Wow. Pretty amazing for someone who so frequently ripped on Obama for being an "elitist".
I mean, in reality it's not that big of a deal, but it is pretty blatant hypocrisy.

Palin dines with Franklin and Billy Graham

Former governor of Alaska and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin arrives at the Asheville, N.C. airport on Sunday afternoon Nov. 22, 2009, for a visit with the Graham family. At left is Franklin Graham, who was there to meet her at the airport.
Sarah Palin, who will sign books today at Fort Bragg, made a stopover in Montreat on Sunday to have dinner with 91-year-old Billy Graham and his son, Franklin Graham, who issued the invitation.
"He just saw that she was going to be in the area and he said to come by," said Jeremy Blume, a spokesman for Franklin Graham.
Former Alaska Gov. Palin, who was the Republican vice presidential nominee in 2008, was met at the Asheville airport by Franklin Graham Sunday afternoon. Then, after meeting with some fans, Palin headed for Billy Graham's mountaintop home in Montreat for dinner.
The Charlotte-born evangelist had never met Palin, who is now on a national book tour promoting her new memoir, "Going Rogue: An American Life." But Graham's oldest daughter, Gigi, told the Observer last year that he commented to her that Palin, whom he watched on TV during the election campaign, was "mighty pretty."
Franklin Graham got to know Palin early this year in Alaska. She accompanied him as Samaritan's Purse, a Boone-based international relief agency he heads, delivered 44,000 pounds of groceries to Eskimo families in villages along the frozen Yukon River who had been hit by a harsh winter.
In financial disclosure documents filed this year, Palin reported that Samaritan's Purse paid $1,664 for her airfare to and from the remote villages.
Samaritan's Purse has an office in Alaska, and Franklin Graham owns a cabin in the state. Graham also leads the Charlotte-based Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, which his father founded decades ago.
Asheville is also the home of the World, a conservative evangelical Christian magazine whose regular writers includes Lynn Vincent, Palin's ghostwriter on "Going Rogue," which is already a best seller.
Besides preaching to crowds all over the globe, Billy Graham acted as a pastor to several U.S. presidents. He's shied away from official endorsements over the years, but politicians have flocked to him - and he to them - for public seals of approval. Though a longtime registered Democrat, Graham's closest political friendships have been with Republicans such as Richard Nixon and George H.W. Bush.
Last year, during the presidential election campaign, Sen. John McCain, the GOP presidential nominee who picked Palin as his running mate, made a courtesy call on the elderly Graham. Democrat Barack Obama had scheduled a meeting with Graham during a stop in nearby Asheville, but Graham, who has his good days and bad days, was not up to a visit at the time.
Palin, who is popular with many conservatives, is widely regarded as a possible contender for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.
IK, another story being twisted to make someone look bad.
Havock, you should be ashamed of yourself.
Your ass is your mouth.Quote:

meh she isnt a politician at least not right now. its not an election although people seem to see this as her true coming out party free from the veil the media placed on her blabla.
I'm so tired of reading about this woman. Fucking obsession.

So the ignorant, lying pitbull bitch from the Alaskan outback is no longer a member of her Real America, but now, like all the other right-wing, slimey demagogues and hate-filled, intolerant "pastors", a member of the super-wealthy elite. :lol
And still the ignorant red-staters and tea-bagging losers buy her snake oil.
this story is symptomatic of today's conservatives. They moan and groan about trivial matters for which I think is a dangerous game. Dangerous? This story is a perfect illustration of getting burned. The bain dead righties on this board are have all feigned outrage at trivial ssues about Obama, Palin included, and now get burned because of it. Most of the dead enders are hyocrites and this is YET another example of it..
She's flying into SLC to sign her ghostwriter's book at my local Costco. To think that my absolute favorite retail outlet will be tainted. By that. Ugh. :depressed
I just hope she has a shitty mechanic.
This does surprise me my friends. I was sure she'd be putting to use her glorious Angel Wings. God Bless xoxoxoxo
It's funny, isn't it.Quote:

Please, Please, PLEASE! run her and Beck or Limbaugh or ... :lol Dobbs! in 2012 (or any other year)
About as important as ipods and a traditional Japanese greeting.Quote:
