How is Sarah Palin Paying for Road Trip? Hmmmmm?
ABC News ^ | 06.01.11 | Sheila Marikar

Posted on 06/01/2011 10:09:50 AM PDT by rface

"How am I paying for it? SarahPAC," she said, adding that she's traveling in "our own personal motor home that we've had in Alaska."

Palin didn't answer when asked how long she's owned the bus that's adorned with the Constitution and a larger-than-life version of her signature. When asked, twice, how much her "One Nation Tour" has cost four days into the trip, she got visibly irritated.

"Check SarahPAC.com," she said. "I don't know why in the world you would ask a question like that. I'm just thinking about America and our foundations and our freedoms and our opportunities. Why would you ask something ..."

ABC News pointed out that she often talks about the economy and how much money we're spending.

"What does our economy have to do with how much we're -- I'm not asking you to pay for a penny of this trip," she said.

Cue the national anthem: the conversation was cut short when a group of school children visiting the monument launched into "The Star Spangled Banner."

SaraPAC.com does not currently offer any information about how much money has been spent on the tour. It does, however, feature a big green "Donate" button, inviting visitors to help fund Palin's trip across the nation.

donate????? => Adverisements on sites like Drudgereport.com also encourage Palin fans to donate.

Number one,the reporter’s use of words in the article is interesting:

“the bus that’s ADORNED with the Constitution and a larger-than-life version of her signature”
Adorned— this is laden with meanings of “trappings” and “excess” (you know, like Sarah’s wardrobe during 2008- which wasn’t bought by her).. to continue the imagery of this.
Second, it is NOT the Constitution— you cannot read it. It says “We the People”...

“ABC News pointed out..”

ABC didn’t point out anything, this REPORTER did. The “royal we” approach to the reporter’s person... what crap and arrogance.

“Cue the national anthem: the conversation was cut short when a group of school children visiting the monument launched into “The Star Spangled Banner.”

Cue “THE” national anthem?.. is this reporter an American Citizen.... if so they would write “OUR” national anthem. And at any rate, schoolchildren were not observed to have been “cued” by anyone other than their parents.

Will look into exactly whom this reporter is, besides covering “celebrities and gossip”. Waste of time.

Go Sarah! It’s none of their business how Sarah pays for her own personal vacation.

You just convicted her, if she is using PAC money.

They must have driven it down the Alaska Highway. I doubt if Obama sent a C5A to bring it.

“The MSM is going beserk trying to smear Palin-their hatred is pathological.”

Correct, but you should have added that their continuous distortion/lies also fall in that category.

Don’t get defensive...get sarcastic!

Palin: “I have a billionaire foreign national friend who has arranged for people in third-world countries to receive $200 gift-cards. These folks are all rounded-up in a telephone bank room, fed a very nourishing meal (the men get wine, beer and vodka) and asked to “donate” $175 of the card to my “vacation”. They keep the rest. My gift-card processing center does not require any ID for donations under $200. All really simple and above board.”

The LSM would blow a gasket.

Charlie Cook: “She’s making more money now than God ever intended her to make”

And Charlie Cook has a book from God, listing how much Bill Gates, Oprah, Charlie Sheen, Lady Gaga, the Google crew, etc are "supposed to make." I hope this quote hangs over his head forever!

The left is going to be a bit upset with him for letting this “belief cat” out of the bag.

They cannot attain their goals if people understand what they really believe.

I don’t blame her for being irritated either, but I want her to keep her cool and not publicly display any frustration with the press. Thus far, she’s playing them like a fiddle. If they catch her off balance for one minute, it’ll be the top news story and her opponents will use it in a campaign ad. She has to be on her game at all times in front of those vultures. I know she can do it.

Google Sheila and you will see that in addition to ABC, she reports for the Huffy Posthole. No bias there, move along.

Also, I tried to find any ABCrapmedia report that said Weiner the weenie was “irritated” by questions to him. Still looking but suspect it ain’t there.

IBTZ.

Later.

People of the Left reveal their condescension and contempt for the non-”elite” constantly. Chris Matthews is a prime example of this bigoted perspective. He openly sneers at just about every person born below the Mason-Dixon line.

It's a good thing that he has only about three viewers to his rantings. He is a snob with nothing to be snobbish about.

That cost less than Zero bringing his entire entourage to SPAIN and reserving an ENTIRE FLOOR.
Cost less than Zero’s multiple vacations as well.
And at least that was money spent on the U.S. itself instead of some sleazy dictatorship like.. Hugo Chavez.
Got anything else?
