Saunterelle, you have to go back to high school an re-take English. Palin was not quoted as saying the tape was "hidden." The author of the piece, by putting the word in quotes, implied that Palin said it. But, the record does not support it.

Palin's argument was about the fact that Obama gave an interview to the SFChron, promising that electrical rates would go up as a part of his energy plan, and we are just now finding out about it. Why didn't the Chronicle make that fact more widely known? Why didn't other newspapers pick up the story and run with it? Why are we just finding out about it now? Why did you start a new thread when there's already one going discussing this very interview? Why is your karma always in single digits?

"Barack Obama explained his plan to The San Francisco Chronicle this year," she said. "And he said that, sure, if the industry wants to build coal-fired power plants, then they can go ahead and try, he says. But they can do it only in a way that will bankrupt the coal industry.
"You gotta listen to the tape," she continued. "Why is this audio tape just now surfacing?"

Voices in the crowd could be heard shouting, "Liberal media!"

"This interview was given many months ago," Palin told the audience. "You should have known about this."

The Republican National Committee also sent out blog reports pushing the notion of a "hidden" Obama videotape withheld by The Chronicle.

Obama sat with The Chronicle editorial board Jan. 17 for the interview, and it has been available in its entirety on the newspaper's Web site since it took place in San Francisco during the Democratic primary season. In his wide-ranging session with the paper, the Democratic senator from Illinois spoke about his energy plan and an "aggressive" cap-and-trade policy, and spoke about coal technology.

The audio was posted on SF Gate since January. Obama was talking about clean coal technology. Why do you think it is up to the Chronicle to "alert" Republicans to the interview? It's ludicrous.

The fact that Palin brought this up, confirms Mccain's judgement is impaired by choosing her as VP since Mccain supports mandatory limits on greenhouse gas emissions through a cap and trade system as well. He too would support taxing at a higher rate.

Palin just doesn't get it.......what an embarassment.

And, you just found out about it, too, didn't you? Exactly my point!
