Palin Justifies Her Whining About the Media as Self Defense »
Posted By capj71 5 months, 2 weeks ago in Political NewsIn an interview with Time magazine, Sarah Palin tried to differentiate her whining about media coverage as different from what she accused Hillary Clinton of doing during the 2008 campaign. Palin said, “But freedom of speech and that invitation to constructively criticize a public servant is a lot different than the allowance to lie…” In summary, it is fine to whine as long as Palin is doing the whining.

"So Palin thinks that Hillary Clinton was whining when the right wing accused her of murdering Vince Foster, but it is perfectly fine for her to complain about criticism of her decision to resign as the governor of Alaska. Apparently, it isn’t whining when Palin is the one doing the complaining."

Kinda sums it up. Palin epitomizes the right wing in America no plans, no agenda, no view but call them on it and they begin whining that they are being picked on, being harassed and misunderstood. Im surprised her method of starting a Presidential run is to alienate as many people as she possibly can, to ignore all the shortcomings people pointed out, in her own party to boot, and continue to whine that everyone has it in for her. She drags her family to every campaign rally she had then wonders why they get mentioned?? Im beginning to think Endo is her manager.-

The only reason the "the right wing in America" appears to have "no plans, no agenda, no view," is that they recognize that government has no role in fixing problems, bit a big role in causing problems. The private sector broke the economy and they are the only ones that can fix it (once given the government cash that they have requested).

maybe i can just read better than the author. Palin isn't complaining about the abusive comments, any more than Hillary did. she's complaining about thecontinual sniping that has run up a $500,000 legal bill to defend what she calls spurious legal attacks.
she's being SLAPP (stategic lawsuit against public participation) suited right out of office because she can't afford to defend herself. for the lefties, that's probabaly the goal. to eliminate her as a political threat. a threat to what, i'd ask. this fear of her is astounding.
at this point, because the left won't lay off, i'm wishing her well.-

Some of the ethics violation complaints against Palin were filed BEFORE she ran for Vice President, a few were filed by REPUBLICANS and ALL of them have been filed in Alaska by Alaskans.

Contrary to her lie that these suits have cost Alaska "millions of dollars", the state has paid less than $300,000 in connection with these charges to date.
She has already been forced to reimburse the state of Alaska for $3,000 in travel charges for her children, so do you really expect us to believe she has been bullied out of office by the national media or that she quit for the benefit of Alaska? -

if you are implying that we are worried that palin will become more popular than obama, you really are delusional, or is it just wishful thinking.

if palin wins the republican nomination next time around, i will cheer, because it will clearly demonstrate the continuing dysfunction of the republican party. -

let's look at the flip side of your question.

do YOU really think that she's resigning because she feels like it? she's articulated, in her own disjointed way, that she and her office have become paralyzed by attacks coming from all directions all the the time.
maybe you'd have time to fend off the baloney, but maybe she is doing what's best for Alaska. do you think the next guy is going to face any of this? me neither.
its nothing but raw, punch you in the face politics.-

Sort of like the "vast right-wing conspiracy" that has been after the Clintons since the 90's? I think some of the stuff that has come out about Palin has been unfair, but it's nothing more than what Hillary has faced, including attacks on her kid. Surely Palin who claims to be as tough as pitbull can handle what a Clinton can, can't she?
