Somehow, in Sarah Palin's brain, it's a threat to the First Amendment when newspapers criticize her negative attacks on Barack Obama.

What is the fundamental difference between "flawed" and "imperfect" please?
1 a: a defect in physical structure or form flaw> b: an imperfection or weakness and especially one that detracts from the whole or hinders effectiveness flaw in his character> flaw in the book's plot>
1: not perfect: as a: defective bof a flower : having stamens or pistils but not both c: lacking or not involving sexual reproduction imperfect stage of a fungus>
And Obama insulted a HUGE segment of the population by saying they clinged to their guns and religion. Do we really need to do a tit-for-tat gaffe-fest?
From what I have seen during this election, I don't think Obama made a gaffe...just stated the truth.
Generally speaking, indians weren't slaughtered or blacks enslaved as a means of promoting Christianity or it's value system.
There were numerous terrible things done to Native Americans in the name of Christianity.
Actually, it's Obama, your Presidential candidate, not your VP who's "Constitutionally ignorant"...
You say this and then you fail to back it up.

"Actually, it's Obama, your Presidential candidate, not your VP who's "Constitutionally ignorant"...
Does this mean that you AGREE with Palin's assesment of the 1st amendment. That criticism of public officials and candidates is an "attack" on the first amendment ? That free speech only applies to HER, and not to anyone who wishes to criticise or challenge what she says ?
If criticising Palin is "unconstitutionals" why is criticism of Obama OK ?
Also, how does the view that the first amendment is "threatened" by people actually excercising their right of free speech to criticise Palin, show a deep understanding of the constitution ?
I agree.
Jesus didn't comment on slavery, so I don't know how Christianity could be used to condone slavery.
I love it!
Lie. Indians have been making tourist bucks to eons displaying their "religious practices."
Wow! Talk about insulting a HUGE group of people...
