Palin's administration supported genocidal islamists in Sudan   
She blocked a move to stop investing in islamist nutter government.

"Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin fought to protest atrocities in Sudan by dropping 
assets tied to the country's brutal regime from the state's 
multi-billion-dollar investment fund, she claimed during Thursday's vice 
presidential debate.

Not quite, according to a review of the public record - and according to the 
recollections of a legislator and others who pushed a measure to divest 
Alaskan holdings in Sudan-linked investments.

"The [Palin] administration killed our bill," said Alaska state 
representative Les Gara, D-Anchorage. Gara and state Rep. Bob Lynn, 
R-Anchorage, co-sponsored a resolution early this year to force the Alaska 
Permanent Fund - a $40 billion investment fund, a portion of whose dividends 
are distributed annually to state residents - to divest millions of dollars 
in holdings tied to the Sudanese government."
