Hmm...

Were Rape Victims Billed in Wasilla?

The entire "scandal" seems to have been manufactured around September 9, when stories began to run through the progressive blogosphere, seemingly out of nowhere. Far left Americablog was the most-linked source, and he credits a small blog called Stop All Monsters.

The blog, features a tagline of "A blog dedicated to rooting out and stopping all monsters. Sarah Palin, for instance," has only been in existence since July, and is written by a character who claims to be a writer/stand-up comedian based in Los Angeles.

And while it is merely speculation, given current events and the way this meme spread from an obscure blog to the mainstream media in a matter of days, it may be fair to ask if the author has any ties with Winner & Associates and "astroturfing" expert David Axelrod of the Barack Obama campaign.

Says the police chief:

I found no documents within the police department showing sexual assault victims were billed for forensic exams. Nor have I been able to find any documentation regarding a decision to bill those victims. Case reports don't contain financial billing information.

Financial records are retained by the Finance Department, and the Finance Director was unable to find any records of billing within records still being held.

But Sarah Palin is a monster.

This election is quickly turning ridiculous. It's so hard to know what's true and what isn't, and it's equally difficult as a voter to not get sucked in by all of the rumors being flung on both sides. Though I don't like Palin (not by a long shot), I want to believe that that opinion stems from her views on issues and not her family/environment/etc.

The truth is out there, as Mulder always reminded us. I just don't know what it is.
