Sarah Palin Thinks the Media is Breaking the First Amendment

Apparently calling her out for associating Obama with terrorists is violating the First Amendment.

Huh?

Glenn Greenwald on Salon had this to say:

"This is actually so dumb that it hurts... The First Amendment is actually not that complicated. It can be read from start to finish in about 10 seconds. It bars the Government from abridging free speech rights. It doesn’t have anything to do with whether you’re free to say things without being criticized, or whether you can comment on blogs without being edited...

If anything, Palin has this exactly backwards, since one thing that the First Amendment does actually guarantee is a free press. Thus, when the press criticizes a political candidate and a Governor such as Palin, that is a classic example of First Amendment rights being exercised, not abridged."

Maybe the MSM needs to do an expose of all the anti-American Senators and Congresspeople. Hmm? That sound like a plan? Get some reporters together and investigate our elected officials in D.C. to find out which ones are anti-American? A scathing expose of all those who hate America? Who just happen to run for national political office because they hate the country so much?

First amendment was, first and foremost, written to allow the media access to their elected officials. If Miss Palin would like to re-write the Bill of Rights to serve a political purpose, then -- well she's overdue for a crash course in modern civics.

Guess what? We don't have to listen to any more of her idiocy!

Here's to her disappearing off the political map!

WOOOHOO!

Oh, and as for Joe the Plumber... this is all I have to say to Joe the Plumber: fuck you.
