It's a biased hit-piece. Unless you are predisposed to rah-rah silly little pieces that hate on folks you disagree with, it ain't worth the time.

There is no there there.

Not biased at all. This is factual in every aspect. There is no perspective when illegal searches are conducted, and the 1a goes out the windown when it says something mean to her. Show me the part that was stated incorrect?

I really don't like Palin, but this was definitely a hit-piece. "supporters carried assault rifles" - really? Assault rifles?

"Palin wasted so much of her time" - judgment call.

"The First Amendment only matters when you say or write something someone else doesn't like." - If it's factual

Okay she bailed on her bible sworn office in Alaska.

I would have to say that this was a piece on a hippocrit political oppertunist with no concern for anything beyond her bank account.

You lie if you say this thread would not be 400 messages by now if this had been a democrat. You do yourselves no service by acting like you support 2a and supporting a blatent violation of several freedoms without regard because she is a claimed gun lover. Just because you may agree with the stance someone takes on an issue does not mean you should ignore their actions or inactions.

I mean the patriot act was not a problem because it was put up by a republican. Pure amnesty for illegals was not a problem when your demi god Reagan said it, but O'bama propses health care and he is a socialist? He proposes a potential path to amnesty but with a tax for breaking the law and this forum has a problem.

Perhaps if the people on here did not have their head so far up the Elephant's poop chute they would have had a problem when George Bush Sr. was supporting the Brady Bill. Nope you take the easy route and give pure blame to Clinton because it did not reach the white house until after Bush was out. Perhaps you people should stop voting since you are lemmings it seems if you won't call out the obvious but accept some ass hat with a chalkboard and outlandish tin foil hat derived claims of a big plot. Stop patting each other on the back in here and go read a book. Perhaps one with facts in it. Then come back here and post this as if the name said some guy that Glenn Beck hates or Pelosi instead of Palin. Incorrigable.

Your posts are not worth reading.

I don't mind disagreement. I just ask for rationality and civility.

Bye. Off to Ignoreland with you.

Please learn to spell. You do us no favors in the eyes of anyone when you have poorly spelled rants.

That's other people's prerogative, not mine. I call it like I see it, regardless of what letter they put in front of your name on C-SPAN.

What does this have to do with what I said? Hell, I think Palin represents the worst bits of religious-right politics, but what does that have to do with an article using factual inaccuracies or hyperbolic declarations? If you've read any of my other posts you'd see just how important I think our other freedoms are, and you'd also see that I pay attention to more of the constitution than many posters here.


I mean the patriot act was not a problem because it was put up by a republican.
Did I ever claim this? Does this have anything to do with the thread at hand? The PA did one thing right (allowed cross-agency information collaboration) and a hundred things wrong (warrantless/roving wiretaps, for example).

Pure amnesty for illegals was not a problem when your demi god Reagan said it,
My "demi god"? You must be mistaking me for another poster.

but O'bama propses health care and he is a socialist? He proposes a potential path to amnesty but with a tax for breaking the law and this forum has a problem.
Perhaps you should take a look at my views on the constitutionality of the health care bill (and part 2) and the constitutionality of SB1070 before you attempt to derail my nuanced positions with stupid rhetoric. I should do a third followup for the healthcare bill though, as someone presented a cogent argument I'd like to explore.

Who are you calling "you people" ;)

Seriously, chill out, and perhaps read a book or ten yourself. I'm pretty sure that the strawman you're attacking is well and truly stuffed, so you can choose to address me at any time now.

Keeping the source in mind, if the allegations are correct, I would have some misgivings about the actions of Gov. Palin's supporters. I cannot see where private security would have any right to search people on a "public" dock. I cannot see calling someone an "A-hole" for voicing their opinion. I cannot see tearing down someone else's sign because you disagree with it. If Gov. Palin does not condemn these actions (if true) then I will lose enormous respect for the lady. If these actions had been taken by the supporters of a lib. I would expect the same condemnation.

You'll only see a lib critical of another after one has made a full blown moonbat admission of disdain for the constitution or the country. Even then it's never a repudiation or significant condemnation. Look at how obozo just threw the "Rev" Wright under the bus, without condemning the man, just mildly ridiculing him as a "crazy old uncle".

As far as I'm concerned the Huffpo is just as ridiculous as Infowars, coasttocoastam.com, media matters, The Daily Kos, or the VPC. It's all hysterical nattering delusional BS sold to borderline (or beyond) schizophrenics.

That said, anyone who takes any media driven information, from whatever source, as absolute truth is an idiot. I don't care if it's a source I like. Rush Limbaugh IS NOT right %99 whatever percent of the time, even if I were to agree with him %100 of the time, which I don't. Anyone who puts out information has an agenda. It's up to the consumer to weigh it's value. When it comes to left wing sources as far as I'm concerned, I should be paid to suffer through their insipid babbling.\

There is no reason for Palin to apologize for, or condemn the actions of anyone associated with her that I saw in this asinine video. She was kind enough to entertain a mentally disabled person as far as I'm concerned. She was there with her family, and some self obsessed moonbat staged an event that flopped so badly it took another moonbat to post what might as well be bold faced lies in yet another laughable attempt to discredit their perceived biggest enemy. What many moonbats don't seem to grasp is that the majority of the country that oppose ObozoCare, slush fund "stimulus", a "Tribute to Jihad" mosque in NYC, and this massive debt is their biggest enemy. Palin just happens to reflect the sentiments of a significant (but not majority) of Americans who are seriously pissed off.

Obozo did not campaign on liberal philosophies. Even his "brilliant" press sec has told the moonbat messiah's acolytes to get a grip. The reactionary left has shown who their percieved biggest enemy is in their tiny, feeble, and malleable little minds (or whatever part of their anatomy they use for one, and most of the time it doubles for a seat). Sarah Palin represents everything they hate about people, besides just human existence in general. I am glad obozo and his elitist leftwing sociopath cronies took control of the government. Even if it means economic pain for a few more years, people are now paying attention to their elected leaders, and they haven't been this disgusted since Carter's stupid speech about wearing sweaters.

At least Carter didn't spend his entire term whining about Ford's mess, but then again he hasn't shut up for 30 years. I have a feeling the moonbat messiah isn't going to go away anymore gracefully than a drunken stooge getting thrown out of a bar. Plus the SOB is going to live a lot longer.

Palin is wearing thin. I think she's just riding a profit wave into forgotten land, and knows it.

She's hot, tho. Does that count? Plenty of groupies swoon for Obozo, yet saying that Palin is a MILF gets jeers from the same crowd... Is it a good reason to vote for either? Double-standards are the foundation of Libtardation.

Can we lose the "Obozo" rhetoric? Even if you dislike him, he's the President of the United States of America, properly elected and duely appointed. That alone deserves your respect, even if you want to vehemently disagree with his policies.

I won't even get started on how stupid you have to be to buy into the "ground zero mosque" bullshiat.

My original point is that people are so in bed with their party that violations of rights happen easily by the people they support. I am not party aligned so I tend to see how violating the constitution is not a problem for most when it is done by people with the same political alignment they have. This story would have been crazy posted on if it was Pelosi not Palin who was the subject.

When illegal searches are conducted in public locations by people with no legal authority to do so, at the direction of or in the view of a supposed constitutional advocate it shows where the politicians really stand. Above the law is the common theme. If I was searched by her goons I would have cried bloody murder and probably sued them for touching me.

This same individual has supported taking fire arms to different events in the country but it is not okay when she is the cause of the gathering. So how does she really feel about 2a and firearms? I think she is scared of gun owners. I think she feels that her individual rights supersede that of "Joe American". I think she deserves to be called out on this in a public forum and her logic sought as she still sticks her 2 cents into every political issue.

This action requires her supporters to question her actions. You cannot simply stand out against the unconstitutional actions of the opposite party or the message is lost in the hypocrisy.

The disrespect to the POTUS is unacceptable and punishable to me under the UCMJ. If you look at what the POTUS promised during his campaign and was elected by the people to do vs. the actual actions taken, he has not veered very far from his promises. Love or hate him, you have to respect him for maintaining the promises he made as a candidate. I wish more politicians lived up to their promises. (www.politifact.org or www.factcheck.org)

I as a very liberal minded person see an obvious double standard when it comes to the actions of the parties and the heat that they take for them on these forums. This forum tends to live up the biased pat each other on the back for taking shots at democrats forum that I imagined it would be when I first stumbled onto it. It disappoints me because i am a strong supporter of 2a, yet find many on here are strong supporters of all things republican rather than all things constitutional. I wonder how many other people catch themselves bringing forth their own views skewed by topics other than 2a to the forums when posting. I see too many Right Wing posts and not enough 2a posts.

Maybe I missed it, but where is the constitutional violation exactly?

Searching private citizens under what authoriy? In a public place, but what authority? Was she searching for guns? They happen to be fully legal in Alaska. Also her supporters rip down a banner on public property because they disagree with it. She says nothing about it. Her husband tries to block the camera.. 1st amendment is being prohibited by her spouse. Intent, disregard and actual violation all in a span of a few minutes.

As far as I'm concerned the man is actively engaged in the purposeful decline of our country. That's the bottom line, and I have very little respect for any politicians of any stripe, and absolutely zero for a man I consider to be a clown at best.

Like it or not, people are upset over the mosque. I don't really care, that's what I expect coming from a bastion of leftist lunacy like NYC. I just wonder what would happen if Israel tried to rebuild Solomon's Temple.

I saw no search take place. I saw no aggression on the part of anyone there. Exactly how is someone standing in front of a moonbat's camera violating their rights? I personally don't care if her supporters did rip down the banner. Of course, I didn't see that happen either.

Whether you like it or not, the whole country in general is right of center. Since the gun grabbers are predominately leftwingers, you should have little trouble understanding why most people here oppose other leftist nonsense. Likewise, if it bothers you that much, stick to your kool-aid and the daily kos.

I think eye95 was right.

"You pray for war" and I am deployed away from my family at the moment. The third time in 3 years I will miss my childrens birthdays and Christmas. You pray for war because you know nothing of it or the sacrafice required. You are a mental midget. You choose not to dove into what happened that day and you condone ripping down a sign posted by a land owner on their property because someone disagrees with it. You are a real lesson in a failed civics education with your Savage Nation moon bat crap. Get your own voice.

I am very liberal and I hold up more than my end of the contract by going off and fighting wars with my liberal and conservative brothers and sisters. Leftists are Americans and fill the ranks of the military in numbers equal to the right. Do not think because you are told you are a great American by Hannity that it makes you one. Your obvious right wing sources for misinformation come at a cost. You seek to only apply the constitution when it suits you and that makes you a threat to it.

The whole country is not right of center as this president was legally elected by the people. The entire congress you see before you was also elected by the people. Obviously not what a country made up of a majority of right of center folks would do, now is it?

You have an obvious bias that makes reason and consistant logic escape you. Read the article and read others like it about that days events. I suppose you would not mind if I set up random search locations where non leos searched you for weapons? Do you not see a problem when non elected, non appointed individuals with no legal mandate or right, just step on your rights and search you in a public place? (Because some woman feels her comfort is more important than your constituionally protected rights)

Well I have to get some sleep so I am done messing with the savage nation of forum warriors as I have to defend your right to spew garbage on the internet when the sun comes up.

Name a recent national Politician who thinks they are not above the Constitution. Anyone?

Anyone?

Anyone?

Point is, most every Politician on the national level believe they are above the law, including the Constitution.
