Sarah Palin has a lot of people talking about her new book, "Going Rogue." But the former vice presidential candidate also has a lot of people fact-checking her claims, including a former John McCain aide who released e-mails to ABC News in an attempt to prove that some of her stories do not match reality.

In an interview with ABC News' Barbara Walters, Walters asked Palin about the anonymous McCain staffers who called her a diva and a narcissist after the campaign ended.

"For some people, this is a business," Palin said.

Watch Barbara Walters' interview with Sarah Palin Tuesday and Wednesday on "Good Morning America," Tuesday evening on "World News" and Tuesday night on "Nightline". See the full interview on "20/20" Friday at 10 p.m. ET.

"And if failure in this business was going to reflect poorly on them, they had to pack their own parachutes and protect themselves and their reputations so they wouldn't be blamed. I'll take the blame, though. At the end of the day, I know what the truth is."

Palin wrote in her book that aides did not listen to her, would yell at her and even offered to fly in a nutritionist to help with her "cognitive connections."

But some former McCain aides are fighting back.

One former staffer objected to the "embellishing" and "casual approach to the truth" in the book.

The former Alaska governor thanked the staffers she now criticizes and ended one e-mail days before election night with "I love you guys!" according to e-mail sent during the campaign and obtained Sunday by ABC News.

Another e-mail followed the prank radio phone call by a disc jockey pretending to be French President Nicholas Sarkozy. The prank ended with the announcer telling Palin, "You've been punked."

After the prank, she got a call from GOP campaign strategist-adviser Steve Schmidt "and the force of his screaming blew my hair back," according to the book.

She wrote that Schmidt yelled over the phone: "'How can anyone be so stupid?! Why would the president of France call a vice presidential candidate a few days out?!' Good question, I thought. Weren't you the ones who set this up? As Schmidt's rant blazed on, I pictured cell towers between D.C. and Florida bursting into flame. I held the phone slightly away from my head."

But former aides insist Schmidt made no such phone call. Instead, he sent an e-mail to Palin and staffers that read, in part: "Who set this up? Are you kidding me?" and said that no radio interviews should be granted without his explicit permission again.

Palin also wrote that she was a longtime fan of "Saturday Night Live" and wanted to appear on the show. She wrote, "Let's do this,' I said. 'Let's go on and neutralize some of this, and have some fun!' Of course the idea was met with massive back and forth haggling."

But, according to an e-mail Palin wrote to staffers during the campaign, obtained by ABC News, she herself was expressing doubts.

"Still not thrilled with the idea," she said Oct. 14, 2008.

She complained about the humor against her family on the comedy program and said, "these folks are whack. … What's the upside in giving them [or] any celebrity venue a ratings boost?"
