I know McCain has been disparaging of Palin in the past (saying he regretted choosing her as his VP nominee, for example), but has Sarah Palin said anything disparaging of McCain? I really don’t think so, but I could be forgetting something.

That Palin started the divisive extreme vitriol is a lie invented by the Dims and their media.

Actually, the era of extreme vitriol began in 2000 when the Clinton dynasty failed to elect their designated prince, Al Gore, who was suppose to reign for eight years before handing the thrown back to Hillary. The virtual state media of the Progressives never forgave the GOP for cutting off their marriage to the actual state, and they spurred the vitriol on from the Dims against the GOP.

The “obstruction” Obama recieved was the Karma-return of the obstruction the Dims gave to GWBush.

“By not having Sarah Palin at the service as well, and this was the wishes of his family, we are learning

How are we "learning" this? The sources so far say "reports" have said this but I haven't heard this confirmed or commented on by Sarah. Has anyone asked HER if this is true?

That is, if you believe CNN, and, apparently, John McCain.

"Vitriol" was the CNN commentator Jeff Zeleny's word, not something that came from McCain or his camp.

Zeleny doesn't know what he is talking about.

I don't remember anything "vitriolic" that Palin said.

She seems to have been much more attacked than attacking throughout her political career.

But this whole "not invited" thing is hard to figure out.

Was Palin explicitly asked to stay away?

Did only people who got an invite from the McCain's attend the service?

______

I also notice that McCain's top advisers in the 2008 campaign -- campaign manager Steve Schmidt, senior adviser Nicolle Wallace, and longtime strategist John Weaver -- weren't "invited" to the funeral.

That puts the Palin matter in a very different light.

McCain -- or somebody in his faction -- may have been trying to put the whole 2008 presidential campaign far behind him.

It may not have had much to do with Palin herself or anything about her personally or politically.

Era of Vitriol = pointing out the hypocricy of the left and standing for traditional American values. aka -The Tea Party. aka God, Family and Country -

Thank you Gov. Palin
