Again.
Palin is always there to help out wounded veterans.
Cohen claimed to be a Wounded Warrior and Palin was happy to help.
Cohen does this stuff for comedy and profit because there is nothing funnier than a wounded veteran.

Sarah Palin is calling on Sacha Baron Cohen to donate all the profits from his upcoming Showtime series to military veterans’ groups after saying she was duped into an interview with the comedian when he pretended to be a wounded warrior.
The Daily Mail reports that the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee said she unknowingly participated in an interview for what turned out to be Cohen’s just-announced satirical series, “Who is America?”
“This ‘legit opportunity’ to honor American Vets and contribute to a ‘legit Showtime historical documentary’ was requested of me via a speakers bureau,” Palin said.
Palin, 54, says she traveled to Washington, D.C., to speak with Cohen, who she claims “had heavily disguised himself as a disabled US Veteran, fake wheelchair and all.”
The "Borat" star is known for disguising himself to conduct interviews with unsuspecting subjects.
“Out of respect for what I was led to believe would be a thoughtful discussion with someone who had served in uniform, I sat through a long ‘interview’ full of Hollywoodism’s disrespect and sarcasm — but finally had enough and literally, physically removed my mic and walked out, much to Cohen’s chagrin,” Palin said.
“The disrespect of our U.S. military and middle-class Americans via Cohen’s foreign commentaries under the guise of interview questions was perverse,” she added.
The former Alaska governor said Cohen, whom she dubbed “shallow Sacha boy,” should go ahead and air the footage.
“Experience tells us it will be heavily edited, not pretty, and intended to humiliate,” Palin said.
She then extended a “challenge” to Cohen, CBS and Showtime: “Donate all proceeds to a charitable group that actually respects and supports American Vets.”
“Mock politicians and innocent public personalities all you want, if that lets you sleep at night, but HOW DARE YOU mock those who have fought and served our country,” Palin said.
ETC...
You can be a disabled veteran without any awards, Case in point: My foster brother received 60% disability rating and benefits and a disabled license plate. He wrecked his motorcycle on base and received ‘service connection’ for his injuries. Sometimes things just aren’t always as they outwardly appear.
According to Palin, he heavily disguised himself as a Wounded Warrior, wheelchair, uniform etc.
You can count on pictures of him coming out.
Yes, I only watched about 30 seconds of his stuff before I was tired of it.
As he's getting thrown out of Rooney's office: "Is it because I is black?" LMAO!
SBC = JERK
I'm getting tired of a Republican answering anything other than, 'no comment' when a mic is shoved in their face.
They're not interviews. They're hit pieces.
Republicans should boycott MSM interviews.
And in the case of SBC, don't agree to any interview until you know and see who is interviewing you.
Fail to feel sorry for people duped like this. They so desperately want to be in front of a camera. Maybe do some background before doing interviews.
An act funny enough to make an SNL skit but stretched into a movie.
Like most of Will Farrell's stuff.
Stocks and flogging
It drives me nuts the way Republicans can't say no or no comment when a camera is in their face.
'I have no comment right now'.
How difficult is that?
And don't agree to an interview until you know who is interviewing you.
Even then, know the interview is a trap.
I agree with Piper. Never thought he was funny.
Correct me, but Christians are only forbidden from suing other Christians; I’d sue the heck out of Cohen if I were Palin.
Borat up to no good again.
there are sevral people who have been fired because they were tricked into interviewing him or use there organization in a way that makes the group look bad and unprofessional.
Again.

Thurman needs to be fired For Stolen Honor!
I’ve never even heard of that piece of garbage and I hate him! LOL! Of course, he won’t be fired and he won’t donate to a charity for wounded warriors. Nasty waste of oxygen!
A dog turd.
Seriously, do Sarah’s people do any research? Does Sarah do any research?
Sorry- but Sarah got punked and it’s her own fault.
Right. I’m sure he used his own name, to score this stolen valor interview. /s
Your wikichit is worthless and irrelevant.
