SOA: “We must accept the Enemy within our ranks. for diversity,
even as they slaughter our troops. However, that only extends to Islamic murderers.
Such diversity inclusion would never extend to a Republican or conservative Governor.”
“pose for photos, or personalize notes in the books she signs.”
Why not???!!??
Political speech making on Federal installations is and has been a violation of Federal Regulations. The president can make information presentations on a military base but can not give a “Vote for -—” presentation.
This action is coming directly from the White House. Lars Larson, conservative radio host was to broadcast from the marine base where his son was graduating from until the 0 administration stopped it. The broadcasting event had been planned for months until the 0’s heard about it.
From obama to Casey to Gov. Palin’s ear. What insanity.

OFF WITH THE ARMY'S HEAD!
Freedoms the very same Army fought for,
they then deny to their own.
Strange world.
Too damn PC for me.

FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Hundreds of people are lined up at an Army base in North Carolina where former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is signing books.
Palin arrived a little after 11 a.m. Monday, waved and went inside the store where she quickly started signing copies of her new memoir. She did not make any statement.
An Army spokesmen says Palin will not make a speech, pose for photos, or personalize notes in the books she signs at the on-post store. Officials estimated as many as 1,500 waited for her arrival. About a dozen people camped out.

Political correctness will be the downfall of this country.
Gotta laugh at the AP for including a statement from some “spokesman” at Fort Bragg who claimed sales of Palin’s book were “weak” so far despite 1500 people waiting for her to sin her book.
“Army officials say Palin will not make a speech, pose for photos,
or personalize notes in the books she signs.”
Palin should tell them to go pound sand.
And set up a large tent on someone’s private property near the base.
(if available).
Otherwise, say that the muzzling by the Army Brass (probably per
their Commander-In-Chief) is just unacceptable.
Is the Army afraid of appearances of grandstanding against Obama or is it protocol? Which is it? Is limited news coverage based on the rules or not? If not, why did they try to limit it in the first place? If it is, why drop the restrictions? No mention in the article of rules that say a former governor/political candidate can't make a speech, pose for pics, etc. What about a simple speech of support and gratitude to the military as opposed to a "political" speech. Everybody knows that any speech given by Sarah would be met with enthusiasm that would humiliate the Obama administration.
Find a book store close to the base and hold a rally there.
Democrats - the party that makes sure not to count the troops votes.
Since there is no active, ongoing political campaign, I can think of no reason to deny Palin the opportunity to speak on a military installation. If it is a regulation in North Carolina, it would also be a regulation at Wainwright and Richardson in Alaska.
When we say “free speech”, we don’t mean for those who disagree.
Now pay your taxes and have a nice day. :)
This perfectly illustrates the predicament the Armed Forces are in today.
They are dealing with a moody man-child as CIC and are afraid of pissing him off. Lives hang in the balance.
What a train wreck.
Yeah, this order didn’t come from “commander zero”./s
How do they know her speech wouldn't be all about building morale and giving appreciation to all those in uniform who have sacrificed for the American people?
Then again, even that would make the Bill Ayer’s friend and follower look bad with the Troops who ALREADY have full knowledge that he could give a rat's behind about them.
