There are fact checks, and then there are fact checks. Now, with the amount of preparation both parties put into their time before the debates, you think they’d have figured out already that people can go online and figure these things out for themselves, and I think they assume people will. Biden made a lot of statements, and many of those have been identified as completely and blatantly wrong. He stated these with an air of complete authority. This is scary, because people have been so upset with their perceptions that Bush has lied to the American people, and yet Biden blatantly and provably lies with astonishing ease.
Now I’ve seen a number of articles attacking some of Palin’s statements, making it seem like she’s just as guilty as he is, so I decided to go through and assess those claims for myself, and come out with a response. Those who want to attack or defend Biden’s statements are welcome to do so, and I may go over some of Biden’s more blatant violations in another article. But here I’m going through the official AP Fact Check article, and looking at the distortions they claim she made, I can find nothing on the level of what Biden has made, and further, they are as guilty if not more guilty of making the same distortions in their very same article.
