Do liberals owe Sarah Palin an apology?

Question

According to this article:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081104/ap_on_el_pr/palin_troopergate

She was cleared of all charges for "troopergate". Does the liberal smear machine owe her an apology? If not will the liberal smear machine at least admit they were WRONG?

Answer 1

If she was Obama, someone would have to apologize.

He's had to be apologized so much during this time and has denounced so many people its been ridiculous.

Answer 2

Liberals admit they are wrong?

When they can be hypocritical?

That simply isn't possible.

A few days ago, one particular liberal was still ranting that somehow BIL AYERS wasn't a terrorist, since he was not convicted.

His reasoning was that since Bill Ayers, although arrested in 1976, was released in 1977, due to "Prosecutorial Misconduct".

Do you believe OJ is guilty or innoncent?

A stupid prosecutor, is all that kept Ayers out of prison, not innocence. Double jeopardy laws prevent him from being recharged. His colleagues, Evans and Rosenburg, were charged, in 1981, on weapons and explosives charges, to be pardoned by....Bill Clinton, in his final days of office.

Ayers was a terrorist. He is still definitely unrepentant, and anti-American, and should NOT be in ANY educational institution, teaching ANYTHING to children.



Palin has been found innocent.

That is different. No lawyer messed up the trial, setting her free.

Her case was properly deliberated, and had come to a successful conclusion.

Liberals should apologize...and take another look at Barry's scumbag friend, Ayers.

Answer 3

confident there is no longer something like a pogrom or 2 to coach who suffers extra, an Alaskan twit who gets some dying threats and a villager whose house is burned to the floor and whose females are raped in the fields as they run and hide. undesirable, undesirable Palin. She suffered so whilst that propose Katie individual asked what she examine, and that sneaky question approximately the different superb courtroom judgements besides Roe v. Wade. I propose, why could no longer they simply shop on with "Whats your widespread shade", you realize, like they do with Justin Bieber. Sneaky they are. And yet as we talk she nevertheless felt that the media and pundits have been in charge, I propose confident, they have been in uncomplicated terms quoting what she'd stated, and quoting it wisely, yet whilst they actually cared they could make confident she sounded extra suited. i like it whilst the party of private accountability grows ten extra palms to point removed from themselves whilst it incorporates accepting a shred of accountability for the hostility in the country. no count if or no longer Loughner became right into a political junkie bent on saving the country from the evils of Democrats, what has befell is that everybody is listening to approximately how disgusted we are, and have been by employing the habit that so some distance we've been quiet approximately.

Answer 4

The Liberal smear machine has too much of an attitude to ever apologize. They hurt decent people, smear their good names, slander them, and in some cases they hurt the families of the person being smeared.

I'll never , ever forget sitting here watching the John Roberts hearings. Judge Roberts is highly, highly intelligent and handled the attacks coming from Kennedy, Schumer, and Biden like a champ. But I was sitting here watching as the camera cut over to Mrs. Roberts and she was crying. Her husband was under attack by that wild pack of attack dogs and she was hurting for him.

The liberals later on the news were all over her for "putting on quite a show." I'll tell you what, the liberals in congress are like animals.

Answer 5

First of all, she was NOT cleared of anything in the "troopergate" scandal.



The board that said she had "no direct responsibility" for what happened, was a Panel of three appointees - appointed by HER!



A separate legislative Panel looked into this last month and DID hold her responsible! This Panel was made up of Republicans as well as Democrats!



And as for who owes who an apology - Sarah Palin has a LOT of nerve saying that people like me, who live in blue states, and vote for Democratic candidates, aren't as American as her supporters are!



I am a public school teacher. I work with poor children. I have two kids. I pay my mortgage. I pay my taxes. I vote. I volunteer. I try to better myself and my community.



What makes exactly me un-American?



Who died and made her the arbiter of who is and is not a real American????



That was an insult! Plain and simple.



I think WE liberals are deserving of an apology from HER!

Answer 6

No.



"Liberal smear machine"? Faux News at work again...



The State Personnel board who cleared Palin was appointed by her. That would be like you going on trial for something and your judge was someone you had appointed. Oh yeah, that's fair!



It was the State Legislature (consisting of Repubs AND Democratics) who concluded she DID abuse her power, albeit not to the point where any laws were broken.



If anyone is owed an apology, it's that poor guy who lost his job because he wouldn't involve himself in Palin's attempt at revenge.

Answer 7

They owe her an apology in a BIG way for many reasons. They just couldn't stand the new face of feminism, so they did anything to rip her apart.



And this makes me wonder. Has Obama been cleared of the ACORN scandal?



Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

Answer 8

Yeah, they were probably the same guys that absolved Bush of all lies concerning WMD's in Iraq- even though his administration outed the CIA agent and Ambassador who tried to prove otherwise as was later proven to be true. Believe what you must but don't forget that she's just a wacko broad who should be sliding down a brass pole in a darkened bar. Alright, that's a bit much. Ok, she may be a fine Mayor of a town of about 9,000 people, granted, she does after all have some executive experience! "My next Executive decision is, no more snow blowers and snowmobile drag racing after midnight, whether the sun is still up or not! And I mean business, boy do I ever!"

Answer 9

Yes they do, but she is a strong woman that really doesn't need approval. Let some of the people that talk negative about her, live her life in the wilderness, they would be begging to get back to the concrete cities. Have you walked the trail, think not, if ya throw negative comments. She's where most of us would never be, and listen to the jerks that think shes stupid, oh please, I want to be stupid, LMAO! You go girl!

Answer 10

I think she owes Obama an apology for spreading lies and smears about him and just standing there while people [Clansmen ] at her own rally shout out horrible racists statements.http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=Se_iKo3GwRg

Answer 11

are you kidding? liberals are to stubborn to apologize. they are rude, unsophisticated and so many more this answer would be an essay if i listed all of them.

Answer 12

Yes they do!



They owe it to themselves to investigate Obama before entering into a contract with a liar!

Answer 13

I think maybe you would benefit from fact checker. I just read that she was cleared by the personnel department of the state of Alaska. The original charges came from the Congress from the state of Alaska and they found her guilty. So what you had there were two different departments in the same state one saying bad girl the other saying good girl. Who is more right the personnel department or the congress? I couldn't tell you. But I am not apologizing to anyone this is their own mess. And as I have heard my entire life - where there is smoke there is a fire..............

Answer 14

Nah. They were not really impartial. IMO. Most of the reasons I do not like Palin had nothing to do with "troopergate," come to think of it. That was just like a cherry on top, so you can have the cherry back if you want, but my sundae is still delicious.

Answer 15

liberals will never apologize. They only know how to spin things.

Answer 16

Alright, I'm sure the Liberals will get around to it... and write Sarah Palin her apology on a little post-it, once all the Right wing bloggers, and self-righteous talk shows write up their fifteen page report on why they were wrong for slandering Obama.



They'll get right on that, I'm sure.

Answer 17

Yea I do but it won't happen but I don't think Mrs palin is letting stupid crap that they say bother her, She's a tough woman and all I can say is I have already voted and she got my vote!!!!

McCain / Palin 08!!!!!!!

Answer 18

No way, even if she wasn't involved with the "troopergate", which I'm still convinced she was because Todd Palin is a douche, she still tried to ban books. Unforgiveable.

Answer 19

Yes, they do, but their heads are too full of "Obama is awesome" air. When he, along with our Democratic Congress, run this country into the ground even further than we imagined, they will realize what a terrible mistake they have made by voting for the racist Obama. They won't admit that either though.

Answer 20

When pranked a couple of days ago she completely missed her easiest clue, when the prankster gave (intentionally I might add, since he was a Canadian) of the Canadian Prime Minister. It went right over her head. Is that the sort of person you want one heartbeat away from the oval office? Not me, send her back to Alaska. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200.

Answer 21

No. Ironically, she was cleared of wrongdoing of abuse of authority for firing someone by a board that she could fire. Real danger in that investigation pal.



Besides, she owes me an apology for having to hear her mispronounce nuclear.

Answer 22

um, no. because (from the article)



"It conflicts with the first investigation and then casts doubts on both of them. So, it doesn't really resolve anything," he said. "If it did, then I could walk away. It does seem to fly in the face if circumstantial evidence."



READ THE ARTICLE YOU POST! lol

Answer 23

WATCH THIS OBAMA FANS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnIf4et0hwo

Answer 24

I'm no liberal and I still will NOT apologize for all the horrible things I've said about her. I mean look at her!

Answer 25

Palin owes America an apology for even thinking she's qualified to hold the office of vice president, and God forbid...PRESIDENT!

Answer 26

No, this was entirely bogus. The panel that cleared her was appointed by her, and had no legal jurisdiction over the matter. This is just a political ploy, and not a very smart one.

Answer 27

no, she still has her bones in the closet. How could you support anyone who spends 150,000 just for clothes, from the campaign money? She down grades people's morales, but was an unwed mother herself. No apology needed.

Answer 28

Your own article states that this conflicts with the first investigation (by the Legislature). She is not "cleared", in fact, this opens another can of worms, focusing the spotlight on Alaskan politics, and where their sympathies lie, depending on who is doing the "judging".



No one owes anything to Palin. As a public official, she is SUPPOSED to be held accountable for her actions in position. It is SHE who needs to address this issue squarely. You own article also states that she only gave one deposition and was never subpoenaed to appear personally to answer questions. Given her stature, I find it terribly lacking that all they went by was a deposition and they gave their judgement.

Answer 29

No, Sarah Palin is a moron. She needs to go back to her budget deficient small BS meth town with joe the plumber and shut the f up.

Answer 30

Yes and the liberal media also. They have smeared her good name and caused irreparable harm

Answer 31

Well sure they do. But it doesn't work that way.



No one ever admits they were wrong in politics.

Answer 32

Don't bother the liberals right now. They're all wearing black and in mourning.

Answer 33

If she can explain how she could let herself be fooled by a couple of Canadian comedians posing as the President of France, sure!

Answer 34

She owes us one; for not properly parenting her children and having another child in her first years as a first term governor.

Answer 35

She was not cleared! Sure there was one little part that said that there maybe were other reasons for firing Walt Monnegon, HOWEVER, the rest of the report said that she broke ethics laws and yadda yadda yadda.

Answer 36

I don't know about an apology but I think we owe the bi+ch a chargrilled moose dinner for helping us win the election.

Obama/Biden 08 !

Answer 37

Well I'm guessing when she apologizes for all the crap lies she has spread about obama and his campaign, they'll return the favor.





Don't hold your breath.

Answer 38

No. The only reason she got that ruling is because the Personnel board was all hired by HER and she has the power to fire them.



The other ruling was a non-partisan board, they found her liable.

Answer 39

*Pfft* Of course she was. There is little justice in the world.

Answer 40

She is owed many apologies, but she won't get them, and she's not asking for them.

Answer 41

No, she owes people (especially her supporters and constituents) an apology for being involved in a costly abuse of power scandal.

Answer 42

For what? She's an idiot.



Her appointed group cleared her -- yeah, no bias there.

Answer 43

she still has to explain the 150,000 spent on clothes in 2 Months!!!

Answer 44

No, she owes America one for the horrid campaign she has been running.

Answer 45

Yes they do, but not because of "trooper gate".

They need to apologize to her because she is obviously retarded, and the liberals should not pick on people with disabilities.

Answer 46

Some applause for getting away with it maybe, but an apology?



Surely you jest!

Answer 47

No. They just owe her THEIR VOTES.

Answer 48

Nope 'nuff said.

Answer 49

Please, she was already found guilty and she managed to use a legal loophole to get a second investigation. Something's rotten in Juneau.

Answer 50

Somehow I doubt it they will

Answer 51

if the election were starting again, I will smack the hell out of her

she is an idiot now and for ever

Answer 52

No they Don't she was Cleared in Her own Little Mind

Answer 53

No. Sorry but there are still things about her that are just plain scary.

Answer 54

They will just find something else to smear her about

Answer 55

No, she was not cleared of all charges. She was found not to have violated the Alaska state ethics laws. She is still found to have abused her power as governor.



And just so you know, this investigation was begun by a bipartisan committee BEFORE she was picked by McCain.

Answer 56

We owe her an apology for not blasting her even more harshly than what we did.

Answer 57

I definitely think that the liberal media owes Sarah Palin an apology. They were overly critical and cruel to her.

Answer 58

Okay, I'm clearing this up. There's TWO investigations. One bipartisan. One by Palin.



The Alaska Legislative Council is a bipartisan body of state House and Senate members who can convene to make decisions when the full Legislature is not in session. As of July 2008 it was made up of four Democrats and eight Republicans. On July 28, 2008, the Legislative Council voted 12-0 to hire an independent investigator to investigate Palin and her staff for possible abuse of power or improper actions surrounding Monegan's dismissal.



THIS INDEPENDENT TROOPERGATE FOUND SHE ACTED UNETHICAL



The second was filed on September 1, Palin essentially filed an ethics complaint against herself, asking the state Personnel Board to review the case. Her lawyer asked the state Legislature to drop its investigation, saying that by state law, the board had jurisdiction over ethics issues. Palin also asked that the Board review the matter as an ethics complaint."



THIS IS YOUR YAHOO ARTICLE. THE ONE SHE FILED SEPARATELY.



She wasn't found guilty of ethical charges by the second "investigation" but she still an idiot none the less.



Do right wingers apologize when they call Obama a Muslim and "the anti-Christ"?

Answer 59

im glad that after tomorrow, we will never hear from her again.

Answer 60

LAUGH OUT LOUD! "i'm a maverick"

Answer 61

Then I believe the conservatives owe Obama an apology for all the slander they have thrown his way.

Answer 62

What about the smears she spread about Obama? Will she apologize for those? Most likely not. And Obama never spoke of Troopergate at his rallies. While she has said many lies about him, many times at her rallies.... all while her audience was chanting "terrorist" and "kill him".

Answer 63

I think she owes Obama an apology for spreading lies and smears about him and just standing there while people at her own rally shout out horrible racists statements.

Answer 64

Did the guy that got fired get his job back? I'll apologize when that happens.

Answer 65

Why is believing someone is not qualified a smear?

Answer 66

No. I didn't tell her to run for VP.

Answer 67

No, because she really did abuse her powers, I don't owe Sarah Palin sh*t. I think if anything, she owes the american people an apology for being such a disgrace.

Answer 68

No. How about an apology to Obama for all this socialist crap?

Answer 69

What Palin W just said.

Answer 70

Yes, but it wont happen.

Answer 71

Yes they do .......I'm so glad she proved them libs wrong.

TRUE AMERICANS >>> McCain/Palin08

Answer 72

Hecks no!

Answer 73

She is guilty as Hell! and that is what was concluded.

Answer 74

You have got to be kidding me. Liberals admitting anything, much less that they were wrong .

Answer 75

They're not classy enough to do that.

Answer 76

Yes they do, but the won't

Answer 77

They do but it will never happen.

Answer 78

I'll give her an apology when she kisses my @ss. She deserves nothing better than to be shot for all the crap she has done since she has become a governor

Answer 79

They most certainly do. Those damn lefties.

Answer 80

By investigators who signs her paychecks? Ok, whatever you say Mack.

Answer 81

YES

Answer 82

you must be dreaming, liberals would NEVER admit they are wrong

Answer 83

No who cares she stupid

Answer 84

Yes they do. Not only for that, but for the sexist way they treated her in general. Hillary went through this and the liberals all screamed about it. But when the shoe is on the other foot, they revert back to their childish ways.



EDIT: To all those giving me a thumbs down, truth hurts, huh??
