Hope that helps, and more to the point, any remark made by a left against a conservative is done deride because they think we are stupid.

There is nothing wrong with what she said....

The Iowa politician did not know that there was even a controversy. This is all inside baseball within the conservative and lefty communities. He thought it was a good lead in way to mention her name and meant nothing by it.

The only idiots offended were on this thread and for no reason at all. And it's not the first time I've seen this nonsense. It looks just like this at DU. It ain't good.

He should have. It is common knowledge.

No, it really it not. Saturday Night Live is not political "inside baseball."

Palin's actual "see Russia" remark was uncontroversial and passed unnoticed by the public. Saturday Night Live made it controversial and famous by changing Palin's words to make her sound like an idiot.

For Vander Plaats to reference the quote is to reopen that wound. Either he intended to insult Palin, or this was a gaffe.
