the phrase in it self is a euphemism for "It's NOT a known fact" Reply...

It is a known fact that most politicians do buy a multitude of their own books to hand out and to increase their sales.   If Palin were the only one that did it I would then worry.  But she isn't.

fine with me.  :)

I just finished it and I loved it.  Read it to find out the truth about the handling of her/mccains campaign.

A number one best seller.

Sarah Palin Uses PAC to Buy Her Own Book
Political Action Committee Paid More than $60,000 for Copies of 'Going Rogue' in Late 2009
By MATTHEW MOSK
Feb. 1, 2010 —

Sarah Palin has been using her political action committee to buy up thousands of copies of her book, "Going Rogue," in order to mail copies of the memoir to her donors, newly filed campaign records show.
The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate had her political organization spend more than $63,000 on what her reports describe as "books for fundraising donor fulfillment." The payments went to Harper Collins, her publisher, and in some instances to HSP Direct, a Virginia-based direct mail fundraising firm that serves a number of well-known conservative politicians and pundits.
Sarah PAC spent another $8,000 on colorful bookmarks designed by a Nashville-based event branding firm. And her committee paid her publisher $20,000 for what appears to have been the cost of sending her personal photographer and another aide along on her book tour. Those expenses are listed by the PAC as travel repayment to Harper Collins.
All of the purchases took place in November and December of 2009, the records show.
Meghan Stapleton, a spokeswoman for Palin, said the book purchases were part of a promotion to reward donors with autographed copies if they gave more than $100 to the PAC.
"Due to supporters' demand for the national best-seller "Going Rogue," Sarah PAC purchased books and sent free, signed copies to those who donated $100 or more between November 16 and November 25 at noon," Stapleton said. "The fundraising tool was wildly successful."
Published in November, "Going Rogue: An American Life," is described by Harper Collins as "an intimate portrait" in which Palin "opens up for the first time about the 2008 presidential race, providing a rare, mom's-eye view of high-stakes national politics." On the web site of her PAC, Palin posted a special letter to supporters upon the release of her book. "My book, 'Going Rogue,' is dedicated to you - - to Patriots - - who fight for freedom!" she wrote in the note, which concludes with the opportunity to donate.
Palin would not be the first politician to use a PAC to underwrite the purchase of a memoir. The Federal Election Commission has heard a number of cases on the question of whether it is an appropriate expense. The rules are somewhat complex, but because Palin is neither a candidate for office, nor a sitting member of congress, her PAC is free to purchase the book under current law, according to Jan Baran, a campaign legal expert.

 "I'm so confident in the sales of my book that I bought thousands of copies...then charged my supporters extra for them!"

his is a favorite move of conservative organizations. Get donations, buy tons of your own books with those donations, and then offer donors direct-mailed copies of the books that they can purchase by… donating more! The authors get more royalties and can brag about how they all reached #1 bestseller status in the New York Times, despite its liberal math policies, and the fact that books are gay and elitist, etc.

In all fairness:

When former Democratic vice presidential candidate Joseph Lieberman sought in 2004 to give away copies of his memoir, "In Praise of Public Life," he declined to take royalties off the books purchased by his campaign committee. It is not known whether Palin entered into a similar arrangement. Reply...

Krugman accuses Fox of spreading misinformation

In an interview Sunday, New York Times economist Paul Krugman hammered conservative talk show host Glenn Beck for spreading blatantly false information about the Democrats' health care bill - - and put the blame squarely on Fox News CEO Roger Ailes.
"Glenn Beck doesn't, you know," Krugman began, "what bothers me is the fact that people are not getting informed, that we are going through major debates on crucial policy issues; the public is not learning about them. And you know, you can say, well, they can read the New York Times, which will tell them what they need to know, but you know, most people don't. They don't read it thoroughly.... People did not know what was in the plan, and some of that was just poor reporting, some of it was deliberate misinformation. I have here in front of me when President Obama said, you know, why - - he said rhetorically, why aren't we going to do a health care plan like the Europeans have, with a government-run program, and then proceeds to explain why he's different. On Fox News, what appeared was a clipped quote, "why don't we have a European-style health care plan?" Right, deliberate misinformation."
Fox News CEO Roger Ailes interjects: "Wait a minute, wait a minute..."
And Krugman replies, "I can show you the clip, and you can..."
"The American people are not stupid," Ailes says.



Paul Krugman to Fox News CEO: ‘Deliberate misinformation’
"No, they're not stupid," he said, delivering a tacit blow to the Fox News chief. "They are uninformed.
Later, Krugman adds, "People, again, this was a plan that is - - it's actually a Republican plan. It's Mitt Romney's health care plan. People were led to believe that it was socialism. That's - - and that was deliberate. That wasn't just poor reporting." Reply...
