Such a ridiculous non issue, a total MSM creation. And besides, Sarah is right.

Some parts ARE more American than others. Why do the ‘RATS have a problem with this? They hate this country anyway. I guess the truth hurts those commie pigs.

Anyone who likes her agrees with her, and anyone who hates her feels offended. So what?

Throw a rock into a pack of wild dogs, and the one who yelps is the one who got hit. With that comment, Sarah’s aim was perfect!

I agree. I thought Tina Fey's spoof on SNL actually summed it up pretty well. We're not gonna carry the anti-American states of NY, MA, OR, CA and IL, etc, so who cares if those people were offended?

I think Tina Fey said it best on SNL. “Then also too you have states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida which could be real, real anti-American, or real, real pro-American, and it’s up to them.”

Sarah, make sure your right then GIVE ‘EM HELL!

Has Obama and his campaign apologized for calling everybody who criticizes him a racist?

How about describing rural and conservative Americans “bitter” who therefore cling to their guns and religion?

The list of divisive, offensive language used by Obama and his campaign to describe anybody who isn’t enthusiastic about his ascension to the White House is quite long and usually boils down to describing his opponents as uncouth, unwashed, violent, racist, and stupid. But oh well, who’s counting anyway? /sarc

Because they can’t stand the truth, that’s why.

It’s not rocket science to know they’re less patriotic, and less “American proud” less religious, less hardworking, more discriminatory, and lastly, hypocritical.

The truth kills them, that’s why they lash out. It hits right on target.

” I think Tina Fey said it best on SNL. “Then also too you have states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida which could be real, real anti-American, or real, real pro-American, and it’s up to them.” ... you forgot the wink at the end when she said “ It’s up to them “ ... as in ? “ you got that Oh, Pa, FL “
