- No mistake. She was exactly right in what she said on that interview.
- If you have the right to ask any question, you are right to ask that question.
In her facebook post, Sarah Palin said that sometimes you have a right to ask a question, but that question is not right to ask. She gave a specific example, the left questioning her and asking her to prove Trig was her son.
So while you say that having a right to ask a question means you are RIGHT to ask the question, you are contradicting what Sarah Palin said.
So you claimed she was exactly right, and then contradicted her statement with your statement.
Maybe my mistake was in thinking you believed YOUR statement. Maybe you made a statement you KNOW is wrong, so as to show that Sarah was right by contrast.
Mostly I think you just misunderstood what she said in her facebook entry. She clearly said that having the RIGHT to ask a question doesn't mean it IS RIGHT to ask the question. She gave the specific example of questions about her son Trig, and then said she would never ask Obama about his birth certificate.
Don't paraphrase. Just state the direct quotes from her. This is what she said on her Facebook, and I quote:
“Voters have every right to ask candidates for information if they so choose. I’ve pointed out that it was seemingly fair game during the 2008 election for many on the left to badger my doctor and lawyer for proof that Trig is in fact my child. Conspiracy-minded reporters and voters had a right to ask... which they have repeatedly.”

Exactly where did she say “but that question is not right to ask”?
I don't see it. All I can see is that she said they have the right to ask. She never said anything about the question not being the right question to ask did she?
