Former Thatcher Aide Nile Gardiner: Margaret Thatcher Did Not Snub Sarah Palin
The London Telegraph ^ | 6/13/11 | Nile Gardiner

Posted on 06/13/2011 1:00:49 PM PDT by palinsupporter1

I have spoken to Lady Thatcher’s Private Office regarding the story, and they confirm that the attack on Sarah Palin definitely did not come from her office, and in no way reflects her views. As a former aide to Margaret Thatcher myself, I can attest that this kind of thinking is entirely alien to her, and that such remarks would never be made by her office. She has always warmly welcomed like-minded figures in the United States, and has in the past met with numerous US presidential candidates and political dignitaries when they have visited London. But at the age of 85 she is now able to receive very few visitors at all. There was never any snub of Sarah Palin by Lady Thatcher’s office. However, there has been a great deal of mischief-making and unpleasantness in a vain and futile attempt to use Margaret Thatcher’s name to smear a major US politician.

I consider everything the media prints about Palin to be a lie until comfirmed.

Most of it never is.

My heart goes out to any one who doesn't have the common sense to disbelieve anything the MSM prints!

The old-style COMMUNIST and NAZI PROPAGANDA machine methods has gone ‘viral’, worldwide, and inside our very own fences. I can only say... “the enemy within”!

Statement: "But at the age of 85 she is now able to receive very few visitors at all."

Response: Age would be sufficient reason to limit access to Mrs. Thatcher.

A genuine Krug Electric and a lifetime supply of butyl mercaptan.

(This is a very obscure Bob Costas reference to prizes at a sports trivia contest, btw).

If he talked to her office, why did he not ask the question again?

Like I said when this story first broke, no one with any common sense believes any claptrap coming out of the UK press. They are the poster child for a country that has slid into one stinking, steaming pile of political correctness dung. A real pity for this once great country and former superpower.

God bless Margaret Thatcher, the last survivor of the great triumvirate of Western leaders who helped bring down the Evil Empire: Thatcher, Reagan, John Paul II.

I have bet on Rush every time. Unfailingly, he sets his listeners up way ahead of the curve, especially when he has a personal insight as in this case. Isn’t it fun!
