Declaring that she was honored and proud to run with him, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin pushed back hard Wednesday against a report that she had disrespected Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) by blacking out his name on a sun visor she wore on vacation.
The website TMZ accused Palin of a frontal attack on Sen. John McCain during a Hawaii vacation this week: Sarah chose to wear a visor from her campaign -- a visor that was emblazoned with the former presidential candidate's name ... that is, until Palin redacted McCain's name with a black marker.
But Palin said in a statement to POLITICO that she was just trying to be incognito -- to go unrecognized and shield her children and husband, Todd, from paparazzi.
The hotel where she was staying had to chase away five photographers, a friend said.
Palin said in the statement to POLITICO: I am so sorry if people took this silly incident the wrong way. I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection. As everyone knows, I was honored and proud to run with him. And Todd and I were with him in D.C. just a week ago. So much for trying to be incognito."
The Palins were taking a break from a three-and-a-half-week book tour for her million-copy-selling memoir, Going Rogue: An American Life. Palin has signed more than 59,000 books -- an average of 1,750 per stop -- and has traveled more than 19,000 miles by plane and bus. She has spent 115 hours -- or 4.8 days -- signing books in 33 cities in 25 states. Her stops have included five military bases.

Nice try. Refute my statements here.
I dont care who gave anybody anything. If she cannot stand up to a RINO traitor, she is without honor. Talk about staring reality in the face and denying it.
Anybody with an I Q over 80 can stand up to the left. As far as the establishment GOP is concerned, who the HELL is the leader?? McCain. I dont see her standing now!
Palins character is certainly not in question. At least not by anybody with any sense.
Her character as a mother, and to her husband is great. Im not looking for mom of the year.
Why is Sarah Pac donating money to the worst RINOs? Is that character? Why, after a dozen radio interviews does she refuse to state that she will not condone any form of amnesty? Even when a frustrated Lars Larson tried to stuff those very words into her mouth for her?
To the contrary, some are calling the Republican Party worthless and traitorous.
That is a lie! We are calling only RINOs within the party traitorous. We are advocating the purge of all the RINOS If you want to engage in fair intellectual discourse, start with telling the truth.
Besides, Hayworth should be able to defeat McCain on his own accord.
Sorry, there are too many Palin is a goddess folks out there. If she goes public in a big way for McCain, it will likely be just enough for McCain to squeak through yet again.

To: Al B.
Is that the third time you’ve posted that.
Okay let’s go and let’s start fresh.
What is your argument here”
Palin is not a conservative?
or
She shouldn’t have said that she supported McCain?
Try to make a coherent argument and not ramble.
It’s on.
You cannot or will not. That is obvious. Go shopping.
That RINO did not know what he was doing.
He picked palin because she was a “skirt” and would “shadup” the abortion nuts. This was a desperation manuver by mccain to get the PUMA vote.
McCain and his RINO handlers thought they could simply control some woman from the little state of Alaska.
At some point loyalty to those who worship at the altar of stupidity has to end.
I will be happy to post from Scripture, but again, it is just my OPINION... **********
demagogue [dem-uh-gog, -gawg]
noun
1. a person, esp. an orator or political leader, who gains power and popularity by arousing the emotions, passions, and prejudices of the people.
2. (in ancient times) a leader of the people.
verb (used with object)
3. to treat or manipulate (a political issue) in the manner of a demagogue; obscure or distort with emotionalism, prejudice, etc.
Would you care to refute all the “demogogery” I posted in 492?
LOL, I knew you were a coward fake conservative.
Glad you enjoyed that, roamer_1. People need to laugh more.
“LOL, I knew you were a coward fake conservative.”
Nice name calling.
You have refuted nothing.
As for being a coward, it is a good thing for you that you can hide behindALL a keyboard.
Thank you for SHOWING ME YOUR CHARACTER.
Hey asswipe, I ask you to put forth your argument.
You told me to go shopping.
You begged for debate and now you run.
Coward.
Yes, you are prolific, if nothing else. 40% of the posts on this thread appear to be from your keyboard. You still haven't done anything but whine... and Sarah has gained 136 more FaceBook supporters in the past hour alone. Stupid worshippers, huh?
Note his clarion call to the possee lol.
I’ll take those Piper fan club kids.
Keep doing what you are doing.
Sarah is doing what she needs to do as a politician, gather votes and support anywhere she can.
Sadly it seems many who should know better around here forget that to win elections it is the guy (or gal) with the most votes who comes out on top.
Palin is in a damned if you do damned if you don't situation with a vocal few on the right and many on the left. Similar voices that labeled her a quitter for leaving office would now label her "disloyal" for dissing McCain.
Palin, like many of us, knows the reality of the current political landscape, to get anywhere she will have to run as a Republican, period. To run and win she will have to attract all Republicans and many independents, and McCain, as despicable as he is, is still what passes for a GOP power player.
Without the win, and the number of votes from all the different factions across the spectrum, it won't matter if Palin is the second coming of Reagan or the second act of Richard the Third, she, and conservatives in general, will once again have no voice.
You have FReepmail
“Stupid worshippers, huh? “
Where did I call you stupid?
Still no argument?
After you begged for one?
Coward.
Come on I still have about 20 minutes.
Answer my statments from post 492. COWARD!
I've figured your problem, though. It's not about your principles, is it?
I'll be seeing you, and Merry Christmas, again!
That is not an argument.
So, said you don’t know the difference.
That is a rambling rant with your opinion.
Clarify your arguments.
Never mind your incapable.
