ABC’s Charles Gibson doesn’t understand, but what’s worse is his assertion that his excerpt from her statement conveys her “exact words” even when she questioned it.

GIBSON: You said recently, in your old church, “Our national leaders are sending U.S. soldiers on a task that is from God.” Are we fighting a holy war?

PALIN: You know, I don’t know if that was my exact quote.

GIBSON: Exact words.

Mick,
You said

more people have died in the last 100 years due to governments that were non religious and anti any religion since the history has been recorded

That’s because there were more people in the last 100 years than in all of recorded history.

I had to look up her views Steve . Because you stated you did not think, which means she could have been upset that you did not defend Palin to the hilt and say it was just smear, or that she was believing it was defintely smear and you her the benefit of the doubt when yu saw t in context .

Mary appears quite to the left . If it makes you feel better I always figure you slant left, but you are fair . The older I get that becomes more important actually . Besides regardless of how we slant , being fair always sets up a conversation that enlightens both sides .

Mike how do you do that smiley thing .

I’m starting to feel sorry for you, Steven, since you’re getting fire from all directions. (…yours truly being one of the flame throwers)

Steven, you erred by giving the context and pointing out the apparent error in the attack.

Here is how you do it in a “nonpartisan” way:
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jNulPSqaP1eyysv8ENJWhk0ZSrPgD92VJPL00
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told ministry students at her former church that the United States sent troops to fight in the Iraq war on a “task that is from God.”

See? Completely unbiased and impartial reporting must never step on the lines of the people attempting the baseless smear.

Maybe before you stop reading you could do me the courtesy of explaining to me how I’m being partisan.
