“If she learns to overcome her urge to to respond, then think, she will kick their butts all the way to the white house. if not, she will be easily marginalized.”
This is a seemingly small, but in fact huge difference. That said, we must defend Sarah Palin, whom the socialist pressers love to savage, when she has 1 gaffe in 50 statements. But your idea is well stated.
I agree with you and wished she would travel to S.Korea not for photo ops and autographs but a honest to God situation briefing and the same of Iraq and Afghanistan.
“There is zero equity when to comes to such how the Press approaches misstatements.”
We have the issue of the socialist propagandist press, and then there’s the issue of Gov. Palin’s preparation. I really liked American in Tokyo’s discussion in post #14 above about Palin traveling internationally. Solid approach to silence all sorts of critics.
Wow, that’s bizarre.
Like Odumbo has not made any mistakes in what he has said in the campaign mode or even as the preceived president of the US.
Come now the media is looking for Mrs. Sarah Palin to say anything that can be construed as a royal screw up Talking about North korea and South Korea and suddenly a slip of the tongue that North Korea ia our ally. Lets see Odumbo has said
- there are 57 states in the US.
- his Muslim faith and corrected by George Stephanopoulos
- Corpsman pronunced as corpseman
- how about his extreme distaste for America.
- how about the problems with Odumbo and the DOJ New Panther Party fiasco.
- oh yes Odumbo gives the queen of Great Britain an Ipod with his speeches on it, and yes the Prime Minister gets DVDs that only work in North America.
Gee in the USA we have such an intelligent president that whenever he makes any mistake the compliant media is right ther to sing his praises. By the way the media in America truly does suck.
“This was a golden opportunity to show POTUS-worthy acumen and all we got was tweeting.”
A question: Do you think she can adequately prepare for foreign policy nuances from here? Or do you think she is unsalvagable? Again, I’ll defer to AiT’s post #14, which states the case very well.

“You and some others might not be satisfied that she didn’t give a lengthy exposition, but the media is trying to hang her with her slip of the tongue.”
The media is especially egregious here. Gov. Palin does have the general issue of preparedness for handling foreign policy and being our Commander in Chief. She needs to work hard in that area - and as AiT suggests, now is the time to do so.
Or breathalyzers for asthma patients!
I made the exact same mistake when discussing NK/SK with my wife the other day. She corrected me. I knew the difference but still said it incorrectly.
With an invitation like that, I’d bet Sarah WOULD come out to the front line in South Korea, with a parka, ear muffs and her ears open.
As to the quote, the media let Obama off when Stephenopolous corrected him about “my Muslim faith”
but do they give the same treatment to Palin?

oops, sorry for the triplicate.
It has been years since I've been in the DMZ (although I will be back there in December) but my knowledge of the issue is demonstrably deeper than hers. The same is true of other freepers.
I'd wager that my understanding of the bloodless coup in Kyrgzistan this past year is also deeper than hers. And I've never been there. Just in case you don't know...Putin orchestrated a take-over that had the end result of denying our forces their largest airbase for transit into and support of our troops in Afghanistan.
I'd bet the same regarding the problems in Colombia and other global hotspots. And I know that there are freepers whose knowledge surpasses mine.
The point is that she is woofing about being able to beat obama and be our President. She had better walk away from the limelight for a while and crack a book.

And she would be granted access based on what? She is, at this point, nothing more than a private citizen. Why would our commanders and policy makers brief her on anything sensitive?
The media was going all ga-ga over that line, thinking that it was a gaffe, not knowing or realizing that 1773 was the year of the Boston Tea Party.
This alone shows what hoops the media will jump through to demonize SP.
Grow up with all this childish troll stuff, only a private citizen? She would be a VIP that is a frontrunner for the 2012 GOP Presidential nomination, a Vice Presidential candidate only 2 years ago, and a holder of the Alaskan Governor security clearance only 16 months ago.
I think that she could get her visit.
Grow up yourself. At this point Palin is nothing but a private citizen. Any request for higher level briefings would have to be cleared by chain of command and guess who’s at the top of that. Even nominated candidates don’t get the same level of access as people already in place...ah, you know what? you’re an idiot and I’m done with you.

Governor Palin can make her visit.
