ThinkProgress dug into the Alaska state archives and pulled out this gem that clearly shows Palin to be a hypocrite of the highest order:
In recent weeks, right-wing groups have been pushing the myth that health care reform will somehow kill seniors. One of the most high profile voices pushing this lie has been Sarah Palin, [...]
On her Facebook page Friday, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who resigned from office July 26, said President Obama’s healthcare reform plan is “downright evil.”
