(CNN) -- Sarah Palin is mixing it up with potential rival Rick Santorum, suggesting the former Pennsylvania senator and presidential hopeful is a “knuckle-dragging Neanderthal.

What she said was “I’ll let Rick’s wife call him a knuckle dragging .....
video should be all over the place.

[JaguarXKE]

Actually she said (on Hannity) “I’m not going to call him a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal.”. Typical out of context half truth by the media.

[mojitojoe]

Agree! Santorum’s remark was snotty, he knows it and made a very feeble attempt to back out. Sarah didn’t buy it and neither did I.

[JaguarXKE]

The deranged left has no sense of humor. Their fear of her is palpable!

[MEGoody]

It was on Hannity last night, she sure did, saw it myself.

The clip I saw, Palin said "I'm not going to call him a knuckle dragging neanderthal. I'll let his wife do that."

[Clyde5445]

You caught the similarities too I see.

Sarah’s inner Reagan is coming out.

[NFHale]

Bullsh*t detector is up and active...sounds like disinformatziya from the apparatchniks in the media.

Trying to start a flame war between Republicans?

[t-dude]

EVERY TIME PALIN SAYS 'HI' TO THE MAILMAN DOES NOT HAVE TO BE BREAKING NEWS. CAN'T YOU PEOPLE JUST HAVE WORSHIP SERVICES TWICE A WEEK LIKE MOST RELIGIONS?

We'd be happy to, if they would stop lying about her.

When they lie about her they are lying about us; they hate us for our Christianity and our pro-life views and our limited government, low tax conservatism.

It's like this:

Don't start none
won't be none

Does that make you feel better.

If not, I suggest you don't click on the Palin threads, as they appear to upset you. And honestly, if your psyche is that fragile I have real concerns about your health.

[libbylu]

lololol Just stay away. It’s not so hard. I see her imperfections but she is still the leader of the pack. She has more balls than your average 1000 male GOP.

[dinoparty]

I’m pulling for her too. Unfortunately people like you don’t help her cause.

[Grampa Dave]

Excellent! If you don't mind I will use this whenever we have a Hate Palin rant posing as news posted on Free Republic.

My wife, many relatives our age and many younger relatives have been Palin fans since day one.

We still are Palin fans, but we will vote and $upport Sarah because of the obvious pain and insanity she inflicts on the lefties of America and the world. If the insane lefties hate Sarah so much, she has to be the Right choice for us. We are old enough to remember how the left hated and demonized Ronald Reagan 365/24/7, before his presidency, during his presidency and afterwards. Their hatred of Reagan made the lefties lamer and ineffective.

[P-Marlowe]

Don't know the context...can anyone illuminate?

There are a lot of Palin Hoaxes being bandied about. This is most likely one of them.

[DoughtyOne]

She was a little tweaked by some of the things he had said, but she didn’t go over the top. At one or more points Hannity explained what Santorum had actually stated, and she said something to the effect, she understood and wasn’t as bothered by it.

By the end she didn’t seem overly miffed at Santorum. I don’t think Santorum meant to tweak her, and she didn’t seem to be tweaked by the end of the interview.

Seems like the media has determined it’s a good time to splash as much mud on Palin as they can. The sad thing is, the media players aren’t competent enough to have half a clue what is important and what isn’t at this point in our nation’s history.

A good competent critical media can be good. Wish we had one.

[xsmommy]

a distinction without a difference IMO. i don’t fault her for saying it, but to deny she said it on that basis seems lame.

[Bigtigermike]

It was a joke.......the media is taken it out of context as usual.....people on our side need to learn to not accept things the media put out as facts, usually it’s half-truths or outright lies!

[NFHale]

“... good competent critical media can be good. Wish we had one...”

One wonders if we ever really did... Not in my lifetime, for sure...

[excopconservative]

Just another enemedia manufactured catfight which doesn’t exist . . . except in their dreams.

---

They will do or say anything to drive a wedge between Palin and any portion of her constituency and any of the other Republican candidates.

[gimme1ibertee]

Sarah needs to act more like a secretary, getting Rick his coffee?

LMAO!!! That is funny!! More like she'll be eating his lunch than fetching his coffee...

[Pan_Yan]

No.

[DoughtyOne]

Well we had Cronkite and the fawning “Camelot” enablers, so I’m leaning in your direction.

FoxNews doesn’t get it right, but at least it’s a step in the right direction. Imagine what the left would term a news group that actually had a clue what Conservatism actually was.
