Holy crap. She thinks we could go to war with Russian over Georgia, she seems to welcome a war between Iran/Israel/and the U.S., and she evidently has no ******* clue what the "Bush Doctrine" is.....
YouTube - Sarah Palin Fails The Bush Doctrine Test
Get your news somewhere else because what you are reading isn't "news" -it is someone else's OPINION only. You only chose it because it shares your desire to see Palin thought of poorly, not because she actually did poorly. You sure have no intention of putting up a complimentary opinion about her, do you? LOL
She didn't "flunk" the Bush Doctrine test because there is no single such doctrine -it is now in its 4th rendition. So Palin was perfectly correct to ask Gibson "in what respect" since she couldn't possibly know which revision he was even referring to -and she didn't assume he was actually current with the most recent revision. Gibson is the one who flunked that test. And in fact, what Gibson claimed to be the Bush Doctrine was WRONG.
The Bush Doctrine is not that we declared a "new" right, that previously never existed at all - to pre-emptive attack in order to prevent an enemy from hitting us first. Gibson is an idiot if he believes that one. Not only has this country ALWAYS had that right and always will -so does EVERY nation in the world. No country, no matter the intelligence that shows another country is preparing to attack it, is required to allow the enemy to strike them first and kill untold numbers of their own citizens in an effort to destroy or at least cripple their ability to even defend itself in the future, much less effectively fight in the war that was just launched on them. If YOU believe countries are obligated to do that -you're an idiot too.
Gibson was such an asshole just OOZING his contempt and disdain for Palin and then additionally deliberately misquoted her in order to pretend she said soldiers were going on a mission sent by God when she didn't. When she pointed out that isn't what she said -he arrogantly claimed "exact quotation." It wasn't at all and she said no such thing. Everyone could see his real intent during the entire interview was hoping to force Palin into a major gaffe and a "gotcha" moment. Which never happened -so Gibson "flunked" there as well. The liberal media is getting angry over its inability to destroy Palin -and the more Obama drops in the polls, the angrier they are getting and more blatantly biased they reveal themselves to be.
Anyone who gets before the media and says they promptly rule OUT the use of force when dealing with hostile and semi-hostile nations, those trying to re-create their past empire by militarily taking over its smaller neighbors once again or nations intent on getting weapons that threaten the very existence of another nation when that country has made no bones about desiring to wipe them off the map -is an idiot who doesn't belong anywhere near the White House. They have not only announced their reluctance to fully protect THIS nation by any means it may require -but announced they are totally willing to betray allies we told could rely on our aid in the event of an attack.
Now would you like to talk about what the photographer who took the cover picture of McCain for the Atlanta Monthly did to the picture -and admits she deliberately did it? Unlike your own "story" there, this isn't based on someone's personal opinion but the photographer's own words. She admits she purposely used lighting for her shots to make McCain look as bad as possible, admitted to turning his eyes red and bloodshot, and washing out his naturally ruddy skin tone to look like a corpse's skin. She also took some of the other and equally but deliberately unflattering photos she shot at that time, Photoshopped them to add fangs and dripping blood with the caption "I am a bloodthirsty warmonger" - put them up on her personal website and hopes others will use them on political posters and billboards.
No one with any kind of brains can claim the media isn't in the tank for Obama and doing all it can to present the public with the most slanted, biased anti-McCain coverage, repeating false propaganda attacks on McCain/Palin as "fact". Much of what they are REALLY angry about is the fact the public refuses to allow themselves to be manipulated by the press. If they were buying into the media's aid for Obama -then McCain wouldn't be ahead in the polls. The fact you can find an online anti-McCain/Palin source so you can repeat their biased OPINION about Palin's interview because you like that and somehow "justifies" in your mind your own bias -doesn't make it "fact", sorry. It is that ONE person's personal opinion who filtered her performance through his own political bias and saw something that wasn't there. Nothing more.
The fact is, if anyone "flunked" knowing what the Bush Doctrine is -it was arrogant and contemptuous Gibson.
