On Fox News Sunday, Sarah Palin stated that she has videotape of people from a CBS affiliate in Alaska trying to gin up a false controversy about Republican senatorial candidate Joe Miller. Palin calls the CBS people "corrupt bastards."

Wow. No punches pulled. I hope they do release that tape of which she speaks before election day.
I was watching it live and was taken aback (and pleased) at how matter-of-factly she called them exactly what they are.
No, they should not compromise on principle. Absolutely not, Palin said on Fox News Sunday.
This may well be the most significant statement any individual in the political arena has uttered in recent times! The key word here is "principle."
For too long, most political discourse has centered on "issues," not "principles." "Issues" come and go, but "principles" are enduring and should not be compromised for political expediency. One may "compromise" on issues, but not on a principle essential to liberty.
America became a beacon of liberty in the world because that unique and special group of individuals we call the "Founders" were not focused on "issues" of the day. Instead, they were focused on and passionate about one goal for themselves and their posterity in this new land: individual liberty--how to achieve it, and how to preserve it.
They shared a common belief that the rights of individuals come from a Creator, not as grants from other human beings.
They had studied the history of civilization. They understood human nature and the tendency to abuse power, once it is acquired, and they sought to prevent such abuses of power in their own form of self-government by relying on enduring principles.
Their debates were on principles, not some issue de jour.
As a result, America became a great place of opportunity for oppressed individuals and families from all over the world.
A study of their principles, of their built-in protections for liberty in the Constitution which resulted from their efforts, might enable this generation of statesmen (if any can be called that) to rebuild our foundations, to relight the flame of liberty in the hearts and minds of the "People," and to assure that future generations will not live in tyranny.
Thomas Jefferson, in his First Inaugural outlined the principles guiding his Administration and concluded:
"These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and the blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty, and safety."
In recent times, not enough emphasis has been placed on how this or that question about an issue relates to a principle essential to our very liberty as a nation.
We must return to the "road" described by Jefferson if liberty is to survive the assaults by both major Parties over the past 100 years.
I’ve long been telling my friend America is longing for “Stone Cold Steve Austin” type politicians: no nonsense, tell- it- like -it -is style......
Having her say it is fine, but actually putting the taped evidence out will be devastating.
Were I her, I would have used the term “traitors” instead.
Governor Sarah calls a bastard a bastard.
I’ve got a great idea. Let’s run Sarah for President in 2012!
Fox News played the actual recording this morning. It WAS devastating, some female was laughing about linking Miller to a child molester, as though it were a prank instead of a criminal act. The reporterette's station ought to hear from all of us.
They played it on Fox this morning. Need to hear maybe a bit more context; but it sounds very damning.
Hard to imagine any context that might soften up what was said.
File a complaint with the FCC. The station owners are required by law to provide a response.

Outstanding!
Contact the FCC and file a complaint. The reporters work for the station owners, not CBS.
The station owners will have the record of complaints and their reponses in their public files. The more complaints, the better.
IbJensen said, “Ive got a great idea. Lets run Sarah for President in 2012!”
Count me in!
Palin/Bolton 2012 We the people . . .
well....the use of the word bastard won’t go over too well with some here
why just last week...I had a powerful dispute with a noted freeper here over the S-word with an asterik in the position of the letter “i”
how will Freepers react to Sarah and her salty spoken word?
for the record I like Palin a lot..
Change reminds me of Satan whispers, because God does not change. I like things that are inspired by truth and the principles of our Judeo-Christian heritage. Therefore, I like restoration, instead of change. Change seems cancerous and malignant.
