[Joanne98]

Using the Fort Hood tragedy to promote her book!

She's a low life piece of shit!

1. I don't understand the unrecs, does anyone have the stones to explain?

Joanne98 is right, going there ever, and especially going there now, is utterly classless and disturbing.

Not that it's a surprise...

Recommended.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn there are a number of Failin camp followers among us.

3. Yes, she is. she is using the Ft Hood shootings to promote her book

and its an outrage.

And should be reported as such.

5. I thought she was not allowed to give speeches at Fort Bragg

according to what I read all she is allowed to do is sign books. No speech, no press and no personal pictures with the troops.

6. Its a media circus anyway

they will follow her to wherever she goes. even if she gets no coverage there, shes still getting coverage over it to promote herself.
she has no shame.

11. They caved a little. As of today - Media WILL be allowed "to cover" Failin Palin booksigning....

but not allowed to interview.

FORT BRAGG -- The U.S. Army will allow the media limited coverage of Sarah Palin's appearance at Fort Bragg, but will bar reporters from interviewing her or her supporters on the post, officials said Thursday.

A Fort Bragg spokesman initially said the Army would ban the media from Palin's book signing next week, fearing it would turn into political grandstanding against President Barack Obama. After The Associated Press and The Fayetteville Observer protested, Col. Billy Buckner said the post would permit restricted access.

A small pool of reporters will be allowed to view and document the event but will be barred from the interviews. The public will be allowed.

8. Are you sure she wasn't trying to do this?

I understand the bride's family does that to ward off evil spirits.

Either way, Palin's a clueless, anti-intellectual little fish in a really big pond.

9. She also likes going around trashing decorated war veterans whenever she gets the chance

John Kerry, John McCain (as she has done by proxy in her book) and Oliver Stone come to mind.

Wish she could respect those who have served and sacrificed for our country. Guess they only count if they are related to her or they are standing in line with one of her books after stuffing her wallet with $25. Sad.

12. Your federal tax dollars are being used to promote SP book tour...I called Fort Bragg to complain

Everyone who feels the same should contact Ft Bragg media office is 910-907-5290 - Please call and lodge your complaint but be courteous, or if anyone in the media can find out WHY this was allowed.


I do not want my federal taxes dollars to be used by Palin promoting her book for grandstanding RW politics. If Gore was doing this, we would never hear the last of it...


Why is Sarah getting "Special Privileges" to use military bases to promote her book?. Does this make a precedent that ANY author can come onto a military base for book signing? Sarah Palin is not a politician anymore so what excuse can there be for her using tax dollars to push her book? She is no longer Governor of Alaska. She is no longer a candidate for Vice President, or, (officially,) for any other political office. She is simply a private citizen with a Internet blog. So why is she being allowed to do book signings at Fort Bragg and Fort Hood. Does this mean that any author (as if she actually wrote her book) can hold promotional book signing events on U. S. military bases while enjoying protection from the press by the Army, and be supported by federal tax dollars?
