US conservative standard bearer Sarah Palin has accused critics of unfairly singling her out, after a slip of the tongue rekindled questions about her credibility. After mistakenly urging radio listeners to "stand with our North Korean allies," the Alaskan, who looks increasingly likely to run for the White House in 2012, protested that President Barack Obama had made similar slips and not been singled out.
"They couldn't resist the temptation to turn a simple one word slip-of-the-tongue of mine into a major political headline," Palin wrote on her Facebook page late Thursday.
The former governor pointed to instances in which Obama had mistakenly said there were 57 US states, instead of 50, and claimed the country was founded 20 centuries ago -- without, she said, stirring up the same kind of criticism.

Palin was particularly criticized as a vice presidential candidate at the last election in 2008 for her alleged lack of knowledge on key foreign policy issues.
In the Facebook posting Palin tried to beef up her foreign policy credentials, claiming she was often "ahead of the curve" on issues relating to the Korean peninsula.
"The one word slip occurred yesterday during one of my seven back-to-back interviews wherein I was privileged to speak to the American public about the important, world-changing issues before us."
"I corrected myself seconds after my slip-of-the-tongue, and... made it abundantly clear that pressure should be put on China to restrict energy exports to the North Korean regime."

She really put the pucker to the liberal MSM. She nailed them.
Thanks MSM, I didn’t even know Palin had talked about the NK issue, until this baloney excerpt.
Seconds before Palin had gotten it right with NK, and seconds after her NK misquote she corrected her mistake, with help from the interviewer.
SO.....even after Palin’s mistake, the NK issue is growing more ugly, with or without Palin’s typo error.
After all, she didn’t say it was time to stop the rising of the Seas or anything ridiculous.
MSM BIAS exposed again.
I can’t wait her to run if for no other reason than to see her ‘excellently’ and ‘without comparison’ throw things back in the media’s and her critic’s faces!

I’m most impressed by her ability to fight back. Sarah, you go girl! Keep up our battle! It’s not necessarily an attack on you, it’s on all of us ordinary Americans. We love your message. Keep it up. God gave you this voice, use it for good.
(I have 3 daughters, my eldest is Sarah)
I remember when Barry said 10,000 people died in the Greensburg Kansas tornado. Less than 10 died.
Yeah her Tweet is a really side splitter. I read this and ROFLMAOed!
“My fellow Americans in all 57 states, the time has changed for come. With our country founded more than 20 centuries ago, we have much to celebrate – from the FBI’s 100 days to the reforms that bring greater inefficiencies to our health care system. We know that countries like Europe are willing to stand with us in our fight to halt the rise of privacy, and Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s. And let’s face it, everybody knows that it makes no sense that you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma and they end up taking up a hospital bed. It costs, when, if you, they just gave, you gave them treatment early, and they got some treatment, and ah, a breathalyzer, or an inhalator. I mean, not a breathalyzer, ah, I don’t know what the term is in Austrian for that…”
You have gotta love a politician with that much spunk.
After 8 years of watching Bush never respond to the hammering he took during his presidency, I’m really glad to see potential candidate Palin fighting back against these Leftist propagandists who have the audacity to call themselves journalists.
Kansas, one of our finest of the 57 states.
Too bad she had to take time away from her family on Thanksgiving to post it. It would be nice if there was one day that she didn’t need to do something like that.
Maybe Christmas.
“My Muslim faith”, oops, who said that? The hypocrisy from the left and the media is not dripping, it’s flowing, and so blatant, regular Americans are getting it. The left is in overdrive to ‘convince’ us of their all lib all the time crap.
We’re not buying, they’re selling harder, we’re still not buying. They’ve hit the wall, we’re still not buying. Sucks to be a lib. We’re still not buying.
NOTHING THEY ARE DOING IS CONVINCING AMERICANS THE LEFT IS GOOD FOR AMERICA. THEY ARE FINISHED, THEY KNOW IT, AND REFUSE TO ACCEPT IT. THEY ARE LASHING OUT, THEIR LAST GRASP IS FAILING, FALLING APART, AND THEY ARE SINKING WITH THE COMMIE SHIP.
We just have to be patient for a year or two longer until this nightmare is over.
Yup - long overdue.
It is crystal clear they are afraid of her. That is why the leftist main stream media are trying to do a Dan Quayle on her.
they succeeded with Quayle because no one in the Republican establishment would stand up for him.
I think Palin is smart enough to beat them tho.
I have to admit, that is priceless.
A huge slap at the media...and The Won.
I saw a clip of an interview that Barry said he doesn’t think about Palin.
Sure you don’t, Barry, sure you don’t. Just keep telling yourself that.
If nothing else, maybe Sarah will lend others the courage to speak out.
Yet they never question Barry’s credibility. Barry could get his geography wrong, time and time again, yet they never question is intelligence
Don’t forget BO thanked HIMSELF at a breakfast when his prompter told him to. (LOL, I think...) Bob
Thats during the meeting with Ireland PM? I wish there was an audio of it. The media was there, surely, someone got clips of it. I only heard it mentioned by Rush, but without actual audio, its not as hard hitting
Yes, Rush played the audio many months ago on his show, so it does exist! Ha ha! Bob
