Sarah Confuses Coach John Wooden With Activist John Wooden Legs

Uh, maybe someone should consider the source when reading. If one does read more than the mac and cheese box directions. Probably not. In his memoir, Obama writes of one of the watershed moments of his racial awareness — time and again in remarkable detail. It is a story about a Life magazine article that influenced him. The report was about a black man who tried to bleach his skin white. When Obama was told no such article could be found in Life, he says “it might have been Ebony.He is 9 years old, living in Indonesia, where he and his mother moved with her new husband, Lolo Soetoro, a few years earlier. One day while visiting his mother, who was working at the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, Obama passed time by looking through several issues of Life magazine. He came across an article that he later would describe as feeling like an “ambush attack.”The article included photos of a black man who had destroyed his skin with powerful chemical lighteners that promised to make him white. Instead, the chemicals had peeled off much of his skin, leaving him sad and scarred, Obama recalled.“I imagine other black children, then and now, undergoing similar moments of revelation,” Obama wrote of the magazine photos in “Dreams.”Yet no such photo exists, according to historians at the magazine. No such photos, no such article. When asked about the discrepancy, Obama said in a recent interview, “It might have been an Ebony or it might have been … who knows what it was?” (At the request of the Tribune, archivists at Ebony searched their catalogue of past articles, none of which matched what Obama recalled.)In fact, it is surprising, based on interviews with more than two dozen people who knew Obama during his nearly four years in Indonesia, that it would take a photograph in a magazine to make him conscious of the fact that some people might treat him differently in part because of the color of his skin. http://www.audacityofhypocrisy.com/fashion-shows/

.....Hi sorry I can't or didn't write your name down, but it makes me laugh out loud that when somebody writes something about Sarah Lee, you all have to jump to some criticism about Obama. Obama has nothing whatsoever to do with this lying woman. The two people are so darn far apart in intellect, in wisdom, in conceptualizing, in oratory ability. She's a quitter, she left six or seven colleges for what ever reason, quit the governorship. Did you hear that they walked out on your girl in China when she made her speech, because she made no sense whatsoever? What heroes we have, maybe when she gets the Republican nomination for president in 2012, (I'd love it) you'll be there to help carry her bags. Take it easy.

You hit the nail right on the head Artistry.... She is a dingaling, no questions asked. Those who support her aren't too sharp!

Hi iris I didn't realize or hear that Sarah squandered all of those trillion of dollars, how did she do that, her closet isn't big enough to hold that many clothes!

Palin doesn't pay for the plane, the publisher does. Even if she were paying for it, which she's not, she has every right to spend the profits from her #1 Bestseller book in any way she sees fit. It's not taxpayer money, so what's your beef? The really interesting thing is how even taking a plane ride on the dime of the publisher of your book is somehow a scandal to the left if the passenger is Sarah Palin. I can't think of one reason why this is a big or small story, but they are all up in arms about it. I think the real problem is that her book is the number one bestseller. Oh, it makes them turn red and stamp their feet... poor dears. Smell the fear.

And this compares to 700 trillion squandered, how?

What do you want "proof" of, Taskr? Proof that it was in her book or proof that it was John Wooden Legs who said it? I have numerous "sources" but since this apparently wasn't reported by any of the right-wing hate blogs I figured there was no sense in providing a link. I'm sure most of those who post regularly in this interest have already read "Going Rogue" so it shouldn't be too hard for you to confirm. Annie

Direct - not direction. Fingers got away from me.

[sees discussion of a pet topic and hops in] ahah. criticism of burbles. so far i am aware of two main ones referred to in this section frequently - huff and wnd. any more i should know about? i am making a collection and don't care which side they are from.

Huh...lol? Annie

I believe it's a literal translation of instructions for applying lotion from Chinese, I think.

I'm just embracing your obsession.

Actually, she DID have a ghost writer but now I'm not so sure if she's even READ her own book! I guess she picked a writer with intelligence matching her own... I think I have started 3 non-Palin discussions but regardless this was too funny to ignore. I thought she was a basketball star! Annie

This is the best the fact checkers could do? I'd say it's a pretty minor error next to the ones Obama's made.

surely she could have afforded a professional ghost writer who actually checked their facts before submitting? anyway this was quite funny

Oh, boy, are YOU ever going to get it! Don't you know we're just picking on her...lol? Annie

She must be emulating Obama. He's the biggest joker we've got right now.

And your point is...? Are you saying that because a book is a bestseller that means everything in it is accurate? Or if someone or something is "popular" that makes it perfect? Annie

I can smell the fear.

I love the smell of bacon in the mornings. But this is good too. I would leave my own comment instead of piggybackin' someone else's, but it's too ridiculous to muster anything original. An incorrect fact in the book! OMG! OMG! OMG! This woman is unfit to be alive! Kool-Aid and Haterade. The only two drinks needed to quench that deep down thirst.

I'm so sorry for my mistake. I wrote the above, not bestboy.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! Good one...lol! If she did it would be one llloooonnnnngggggg sentence with "also" thrown in every five or six words... Annie

I know for a fact that if you've every misquoted anyone or misattributed a quote it's prima facie evidence that you can't be trusted any further than I can throw a moose. I have heard however, that Sarah can throw a moose a good distance, therefore, any misquoting is hereby offset. On top of that, she's taken a plane chartered for her and paid for her by her publisher. The fact that the plane costs $4000 per ride is certainly evidence that we should approve Obama going to Copenhagen to sign a global agreement to save the moose from the global climate warming cooling changes. If people like Sarah didn't sell so many books, we wouldn't need to cut down the forests and endanger the moose. Just think of those poor people standing in line for hours just to get a signature on a book that is effectively going to wipe out the habitat of the reindeer and possibly prevent Christmas from coming this year.

So it's either admit she's a moron whose book is nothing but a piece of (lies) fiction and be among the "accepted" and their monopoly on truth or say "it's just a misrepresented quote" and be accused of worshipping the ground she walks on? Wow. You've got it pretty sewn up. The science is settled, it seems. Some logic you got going there.
