re: #48 Tamron

We were told that Palin was opposed to contraception, advocated teaching creationism in schools, and was inclined to ban books she disagreed with. She was described as a religious zealot, an anti-abortion extremist, a blind champion of abstinence-only sex education. She was said to have sought to make rape victims pay for their own medical exams, to have Alaska secede from the Union, and to get Pat Buchanan elected President. She was reported to believe that the Iraq war was mandated by God, that the end-times prophesied in the Book of Revelation were nearing and only Alaska would survive, and that global warming was purely a myth. None of this was true.

Uh. Wait a minute.

Sarah Palin IS opposed to contraception, she did say she thought creationism should be taught in schools (and later took it back), she attended a hardcore Pentecostal church, she IS an abortion extremist (she advocates a constitutional amendment to ban abortions with NO exceptions), she did say that global warming was a myth, etc. etc.

There were distortions of her viewpoints, true. But this summary of her positions is dishonest.
