11/20: The Day I Met Sarah Palin… and the Liberal Media

Where on earth do I begin? This all started as me, a young 17 year old American going to see a woman I admire and turned into this crazy event hah I’ll start at the very beginning.
My dad and I arrived at the Barnes and Noble at 11 pmTuesday evening. There were 2 tents in front of us; we were probably number 15 or so in line. It was a chilly evening but I enjoyed some good conversation from several Palin fans. We talked about Obama, Palin and just some other stuff. We sat outside in the cold, bundled up until 5:30 am. At that time they ushered us inside where we had to sit outside the B&N entrance until 7am. We received our bracelets at 7am and were told if we’d like to be guaranteed to see Palin we should remain in line all day. So I did. I was not about to lose a chance at seeing Sarah Palin after sitting in line out in the freezing cold for hours. So I sat, and sat… I read some of her book and then the media circus began. I spotted Norah O’Donnell and Andrea Mitchell right off the bat and couldn’t believe they were there.. I mean I thought they hated Sarah Palin. I thought Sarah Palin had no impact, she was a nobody yet they send their 2 big guns to cover her book tour… but I digress.
The media were out of line on that, I agree. We all, including the press, should all be encouraging someone of that age to vote their conscience. Everyone one should and no one is required to defend their opinions.
I’ll say also though, that if you’re a few years older, and volunteer to advocate for your cause to a camera, then don’t expect softball questions.
I can see that she has learned from this experience and will grow from it. The one thing she will learn from this is do not believe everthing you see and hear, it can be staged to look spontaneous. Good luck to her.
Regrettably, nothing surprises me about the lame stream media any more. I can only hope & pray that we have millions more 17 year olds that think like this young lady does!
