This place is all about fighting ignorance, and I’m hoping that includes rumors.
I suggest this be made a sticky to perhaps cut down on the wild rumors about Sarah Palin that are circulating on the internet and elsewhere.
Whatever.
The best place i’ve found is [http://explorations.chasrmartin.com/2008/09/06/palin-rumors/](http://explorations.chasrmartin.com/2008/09/06/palin-rumors/)
and the backup site
[http://sarahpalinrumors.blogspot.com/](http://sarahpalinrumors.blogspot.com/)
There are two more which are more familiar:
[http://factcheck.org/](http://factcheck.org/) and [http://snopes.com/](http://snopes.com/)
For some humor check out [http://www.palinfacts.com/](http://www.palinfacts.com/)

This is really not appropriate for About This Message Board, as this message board is not really about Sarah Palin.
I’m moving this to Great Debates, where all the politics seem to live outside of the Pit.

Um… have you _seen_ the message board lately?
What’s the actual debate – whether every single rumor is true or whether the sites listed are credible explorations of the rumors? IMHO, Snopes and Factcheck are very reliable (though nobody’s perfect), I can’t say anything about the others.

That’s what I thought. There is no debate. But, hey, I’m not the boss.
