It seems that these days Sarah Palin’s Claims are being fact-checked by Fox News. Yep, you read that right, it seems that the bell of the Republican party is being called out on her erroneous claims about the new dollar coin:

As Fox News anchor Bret Baier noted this evening, picking up on a Politico report, Palin said this past Friday that there had been a lot of "change" of late, and talked about the dollar coin -- how the phrase "In God We Trust" had been moved to the rim of the coin, rather than on the face. "Who makes a decision like that?" said Palin, seemingly pointing to the Obama administration, adding: "It's a disturbing trend."

Needless to say, it seems that the coins in question were actually commissioned not by President Obama’s White House and the Democratic Majority, but way back in 2005 by the then Republican-led government. Plus, as Baier points out, a later Congress acted specifically to change this coin in 2007. Fox then displayed a newer James K. Polk Presidential coin with the phrase “In God we trust” on the coin’s face.

Can’t you just see the tide turning?
