ON the other hand, don’t we continually bring up his “57 states” quote, and his “muslim faith” quote, even though we know they were both gaffes?
It’s absurd for a major news outlet not to delve into the actual facts of a matter; but it would be silly to believe Palin’s critics won’t quote this for the next two years, just as we will quote Obama’s gaffes until he’s no longer President.
I'd let the 57 states thing go, if it were not for there being 57 muslim states in the world. Nope, too weird to let this one go like that.
Different kind of gaffe as I see it, I've been given to understand that there are 57 states. Muslim states. And that ties into the belief that he is muslim
We don't know those were gaffes, both of them fit a reality about the man you are defending while attacking Palin.
The 60 states thing was never corrected or explained, and it fits with things like him thinking that he was born because of, and after the 1965 Selma March. Obama seems truly ignorant of American history and other facts, Palin does not.
The Muslim statement does not fall into the category of simple gaffe either, for a person that was a Muslim, and may still be.
If only conservatives could get the support that you lavish on liberals.
I agree, "57 states" was a gaffe. But I do not think the "muslim faith" was a gaffe. Something he perhaps wishes he had never said maybe.
The difference is that we quote it, but don’t really believe that he doesn’t know the real number of states. The left is quoting this in the real belief that Sarah Palin does not know the difference between North and South Korea.
57 states might have been a gaffe, but trust me, the "muslim faith" quote was no gaffe.
The Muslims Faith comment isn’t a mistake. He was born Muslim and raised Muslim for years, before becoming a Christian at that Black Supremacist Church. It was a Freudian slip.
