Re: Charging rape victims--Palin/Obama/Biden/McCain
Can we all agree that townhall.com is a rightwing blog and thus will be engaging in all kinds of massive spin on this story. I might also add that OSB's previous post really responds to the statement by her spokesman:
1. Why didn't the spokesman say she knew or didn't know about the policy?
2. Why wouldn't her spokesman even ANSWER whether she had tried to overturn the policy.
Quote:
Palin appointed Fannon as police chief in 1997. His predecessor was fired by Palin over his willingness to limit the town’s bar operating hours. Fannon was one of three candidates considered for the job and the City Council confirmed him in a 5-0 vote.
Palin later tangled with Fannon when he ran for Wasilla’s mayoral office during her gubernatorial race. Fannon created campaign ads containing a false endorsement from Palin. Palin did not support Fannon for mayor. She supported his rival, Curt Menard.

There's an UGLY pattern developing. She's "family values." But she fired the police chief who wouldn't keep the bar hours open later, uh....what? And the guy who she does endorse, Fannon openly opposes the legislation paying for rape kits AND was accused of sexual harassment soon after taking the job. Gross.

Yesterday, John McCain actually said that if he’s president he’ll take on, and I quote, 'the old boys’ network in Washington.' I’m not making this up. This is somebody been in Congress for 26 years, who put seven of the most powerful Washington lobbyists in charge of his campaign. And now he tells us that he’s the one who’s gonna take on the old boys' network,” he said. “In the McCain campaign that’s called a staff meeting!- Obama, 9/17/2008
