Mashable - The Social Media Guide: Sarah Palin Divorce Rumor Debunked on Facebook

  • bisovi · 4 months ago
    It's probably a rumor that Sarah planted so it could be denied and she could rail at the 'mean media' again and keep her name in the spotlight.
  • Trudy · 4 months ago
    It's so silly to me that now people will just publicize random lies. I am not a fan of hers, but she doesn't deserve the random BS that people are reporting as news.
  • Wade Champeno · 4 months ago
    I agree let the girl live her life. She gets cut down non stop since she ran for vice president people need to give her and micheal jackson a rest lol..


    In other news check out this new website. If it takes off it might hurt the giant ebay. It has real fair pricing compared to the giant ebay. Everyone should spread the word of this site. It is www.freewayauction.com. Spread the word retweet the story of freewayauction. Add freewayauction on twitter his name is @FreewayAuction on twitter. Retweet his stuff.

    Get a dictionary, Pete. You mean 'denied', not 'debunked'. Not a fan of Palin, but of proper journalism.
  • Cyndi Smith · 4 months ago
    Thanks for posting! I hate falling for misinformation. Usually Twitter is a great source, but the Sara Palin Divorce story spread so quickly through (with a link to a "real" story), that I took the rumor to be news, not fiction. It's nice to have a reliable source like Mashable.com to help sift through the noise and information!

    :) Keep up the great work!

    Why do people keep dragging Sarah through the media ringer? Nobody cares about her. She's not news worthy.
  • doggril · 4 months ago
    Actually, "debunked" implies providing facts to counter an assertion. Just saying "no" does not "debunk" something; more correctly, it "denies" something.
  • jay ryan · 4 months ago
    Why should the Palins issue a press release to dignify this trash? And what's wrong with FB? The liberal media hangs all over Sarah's social media, since they just can't let go of kicking her around. Hey libs, you won the election last year, remember? Your guy won and Sarah lost. Then you hounded her out of office with your relentless ad hominems and stupid, bogus ethics charges, so why don't you just leave her and her kids alone already?
  • kevin · 4 months ago
    "Yet again, some so-called journalists have decided to make up a story. "

    Oh please. One blogger makes up a story and ex-Governor Pig-stupid is whining about journalists again. Why doesn't she complain about hundreds of pig-stupid birthers with blogs and millions of her pig-stupid supporters who believe in lunatic birther claims?

    well she will get attention for this now so she can continue her perpetual national marytar screed against the media. and if ain't true, it will be by the time the news media frenzy is over. if this is planting by palin it is not wise and if it is true, my heart goes out to her children. in the end, it is really no one's business but the palins
  • LL · 4 months ago
    Actually, the Alaska Report was the first to correctly report quite a few happenings in the Sarah Palin chronicles, such as her being picked to be McCain's VP candidate - and who would have ever believed that? Yet, it was true. I'd give this story more time. There's something fishy going on with that woman, mean media or not.

    "Debunked"? Not by a long shot. Denied? Yes. True? We'll have to see. Keep in mind that there news bureaus in both Washington and New York got wind of the story late yesterday, and one of the bloggers reporting the rumor says (s)he has _three_ sources, all of whom will be "burned" should the rumor not be true.

    In my not so humble opinion, the more explosive claim in the priginal blog post is that Levi Johnston has said that Todd Palin pulled a gun on him. That's a felony in Alaska. If my wife did that to someone, I'd be prone to file for divorce myself.

    Meanwhile, keep in mind that old adage, as spoken in the entertaining book 'Barbarian at the Gates': "A rumor's just a premature fact."

    And can someone tell me why people are so caught up on President Obamas birth certificate and they wer'nt bothering with John McCain's.who was born outside of this country
  • Pat Gillespie · 4 months ago
    You laugh at the "birthers" as you call them - don't you want to know the truth? WHY IS IT WRONG FOR ANYONE OTHER THAN THE DEMOCRATS TO ASK QUESTIONS THAT THE AMERICANS DESERVE AN ANSWER FOR. And yes, it most certainly checked out where John McCain was born, and he is a legal U. S. citizen. Certainly wasn't born in Kenya. I bet anyone could get a copy of his original birth certificate, something we can't seem to do for obama. And you all think it's just a trivial thing, to prove where he was born. Could you please a copy of his original birth certificate? Sarah Palin and John McCain have more class in their little finger than most of the dems in Washington. There are some really nice, good, conservative Democrats, they're not all the same. It's just that the worst ones are the ones pulling the strings and the rest of us have no voice. If you think they are really looking after you, you'd better get your head out of the sand.
  • JoAnne Rich · 1 month ago
    Pat. It is nice to read something that is true and something that makes sense on here.
    If Obama has a birth certificate showing he was a natural citizen, he would show it to the world. He doesn't have one and he is getting by with it.
  • xanderlih · 4 months ago
    I would call the Palin press release more of a "Denial" than a "Debunking". Just to be clear.

    Palin divorce rumors just business as usual from the enemies of a real conservative GOP

    The Democrat left and GOP elites fear Palin’s popularity with conservative voters as well as her independence from their control and direction. They have done all they can do to destroy her marriage, family, children and her vision for America and will continue to do so.

    To the GOP neocon establishment who have trashed and attacked Sarah Palin, Ron Paul, Peter Schiff and other potential Republican candidates far more than the liberal Democrats, your attacks just increase the popularity of Sarah and the Palin For President in 2012 website effort at http://www.palin4pres2012.com where we answer “Why They Hate Sarah”.
  • ReaganiteRepublican · 4 months ago
    Palin’s resignation obviously puts yet more pressure on Obama to finally get some results, as the soaring rhetoric isn’t hypnotizing the plebes like it used to... and now there's another viable alternative waiting in the wings.

    Alaska was a pretty corrupt system until she stepped in. Her reforms took on entrenched politicians (inc. Republicans), a mafioso-style union boss, and Big Oil.

    Wouldn't it have been nice if Obama had been principled and brave enough to confront the corrupt Chicago Democratic Machine? Or shady political operators like Tony Rezko? Racist preachers? Instead of doing business with every last one of them?

    IMO Palin could trounce him in 2012, when Americans would vote for the Gipper-in-Heels in droves- they'll surely being looking for such an antidote to the Bolshevik con-artist who's currently taking a wrecking-ball to this society.

    No wonder the far-left moonbats -along with Team Obama's David Plouffe and his internet squads- are out to destroy her.

  • Trig Maher · 4 months ago
    Hey, BIGPOOT: Bill Maher has a message for YOU!...

    ------

    Never underestimate the ability of a tiny fringe group of losers to ruin everything.

    Now, for the last couple of weeks, we've all been laughing heartily at the wacky antics of the "birthers" -- the far-right goofballs who claim Obama wasn't really born in Hawaii and therefore the job of president goes to the runner-up, former Miss California Carrie Prejean.

    And you know, there's nothing anyone can do to convince these folks. You could hand them, in person, the original birth certificate --- with the placenta --- and have a video of Obama emerging from the womb with Don Ho singing in the background ... and they still would not believe it.

    Hey birthers, want to hear my theory? My theory is Obama was born in America and you were born with the umbilical cord around your neck. I don't know what his mother was doing when she was pregnant, but I'm pretty sure yours was drinking.

    Oh, I kid the birthers, and actually there is one thing that makes me think they could be right. We're Americans, of course we're going to hire an illegal alien to clean up.

    I'm joking of course. And laughing it off has also been the reaction of Democratic leaders so far, proving that Democrats never learn. Cause in America, you know what, if you don't immediately kill errant bullsh*t, no matter how ridiculous, it can grow and thrive and eventually take over, like crabgrass or Cirque de Soleil.

    This birther stuff might be a deluded, time-wasting, right-wing obsession, but so was Whitewater, and look where that ended up. Liberals said, "Oh what are they going to do, keep expanding the case until they impeach the president over a blowjob?
    "


    I'm telling you -- in America, there is no idea so patently absurd that it can't catch on.

    For example, have you ever met a Mormon?

    Or more recently, we had the Swift Boat allegations against John Kerry, falsely making him, a genuine war hero, into a coward in a race against a guy who never left Texas. This was so stupid that Kerry refused to even discuss it. And we all know how well that worked out.

    Now you may ask, how does something as inane as Whitewater or Swift Boats or the birther gain traction? Well, I'll tell you how. The same way the story about Elton John almost dying from ingesting too much of Rod Stewart's sperm gained traction in my high school: dummies talking to other dummies.

    It's just easier now because of the Internet and because our mainstream media does such a lousy job of talking truth to stupid.

    Lou Dobbs said recently that people are asking a lot of questions about the birth certificate. Yes, the same people who want to know where the sun goes at night. And where to put the stamp
    on their email.

    And Lou, you're their new king.

    Which is why it's so important that we the few, the proud, the reality-based, ATTACK TRHIS BULLSH*T before it has a chance to fester and spread.

    This is not a case of Democrats versus Republicans. It's sentient beings versus the Lizard People. And it is to the Lizard People that I offer this deal: I will show you Barack Obama's birth certificate when you show me Sarah Palin's high school diploma!

  • Pat Gillespie · 4 months ago
    I want to see a copy of the ORIGINAL birth certificate. His white grandmother said she was with them in Kenya when he was born.

    I'm sure Sarah can supply you with a copy of her high school and college degrees.

    I can't believe your kind of folks were trying to get Lou Dobbs fired simply because he said something you all don't agree with. Well, I certainly hear a lot of things out of the mouths of those trashy MSNBC folks especially. Sometimes I flip over just to see what their latest is. I do like Anderson Cooper, at least he's fair to both sides. If you put horns on olberman and maddow, they would look like satan - they already act like him. Pick on somebody as low as you are.

    What's with the obsession with all things Sarah Palin? Feeling threatened by her popularity? These faux articles, smack of blatant yellow journalism and do nothing but undermine the true nature of democracy and freedom of the press. Kids, please grow up and start offering something of true value, ie, facts, in your posts and 'reporting'. SNL skits and 'Yes We Can' YT videos are just plain fluff. However, I must say they do drive a lot of idiotic votes to the candidacies of empty suits like Barry Hussein, your Teleprompter in Chief.

    Denying or debunking via Facebook (such a wonderful source of hard news full of trained journalists!) is hardly making it plausible. Maybe it is to the Palin addicts who live on the site, I guess.
    To set one record straight, liberals are not afraid of this woman! We dislike her because she is a narcissistic liar. She lied in her first national speech, and kept it up. How can you people support someone who says she's this wonderful Christian, yet stands on a stage and tries to destroy a man's character; a man she had never even met? A woman who brags about not aborting her child, yet when she went into labor with him, finished a speech in Texas, got on a plane, had a layover in Seattle, all the while leaking fluid. Then she got on another plane to Alaska, got in a car, and drove 45 minutes to the preferred hospital, all reportedly so dear Trig could be born on Alaskan soil (so he qualified for the oil money?) She delayed the birth 9 hours, with her 5th child! That baby could have died. These are not the actions of a caring mother. Seriously. Then to drag him on and off planes for 4 months, as well as keep her girls out of school, looks like a woman who is so ambitious she puts her family second.
    Scared of her? Never. Afraid for the well being of her kids? Always. Tired of hearing her whine? Absolutely.
  • phyllis · 3 months ago
    How wonderful, that you know Sarah Palins heart, soul and reasoning....and that you personally know her status as a Christian....please do let Heaven know that you and you alone have the "inside scoop" on every thing that she has said or done. Maybe if you give our president, B.O. a call he can find a place for you on the Supreme Court...I'm sure your opinion would be welcomed.

    I "think" Sarah Palin is a gutsy lady. She stands up for what she believes in. Now she isn't being controled, I believe she will come out swinging for truth, righteousness and be HONEST for what is best for ALL the people of this country. She has a fervor that I haven't seen in a long time. I wish more Christians and more women would stand up and quit being so timid when it comes to the battle. Sarah, I'm praying for you and standing with you. Whether you run or just want to help someone with character get in the running, I'm right there. I no longer favor Republicans OR Democrats. I'm sick of the low morality and values of both. I want someone who is more interested in values, than their pocketbook. Righteousness EXALTS a nation, sin is a reproach to any people. America, repent so God can bless us again.
