She didn’t say the issue was legitimate.

I am going by her radio interview: http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1209/Palin_Obama_birth_certificate_a_fair_question.html
Speaking to the conservative talker Rusty Humphries today, Sarah Palin left the door open to speculation about President Obama's birth certificate.

"Would you make the birth certificate an issue if you ran?" she was asked (around 9 minutes into the video above).

"I think the public rightfully is still making it an issue. I don't have a problem with that. I don't know if I would have to bother to make it an issue, because I think that members of the electorate still want answers," she replied.

"Do you think it's a fair question to be looking at?" Humphries persisted.

"I think it's a fair question, just like I think past association and past voting records -- all of that is fair game," Palin said. "The McCain-Palin campaign didn't do a good enough job in that area."

I really think you ought to take her at her word. The Photoshop work only portrays what she said in her interview. I did not separate Sarah Palin from the "electorate" because she IS a part of the electorate now and as long as she is a US citizen!!

I would, except that the interview raised questions, and Palin’s facebook entry was after the interview, and meant t o clarify what she said — explaining the distinction about “righfully making an issue” vs “it’s the right issue to make”.

If not for her facebok entry, I’d agree with you, but I feel people who make statements on live radio shows prompted by questions have a right to clarify their remarks if they find them being misinterpreted.
