Not to burst bubbles--but, we went after Pelosi for visitng with that nutbag from Syria, and people were calling for indictments under the Logan Act....

This is treading dangerously close to violations of the Logan Act as well...

I know Obama isn't doing his job with regards to diplomacy, but I hope Palin has all her ducks in a row when making a visit and talking to a Prime Minister of one of our allies.

Flame away.. I don't care. I'm being objective.

She’s a private citizen visiting on her own time. Palin isn’t an elected official nor is she ‘negotiating’ on behalf of her country. Logan Act doesn’t apply here.

You are way off base! What are you thinking??

Sarah is a private citizen and not even a presidential candidate!- she can talk to Benjamin about what’s going on in the world....there is not going to be a plot against the current administration if she tell him what her opinions are

Palin is going to Israel as a private citizen of the United States of America. Thousands of other Americans have visited Israel, and many, including my own father has met with and spoken with Israeli officials.
The Logan Act has absolutely NO business in this discussion.
I believe that countless thousands of Americans have visited foreign countries, and have conversed with officials of varied level from those countries.
As a 19 year old sailor I had a short conversation with a Japanese gentleman who turned out to be a local official. Where did I go in violation of any law?

Please let me know when Palin is no longer a private citizen. Let me know when she is negotiating with other countries.

Frankly, I don’t mind bursting your “bubbles” or the “bubbles “ of any PDS’er. What she is doing has absolutely NOTHING to do with the Logan act.

Just being “objective”.... LMAO

“TALKING to” and “NEGOTIATING with” are two very different things. pelousy was negotiating. THAT is illegal. Receiving firsthand information for FUTURE negotiations is something else again.
You aren’t being objective, you are being silly.
