palintruth.org - new site, needs some help

http://www.palintruth.org/

I started putting this site together Saturday morning, and just by posting about it online a couple times it got several thousand pageviews over the weekend, but there is still so much more that it needs if it's going to help in the fight to push back against the growing Palin myth.

If anyone has time to help me with compiling sources and writing short articles (not just about Palin, but also about McCain and Obama), I could really use it. This information needs to be as complete and thorough as possible, and as soon as possible. I'm overwhelmed at work, but I don't want to neglect what I think can be an important tool in this election.

Second, I'm not up to speed on CSS, and I can't seem to fix the lists on the left side of the page. I built the site using Joomla and templates, and this template doesn't have styles for lists. I'd like to at least have the bullets flush left instead of indented. I've tried what I thought would work in the CSS, but the level of div embedding (or something else) seems to be tripping me up. If anyone can help me figure out that style sheet issue, again I'd really be grateful.

I want to make this site into something that you can pass along to your independent friends who are currently buying the Palin lies. I know it's really about McCain, but that is the big point--the horribly calculating, political action that McCain took in choosing her. It also goes to McCain's honesty, because now he is helping to pass along these lies. The polls show that people are buying the lies, so far, and the longer the lies sit around, the harder it will be to change people's minds back.

I am going to keep working on this at least a little bit every day, but I really can use some help, because I can't do it as quickly as I'd like.

There wasn't much planning before I started this, it just popped into my head at 7am Saturday and I've been trying to work on it every spare moment...

Nice idea, but wouldn't this work better as a wiki?

I personally (none / 0)

don't like most wiki's in how they look and how the function.

But... that is just me.

Take "truth" out of your site (none / 0)

You're pushing a lot of baseless allegations and lies about Palin on your site. What you have created is the equalivent of the Obama smear sites.

Your front page alone has a lot of false info. For example:

Claim: Sarah Palin holds mainstream American values
Truth: Palin has a reputation in Alaska for using racial slurs, supports book banning, and many more questions about her are still unanswered

This is inflammatory, and you're calling her a racist based on an article that has already been called into question. There is no truth in your answer, only wild speculation. The whole tone of your arguments is to smear and take info out of context.

Oh, and please get the link to Obama's site OFF your smear page before the right-wingers try to link him to it.

Great stuff!  Thanks for the site!  McCaintruth would be welcome too.


John McCain isn't evil. He's just wrong about a lot of things. Vote Obama!
