I´ll make this quick because, as many of you will no doubt note in the comments, the Internet seems to spend more time than it should discussing the exploits of an almost-one-term governor turned talking head turned talking head without a cable news contract. But given how much attention Sarah Palin´s latest Facebook post has gotten, it´s probably worth the two minutes it takes to debunk one of its more outlandish claims—especially given the conspiracy theory was already debunked before she even wrote about it. Here´s the snippet

Wow.. slate hates Sarah Palin. Who would believe it?
By definition, anything she says is untrue. Why the gov´t buys 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition is never questioned.

Gee, who are you going to believe, WaPo, Slate or SP?
It says it needs them—roughly the equivalent of five bullets for every person in the United States—for law enforcement agents in training and on duty. ...

I guess Palin doesn´t read Lucianne.com, because one of today´s Must Reads debunks the "stockpiling of bullets" thing, too.

Let me see, will I believe the lying Obama administration who is doing its level best to destroy my country through its statist policies, or use my common sense to question why the heck the Obama administration is buying 1.6 BILLION rounds of ammo? Hmmm, wait, I´m thinking, I´m thinking...

The debunking that´s going on doesn´t debunk anything. Who´s doing this debunking? That fact is that the Government is stockpiling massive amounts of ammunition. If you take purchases from the DHS, IRS, EPA, Department of Education and others, they have on the books that they are purchasing over 3B shells. About half are hollow point shells that aren´t used for squirrels or target practice. The left would love to convince everyone that this is not true. Once again, hollow point bullets are not used for target practice. And why do they need to practice so much shooting at targets?

Yup! Palins nuts! Governments never have contingency plans for possible events where the citizens may need protection or riot.
They just bought all that ammo in a whim...
It was then Vice President Joe Biden had envisioned his greatest prank yet. Putting down his choom pipe he turned to the slim squinty eyed President mellowing on the couch, munching on Cheetos.
"Check this out! We will grab a few million and buy a bunch of freakin´ bullets man! It will be epic! We will have all those Tea Baggers and that ditz Palin wigging out all over the place! Hell ya!" Biden said as he extended his hand out to dap his fist with the grinning President, who was busy sparking another bowl of Maui Wowwie!

The government would have us believe that every DHS agent needs more ammo for practice than the avergage combat infantryman gets to shoot, before deploying to a combat zone. The Army did not shoot up that much small arms ammo during a year of combat in Irag at the height of the war. But everyone knows this is the most transparent administration in history.

Just another thought.
You´d think that with the looming cuts in spending, that they´d forego the ammunition needed for the future when they can´t afford to keep illegal aliens in detention today.
Besides - didn´t "they" tell us that law enforcement money would be cut?

Palin has never misspoken about anything this big in the past, and she isn´t now. She has only been lied about by people who want to keep truth out of politics (= the socialists = the Democrats). It´s good to see they still consider her a threat to their cover-ups of Dear Leader.

As I said all over Slate, I don´t see any proof that anything has been debunked. All I see are the claims made by the government vs. claims made by others. Just because the government SAYS something doesn´t mean it is true. There is no proof anywhere to support anyone´s claim other than the sheer numbers involved.

The commie msm got away with slandering Joe Mc Carthry for 50 some years before he was proven correct. This is what there are trying to do with Palin. The only problem is the Internet is around now and people have other ways to get info rather than relying on lies by "Pravda Light" .

According to Mark Levin, not one given to telling untruths, the Feds have enough ammo to conduct the Iraq war for 24 years.
Nothing has been debunked ...
... the Left is going to make a move and that occasion will be sooner than later.
Anyone who thinks differently just ain´t paying attention.

Liberals never offer facts to back up their statements, only feelings. All they say is thats a lie, and after while they then say, well that was debunked a long time ago. Facts are funny little things, and the libs are highly allergic to them.

Yes, OP and O are in agreement: Palin is a dangerous low hanging fruit. As for me and my family: we are a´believing Palin over all trolls, Storms, Mollies, OP´s and Obambies. The t ruth is not to be found in appeasers, liberals, or moderate Repubs. I trust Palin, DeMint, Cruz, Rubio, and Rand Paul...until I don´t. So far none of those have betrayed my trust. I may or may not agree with each and everything they stand for but I trust them to be honorable men and women. The rest would sell their Mother for power.

Both parties constantly make accusations that their rival is engaged in hypocritical, unethical, or illegal behavior. Given the drastic lack of ideological diversity in the American elite media, the general public usually only hears about such accusations against Republicans. Beyond the fact that biased reporting shapes public opinion to favor the left, it may also have an effect on law enforcement. The persistent lies that have been told about right-leaning political groups by leading Democrats, including President Obama himself, may have led to the IRS abuses of power that we’ve heard so much about in recent weeks.

A former USC professor was named Monday to the FBI´s Ten Most Wanted fugitives list after he was indicted for sex crimes against children abroad, FBI officials said. Walter Lee Williams, 64, became the 500th person named to the list, officials said. He faces charges of sexual exploitation of children, traveling with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct and engaging in illicit sexual conduct in foreign places. Bureau officials said they had identified at least 10 alleged victims between the ages of 9 and 17. Many live in Third World countries, officials said, adding that Williams has traveled extensively

Writing today in the Corner at National Review Online, Jonah Goldberg takes up the point I discussed earlier today about the necessity for Republicans not to frame the immigration reform issue as one in which their principal motivation is to avoid allowing more Hispanics become Democratic voters. He agrees with me that’s wrong, but he also says that supporters of the gang of eight bill are mistaken to try and sell their legislation to the GOP on the grounds that it is good politics. He thinks the debate on the bill should rise and fall on its merits,

Something perverse happened after the Supreme Court’s decision today invalidating citizenship-verification requirements in Arizona for registrants who use the federal voter registration form. The Left knows they lost most of the battle, but are still claiming victory. That’s what they do. Election-integrity proponents and the states are saying they lost, but don’t realize they really won. The Left wins even when they lose, and conservatives are often bewildered and outfoxed in the election-process game. Earlier today, I called the decision a nothingburger. After re-reading the case and reflecting a bit more, it’s clear that the decision was a disaster

DETROIT -- In one of the biggest-ever showdowns between an automaker and the government, Chrysler on Tuesday is expected to file papers explaining its refusal to recall 2.7 million older Jeep SUVs that are at risk of catching fire in rear-end collisions. The government says 51 people have suffered fiery deaths in Jeep Grand Cherokees and Libertys with gas tanks mounted behind the rear axles. But Chrysler is expected to stick to its contention that the SUVs are as safe as similar vehicles on the road. The Jeeps, it says, met all federal safety standards when they were built,

According to Sarah Palin, the GOP’s vice presidential candidate in 2008, the United States is “becoming a totalitarian surveillance state.” And Herman Cain, who ran as a GOP presidential candidate in 2012, said, “This train is running full speed down the tracks towards socialism and towards communism. Yes, I said it. Before we stop it and reverse it, we got to slow it down. That’s what we do in 2014.” Now, we actually know what genuine totalitarian surveillance states and communist nations look like, and America is nothing close to becoming anything like them.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
