Ms. Palin has agreed to appear in suburban Lakewood at a "Tribute to the Troops with Sarah Palin," a fundraiser for the families of fallen soldiers in suburban Denver. John Andrews, a former GOP gubernatorial nominee who heads the Centennial Institute, says Ms. Palin will not accept a fee and all proceeds from the event will go to family members who have lost breadwinners in combat.

The self promoting publicity tours of Palin and Hannity under the guise of doing it for the charity case troops , demean the sacrifices of our military.

As a vet and the father of a Navy Captain, I call bullshit on your opinion.

Every military person that I've talked with about these type of events is not only grateful for the financial help but thankful that America is honoring their service.

If you are a vet, you need an attitude adjustment, if you are not STFU and get out of here.

In the years i’ve followed FR I can’t remember a more silly comment. Mrs Palin lending her name to a fund raising event for the military is an act of respect.

That’s major BS. As someone who served, I can say that with a great deal of authority.

just curious, so how do you think they should plan to fund raise for a charity without you accusing them of self interest. The point of making it public is to make sure ppl will turn up and donate.

How many times have you seen charity events on tv for earthquakes victims? Are they all self promoters and demeaning to the victims?

So it would be better for Sean and Sarah to ignore the troops, so as not to be accused of self-promotion? How silly. I don’t think that many of the troops and their families agree with you. You have a severe case of PDS, which is nearly as incapacitating as Polaris Extremis, I understand. Bob

So what have you done to benefit the military lately?

Unbelievable that someone here would say something like that.

Wow. That is a new level of PDS. In addition to what others have pointed out, I would like to add that Governor Palin is proud of her Veteran Son. You gotta look in the mirror Dude and see if there is anything worth salvaging.

You are clearly clueless about their great mutual relationship with the U.S. military.

Now, that you have been informed--get lost.

I was going to post links to several of your other posts which demonize Sarah to impart a better understanding of your comment by others which read this thread. Judging from the replies of others, it appears that the "hill has been taken," so to speak.

Since Sarah is not your cup of Tea, is there anyone that you do favor for a Presidential nomination?
