Speaking in North Carolina yesterday, Governor Palin declared she loved to visit the "pro-American" areas of the country. "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."
Are we to assume that Governor Palin thinks there are parts of these United States that are not pro-American? Perhaps she referring to those areas of the country where she and McCain are falling behind in the polls. Perhaps she means New York, Pennsylvania, California, Virginia and any other areas that is choosing Obama over the Republican ticket. It kind of reminds me of the early days of the Iraq war when those who disagreed with the war were called unpatriotic. The right wing of the Republican party has a history of couching arguments that casts anyone who disagrees with them as unpatriotic and it looks like Palin is fitting right in with that crew.
