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.

“NewBee, you are going by an article from POLITICO, a known liberal rag with mostly Washington Post writers and a few Mitt Romney suporters.”

If she didn’t say it, I look forward to the correction.

“We have Obama and his socialist agenda because of the idiots
who voted third party or sat at home on election day.”

We have Obama because of liberal Republicans like George W. Bush, the RNC leadership, many elected Republican Congressmen and Senators who actually pitch for the Left, and the traitor John Sydney McCain III - who spent more time praising Obama than attacking during his run. We have Obama due to those who excused the Republicans for so long. We have Obama due to people like you, not those of us with principles.

Well it looked like it to me.
