Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin took the stage at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina on Harbor Island just after 8 p.m. Saturday to address a large crowd of supporters and journalists who’d gathered in a ballroom to hear her introduce a senatorial candidate.
The former GOP Vice Presidential nominee and Tea Party Movement favorite was expected to introduce her fellow Alaskan, Republican Senate candidate Joe Miller, at a political fundraiser promoting former combat veterans running for U.S. Congress next month.
Palin, standing in front of a row of American flags on stage, took shots at what she called the "lamestream media," saying, that when the media "just doesn't get it and when they don't believe what perhaps your message is so they want to belittle you and mock you and treat you with much disdain, you know, I think, well they can do that to me, that's fine, because I know truth."
She went on, "You know what, you can say whatever you want to say about me but I raised a combat vet and you can't take that away from me."
The event was organized by the political action committee Combat Veterans for Congress. Tickets cost $300 and up per person, and about 500 people were expected to attend the event, titled "Patriotic Gala." Among the local congressional candidates attending were Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Alpine, and Republican congressional candidates Nick Popaditch, who is running in the 51st District, and Michael Crimmins, who is running in the 53rd district.

They know! :-)
ouch
At a news conference, Combat Veterans for Congress Chairman Joseph John said the group was "very concerned about about her security."
Sheraton hotel manager Warren Nocon said the hotel had already planned to have a security presence at the event.
Hear! Hear!
:)
Unbelievable how these whackos try to ruin a wonderful event by threatening her life..sickening..but that is the world we live in with these “tolerant” progressive liberal nuts running around
I goofed up the posting...dammit... but yes, and in my hometown. People are absolutely stark raving mad. She merits top security. NOTHING better happen to her. NOTHING.
Full report please! Spare no details.
Another libtard, progressive, communist, obama-supporting, illegal, whatever sub-human death threat.
I doubt whatever idiot who made that threat came from Bakersfield..good people over there, probably some looney tune from somewhere else who called in a threat. Lunatics, what can you say about someone who would threaten another human being’s life
Compare and contrast dynamic speaking styles:
Palin: “You know what, you can say whatever you want to say about me but I raised a combat vet and you can’t take that away from me.”
Biden:: “You’re the dullest audience I’ve ever spoken to”
This is, what I predict, will push Sarah to declare by the end of February. Elections will be over. The new congress will have been sworn in and she needs the secret service protection from these insane whack-jobs on the left.
It’s the world we’ve always lived in. The signers of the Constitution have mostly stories of horrid grief and loss for what they knew was right.
Without Teleprompter.
Of course..if she does decide to run she won’t do it now, she will wait til early next year. Right now November is the most important, let’s take care of business next month and we can worry about 2012 down the road
Have you read the comments, at the site?
The female in the blue blouse doesn’t look too happy.
