Sarah Palin has a short, and selective, memory.

Sister Sarah prodded her indentured servant Facebook writer to post the following in response to news that local radio jerkwad, and Joe Miller supporter, Dan "Are you going to finish that dessert" Fagan had been taken off of the air because of complaints that he was engaging in election fraud :

Individuals like Dan Fagan have a fundamental right to speak their minds without threats from the incumbent Senator from Alaska. It is hard to find a constitutional right Americans cherish more than the right to free speech. This was a right Joe Miller, as a decorated combat veteran – a tank commander tested in battle, was willing to die to defend. Dan Fagan has not always agreed with me, but I will gladly defend his right to speak freely on his radio show, which he has often used to criticize me. In fact, Fagan has actually used his radio show to attack and insult me, my husband, my children, and my family in just about every way possible. He was especially insulting to my son, who left for a war zone to defend Fagan’s right to attack our family. But when I was his governor, I never would have dreamed of threatening his right to free speech. I support him in this fight because this D.C. Beltway thuggery, as exemplified by Lisa Murkowski’s latest threat, is ruining our country. The powers that be want ordinary Americans to sit down and shut up and let the ruling class ride us right off the debt cliff we’re heading towards with Obama, Pelosi, and Reid steering the nation’s car. We can’t let them. Now is the time to put aside our past differences and stand up to the establishment powers.

Okay well encouraging people to fraudulently attempt to cause mayhem at polling places in order to benefit your candidate may not exactly fall under the protection of the First Amendment, but I do agree with Palin that people's right to free speech MUST be protected!

However unlike Palin I also believed that back in December of 2009, when she had ME and my friend  Dennis Zaki ejected from an "open to the public" book signing by the Wasilla police.

The woman who once called on the press to "quit makin' things up" took it a step further yesterday by allegedly banning four members of the media from a book event in Wasilla, Alaska.

So let me see if I have this clear.  Free speech is protected when it might keep a radio host who supports your candidate from being suspended, but not when it means that bloggers and news people who have been critical of you might ask you an embarrassing question in front of your fans Ms. Palin?

You know the Constitution is not a spigot you can turn on and off at will.  Either it protects free speech or it doesn't.  

Hypocrisy thy name is Palin!
