Ask any apolitical person their most memorable Palin quote and they'll almost always come back with "I can see Russia from my back yard!"
A quote Sarah Palin NEVER made. That was Tina Fey "as" Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live.
Doesn't matter what the truth is once it's ingrained in popular culture.
We don’t suffer from a lack of information. We suffer from a lack of courage. It is certainly very easy to prove that she answered the question totally on point, but unfortunately, too many of us lack courage of any kind. Oh no, someone might think we’re a teabagger if we speak up.
Unfortunately, if we don’t take on the culture, really show the low info Americans what kind of lies they have been fed, nothing will ever change. Too bad, most of us are not brave enough to speak up.
