The Most Sensitive Person in Politics is yet again proving her ability to find persecution in any situation. Sarah Palin has canceled an appearance in Colorado that was to be a fundraiser to benefit military families. Of course, neither Palin nor the Sharon K Pacheco Foundation cite specific personal attacks, though they are clear that there had been no direct threats to her safety.
"Due to an onslaught of personal attacks against Governor Palin and others associated with her appearance, it is with deep sadness and disappointment that, in the best interest of all, we cancel the event for safety concerns," says the Foundation's Director.Apparently Sarah Barracuda's fee fees are more important than the families of veterans who died in combat. Good to know.
He points out that no direct threats have been made against anyone, but the recent increase in negative rhetoric against the former Alaska governor "raises concern for her safety and the safety of others despite the call for civility in America," following the tragic Tucson shooting.
Seriously: is there any national figure who is more offended by what random people think about her? I get that she has played the victim card for her entire miserable duration as a national figure, but at some point, doesn't it wear thin? Like, say, when she's canceling an appearance that would raise money for veterans' families?
