Gov Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) said she fears her First Amendment rights may be threatened by "attacks" from reporters who suggest she is engaging in a negative campaign against Sen Barack Obama (D-IL). In an interview on a conservative radio program, she said her criticism of Obama's associations should not be considered negative attacks. Rather, for reporters or columnists to suggest that it is going negative may constitute an attack that threatens a candidate's free speech rights under the Constitution.

willyhanks Obviously Palin has not read the First Amendment which reads: "And Congress shall make no law . .. abridging freedom of speech or of the press..." Congress refers to state action, not--as Palin would have it--private action, i.e., the press. Palin has the law backward in her mind. She wants her speech protected against press criticism. How,one wonders, could a person with such a distorted view of a fundamental freedom be selected to possibly ascend to the presidency? Surely, McCain should cringe at Palin's stupidity.
