Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin appeared on Fox News Channel’s The Five on Friday where she gave a wide ranging interview about the Supreme Court decision on health care on Thursday as well as her objections to health care reform legislation. Towards the end of the interview, Palin challenged ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos to call out President Barack Obama for lying to him in an interview where he famously claimed that the individual mandate in health care reform was not a tax.

Co-host Eric Bolling asked Palin to weigh in on the broadly varying conservative reaction to the Supreme Court’s verdict on health care reform.
“I can see both sides of this,” said Palin. She said that there are conservatives who are understandably disappointed that the court did not overturn the health care law, while others might be saying “right on, Supreme Court, thank you for concluding that this is a tax – despite what Obama had promised that it’s not a tax.”
“The glass being half full now tells us, good,” Palin continued. “You put it back in our hands, the people’s hands.” She said that this tax will be either enacted or rescinded by Congress – she recommended that after the Congress returns from recess that they should begin the process of rescinding that tax in order to defund health care reform.
Kimberly Guilfoyle asked if Palin was saying that she thought this was a boon to Republican’s electoral hopes. Palin agreed and enumerated a number of reasons why the bill was deceptively passed to begin with. She contends that the individual mandate being a tax was just one of many deceptions.
“Governor, the deception; does that include death panels there that were never real that you said were in the bill,” interjected co-host Bob Beckel.
I saw it and she beat Beckel and Stephy like the rented mules they are and always will be.

fox news has placed robert beckel on the [PUP-physically unable to perform] list after Sarah Palin beat him to a pulp. Beckel’s return time is undetermined.
Beckel makes that show unwatchable for more than a few minutes to me. I can’t understand why they don’t just tell him to STFU. Instead they make jokes about his lying and name-calling. Even after Palin handed him his head, he came back later with more snotty name-calling that nobody called him on. He’s the FOX version of Ed Schultz, a loud, fat, drunk, lying bully.
It’s a wonder he didn’t start throwing out F-Bombs and crapping all over the set. Beckel is pure lib jack-ass all the way.
I saw this and it really was fabulous but I’ll take Beckel any day over Juan Williams. Beckel knows he’s a clown but Juan is deadly serious about his opinions! He calls everything he believes as “facts”!!!!
I think Bob also said that he wasn’t aware of the “tanning bed tax” while he’s claimed to be an expert on all aspects of the bill. THAT was jaw dropping! That was the first tax that went into effect!
Can’t shame liberals sadly.
