In a picture supplied by Sarah Palin's family to the Associated Press, Palin appears with some rather odd reading matter: The magazine of the ultraconservative John Birch Society.

The picture, dating to 1995, when Palin was a member of the Wasilla City Council, ran beside a profile of Palin in Saturday's New York Times. The magazine, The New American, is sitting on top of her calendar on her desk, unopened....

Following this logic further:

1. Everyone who read Das Kapital or Mein Kampf as part of their historical or political studies is suspect as a possible enemy of America.

2. Anybody who studies the Democrats' publications looking for talking points is a secret Democratic Party mole.

3. Anybody who posts negative MSM coverage of the Republicans to inform others about what's out there is a troll.

4. The folks at CAIR-watch, who keep up with CAIR press releases, are secret Muslim agents.

5. PJ-Comix is under suspicion for reading DU threads in order to write the DUmmie FUnnies.

Meanwhile, Barack Obama drinks zinfandel and nibbles cucumber sandwiches with William Ayers and Bernadine Dorne, and that’s ok.

Yup. At one time or another, I’ve had The Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital on my desk. And I’ve read them (know your enemy). Doesn’t make me a communist!

Just another hit piece.

This confirms that Palin should be President instead of McCain.

I still don’t see how she can ever get along with McCain. McCain is as Globalist as it gets.

You can add to your list:

An elected official who takes the time to look at a written piece sent to her by a contituent must be considered to be in agreement with everything in the piece.

If she reads the JBS mag AND the Washington Post, that would mean she is pretty balanced. Correct?

So she’s the first NeoCon/PaleoCon.

Would this make her a paleoneocon or a neopaleocon?

Ahh the Looney Left, you got to love them because they provide so many laughs.

It's quite a stretch to put JBS in the same category.

“Are you now or have you ever been...”

Meanwhile Obama pals around with admitted terrorists, the Clintons pardon convicted terrorists, etc. and WE are wrong to point out who they hang around with (people who still hold to the politics they held when they were terrorists).

Like saying if your bare right foot is in a bucket of ice water and your bare left foot is in a bucket of boiling water then — on average — you are comfortable.

Palin just gets better and better!

If Americans were just a little bit Birchy, maybe things wouldn’t be such a mess now.

If she wasn’t my candidate before (which she was), that cements it for me.

“Looks like the Birchers were right.”

The rest of you Birch-bashers — GET OVER IT!!

Nothing wrong with reading those types of magazines. Remember the old saying....”Keep your friends close and your enemys closer.”? Good to know what the other side is doing.

Turns out this was just a reprint sent out by JBS to policymakers, according to a couple of sources.

Regardless, I think we have to confront the Communist threat again. This time, it is more insidious.

Don't forget "The Turner Diaries" and "The Anarchist's Cookbook."

Produce the original or its been photoshopped IMO.

Nicely released a couple of days after smearing Limbaugh. Rush’s opinion piece this morning in the WSJ is dead on this topic and this ‘photo’ is further proof.

Birth certificate forgery anyone?

Just a thought here---at what point in their slow suicide might we stick a fork in the NYT? I have a long pointed one nearby and am ready.

Time for the lib librarians to scream, “What a person reads is none of your business!”

I’m sure they will be marching in support of Palin.
