'Sarah Rules' Aren't Uniform at U.S. Military Bases (NO PHOTOS, AUTOGRAPHS OR SPEECHES!)
Fox News ^ | 11-20-09

Officials at North Carolina's Fort Bragg reportedly laid down a strict set of do's and don'ts for former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin during a book signing event there on Monday. But at Fort Hood, the largest military base in the nation, she'll be treated just like anyone else.Fort Bragg officials on Thursday said the news media would be barred from covering Palin's book-signing event scheduled for next Monday out of fear that it could turn into an anti-Obama rally.

Their decision reportedly also barred Palin from giving any speeches, autographs or taking photos with troops. Base officials later relented, allowing limited media coverage, but whether Palin was barred from speaking or interacting freely with base personnel and families was unclear.

can you imagine what it would look like if she went to a base, and the people were going crazy, and the soldiers were hoo-raa’ing and having a great time? It would be a press death sentence for the dems- which is why I’m surprised they aren’t making her sign her book underground somewhere.

Nah, the person in that picture does not look enough like the CryptKeeper to be Andrea Mitchell!

HAHA yeah, the day you see Andrea Mitchell with a “Sarah Palin 2012” T shirt on you will know that hell has officially frozen over. Andrea is still a douche bag.

It sounds like there is an OBAMA sycophant at old FT. Bragg.

Someone should ship him/her to Afghanistan.

There is Sarah’s America, and Obamao’s America. Sarah is the divider. A guy on Rush’s show just pointed out the differences.

Sarah represents the America Obamao wants to destroy.

The Gustapo’s tentacles reach far and wide. Obama’s regime is no different than Hitler’s. Fortunately, when push comes to shove, I believe that our men and women in uniform will, in the end, take the side of the people not the administration.

I think it’s offical..the base commander was in fact trying to assert HIS OWN politics upon the situation...

NO PHOTOS, AUTOGRAPHS says it ALL....

This guy obviously finds her visit personally distasteful and quietly sought to step on it as much as possible...

Dont give me is record...Libs serve the military too...

"or taking photos with troops."

But wait...they took pictures of obama there at the memorial service giving his famous CROTCH SALUTE...

This is obama and the left stifling free speech under the guise of "military protocol".

Wednesday's edition of MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Reports -- broadcast on location from a bookstore in Michigan where Palin was scheduled to appear many hours later -- began with Mitchell breathlessly announcing that she and her crew had gotten to the mall at the crack of dawn:

....taken from Media Matters. It IS INDEED Mitchell
