About an hour ago, Sarah Palin Facebooked a rant against incumbent Senator Lisa Murkowski who is suing Dan Fagen, an Alaskan radio host, for electioneering. I actually agree with her free speech argument, but then we reach her “tea party” attack. And, Sexy Sara, electioneering does not equal free speech. It’s illegal.
Individuals like Dan Fagan have a fundamental right to speak their minds without threats from the incumbent Senator from Alaska. It is hard to find a constitutional right Americans cherish more than the right to free speech. This was a right Joe Miller, as a decorated combat veteran – a tank commander tested in battle, was willing to die to defend. Dan Fagan has not always agreed with me, but I will gladly defend his right to speak freely on his radio show, which he has often used to criticize me. In fact, Fagan has actually used his radio show to attack and insult me, my husband, my children, and my family in just about every way possible. He was especially insulting to my son, who left for a war zone to defend Fagan’s right to attack our family. But when I was his governor, I never would have dreamed of threatening his right to free speech. I support him in this fight because this D.C. Beltway thuggery, as exemplified by Lisa Murkowski’s latest threat, is ruining our country. The powers that be want ordinary Americans to sit down and shut up and let the ruling class ride us right off the debt cliff we’re heading towards with Obama, Pelosi, and Reid steering the nation’s car. We can’t let them. Now is the time to put aside our past differences and stand up to the establishment powers.
I guess Sexy Sarah no longer appears on shows that “attack and insult” given her fondness for FOX News and scripted interviews with Sarah-worshiping hosts. And even scarier than Palin herself? Her followers (by the way, there are over 700 comments on this post in the hour it has been posted):
What’s with all caps comments? And I love “YOUR NAME MEANS PRINCESS.” There’s hundreds more to read. Of course, you have to “Like” Sarah Palin to see them and then you get nasty comments from your Facebook friends. All in the life of a blogger.
