Allies of former prime minister regard darling of Tea Party movement as a frivolous figure unworthy of an audience
Sarah Palin wants to show to the Republican right that she is the true keeper of the Ronald Reagan flame by meeting the late president's closest ally on the world stage.

From my brief experience, Thatcher isn't so universally admired in the UK either.
That's certainly true. I have family members there that still blame Thatcher for everything.
When you point out that she left 20 years ago and was replaced by a Labour govt., and why didn't they fix things? You get spluttering and “it takes time to change” noise...:^)
It's the usual problem of trying to get logic from a liberal.

Margaret Thatcher is near death, and is in no condition to see anyone. For God’s sake, when will FR readers learn that the Guardian (the old Trotskyite and new Progressive rag) is not worth reading or posting?

Apparently neither is Thatcher. Read the comments following the article.

What a load of rubbish.
Thatcher is very unwell and many days is unable to recognizes her family members and staff. She isn’t seeing visitors of any kind.

I have a very strong feeling Thatcher herself will be furious when she reads this.

From the article:
Her allies believe that Palin is a frivolous figure who is unworthy of an audience with the Iron Lady. This is what one ally tells me: Lady Thatcher will not be seeing Sarah Palin. That would be belittling for Margaret. Sarah Palin is nuts. Thatcher will show the level she punches at when she attends the unveiling of a statue of Ronald Reagan It appears that the alleged "allies" of Margret Thatcher have not yet matured beyond the level of middle school.

THIS TITLE IS A LIE
The article itself says NOTHING of the sort

They only know what the US media has conveyed, slanted Tina Fey nonsense.

I am not a supporter of Sarah Palin but the more nasty articles I see about her the more I like her. They are pushing me into her camp.
Why is the MSM so afraid of her? Why do they lie and distort so?

Thatcher did not say that. One of her aids did.

Madam Thatcher is indeed in very bad health and most likely unaware that Palin would like to meet her........She's a class lady who if she was in good health would never turn down a request like that.
Blame her handlers for the allegecd rebuff, not Madam Thatcher. May God watch over her........

My friend in the UK said that Sarah belongs in an insane asylum. I asked for one reason why. Never heard another word about it. I assume the reaction was any American supporting Sarah belongs in the same asylum.

I have it on the authority of close allies of Tony Blair that the Guardian's top managers and editors are all violent pedophiles who engage in anal sex with underage chimpanzees.
What, you don't believe it? Why it's right here in my post on the Internet. What more proof would you need? OK, here's some additional proof: I have Tony Blair's personal web site in my browser's favorites list. It's http://www.tonyblairoffice.org/. You can check it out for yourselves.
See? It is obviously true. And, unlike British newspapers and their Commie "journalists", I have no agenda whatsoever. So you can believe everything that I write.

Well, the way GB is going, it will be a muslim nation by the time Sarah wins in 2012 anyway...spending all their money to fight "global warming".
Thatcher is beginning to sound like a stuffed shirt.
But, Sarah probably won't lose a lot of sleep over it.
