Sarah Palin and Politifact are in a doozy of a catfight! Well Palin is in a catfight, I think Politifact is just trying to set the record straight.

The war of words began when Politifact labeled Sarah Palin's assertion on Fox News Sunday that "Democrats are planning the largest increase in American history" as a "Pants on Fire" lie:

If you let all the Bush tax cuts expire, the tax increase would come to just above 2.2 percent of GDP. Clearly, that would be larger than the Reagan tax hike of 1982. But it would be smaller than one of the tax increases passed during World War II -- the Revenue Act of 1942, which is estimated at 5.04 percent of GDP.

But again, letting all the tax cuts expire isn't the plan the Democrats are proposing, and it's not what Wallace asked Palin.

Palin said, "Democrats are poised now to cause this largest tax increase in U.S. history." She was asked about tax cuts for the top 2 percent. Either Palin is confused about the revenue numbers involved with extending the tax cuts, or she's willfully distorting the Democratic plans. We'll let you be the judge of that. Regardless, Wallace was very specific about asking her about tax increases for the top 2 percent. And that does not represent the largest tax increase in history. The unlikely outcome that she seems to be talking about -- that all of the Bush tax cuts will be repealed -- wouldn't be the largest tax increase in history either. Palin read the number on her hand correctly, but that's about all she got right. So we rate her statement Pants on Fire.

The thin skinned Palin simply could not let a non-partisan fact checking website get away with daring to challenge her on her poorly researched talking points.  After all, just WHO do they think they are!

So she got out her cattle prod and chased her Facebook ghostwriter out from under their desk and made them type out Sarah's indignant response:

Plan? What plan? There is no plan. All we have is smoke and mirrors based on an old Obama campaign pledge that if elected, he would exempt families making less than $250,000 a year from “any form of tax increases.”

There were some other words thrown in there as well, but I kind of believe that the above sentence was probably Palin's sole contribution to the post.  The rest was just stuff the ghostwritter found to try and make Palin look a little less bat shit crazy.

Now Politifact could not help but notice that THIS post was also not exactly based on facts either, so undoubtedly having just suffered an attack of hate filled e-mails from Palin's teeth gnashing supporters they decided to politely correct the Mama Grizzly:

We're not trying to antagonize Gov. Palin, but President Barack Obama has indeed published his proposals in some detail -- at least twice, in the annual budget documents that the White House releases.

The president's 2011 budget, for example, says on page 39, "Allow the Bush Tax Cuts for Households Earning More Than $250,000 to Expire."

"In the last Administration, those at the very top enjoyed large tax breaks and income gains while almost everyone else struggled and real income for the middle class declined. Our Nation cannot afford to continue these tax cuts, which is why the President supports allowing those tax cuts that affect families earning more than $250,000 a year to expire and committing these resources to reducing the deficit instead. This step will have no effect on the 98 percent of all households who make less than $250,000."

Apparently Politifact is not used to dealing with Caribou Barbie and her crazy ass supporters.  You can tell because they actually believe that using "facts" will somehow help them to win this argument.  Oh you silly, silly intellectuals you.  Sarah Palin does not let a little thing like "facts" get in the way of spinning her lies about President Obama. Silly gooses!

But now that the ball is in her court again Palin has a couple of choices.  She can ignore their fuzzy little ball(s) and move on to another conflict (This is considered a win by Palin standards). Or she can go on Fox News and slap a label on Politifact as nothing more than part of the "Lame stream media' and continue to make up more lies about our President and his policies at her hearts content (Also a win).  Or she can grab her Facebook ghostwriter by their hair, drag them back to their desk, and demand that they refute Politifact's so called "facts" with Palin's own less factual "facts" and continue this battle for a couple of more days.

Regardless of which one of these tactics she employs those of you at Politifact can rest assured that your e-mail boxes will start to fill up with all kinds of colorful suggestions and prayers for your slow painful death. That is just the Palin-bots special way of saying "You got our attention, now hurry up and die!"

As one who has had to have his e-mail box fumigated allow me to give you folks at Poltifact a helpful hint. If you see an e-mail in which ALL of the words in the headline are in capital letters, just delete it without reading it.  Even if you read it, it would not make a damn bit of sense, and it COULD cause you severe emotional harm.

Trust me on this.
