Newsmax as an information source for a presidential candidate was very troubling. I was rather shocked that she had not come up with a better answer in the interim, and concluded that she is obviously pandering to the fringe right wing (which has really been her demographic all along).

She's also recently done a bunch of right wing media interviews which I haven't seen, but may be on YouTube -- Hannity, etc. Nothing with any degree of difficulty that I've heard of.

In saying this, I was referring to her interview with Charles Gibson. Specifically, here's a copy of the exchange that came to mind:



I took this from the best transcript I could find in a few minutes, at: http://www.clipsandcomment.com/2008/...gibson-part-i/
...as mentioned, it is technically correct. I thought you were referring to the Saturday Night Live, "you can see Russia from my backyard", which many Palin haters think is true.

So if that bothers you about Palin, you must truly hate the idiocy of our president.

Here is your link... now quit whining.
We're accustomed on this forum of substantiating specific claims and quotes by accompanying them with a link, or providing one when asked. Just so you know for the future. "So quit your whining."

What you posted isn't what I was talking about.

I said "if she couldn't answer the question the first time, and wasn't able to follow-up with a better answer once people started commenting on it, what am I to do with that?"

You said, "Then you have missed following interviews with other people on the radio and television where she clearly answered the question in detail."

Sarah Palin said this on Wednesday, November 18, 2009 in a conversation with Sean Hannity. That was almost four weeks ago, and 14 months after she was asked the question.

I trust you are not trying to pass this off as Sarah Palin following up with voters in a timely manner on a question she was asked during the campaign. Obviously, answering it a year after the voting is over is not a relevant follow-up by anyone's standard and wasn't what we were talking about.

Do you have anything that answers my question and supports your claim in an honest manner? And what of your other claim concerning Katie Couric and her "purposeful" negative intentions?

So, Sarah Palin names Newsmax as the first source of news that comes to mind. Her local newspaper was second. The Wall Street Journal was named last?

This is incredibly illuminating, but not really.

You act like the order has any relevance.

Newsmax offers stories you can't get elsewhere so I see no issue. I follow it as well as some left wing places like the Huffington Post.... so what?

No, it doesn't bother me that then-Senator Obama said he had visited 57 states. I took this as some sort of flub due to exhaustion and disorientation, as happens to all candidates. I also find it hard to compare to someone claiming that being able to physically see a country across a body of water is qualifiable as international or foreign policy understanding. What Obama said is funny and nonsensical, what Palin said was meant to be serious.

Just checking, I guess you don't make excuses for the left. (sarcasm)

Then you must love the funny stupid comments from Biden.

At least be an honest lefty that hates the right. All politicians make stupid comments

You can see Russia from this part of Alaska:

Palin scares the (*)(*)(*)(*) out of you ! I love it !

It has been a real good Fall for her. With trumping the Dems by resigning her stationary target post as Alaska Governor, then the overwhelming success of her book, the book tour, Tea Party support, and aspiration speculation for the next couple of elections, she's on the roll. And here you are talking about snippets from assclown interviews, the assclowns being Couric, etc.

Keep it coming. The louder you bark, the greater the threat !
