Many of us join Secretary Gates in condemning the Associated Press for its heartless and selfish decision to turn its back on the wishes of a grieving family in order to exploit the tragic death of a true American hero.
Lance Corporal Joshua 'Bernie' Bernard was a selfless young American who sacrificed everything for our freedom.
Shame on the AP for purposely adding to the grieving family's pain. Ignoring the family's wishes by publishing a sacred image of their loved one proved a despicable and heartless act by the AP. The family said they didn't want the photo published. AP, you did it anyway, and you know it was an evil thing to do.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Bernard family. Words can not adequately express our sorrow and appreciation for your sacrifice. We will never forget your Marine or his fallen comrades.
May God bless the Bernard family.
A subject on which, like many others, Sarah walks the walk.
U GO GIRL!!! The AP(Otherwise known as the Anti Palin Network) is the scumiest scum of the earth. They have NO soul. It’s good to see Sarah smack them down too. I hope Karma bites those AP bastards in the ass sooner or later
Sarah: Providing the leadershipt lacking both in the GOP AND the White House.
And some say this woman isn’t fit to be President. Not this man! NOT THIS MAN!
Blame Obama.
BTTT
The great thing about it is that, when Obamanation finally collapes, the state run MSM is going to collapse with it.
I like the cut of her jib, her gams ain’t bad either.
Pray for America and Our Marines
Psst, though the picture was billed as a dying serviceman, he had been expected to live. Unfortunately, a blood clot in the heart did him in during surgery.
Sarah has something the Obama Administration will NEVER have..and that is INTEGRITY. Sarah loves this country, Obama apologizes for it. Sarah says God Bless America, Obama says GD Damn America and associates with the scumiest of scum on this earth. Obama did not say a damn thing about the despicable act that the AP did upon this grief stricken family. Sarah has more qualifications to be President in her pinky finger then Obama has in his entire body. I’d feel safer with a person who loves this country more then a guy who hates this country
Note the tone here used by Palin - It is the tone of a scolding Mother, a Mother who also has a son serving in Iraq. This hits home with other families who have loved ones serving in the Middle East. This is not one of those dull statements or press releases that others would have done. Palin completely tore the AP a new booty-hole.
They aren’t state subsidized — yet. They will simply go under like any private firm that has a product that does not sell well.
She is the other of a marine. She knows about worrying for that knock on the door saying her son is dead. She knows that kind of fear, she lives it everyday. What she wrote was very passionate, she doesn’t talk like a politician which is something I respect so much. She talks like one of us, like someone who just goes out there and speaks her mind. The AP should be ashamed of themselves but knowing what kind of trash they employ, I bet they all sleep good at night
The MSM are plain evil.
Palin4President.
certainly selfish and heartless. AP only doing it for themselves
Sarah takes a common sense approach to a problem. She OBVIOUSLY loves her country and I believe when the time is right she will step forward and beocome a great President.
Notice this crucial statement right here..
Many of us join Secretary Gates in condemning the Associated Press
She does NOT mention Obama, because he NEVER condemned what the AP did. So she is basically saying “Hey Mr. President, what gives?” Well we all know why Obama would never condemn the AP for doing what they did, Obama HATES this country. He shows it with every move he makes
Actually, if you read what she says in the beginning, she is implicating Obama without being political. "Many of us join Secretary Gates..." She's silently screaming "WHERE THE F IS OBAMA ON THIS?"
I feel a disturbance in the force. As if hundreds of sphincters at AP all clinched up at once.
They’ve gone and pissed off Sarah Barracuda, which even The One Obamafurher cannot withstand. He quickly retreated in terror when she posted her disgust of his so-called “Death Panels” on her Facebook page.
Now the AP will have to beg for mercy, or (gasp!) publicly apologize for publishing that photo of Lance Corporal Joshua Bernard against his family’s wishes.
Sarah’s boy is coming home now
He made it , safe & sound
Of course. We’ve seen the “Blame Bush” riff so much and it’s harder to see a more square example of something that can be blamed on Obama. I mean didn’t he promise to wind down the wars in nothing flat?
"Palin interjects herself in a family matter"
The Commander in Chief should have someone’s a$$. I won’t hold my breath. George W. whould not have put up with this.
And don’t forget, Sarah was the first to expose the “Death Panels” in Obama’s socialized health plan.
Uh huh...YOU GO GIRL!!! (See my tagline.)
Went to my facebook page and hit the ‘like it’ button. Already about 4,000 people have given their thumbs up or down.
What the AP did in this case is beyond the pale. Can’t they find some hippie parents of an American hero that hate their country enough to give them the ok. To any lawyers out there, can the family sue the AP for this? The editor or whomever that approved this should be fired.
As usual, she takes a stand on principle and hits the State Run Obamist Press right between the eyes.
Mittens? Huck? Et tu?
Pardon me while I post what needs to be posted.....
Best,
Chris
Of course! Taking no note of the family itself being incensed over the pix of the wounded soldier who was soon to die. They can only make themselves look like goof balls.
Her son is in the Army National Guard and serves in an Infantry unit.
Has become? More like they have been for centuries. (This fact incensed Abraham Lincoln, among other notables.)
Actually I felt that last night just after midnight, I thought it was the DUmmies heads exploding over Van Jones ouster, but I guess we could have two disturbances of the force! Go Palin, my vote for 2012.
At the rate Governor Palin is hitting home runs, she’ll pass Henry Aaron by the end of the year.
"Palin interjects herself in a family matter"
Maybe, but Sarah will then unload some even heavier artillery on them, which will do real damage because she speaks from truth, and she's too huge to silence.
As Larry Elder says, "Truth is like kryptonite to a liberal". She'll kill 'em with it.
I despise the Associated Press (we call it the Associated Mess) and I love Sarah!
...........and calls it like it is.
Furthermore (continuing from my post #24), the “analysis” will be written by Rachel D’Oro.
They have to exhale, sometime.
Just saw your post #35 - totally agree!
So did I.
The last time I felt a psychic ripple that large from the left was in the moments right after Sarah Palin's introductory speech at the Republican National Convention.
I'll never forget the enormous vacuum I felt in the air. It was if the left had all collectively sucked in their breath at once. I could actually feel that they were stunned into total synapse failure.
And, of course, the proof of that came shortly afterwards, when the unrelenting personal attacks against Sarah began. And they haven't stopped. The left is still scared to death of this woman.
And, for good reason, I might add.
Actually, Track enlisted in the Regular Army, not the Guard:

Hmm...sacrificial lamb?
You are right of course, I have known that in the past but interestingly grabbed the first Track Palin site that happened to say Army National Guard and tonight I just didn’t catch it, no wonder it didn’t mention the unit.
Sarah doesn’t need to speechify herself silly to get some very potent points across.
Great pic!
No, she doesn't, which is something she has in common with all great communicators of the past. Sometimes she turns a phrase worthy of Mark Twain, Reagan, or Churchill.
And, she can even do it off the cuff, which is even more amazing.
I'm sure we'll one day throw around Palin quotes that have become part of the cultural vernacular.
The man had a leg blown off and the other severely mangled. I don't know where you got your info about a blood clot or the fact that he was expected to live. In fact I don't know what your point is but the bottom line is the AP decided AFTER his death to publish the photo against the family's wishes.
My mother, who has previously been unlikely to vote for anything other than a man for president, has changed her mind since Palin arrived on the scene. She stated as much yesterday.
