Sarah Palin's Haiti Visit: Blink and You'd Miss It (No matter what, attack Sarah Palin!)

Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin's visit to Haiti was over faster than you could say cholera. Palin spent less than 48 hours in the earthquake-ravaged nation that's currently facing a growing cholera epidemic that has already killed more than 2,000 people, and mounting political unrest due to a contested election. Palin was accompanied by her reality-TV-star daughter, Bristol, and her husband, Todd. And she mostly remained off-limits to media organizations except for Fox News, the network on which she serves as a news analyst.

The trip to Haiti had been planned a month in advance, and was hosted by the Rev. Franklin Graham, son of famed evangelist Billy Graham and founder of humanitarian organization Samaritan's Purse. During the weekend, Palin visited a couple of cholera treatment centers in the notorious slum area of Cité Soleil. Palin made herself briefly available to the media on Sunday at the headquarters of Samaritan's Purse, alongside a depot with temporary-shelter materials — the organization has built about 10,000 temporary shelters since the earthquake.

Haiti is the fourth country outside North America that Palin has visited, and she said her impressions of the poorest country in the western hemisphere were "much harsher" than she had expected.....

obama visit to Afghanistan- blink and you’ll miss it
6 troops died just before his hours long visit, 6 more died today...blink blink

Let’s review the video of obama visit to Haiti... oh wait

[silverleaf]

well, hundreds of millions of people and weary donors were again focused again on Haiti, thanks to the liberal media bashing of Palin

If you are dying of cholera, any publicity of your needs is a good thing

Now, when do obama and moochelle plan a 48 hour visit?

[silverleaf]

Greta Van Sustern has gone along with the Grahams to cover Samaritan’s Purse mission operations since at least 2008 when she went to North Korea

her visit was not about Palin

[silverleaf]

I guess obama’s holiday visit to troops in Afghanistan was over before you could say “taliban negotiations”

“her visit was not about Palin”

I didn’t say it was.

All I did was to pointed out Greta was in the picture.

“Christian mission work is the most effective than foreign aid from our government.”
_____________

Actually, christian mission work has very little, if anything, to do with our government. It is voluntary and privately-funded.

The only thing our government had to do with Rev. Graham’s mission is give him permission to travel to Haiti.

I checked a liberal site when this came out—one person was hoping she’d catch cholera; another poster complained about the little plastic toys that were given out. Do these people not realize that the children don’t have too many toy storage options?

AP covered up their jab at Bristol/Sarah...by lying about it:

Palin knocks AP’s Haiti photo caption

By Michael Calderone

• Sarah Palin took issue with the Associated Press on Sunday after the wire service transmitted a photo caption from Haiti describing her as having "her hair done" on the humanitarian trip.

  "This takes the cake," Palin scoffed on Twitter. "Really?"

  The AP photo caption now describes Palin as having "her hair fixed by her daughter Bristol."

[aphid]

Shameless. AP said it wasn’t “immediately clear” Palin’s Haiti hair stylist was Bristol.

Jim was right. He said there was NO chance of a retraction or apology....but they sure found a way to slam Sarah (again) without admitting their own malicious error.

[Syncro]

LOL nothing is clear to leftists until they are caught

Heh

Then they feign innocence and pretend they are as dumb with their reporting as they are clever at editing to make a story out of hole cloth. Yes, hole cloth lol.

Shameless. AP said it wasn’t “immediately clear” Palin’s Haiti hair stylist was Bristol.

B.S. Well known fact Bristol was on the trip with her Mom and Dad, and Greta can been seen in the photo, too.

[onyx]

LOL. Right on, Syncro. “Hole” cloth.

[Syncro]

There credibility fall right through!

[aphid]

Fortunately, Sarah consistently shoots holes in their cloth. (I’d made a campaign issue of revising libel/slander laws in the this country.)

[onyx]

A/P - never mind bothing to check for ANY facts!

[aphid]

Note to self: what the heck was that garble in your last post? Pay attention!

[Syncro]

Maybe it's catching

See my post just above yours
