Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin clarified remarks posted on Twitter this week in response to a Supreme Court ruling in favor of a church that demonstrates at military funerals, saying she was making a point about a double standard on free speech, not that the group shouldn’t have the right to protest.
Her quote was interpreted by many news outlets, including The Daily Caller, to mean that she disagreed with the Supreme Court’s ruling, although in a new statement exclusive to TheDC, Palin said she agreed with the ruling in favor of the church.
“Obviously my comment meant that when we’re told we can’t say ‘God bless you’ in graduation speeches or pray before a local football game but these wackos can invoke God’s name in their hate speech while picketing our military funerals, it shows ridiculous inconsistency,” Palin told TheDC. “I wasn’t calling for any limit on free speech, and it’s a shame some folks tried to twist my comment in that way. I was simply pointing out the irony of an often selective interpretation of free speech rights.”

It was hilarious to see the confusion amongst the Palintards last night.
Three minutes, twenty one seconds.
Wazza matter, napping on the couch?

“Palin said she agreed with the ruling in favor of the church”
Interesting.
You libertarians drive people away with you PDS ways! why dont you do same that you describe!
She can't. It's one of her biggest weaknesses.

I knew what she meant. Anybody that follows Gov. Palin knew what she was commenting on. Only the liberal pea brain would interpret it a different way like that clown at TPN. There are not enough characters on twitter for the pie brain liberals to interpret anything the right way.
What am I saying?? The liberal pie brains can’t interpret anything the right way.
You should STFU, creep.
It's a sign of unpreparedness to run for President. This is a shame because she is very qualified to be President of the United States.
Unfortunately this weakness of hers to fail to make her point the first time around will cause misinterpretations by those many voters who do not follow politics as closely as we do. They will misinterpret this weakness of hers to be a sign of being "unqualified" to be President of the United States.
Their was no confusion here. The only confusion was in your pie brain, dude.
RR always said what the heart of a republican was.HA,HA,HA commy!
Go back to DU. They appreciate such vulgarity. Your comments would be welcome there.
3/2/11 “Common sense & decency absent as wacko ‘church’ allowed hate msgs spewed @ soldiers’ funerals...”
3/3/11 “Palin said she agreed with the ruling in favor of the church.”
Consistency in a candidate’s message is always important.
What the f are you talking about it???
She had better things to do then worry about how liberal and rinos interpret her every word.
They never get it right and she doesn’t have that much time in a day to worry about it.
Be sweet commy.Sniff,sniff,
Where is the rest of the tweet, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN?
Yes run with that. You knew what she meant so endless sound bytes of her gaffes will not matter in a run. And bullets can’t hurt you either I bet.
You be sweet, Rino/liberal freck!
