Yes, Sarah Palin is a political person, per se

"She's not a political figure per se ..."

Believe it or not, that's what a Fort Bragg spokesman said today ... about Sarah Palin, AP reports.

The former Alaska governor and John McCain running mate signed books on the Army base at what AP called a "campaign-like gathering."

Fort Bragg brass stipulated that she was only signing books, not using the event as a political platorm, which would be prohibited at a military installation. But ...

"But the bus parked nearby encouraged donations to her political action committee and supporters made clear that she should run for president. ...

"Palin's father, who greeted supporters as his daughter signed copies of the book, said in an interview that Obama's handling of the military was 'scary.' "

A 58-year-old veteran wore a T-shirt that said, "Impeach Obama."

Fayetteville Observer has video.

Now, Doug, can a private citizen like Palin help it that millions of Americans, including many of our brave men and women in the armed forces, want her to run for President? Is she to blame for that grassroots fervor? Should she deprive our soldiers of her physical and intellectual presence simply because of nitpicky editorialists? I suppose you would have banned Bob Hope due to his association of Democrats and zombies?

brian 444, you must not read to much are watch liberal tv. She the blame for everything.!
This poor lady was attacked by liberals from the word go.
They claim she is not smart! Made porn movies and caused the great depression!!
Really, wonder how much she made on this book deal?
More than likely, pays taxes, most of Obama folks do not. Seems the liberal press, ignores this!
Talking about smart Hagan gave her vote on heath care away.
Proud Mary, got 300 million dollars for hers! Seems the liberal media, has not heard about this!
Kay Hagan seems to also ignores the people, ever poll shows folks do not like Obama care!
Yet she voted for it! So much for the government for the people, by the people.
By the way I highly recommend the book.
After reading it, I understand why liberal hate her, she has worked* all her life.
Work a four letter word in liberal talk.
