Palin gives fiery speech in San Diego

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin took the stage at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina on Harbor Island just after 8 p.m. Saturday to address a large crowd of supporters and journalists who’d gathered in a ballroom to hear her introduce a senatorial candidate.

The former GOP Vice Presidential nominee and Tea Party Movement favorite was expected to introduce her fellow Alaskan, Republican Senate candidate Joe Miller, at a political fundraiser promoting former combat veterans running for U.S. Congress next month.

Palin, standing in front of a row of American flags on stage, took shots at what she called the "lamestream media," saying, that when the media "just doesn't get it and when they don't believe what perhaps your message is so they want to belittle you and mock you and treat you with much disdain, you know, I think, well they can do that to me, that's fine, because I know truth."

She went on, "You know what, you can say whatever you want to say about me but I raised a combat vet and you can't take that away from me."

The event was organized by the political action committee Combat Veterans for Congress. Tickets cost $300 and up per person, and about 500 people were expected to attend the event, titled "Patriotic Gala." Among the local congressional candidates attending were Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Alpine, and Republican congressional candidates Nick Popaditch, who is running in the 51st District, and Michael Crimmins, who is running in the 53rd district.

We’re lucky to live in a free society where one can say things in dissent of the ‘ruling class’. There are many places today where speaking ill of the ‘leader’ can get you jailed or worse.

I hope we never get to that place. As a precaution, I suggest we rid ourselves of the notion, ‘ruling class’, and keep tossing tea into the bay.

I saw this on a Prius the other day....."Not all Prius owners voted for the commie (with the Obama O filling the O in commie).

Made me smile!

"these whackos try to ruin a wonderful event by threatening her life"

Don't give them credit they don't deserve. Those wackos are threatening her life because they want her dead.

oh, I’ve wanted to “stick” one of those stickers for a long, long time.....one has to be careful...and something hard hitting but a little funny would be a nice addition....even thought about getting some Mary Kay or similar to place right over them ....at a mall or something...but one would have to be very careful..

I slammed a few of the leftist whackos at the article site. It felt GOOD!

SARAPHIM IS A GODDESS IMHO.

Anyone harming so much as a hair on her head will be hunted down and dismembered.Thats a truth the left needs to absorb, immediately.

What a bunch of liberal fascist whack jobs they are in San Diego!

this woman has done more to energize the conservative base than the entire RNC, GOP leadership combined. The Republican wins must be credited to the conservative base and Palin.

The flakes, Romney, huckster, newt and all the rest need to crawl in a hole.

Before she can announce, she'll have to wait until her new book is out and on the shelves and her 8-part Discovery/TLC show has aired. Otherwise, the Rat libs will file countless complaints with the Federal Elections Commission demanding investigations to sabotage both distribution of both book and show. They did it to Fred Thompson and also Arnold Schwarzenegger---remember when he was running in the recall election you couldn't even find one of his old Conan movies on anywhere, not until after he was elected.

Moreover, running for President after announcing her candidacy will be a full-time job, and will result in a diminishment of income, and so I'm sure she will want to make sure that she has enough in the bank to carry her through 2012 and take care of her family while she is campaigning coast-to-coast (which is a LONG way from Alaska---Seattle being the half-way point by air!)

I forgot so went back. There are some good posts, one exceptional and you do not have to log in to mark which ones you like. If it is a totally lib newspaper (Like the Toronto Star) I sign up and post. Most people read/listen to only MSM and need to hear the other side. It’s fun and I do it to vent and lower the blood pressure.

I think the Spartan woman comment is apt. Sarah would also have thrived going across the Continent in a covered wagon. She has the strength of a pioneer woman transported into the 21st century.

Obama stickers ... I used to see them all the time here, now, I see them once in a while, not as often as before ...

I heard somewhere that "Cash for Clunkers" took 97% of the Obama bumper stickers off the road.

Subarus too tend to sport Obama stickers!

I know if I see a Prius or Subaru that I’m bound to find Obama 2008/those progressive Co-Existence stickers. 7 out of 10 times I am right it seems! LOL

They got their orders from the plantation’s slave master himself.

Useful morons will do whatever they are told to do.

I am beginning to think that when Obama and Biden are in a private meeting Biden may be the smartest guy in the room!
