HANNITY: What do you think to pundits....that's the end of Sarah Palin's political career. Sarah Palin has become radioactive, is a term someone used, for example. Do you -- do you -- does this impact you or your political future in any way, Governor? Or change you?
PALIN: Well, on this day, celebrating the legacy and the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., we would be well to remember one of his famous quotes. He had reminded listeners that a lie cannot live. And I believe that not in every situation, it's just going to be providence that sheds light on what the truth is. We have to do our part, also.
So, in a situation like we have just faced in these last eight days of being falsely accused of being accessory to murder, I and others need to make sure that we, too, are shedding truth -- shedding light on truth so that a lie cannot continue to live. Because if a lie does live, then, of course, your career is over, your reputation is thrashed and you will be ineffective in what it is that you are trying to do.
So, I will continue to speak out. They're not going to shut me up. They're not going to shut you up or Rush or Mark Levin or Tea Party patriots or those who, as I say, respectfully and patriotically petition their government for change. They can't make us sit down and shut up. And if they ever were to succeed in doing that, then our republic will be destroyed. Not necessarily me being sat down and shut up, but having the voice of respectful dissent being shut up. That would destroy our republic.

Why?
Wow, it’s hard to keep up with all these Palin threads. We need a FreeRepublic Palin room.
Why?
My thoughts as well. Why go before a hostile reporter who isn’t interested in a real interview. Those types’ desires are to change the narrative, not to find out what Palin’s position is on any particular subject. Total waste of time.
Read some more of he thread and you’ll see why. If you still don’t get it, then don’t ask me.
YOU, Cyber Liberty, YOU back the double standard? Gimme a break. You need a refresher course in 'Conserve101'...
It's a weak metaphor - FOXNews is more than 'the choir' - think "force to be reckoned with"...
Citizens who won't turn away from CNN even for an hour - are NEVER going to vote for any of us anyhow. Why should we risk damage for them? Independents will switch between networks and views... they're worthy of our time.
Stay on the path - marginalize all 'only liberal' networks and cable channels by refusing them the 'good' interviews. Save those for those willing to be fair to both sides.
Whatever. Let me know if she takes your resume to come run her campaign, you seem to be the smartest person in the room here.
First: Conservatives don’t believe a double standard in the MSM is good. They feel it’s bad.
Second: Conservatives don’t think the rightness or wrongness of a position is based on how many people believe it. That’s sooooo Al Gore. I have no desire to count the people on the thread or to ‘get in line with the current groupthink’. Too silly.
Third: Your response was snarky - Dowdish... You know Maureen?
