Perhaps this shows just why Sarah Palin has ties to the Alaska Independence Party, a secessionist movement. She thinks parts of the country are not Pro-American!
To extrapolate further, that would imply she really thinks parts are Anti-America!
The McCain campaign is backpedaling on this, a remark reported from a Sarah Palin fundraiser in North Carolina yesterday in which the Alaska Governor said that she loved to visit the "pro-America" areas of the country. By extrapolation, she implied that there were some parts of the United States that she viewed as not pro-America.
Juliet Eilperin of the Washington Post broke the story yesterday, and has an "extended version" of her speech here, with the following excerpt:
"We believe that the best of America is not all in Washington, D.C. We believe" -- here the audience interrupted Palin with applause and cheers -- "We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation."
I couldn't say it better than this commenter from the Huffington Post:
you know, it really REALLY ticks ME OFF ...when some politician from out of nowhere who no one ever heard of except in her own state ... tells Me I'm NOT Pro America... because i don't follow HER views of it... that's why the CONSTITUTION was written, so we all follow Pro American Views... you know..." WE, THE PEOPLE IN ORDER TO FORM A MORE PERFECT UNION... "
