Sarah Palin says you're spitting on American soldiers' graves by criticizing the Duggars. What are your thoughts?

I gave up on taking her seriously after the short stint with a reality show.

Regardless of what Palin may have written or not the point of the double standard certainly is real.

"Such obvious double standards applied to equally relevant stories underestimate the wisdom of the public, discredit the press, and spit on the graves of every American who fought and died for the press's freedom"

What she said was its the double standards the press uses that spits on the graves.

The headline is there to make money.

The content is that part of the news that people don't bother to read because they have already read the headline.

I can't quite see how Mrs. Palin's comments have any connection to reality - which doesn't surprise me.

I think the cat is out of the bag, liberals do not like Sarah Palin and not because of what she says but the party she is affiliated with. If you look at these articles there is a lot of hubris going on. I do not agree with Palin over the comparison between Lena and the Duggar's situation because even Michael Jackson got hammered and from both sides.

I hear liberals so often talking about critical thinking and yet when a story about Palin comes out the worst is expected and if the worst is not realized, then the worst is fabricated. I also do not like the wording about spitting on someone's graves because I do not agree with it. However I cannot see Russia from North Carolina and what Sarah said regarding that:

The basis for this line comes from a September 2008 interview with ABC News's Charles Gibson, who asked Palin what insights she had from her state being so close to Russia. She responded: "They're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."

It was not Sarah but Tina Fey who put in terms from her house and not from some parts of Alaska as Palin said. So when I hear what Sarah allegedly says, I do due diligence and find out what was really said and from whom. And when I disagree with her, I do. It is not a reason for me to characterize her as a nitwit as so many people like to do. And might I add, many get their news from er, US Weekly, Carson Daley or Kurt Loder of MTV News. Real bastions of heady news reporting there..

I'm sorry. I know many of one political persuasion love her, but my head spins after listening to or reading what she says. I cannot follow her logic or understand what point she is espousing much if the time.

Had not heard this but what exactly do the Duggars have to do with the Military? Did any of them serve or are currently serving?
I am baffled every day by how people compare apples to dynamite.

If she looked like Kim Davies, nobody would never have listened to her ever.
Someone else here said it... that Reality TV Show was good. Good at erase her ever being taken serious again. Now media must stop looking at her.
