I don’t know what’s going on over behind the scenes at LGF (1.0), but they’ve gone from banal to sloppy to downright lying. On Monday, Feb 1, the following thread was posted:
Moronic Convergence Accelerates – Palin Endorses Rand Paul
Politics | Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 10:52:09 am PST
The crazy convergence of tea parties, Sarah Palin, and paleo-nutjob Ron Paul is picking up speed, as Palin endorses Ron Paul’s son Rand for the Kentucky Senate primary.
If someone had told me a few years ago that the Republican Party would be this far off the rails in 2010, I probably wouldn’t have believed them.
That’s it. That’s the whole post. So you click that link, and what do you get?
Rand Paul claims Palin endorsement
Here’s a delicious twist in the Kentucky Senate primary between Trey Grayson and Rand Paul: Paul’s campaign is claiming that Palin endorsed Paul, and donated money to his campaign.
[…]
We’re also hearing that Paul’s endorsement may have come prematurely: Palin hasn’t released any statement announcing the endorsement, and Grayson allies are privately telling POLITICO they’re not convinced she’s publicly endorsing in this race.
Jumping the gun a wee bit there Mr. Johnson, or whoever it is putting up those false posts? Fact check your ass my ass. Sorry, you’ve become the ass.
This is an open thread.
UPDATE: The post at 1.0 was timestamped 10:52 PST/1:52 EST. At 5:03 EST, this came out from Politico:
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said Monday that she is “proud” to back Kentucky Senate candidate Rand Paul, clearing up any doubts raised about the endorsement by Paul’s opponents.
“I’m proud to support great grassroots candidates like Dr. Paul,” Palin said in a statement to POLITICO. “While there are issues we disagree on, he and I are both in agreement that it’s time to shake up the status quo in Washington and stand up for common sense ideas.”
It seems confirmation came three hours later, and the endorsement was somewhat backhanded.
