I’m surprised Sarah didn’t give a more neutral answer to the question posed given how controversial the birther issue is.

She is usually VERY good at not handing the media any ammunition, leaving them to make up “news” to discredit her.

This time she handed them ammunition by acknowledging there is even a question in peoples minds of Obama’s eligibility.

Make sense now?

Well, there is a question in people’s mind. What’s wrong with that? How come we can’t ask the question, without being branded nuts by the liberals and their allies.

I understand some people on our side become nervous about this.

Up to a couple of months ago, the same was true with global warming. Look at where we are now.

Like I said before she answer the question well and if the media tries to use this against her it will backfire. Red Steel conveniently left out the part where Sarah compared the Trig truther issue to birther issue. Basically saying that if it is fair to ask for Trig’s birth certificate then it is fair to ask for Obama’s. I think she made a good point. She didn’t give them ammunition; she gave them enough rope to hang themselves.

"Controversial" to who? The lying sewer known as the MSM? Obots? RINOS? Moonbats and other assorted leftists? Ask me if I give a damn about what any of them think.

She can't lose any more points with that crowd, so she may as well speak her mind. She's built that way, anyway.

Get used to Sarah coming straight out with the plain, unadulterated truth. It's what she does, and it's who she is. She doesn't speak "nuance" or politi-speak, like most politicians. She speaks the way the people speak, which is why we love her.

“I think it’s a fair question, just like I think past associations and past voting record — all of that is fair game.”

Oh yeah. A butt-load of ammo there........./s

Probably because she's not a politician - she has no problem with speaking the truth. IMO, it's not controversial - the MSM and others have been told not to talk about it. Where's the ammo on something they don't want to touch to begin with?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ammunition? You bet she handed them “ammunitition”!

I think Sarah lobbed a powerful grenade right into the Marxist media camp by bringing up Trig’s birth ceritificate in the same breath a Obama’s. If the Marxist media goes after Palin for these comments they will blow themselves up with how they handled Trig’s paternity.
