It is sometimes necessary to drop a matter because the battle will accomplish nothing and may cause much more damage than the original assertion. That is the central issue of the advice Palin was given. She was also informed that her explanation was disparate with public facts.
If you don't grasp these issues, particularly the first one, it would suggest you may not be capable of participating in a reasoned discussion of the topic.
From the top:
1. So acquiescing is "sound advice"? Just sucking it up and ignoring being misrepresented and/or smeared is "sound advice"?
2. Please expound on what "judgment problems" you believe she has. Sounds to me that she's a stickler for the truth. A fine trait I'd say.
490 states: "I like Palin, but I'm on the fence as far as a potus run and this article is not helping me out (yes, I know that's the point, thanks) but if the write up is accurate, that doesn't matter to me."
"I like Palin, but..."
This gets tiresome.
