The woman who brought and hung the banner had permission to do so. Mrs. Palin's entourage had no right to tear it down. Simple.
Yep. Reps for ya.

Really, how would you feel?
Would you go and talk to the person or just drive by it everyday???
Would you do everything in your power to have it taken down or just let it stand with the feeling that it is not true?
Think about this and please let us know what YOU would do, okay?
Not a good analogy.

You cannot compare a private citizen to a politician who is actively campaigning.

I would probably confront the person. But I would not try to limit someone's rights!

Ummmm..........where there is smoke there is fire.

I have never heard of another politician resigning over allegations unless they were true.

I don't see the President quitting his job or shirking his duty because of personal investigations and lawsuits.........."birthers", need I say more?

And as far as the teacher........why the stunned expression on Sarah's face? Afraid to debate a teacher, Sarah?

And..........so what if the lady did play in a drag queen band?

She is still an American citizen.

She is still an Alaskan citizen.

She is still a voter.

She has the same rights as anyone else...............except maybe in the eyes of Sarah Palin and her followers.
Tom Delay quit office and the cahrges were found to be not true. I'm betting there have plenty more.

Obama isn't getting hit with lawsuit after lawsuit. Nor would he have to show up in court or really deal with them if he was.

And what did Palin do to violate this woman's rights? The video didn't show anything of the sort.


Just more Palin bashing by the left. It's really got to point of being ridiculous.

I think it says loads about those who defend this woman.
Palin has every right to say whatever she wants & I can only hope she keeps talkin.
As she would say herself" it just shows to go ya"

It wouldn't bother me. I learned back in grade school that most people do things just to get a rise out of you and when they don't they lose interest. If it did bother me, I would have just chosen another route. But seeing as how she's a public figure she'd better get a thicker skin when it comes to criticism and people disliking her or she'll spend the rest of her life confronting people.

Of course it doesn't matter that Palin didn't tear down that sign any, or do anything other than have a conversation.

That a hack pretending to be a journalist quoted words not in the transcript.

I after viewing the video, and reading the transcript, I happened to glance in a mirror next to me and suddenly my hair seems fixed, and my finger nails are no longer broken. Funny I don't feel gay.

Riiight. Just like when I disagree with you, you go into attack mode.

Re-read the past posts for proof. Then quit trying to make yourself something you are not.

Well I guess you think more of me than I do of you, cause I can't even recall a thread where you've posted. I wouldn't care. And "online" is a far cry from the real world...at least for most sensible people. I come here to vent and voice my opinions and debate but at the end of the day I don't lose any sleep over anyone on this forum. When I log off I'm not walking around my house fretting over what Arjay51 said about online
