Palin said nothing that offended anyone except those "progressives" who believe that they exemplify decorum, civility, and are somehow more enlightened than the rest of us.
Thankfully, Americans have seen through the likes of Paul Krugman, Nanc Pelosi, Barney Frank, Chuck Schumer, President Obama, and especially Moonbats like TommyTomTomForNews. Again, those on the far left are just so bitter, angry and hate filled that their dream "March to Utopia" has failed....Their ten minutes of fame is over, and they are pissed!! *See* TommyTomTomForNews.
