- kman2190, on 11/11/2009, -10/+654Its a sad day for Palin when even Fox wont believe her crap
- vitriolix, on 11/11/2009, -11/+390Holy crap, the sky just fell.
- awinters, on 11/11/2009, -13/+336It takes 5 minutes to find out when the act of changing the coin had been commissioned. Six minutes at most.
Either she is simply too incompetent to know this or too arrogant to think it matters.
I would PAY A MILLION DOLLARS to hear what her response is to this. Now that we know it was a Republican administration that did this, what does this act say about the Bush administration?
This will be just like the Republicans who saw a picture of Obama in the Oval Office without his jacket on and went around the world saying how disrespectful it was of the office, but then when pictures came out showing several other presidents such as W & Reagan in the Oval Office without their jackets on, we heard crickets..... - rearlgrant, on 11/11/2009, -16/+232Facts don't bother GOPer's -- neither will the facts of this.
- kizmet005, on 11/11/2009, -4/+189She's not a strong woman. She's a loud, stubborn, and opinionated woman. The two are not necessarily the same thing. If she were a strong woman, she would still be governor of Alaska.

PALIN NOT PLEASED WITH RIM JOB
tiowally in reply to ohyeathatsright
PALIN: I WANT IT ON THE FACE! - Sogladtobehere, on 11/11/2009, -12/+158Never, ever thought I'd say this, but props to Fox News. I wonder if they are selling Palin down the river to try and reclaim some of their respectability.
- ZeroCubed, on 11/11/2009, -7/+136Dear Sarah Palin,
We don't like you, you are a terrible member of our sex, and further convince men and butch lesbians that we are nothing but whiny bitches who have no brains and talk too much. Please remove yourself from the female population, we don't care how.
-Women of the World - BerateBirthers, on 11/11/2009, -19/+143Fox News is doing the Republican party's bidding and busily destroying her now. She cost them the election and they don't like strong women anyways.
- tacojohn48, on 11/11/2009, -1/+111The fact is that to her followers it doesn't matter. They are no longer even part of the republican party. They are a party of ultraconservative religious fundamentalists. I say this as a republican and a Christian; I find these people scary and dangerous.
- AddiX, on 11/11/2009, -10/+104I don't think Fox accepts Palin, nor do I think that they think she can actually win. Which is why you see this. If you remember during the election, they didnt really accept McCain until they had no choice. People forget the McCain was NOT supposed to be there and he somehow snuck his way to the nomination because everyone else attacked each other.
So if you actually think Fox is doing something good here, no, they probably want to make sure whoever it is, is a man. - Alheithinn, on 11/11/2009, -4/+79It shouldn't be there in the first place. If the GOP was really all that hot for going back to what our Founding Fathers wanted, the coins would say E Pluribus Unum. Idiots and hypocrites both.
- GregLoire, on 11/11/2009, -4/+75I like how "secularizing" our currency involves changing the location of "In God We Trust" rather than removing it entirely.
- seltaeb4, on 11/11/2009, -2/+71... but a joyous day for America.
- TWiThead, on 11/11/2009, -2/+64*claim
- duckfeeder, on 11/11/2009, -4/+66Palin is now getting her info from poorly conceived right-wing email forwards. Can't say I'm surprised.
- DangerCollie, on 11/11/2009, -6/+64The real headline here is "Fox News" and "Fact-Check" in the same sentence.
- neognostic, on 11/11/2009, -11/+66This is like dividing by zero,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
- akhomestead, on 11/11/2009, -5/+59Vote Palin
2012 - 2014 and a half - redfan, on 11/11/2009, -4/+57This is the equivalent of fact checking the crazy guy on the street corner in the middle of the night.
Fish. Barrel. Shoot. - jmorganthall, on 11/11/2009, -8/+58From the comments on that page:
"PALIN NOT PLEASED WITH RIM JOB." - 11oops, on 11/11/2009, -0/+49Maybe if that $100 goes to charity or something. I wouldn't contribute even a dime towards anything that she can use to further her political career. She needs to just be gone.
- devans00, on 11/11/2009, -4/+47It's taken Fox News a year to realize that Sarah Palin spews nonsense, nonstop? Shaking my head.
- rhdesigns, on 11/11/2009, -2/+45what respectability?
- Intenseboredom, on 11/11/2009, -2/+44Or someone divided by zero.
- merreborn, on 11/11/2009, -0/+41They'll just dismiss this as a bunch of godless, arugula-eating elitists using their pesky "facts" to try to besmirch a good-ol' "Real American".
- elliotys, on 11/11/2009, -5/+46Sarah Palin is stupid. End of story.
- DDRSkata, on 11/11/2009, -2/+42If by strong, you mean retarded.
- geoboy, on 11/11/2009, -3/+42True story:
I had a job as a cashier not too long ago, and some lady pays me with two of those presidential coins, and she says to me, "Here, have these. I need to get rid of them. They don't say 'In God We Trust' on them!"
I looked around on both faces and said, "Huh, sure enough," trying not to roll my eyes at this woman who is apparently offended by godless money. I swapped out the coins with some dollar bills in my wallet so I could have them for myself. Later when I told a co-worker about the stuck up woman, I looked at the coins again and noticed it said "In God We Trust" right on the rim of the coin. I just laughed and kind of died a little inside. People are so ***** stupid. - 11oops, on 11/11/2009, -1/+39A *straight, white, Christian* man. It is Fox you know, so you don't want to open up any loopholes for an evil minority candidate to slip through.
- blackinthmiddle, on 11/11/2009, -0/+35I'd pay a million (Turkish) dollars. I think that's equal to $1.67 or something!
- NightEmber79, on 11/11/2009, -4/+39They're not fact checking her. This is simply a tourniquet for the Republicans. Cut it off and stop the bleeding before no one (outside the Klan) votes for you.
- namja23, on 11/11/2009, -0/+33I don't know about a million dollars, but I would pay $100 or so to see her at a live press conference addressing this issue.
- jezsik, on 11/11/2009, -0/+32Hell... let's see her address ANY issue presented by a journalist in a live broadcast.
- scott1, on 11/11/2009, -1/+32First a Texas judge said a gay marriage ban was unconstitutional then Shepard Smith apolgizes for Fox not being fair and balanced and now this
Wow I guess the world is going to end 2012 - capheine, on 11/11/2009, -5/+35Damn, I was hoping this would be an interesting article about the dollar coin, not rehashing the In-God-We-Trust non-issue again.
***** you, Sarah Palin. - nepidae, on 11/11/2009, -6/+36I don't trust in god.
- sageerrant, on 11/11/2009, -1/+29Huh_ so it turns periods into commas and commas into underscores,
- robbob, on 11/11/2009, -6/+34WHY IS THERE A VAGINA IN THE TITLE?
- rocknog, on 11/11/2009, -0/+28The base needs to be split. I know that's bad news for the GOP, but seriously, being lumped in with these fundamentalist nut jobs is hurting traditional conservatives.
- footbag01, on 11/11/2009, -4/+31Fox must have outsourced their fact checkers, because you know they don't employ any.
- enantiodromia, on 11/11/2009, -6/+33I actually sort of miss the "WE LOVE YOU, SARAH!" comments from the bored ignorant house-wives of Digg.
- DreKor, on 11/11/2009, -0/+25The GOP is right to be worried about her. She's out there endorsing Conservative Party candidates and threatens to split the Republican base. If they don't stop her now, they're in serious trouble.
- blackinthmiddle, on 11/11/2009, -0/+23No, anyone with an IQ over 80 realizes the very firs time they hear her that she has no business running...anything, actually! Make no mistake about it, Rupert M. and Faux are not stupid. If they're not backing her anymore, they have a calculated reason to do so.
- algaeturd, on 11/11/2009, -2/+24Since when have ANY republicans given a ***** about making sure what they say is true? They're realized that their party is full of people who don't give a ***** about truth, even when it can be found via google in a matter of seconds.
Spew lies, confuse people and somehow spark them to be scared and they don't give a ***** about facts or truth.
She's just doing what the republican party has been doing for the past decade. The only difference is that Fox has decided to distance themselves (basically the republican party) from her now that she's become the punch line to every republican joke.
But yeah, truth doesn't matter. They know they spew lies and misinformation. They're just not used to their own side calling them out on it.
Somewhere, Palin is sitting around scratching her chin going, 'it was OK for all republicans to lie about everything yesterday. what happened?' - acknotSW, on 11/11/2009, -2/+24Actually 11oops, I want her around for a good long time. I want her on the front lines during the 2010 elections and in the next presidential primaries. I believe she has the power to rip the republican party apart and provide us with a badly needed 3rd party of socially moderate, fiscally conservative ex republicans and democrats.
Let the floor flopping religious right have the republican party or start their own, let the loons like Pelosi have the ***** left extremes and give myself and other independents a party that shows some common sense when it comes to fixing the real problems this country is facing. - ShingoEX, on 11/11/2009, -7/+28Someone may wanna make sure the peeps at Fox News aren't ill, drunk, or high. FN fact-checking is like Rush Limbaugh not being an *****. It just doesn't happen.
- Zoshchenko, on 11/11/2009, -4/+25OK, so Sarah Palin is a know-nothing moron who is trying to stretch her 15 minutes of fame into a career. Next?
- blackinthmiddle, on 11/11/2009, -2/+22She must have somehow fallen out of favor with them. I don't trust them for a second.
- boulderbum, on 11/11/2009, -1/+21Either that, or Fox News is pissed that her endorsement of the Conservative Party candidate cost them the Republicans a House seat in New York.
