Dontcha’ know, Sarah Palin is coming to town this weekend, and you may see her cruising the streets of D.C. on the back of a hog.
The former Alaska governor, who is the subject of a lot of overheated speculation about whether she will run for president in 2012, has accepted an invitation to participate in the annual Rolling Thunder memorial ride this Sunday, an official says.
“As far as I know, she is trying to rent a motorcycle, so she can ride with her husband,” said Nancy Regg, a spokeswoman for Rolling Thunder.
Gregg says the tentative plan is for Palin to join up with the ride at the Pentagon at 7 a.m. The ride kicks off at noon, and hundreds of bikers will snake through D.C. to the event’s main stage, which will be between the Reflecting Pool and the Korean War Veterans Memorial on the Mall. The program is scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m.
Gregg said Palin is currently not scheduled to speak at the event and watchers should not expect any type of “political statement” from Palin during Rolling Thunder.

Heaven forbid we hold anyone accountable, particularly a politician, for something they said 2 1/2 years ago. Everybody gets a clean slate!
Her followers have a cultist, messianic passion for herI don't debunk ignorant pronouncements because I don't like them. I do it because they are made up nonsense that show the poster doesn't have anything substantively negative to say about Palin.You may not like it but this is true. I'd compare it to the adulation of Obama on the Left.
Further illustrated by your next comment:
I'd compare it to the adulation of Obama on the Left. (that statement alone shows you don't have a clue of the mass psychotic hold Obama had/has over those foolish enough to vote for him because he is black and can mesmerize those with low iq's with his phony eloquent teleprompter readings.)What about Al Queda as posted by another of your ilk above? Don't hold back.
Oh and thanks for your condescending permission to dismiss the lies about Palin.
Your arrogance and ignorance is typical of Palin haters. Keep spewing, it's good to know who the kooks are.
Made up nonsense? Here's what was said: "Quayled on SNL, the Couric interview, abrupt resignation, only two years of experience as governor."
Those are all facts. Real events. It's the record.
What about Al Queda as posted by another of your ilk above? Don't hold back.
And here's where the "cultist, messianic passion comes in..." let's focus on what I said, not what someone else said.
You've made the case better than any "ilk" could.
I've never had such allegiance to a particular political personality that I would lob insults and call fellow Freepers names if they bashed a certain political candidate. People don't excite and motivate me; ideas do.
That seems to be typical of much (not all) of the pro-Palin crowd. Maybe you're confusing that fact that people who have negative opinions towards Palin aren't insulting you personally, they simply have a different opinion of her than you do. It's very reminiscent of the Romney partisans circa '07 and '08.
That's why several people have pointed out that the Palin crowd acts cultish; they seemed to be enamored with her personally, not the ideas she stands for.
If you really cared more for the ideas that she stood for, you would withhold insults for people who condemned those ideas, not call anyone who doesn't share your adoration of Palin a kooks.
I wouldn't ever try to convince someone of the social acceptability of voting for a particular candidate, and I'm not even sure how to make such an argument.
"You should vote for Palin, it's socially acceptable!"
You may be lost. Democratic Underground has a different web address. Go there, please.
Well the MSM turned them into negatives, and you believed them.
Quayled on SNL: No you and the gullible public were Quayled by SNL. You believe Palin said she can see Alaska from her porch? I've got news for you, that was Tiny (describes the size of her talent) Fey, not Palin.
the Couric interview: She did fine, it was the MSM and people like you that spun that to make her look bad.
She answered the bait question by saying she reads all of them. What politician doesn't? Then cut away so the answer can't be expanded on. That was the MSM trying to make her look bad. Where is Couric now? Unemployed and crying in her beer. Where is Palin? More popular that ever.
abrupt resignation: You have been around FR long enough to know the story on that. But you want to spin it as a negative. Doesn't work here, maybe in your circles it does
only two years of experience as governor: Yea nobody without more years as a Governor could be president. Just ask Ex Governor Obama.
Those are all facts with out the leftist spin.
That is what I have been saying ever since pissant and you and your...yes...ilk...started with the cult, precious, worshiping etc nonsense.What about Al Queda as posted by another of your ilk above? Don't hold back.
And here's where the "cultist, messianic passion comes in..."
It's you that are the cultists!
As you so carefully pointed out about the Al Queda slam.
Your cultish messianic passionate worship of pissant is duly noted. : > )
It is a shame he said he is not going to run. I wish he would reconsider.
I hope you don’t mind. I posted Congressman West’s picture on the Rolling Thunder thread. That picture is worth a thousand words. I bet it makes heads explode. ;-)
Keep spewing, it's good to know who the kooks are.I've never had such allegiance to a particular political personality that I would lob insults and call fellow Freepers names if they bashed a certain political candidate
Me neither.
People don't excite and motivate me; ideas do.
That is where we differ. Ideas motivate me too but I am also interested in the people behind them. So people can excite and motivate me also.
Especailly if the ideas come from exciting and motivating people like Palin.
I think bashing is a lowly leftist tactic. Just presenting facts and having a reasoned debate is much better.
Posting negative about Palin which are the same as the MSM talking points, I will refute. As I did above.
Kook may be an insult, I don't know.
It means Keepers Of Odd Knowledge, which is what leftist spin is. And if anything is insulting, it is that!
It irks me to see it here at FR, so I will react.
Maybe you're confusing that fact that people who have negative opinions towards Palin aren't insulting you personally
Oh give me a break and don't start with the personal jabs. That's insulting. And ludricrous. And what a silly conclusion to come to! Oh my.
That's why several people have pointed out that the Palin crowd acts cultish; they seemed to be enamored with her personally, not the ideas she stands for.
Yawn, so you are part of the pissant precious cult calling Palin hating group? Quite a broad brush, "the Palin Crowd." Give me another break...
If you really cared more for the ideas that she stood for, you would withhold insults for people who condemned those ideas, not call anyone who doesn't share your adoration of Palin a kooks.
You've got some real problems son.
Obviously you are not familiar with my stance and activism in this area. Oh well.
Oh and congratulations on your 10 years at FR!
With that in your tagline it should keep the n00bs in line. Heh
That’s great! I “stole” the pic from someone else on FR too. I love his t-shirt too in this photo.
Your dam right it was a gotcha question!
I think they are more of the “white whine” crowd.
It’s sport for them. They won’t pass up the chance to go frothing at the mouth mad at anything Palin does.
; ~ )
Only problem is Tina is not aging well and soon no amount of makeup will allow her to look like Palin, who is quite good-looking and those looks are enduring.
LOL!!! Love it Syncro.
