Set woman straight in Post Office about Palin's lie about selling plane on E-Bay!
:rofl:

The PO was packed and it was hot in there and this woman starts talking really loud and laughing about how great it was that Palin had the "shutzpah" to sell that plane on E-Bay and she made a profit!11! :silly: I was standing behind her, waiting in line with about ten other people and I spoke up and said, "She lied!" :P The woman turned around with a look of disbelief and said, "Well; then someone should tell that to Boston Globe because then they're lying because that's where I read it!" And I said, "Yeah, you should tell them because it's not true!" and the room went silent, so I proceeded to inform all of them that "she HAD put it on E-Bay BUT it didn't sell and the State of Alaska had to hire a broker to sell it and he did... at a loss!" :P She almost ran out the door, mumbling under her breath and everyone was strangely silent in the Post Office after I added, "She pretty much lied and told half truths in her whole speech and it's all been fact checked. Look it up in the internet!" Nobody was smiling after that except me and the guy behind the counter! He smiled at me (I know him from going in there all the time) and he laughed! He hates the GOP and the RW! :P

12. No, I actually didn't know that until now but I doubt they'd
have absorbed all that. I only had a short amount of time to counter her glee! :P

13. AWESOME!
This is what it's going to take since the media won't do it's job. I have to do this all day at work and it's hard for me to keep my cool! They look at me like "that just Can't Be True! but, but, but ..." I've really come to the conclusion it's really a full-time job to keep your head so far in the sand that you ignore ANY news at all!

Awesome job!

19. You are so right on!! We all need to be speaking up about the lies!
Edited on Mon Sep-08-08 03:20 PM by Breeze54
I've been doing this since 2004 and now it's a habit. ;)

Just posting on the internet isn't going to win this....

Many people don't use the internet... it's going to be word of mouth!

I gave a clerk a lecture the other night on the same theme...

I pointed out his wages as a clear reason not to vote for any 'R's'

and how the GOP has voted against raising minimum wages for 30 years.

He even walked me to my car! :P

People need to know the facts and the truth!! Talking to them, just

the regular, everyday working people will win this, I think!

Encourage them to register to vote and better their lives by voting 'D' !

:yourock: think4yourself!! Keep up the fight!!! ;)

16. We should stand on corners with flyers
Put them under car windshields - do it just like they do. We've got to stop letting the media control everything.

20. Good for you!
We have to keep going out into the public to continue exposing the lies McCain's camp is spreading. The general public is hearing only snippets of what the real issues are and most don't get past the "sweet baby" and "five children" ploy. Talk about the dumbing down of America. It's just tooooooo scary.

23. Welcome to DU, FLyellowdog and you are right!
"We have to keep going out into the public to continue exposing the lies McCain's camp is spreading. "

We have to be fearless and spread the truth in our communities!!

28. Thanks!
Thanks Breeze54.

We can all speak up in some way to combat the misinformation (and disinformation) that's floating around out there!

We can all correct them when they spew those untruths!
