I readily admit that I have posted material that turned out to be false. I have never intentionally done so. I check Snopes on material that I receive that I think is suspect. There are some that I did not check that I should have.
My computer is slow, If  something does not come up in a couple of minutes I move on. I have other things to do than camp on the internet.
You continue to beat up on Joe the Plummer, but you still do not say anything about the tax cheats that Oboma has appointed. Is is ok by you that that rich lefts in a position of power cheat on their taxes How abut equal treatment.
I think it a little sanctimonious to claim that you never inadvertently posted erroneous information.
Here is a partial list of false information that is out there on Palin. This list is no means exhaustive.
Africa was a country not a continent.
A long list of books that she wanted banned which included Harry Potter and books by Mark Twain. She did ask how a request to ban books would be handled, because a patron had asked the library to remove a book and she wanted to know how should disputes were handled. The Librarian was fired, but was hired back the next day.There was no list of books submitted by her.
Sarah Palin was a member of the Alaska Independence Party. She did go to one meeting and Todd was a member from1995 to 2000
Palin charged victims of rape for rape kits.
Palin faked a pregnency and Trig was actually Bristol's
Palin had a affair with Todd's bussiness partner.
I do not have  the time to check out your posts on the archives, but I would venture that some of these show up there.
Why not just admit that we all make mistakes?
