All About McCain

With all the criticism Palin has gotten from the press, I believe this may be the first time she's said anything about it....and that's only if I accept that's what she was referring to. You'll note I haven't been on here defending Palin at all....I just happen to think this was a reference to the dirt dug up on Joe the Plumber. I'm most certainly not trying to dodge the subject. Because I think that's what she referring to, I don't know how that's changing the subject. Yes, you certainly admitted it was a stupid thing for Obama to say, and I have admitted that Joe the Plumber is choosing now to be in the spotlight....I just happen to think that's what she was referring to, so I just tried to explain why I think it's a problem. If Palin was suggesting that media criticsm of what she says is suppression of free speech, then that's stupid.

Does that do it for you Flippy?

As far as Michelle Obama needing to be investigated.....I don't think she does per se, I was simply making reference to when Obama told the media to "leave my wife alone" and they did. She's certainly campaigning at least as much as Joe the Plumber.

I'm curious, and I honestly don't know, so this isn't meant to be rhetorical....has Palin been telling the media to stop criticizing her? I know she went on SNL, which has been ripping her in their skits, so that doesn't really seem like telling them to stop...it seems like engaging them.

I'm not sure if we're both looking at the same quote. It seems really blatant to me, and I don't know how you were able to read it the way you did. But, it doesn't sounds like we disagree in principle about the various topics raised in this particular sidebar.
