CNN and Palin Smears
About a half hour ago I went to this story on CNN, via a link from the CNN.com home page, which reads that Palin was being criticized for "cutting programs for people with disabilities -- a group she's vowed to defend."
I go to the story itself, and this claim is repeated in the bullet points at the top of the story, but there's no detail: just one line in the penultimate paragraph saying she was criticized for it. I figured a claim like this, that CNN deems important enough to highlight on their home page, would be backed up by some sort of detail. There was none.
As of a few minutes ago, the claim is still on the CNN.com home page, but is gone from the article itself. 
"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
