Palin Accidentally Reprimands Her Own Supporters

(CBS)
(RICHMOND, VA.) - Protesters at Sarah Palin’s rallies can always expect to be shot down with some choice words from the candidate. But at a rally here today, the confused Alaska governor mistakenly issued a stern rebuke to her own supporters.
The outdoor crowd was so massive that many were unable to hear Palin speak, so about midway through the Alaska governor’s remarks, some of them tried to take matters into their own hands, shouting in unison, “We can’t hear you!”
When that didn’t get the candidate’s attention, they tried a new tactic.
“Louder!” they shouted.
Palin appeared flustered as she stopped reading from the prepared remarks, which were coming across her teleprompter.
“I would hope at least that those protesters have the courage and the honor of thanking our veterans for giving them the right to protest!” she admonished the confused crowd.
Palin’s husband Todd tried to put an end to the awkward episode by approaching his wife on stage and telling her, “They just can’t hear you back there. That’s it.”
Palin responded, “OK. I’m doing that,” and then continued with her stump speech.

See all 227 CommentsI''m sure she was expecting mass protests after her insane comments about being exonerated for the Ethics law the report said she broke.
I just have to say it again:
What''s the difference between Sarah Palin and George W. Bush?
That''s right, lipstick.
It''s newsworthy because she makes a fool out of herself (again and again).
McCain is bad enough.
It''s this half-wit who will become President when McCain dies in office that I''m scared sh*tless about.
Thanks for the forum. Vin at www.wegotsarah.com
Actually, that''s typical republican.
Palin responded, %u201COK. I%u2019m doing that,%u201D
What is missing here???
I don''t think she attracts 20,000, but if she does it''s because she''s like Nascar, everyone waiting to see what crash she will cause.
You don''t think Palin attracts 20000? And do you know the only time CBSNews beat ABC/NBC was when Palin was on. The ratings across cable and network spike when Palin is on, while the liberal bashing of Palin has been astonishing, include the liberal activist rag NYTImes.

Stick to the teleprompter, your highness. You should have learned by now that ad libbing really isn''t your thing.

You folks are nearly as incoherent as Sarah Palin is. Last month Obama drawing a large crowd of supporters was a scary thing.
No, I don''t think Sarah draws 20,000. They certainly didn''t today when you see the wide shots on TV.
Of course, Couric pulled in lots of viewer. Palin was sequestered from any reporters for seceral weeks after her nomination. Nobody knew anything about her.
Read this at Bloomberg News about how McCain''s campaign made up attendance numbers -

Maybe she''d be less inclined to say dumb things if she''d stop trying to be so witty. It comes off as angry and condescending.
Are you talking about Vicki Iseman?
BEAUTIFUL and probably true!!!
I thought you meant Vicki Iseman.
It''ll be more fun than chasing and shoot critters from an airplane. She''ll have her own F-22 Raptor.
What next?
That''s not really my point. Of all the aspects and events that occurred over the course of this day; of all the facts that CBS could have reported, they choose something to use to incite ridicule of Palin. And look at most of the content of this list. Adolescent liberal attacks. Just another day at CBS.
obama 08!
I understand. Just as Biden is known for his gaffes after many, many years in public office, Sarah is prone to say stupid stuff.
And we''ve only known her for several weeks.
Sarah doesn''t help herself when she starts a press conference yesterday by saying she''s glad the troopergate commission cleared her of illegal and unethical actions (I''m paraphrasing).
Until she is vetted by the press, she''s going to be picked on.
You understand? But do agree? Much of the content here is adolescent liberal attacks?
But I dispute you vigorously. Biden''s gaffe''s are stupid and annoying. Palin''s are creative and charming.
