Tip O'Neill quoting Finley Dunne once said, "Politics ain't bean bag". It has never been more evident in the attacks on Sarah Palin by an ethically corrupt liberal media and sick, vicious lies perpetuated by the left, and panicking, misguided Obama team surrogates. I agree that both sides employ these tactics, but somehow the attacks on Palin and her family are beyond the pale of journalistic integrity, political strategy and human decency. Recent polls suggest the public at large recognizes the bias. Maybe Palin's courage and disdain for the liberal media in her acceptance speech and the public's awareness has had an unsolicited effect on the dynamic. I read this morning where MSNBC has fired Chris Matthew and Keith Oberman from their election anchor positions. They will remain as political commentators. David Gregory will replace them, and I suspect or perhaps hope, the coverage will be more on issues than biased, contrived personal attacks.

I discovered this site while trying to determine for myself what was true and what was politically driven smears of the worst kind. It debunks the lies, acknowledges some embarrassing truths and proceeds to back the facts with credible links. I found it interesting and hope you will as well.
