CNN did a GREAT job today reporting on Palin's churches...I emailed "thanks" to them
I know MSNBC did some reporting on it tonight too but CNN REALLY did a thorough job in numerous segments throughout the day building on the story of Palin's previous and current churches. They showed not only the video clips of Palin speaking at the church about the God-ordained pipeline and God's mission in Iraq (we've all seen these on Youtube) but they also hit on:

Jews for Jesus
Video of the youth group showing end-times explosions across the world (Alaska is a refuge state according to the pastor?!?!?)
Speaking in tongues
The church pastor telling parishioners in 2004 that they'd be damned for voting Kerry


It was very thorough.

Anyway, as much as the MSM has been reporting fluff on Caribou Barbie these past 10 days, I took the time to email CNN with thanks for REAL reporting.

:toast:

6. Yes, finally ...
They will go at it slowly, one little jab at a time.

And do not forget, each time someone talks to you about Palin: use the word "liar".

Bridge to Nowhere: for it being against it
Jet sold to a campaign donator at a preferred rate, meaning a loss for the Alaskan people, and not sold on eBay
Gutting the budget for single teen moms (promise you'll email the proof, and deliver)
Did not know that May and Mac were NOT tax funded, but now is happy they are, while claiming the opposite

The coup de grace: Even with lipstick on it, it's still the same old bull. Or the "Jesus was a community organizer" thing.

2. what email address did you use?
I never know which "contact us" address is likeliest to be read by somebody in a position to make changes rather than an intern in the mail room.

Thanks!

5. I went to the "contact us" link on their homepage.
It has boxes with your info and then a comment box to write in...it also has a choice button for 'positive' or 'negative' rating. I selected 'positive' and hope my comment gets read.

3. The attacks on Campbell Brown by McCains staff backfired bigtime
hope the truth will continue to be revealed. It was a great show, even though I had to go back and forth to Countdown.

9. Excellent and I hope others do as well!
We MUST keep on top of the media this fall if we want to win - that means chastising them when they tell lies or show blatant partisanship and thanking them when they are accurate and on track.

I'm off to contact CNN! :D
