PALIN: No, and I do not think that it is off-base nor mean-spirited, nor negative campaigning to call someone out on their associations and on their record. And that's why I did it.

Is her unrepentant position acceptable to you? Let her and the world know by commenting on this post. As for me, I say, Ms. Palin, your pathological lies make you unfit for office, so please step down as governor and NEVER seek public office again.

no, but what to do? certain people still take her seriously - or at least Wolf said something like that at the start of his interview.
