Sarah Palin on the ‘American Experience’, an OpEd
Wednesday, November 18th, 2009
I just had the opportunity to get a sneak preview of Sarah Palin’s ABC 20/20 interview and was struck immediately by the following phrase:
‘Tough hunting buddy until the end, Palin emphasized how her Alaskan identity is uniquely American’.
So, her Alaskan identity is more ‘uniquely American’ than my Iowa upbringing? How dare she. So she’s more American than me? Her sense of community and taking care of neighbors is unique to Alaska? Then you’ve never been to Iowa during the harvest, Ms. Palin. As a child, I can remember neighboring farmers being injured or too sick to get their crops in, yet it was always the close-knit farming community who unfailingly made sure that family’s crops were harvested, their bills paid and food was on their table. Ms. Palin, when you learn not to insult America every time you open your mouth, you’ll understand exactly why the McCain campaign ran it off into the ditch – with you at the wheel. Sarah, (and with that folksy charm of yours I know I can call you Sarah) maybe you should stop looking at the view of Russia from your house and take a closer look at the America you revile – single mothers, homosexuals, the poor, minorities – all of whom are no less American than you. You want to paint America with one Conservative, Right-Wing brush stroke and that’s not the way America looks. It takes ALL of us to make this the amazing nation it is and we don’t all look like you (thank goodness).
By the way – FactChecker went over your book, “Going Rogue” – when it goes to reprint make sure it has the correct title… “Forked Tongue”. While not speaking for my America, the one gift for which you are truly proficient is your ability to simultaneously speak from both sides of your mouth.
