Sarah Palin has already been caught telling some huge lies. So many lies, in fact, that everything that comes out of her mouth should be presumed to be a lie unless proved otherwise. Truly.
Amy Goodman of DemocracyNow.org [1] has reported on another HUGE lie out of the lips of Palin. Palin made a public statement that Alaskan scientists concluded that the polar bears were not in any danger due to a shrinking ice cap. This was not true. The Alaskan scientists never made that claim. Further, when Rick Steiner, a marine conservation specialist and University of Alaska professor requested the assessment of state scientists who had examined the impact of global warming on polar bears,
he was told he might have to pay close to half-a-million dollars for the request to be processed. Steiner finally obtained the documents through a federal records request and found that the state’s marine mammal scientists were actually at odds with Palin’s position.
In short, Sarah Palin lied about the plight of the bears, lied that scientists backed up her claim and then tried to hide the scientists’ actual findings from public scrutiny.
