How Dare She Be A Working Class Woman

One of our readers notified us of an article in the National Review:

Writers for the New York Times are still sneering at Sarah Palin and her family on a regular basis. After all, these snobs will never forgive her for going to the University of Idaho, or for having a husband who isn’t a lawyer or an investment banker, but a member of the United Steelworkers union, who doesn’t have a degree, whose mother (who is part Yupik) is a former secretary of the Alaska Federation of Natives, and whose grandmother is a member of the Curyung tribe.

The article goes on to point out the outrageous lies which have been circulated against Sarah Palin, all of which are untrue, including:

1. Sarah Palin was a member of the Alaska Independence party for two years in the 1990s. (She wasn't)

2. Sarah Palin didn’t support Pat Buchanan in the 1999-2000 campaign; she was an official on the campaign of Republican presidential contender Steve Forbes.

3. Her eldest son Track (who is deploying to Iraq this week) didn’t join the National Guard because he was a drug addict.

4. Her daughters Willow and Piper aren’t named after witches on TV.

5. She’s not anti-Semitic. In fact, she has an Israeli flag in her office, and quietly turned up for services at a newly opened Wasilla synagogue to pay her respects.

6. She didn’t cut funding for unwed mothers, but increased it by 354 percent.
