[Vision2020] We've All Misunderstood the First Amendment in the World According to Palin

[g. crabtree]

I'm nor sure what "innuendo" you might be referring to as I was trying to be 
very plain in what it was I was saying. Also, I have no interest in who it 
is that you or others on this list hate, it seems that you have managed to 
miss my point. (a total oversight, I'm sure)

In the post I was responding to you implied that the Republican vice 
presidential candidate was inept because she quiped that when the media 
takes her near every word and spins it as negative campaigning and that it 
puts a crimp in her freedom of speech. But, when your local hero has one 
lonely gomer mildly disagree with him and hauls out what appears to be the 
exact same argument writ small, mentioning it becomes innuendo and hate.

Your consistency is that of shifting sand.
