    Haha! :cheers:

    Politics is so stupid and divisive. I don't even like Palin, and would have a hard time voting for her. I'd probably go 3rd-party if faced with a Barry/Sarah race. I just get irritated when I see the same lies over and over about her, when just a tiny bit of research would answer some questions. Let's not forget that the head of the Paul Revere Historical Society begrudgingly admitted that Palin was correct in her comments on Revere's message. Sure, he said she probably got lucky, but considering Palin had just toured the museum, I'm guessing she was remembering what they told her.

    The most they can say is correct in her statement about Revere was "we know what an old man remembered about his life 30 years before in a single letter." I must admit, I never knew so much of Revere's ride is a poem meant as an allegory for the civil war.

    She was cleared by the actual Ethics Commission, which is what matters. The "investigator" who wrote the first report was a rabid Democrat.

    The idiocy around here astounds me at times. Did you get run out of your other site, Klinky? Many of us here talk chess, and you like to pull out the wiki-Checkers as your trump. It's amusing.

    Given that the legislature could have impeached Palin(doubtful), I don't think you're correct that the Personnel Board's opinion is the only one that mattered.

    Stephen Branchflower, which the investigation was named after, was the actual investigator who was doing the actual investigating. He was hired by a bipartisan committee. Sen. Hollis French, who was overseeing the investigation, did make some public statements that made him sound very anti-Palin. But he wasn't the investigator.

    I am glad you consider one investigation initiated by a bipartisan committee as being done by rabid Democrats. While you hold up the Personnel Board as being exemplary in their actions, partly because they're bipartisan... Hmmm...

    I made you a new avatar

    Dumb people make me laugh. French had his fingerprints all over that "investigation". Have you researched the trooper who was fired? Do you agree that wife beaters should be troopers?

    Bert the Beaver can never look angry.

    Perhaps wikipedia disagrees, though?

    Racial hoax by Sarah Palin causes PR headache for McDonald’s

    An online hoax by Sarah Palin that falsely suggests McDonald's discriminates against African-American customers is causing a PR headache for the Golden Arches.
    Over the weekend, the photograph above circulated widely on the internet. The image shows what looks like an official McDonald's notice in the window of a restaurant, telling customers that blacks will be charged $1.50 extra "as an insurance measure due in part to a recent string of robberies."

    ...and Palin's were all over the Personnel Board's. I guess both were tainted by politics & agendas. The incident makes Palin look bad regardless. Palin's family was trying to get Wooten(the trooper, ex-husband) fired before Palin was even elected into office & then used her position as governor to put pressure on the Safety Commissioner. A judge even said that Palin's family's intentions bordered on harassment.

    Who are we talking about? I thought it was Monegan who was the accused wife beater, based on actions that happened in 1994. Perhaps the question should be, why did Sarah Palin hire a wife beater as head of the Safety Commission? He was fired for "insubordination" & not "because you're a wife beater"...

    Mike Wooten, the trooper & ex-husband of Palin's sister, was accused of child abuse for tasering his son. His son supposedly asked to be tasered so he could prove he was a man enough to handle it. It was done on the lowest setting. Parents do dumb things all the time, doesn't mean it was done in an abusive fashion. Wooten also supposedly made a death threat against against his father-in-law.

    At least Sarah Palin knows there are 50 states in the union, and that the current year is 2011, which is more than you can say for Obama.

    Not sure why you posted this twice. It was obviously a hoax; what is sad is that even some posters on this board believed it was real. The masking tape was the best part of the hoax, IMO.

    He wasn't President at that point. He was still campaigning. This was in Beaverton, OR, May 9, 2008.

    So Sly...

    who deleted the McDonald's thread where the OP thought that the hoax was actually legitimate?

    Weak modding, isn't it?
