In a picture supplied by Sarah Palin's family to the Associated Press, Palin appears with some rather odd reading matter: The magazine of the ultraconservative John Birch Society.

The picture, dating to 1995, when Palin was a member of the Wasilla City Council, ran beside a profile of Palin in Saturday's New York Times. The magazine, The New American, is sitting on top of her calendar on her desk, unopened....

Or at least professionally decontaminated before returning here.

She has an Israeli flag in her office too, but that hasn’t stopped the Left from trying to smear her as anti-semitic.

Those who will be making a big deal about a right-wing journal on Sarah Palin’s desk 13 years ago will likely be the same ones who downplay the issue of Barack Obama’s longtime association with Jeremiah Wright, Bernadine Dohrn, and William Ayers.

1. Everyone who read Das Kapital or Mein Kampf as part of their historical or political studies is suspect as a possible enemy of America. .................................. Started to read Mein Kampf years ago, got as far as 25 pages and I haven’t awakened since. ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz Snore.

Oh, so after weeks of using numerous articles like this to bash Palin on FR, all of a sudden you're posting them to say "tsk tsk"? Yeah right.

Go away, dweeb.

Would this make her a paleoneocon or a neopaleocon?

I thought neopaleocon was a kind of ice cream where you get three flavors in one container...

Please excuse my ignorance here, but what is wrong with JBS? My Grandmother used to write a zillion letters day-in and day-out. That was the only time I’ve ever heard of them. Seemed harmless to me at the time. (years ago, btw)

If you have a copy of the Birch magazine on your desk you must be a far right nut job, but no conclusions are allowed to be drawn if you hang out with a communist domestic terrorist involved in bombing the Capitol and the Pentagon.

Fascinating that a big deal can potentially be made by msm over a 12-yr old pic of an unopened mag on her desk, yet obamasiah gets a pass when he hangs out with Ayres and Rev Wright?! There needs to be a new term for “main stream media”, because they surely are not!

I’m surprised that the reaction to the Israeli flag wasn’t an accusation of being a “Zionist”.

Funny that someone can be both a Zionist and anti-semitic in the same libs’ mind.

However,

absent from this discussion are the Che pictures and the Cuban flags on the walls of the 0bama campaign headquarters...

Regardless, I think we have to confront the Communist threat again. This time, it is more insidious.
Communist? Don't you mean "trading partners"?

No. I’m talking about the communism that is attacking our culture and traditions. It eminates largely from our universities.

Eighteen years ago vice-presidential candidate Palin may have read a John Birch Society Magazine.

Three days ago presidential candidate Obama met with donors in LA including far-left radical Jodie Evans of Code Pink who disrupted Palin’s speech at the Republican convention, who sympathizes with terrorist Osama, Chavez and other dictators, and who undermines US efforts in Iraq by supporting the terrorists there. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2085540/posts

So who does the media focus on?? Do we need to ask??
