ABC reported today that Sarah Palin stated during an interview on a conservative radio program that her First Amendment rights may be violated because of the "attacks" on her from the "mainstream media."
Really, it's a jaw dropper. Here is an excerpt from the above referenced piece on it from the Huffington Report:
Palin told WMAL-AM that her criticism of Obama's associations, like those with 1960s radical Bill Ayers and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, should not be considered negative attacks. Rather, for reporters or columnists to suggest that it is going negative may constitute an attack that threatens a candidate's free speech rights under the Constitution, Palin said.
"If [the media] convince enough voters that that is negative campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations," Palin told host Chris Plante, "then I don't know what the future of our country would be in terms of First Amendment rights and our ability to ask questions without fear of attacks by the mainstream media."
Unbelievable. Fill in your own response here. I have too many of them to even start.
