Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin made a surprise visit to Asheville Sunday. Palin and her family had dinner with the Reverend Billy Graham and his son Franklin, who issued the invitation. Billy Graham said it was an honor having Palin in his home for dinner, and that they took the opportunity to pray together. Palin was last in Asheville about 13 months ago campaigning for her then-running mate Senator John McCain. Palin will travel to Fort Bragg Monday to promote her memoir "Going Rogue: An American Life."

If Sarah Palin is sooooo incosequential......so ignorant....

Submitted by Commonsensenotc... on Tue, 11/24/2009 - 5:42pm.

....such an incredible, worthless boob, why is every mainstream media outlet in hyperdrive trying to run her down? She drives the liberals insane, which makes no sense at all if she is as unqualified as they claim. If they truly believed that, they'd ignore her and let her torpedo the Republican Party. She doesn't impress me, but I'd vote for a ring-tailed lemur to replace the Socialist currently residing in the Oval Office. It couldn't do any worse at destroying the American way of life than the plans Obama has unveiled. Start buying guns, ammo, gold, silver, canned water and freeze dried food. You're going to need them soon...

10 meetings and counting!!!

It is sickening that we have a president that right now is having his 10th meeting about what to do with Afghanistan. WHILE OUR TROOPS ARE DYING! He has no clue what he is doing!!! This man who barely held a Senator's office before being thrown into the limelight like America's saviour is a disgrace, incompetent and a socialist. Sarah Palin had executive experience AND she is quite intelligent. She would have done much better. Too bad our country is sinking deeper into a black hole she will probably never recover from. Thank you Obama, Pelosi, Reed and the millions of brain-dead Americans who voted in this disaster of an administration. Yeah...you with the Obama sticker---I hold you responsible for totally changing our country...and for the deaths of our servicemembers!

Lest you forget it was brother Bush who sent us to Afghanistan only to change directions and go to Iraq (weapons of mass destruction please show them to me) to get Sadam all the while stranding those in Afghanistan and waisting tremendous resources in Iraq that could have been used to fight terrorist in Afghanistan Cause there was nothing(no oil) in Afghanistan. Remember there was no Taliban in Iraq until Bush went there.Now they are all over the place.

Who do you blame for the deaths in Afghanistan while Bush and Cheney were ignoring it for all those years.I blame YOU! I also hold you responsable for the deaths in Iraq for lying us into that war.

The entire war was set up

The entire war was set up for failure from the get-go. I'd say more on that but I would only piss people off so I'll leave it at that. Bring the troops back, there is no need for anymore American blood to be spilled.

what 250, 300 million people in the US and all we could come up with was Palin, Clinton, and Obama? And don't forget those past heroes like Dole & Kerry.

That's why politics are a joke in this nation...the best, honest and brightest can do much better than waste their time in US politics. All the good ones that try, get ridden out of town by special interests. Our founding fathers wanted good Americans to take part time out of their career/life to serve their country. The system of career politicians does not serve our interests.....It's time we support and elect real Americans in office, not trial lawyers and oil men. Enter Sarah Palin joke here.

On what do you base this

On what do you base this trivial statement. You say you know so say what you know

Photo Op

Great photo op for Sarah. The rabid right wingers will love her even more for posing with the great Baptist prophet, or should I have said antisemitic prophet. Remember those remarks he made about Jews when he thought he was not being recorded?

We have a bigger imbecile living in the white house!!! And he isn't going anywhere for three more years. I'm counting the days.

The imbecile left the white house last january. He will get re-elected again. The country was screwedup before he got into thw whitehouse.

I wouldn't get too worried

Submitted by newlocal (not verified) on Mon, 11/23/2009 - 2:36pm.

I wouldn't get too worried about her going away....once she does her book tour and puts $a cool $5-10M int he bank, she'll do another book or maybe sink to the level of a reality show. She's smarter than people give her credit for... cashing in on American idiocy is usually reserved for the lot of Britney Spears or Jon and Kate. That's where this story actually belongs, entertainment section. Keep it in that perspective and maybe she won't bother you so much. Hating her is not worth your time, nor anyones actually. Jokes about her will last longer than she actually will...

Have you met Sarah Palin in person? The reason John McCain did so well, is Sarah Palin. Obama was marketed and sold to the public like everything else consumers can grab. To call someone an imbecile, seems to be a reflection on yourself.

Wait, what?

Submitted by Poor Paulie (not verified) on Mon, 11/23/2009 - 5:08pm.

I wonder if John McCain thinks he "did so well" in the last election...

Really?

Submitted by Guest 2 (not verified) on Mon, 11/23/2009 - 10:58pm.

And who (Obama) we have now is better than Palin WOW, how can anyone in their right mind believe this crock? Obama, the man who was given his place in the Senate, occupied the seat for a little more than 250 days, hardly ever committed himself to vote on anything was qualified to be President? Why did Obama win? Media support, black, not Bush, not Republican, a puppet, a liar, hates the free market, talks down his own country every chance he gets, LOVES to spend money that is taken by gun point if needed to give to others, a looter, and a Democrat that would stand up and read from a teleprompter the words of the leading democrats whether he believed in them or not. WOW, and that sounds like a good President? Mickey Mouse would be better than what we have now. Couldn't you democrats find a better black man to lead our country? AND I will say this, couldn't you republicans find a better black man to run on your side. I can name a number of them. Have you never heard of Walter Williams and Herman Cain? Put Palin with either of them and you would have a good team that has a real backbone, stands up for what they believe, is not a puppet and wouldn't have to spend trillions of dollars we don't have to fix this country. But I guess the moochers in this country wouldn't be happy then, would they? They wouldn't have a looter like Obama taking away from the producers and giving it to the moochers that stand there with their hands out because they deserve housing, food, and healthcare for free.

You're right, he's not

Submitted by Guestfjt (not verified) on Wed, 11/25/2009 - 11:29am.

You're right, he's not overly qualified, but you made one important point that simply cannot be overlooked. He's NOT BUSH, as in HE WASN'T GEORGE W BUSH. This was all it took after the last 8 years. Now is that Obama's fault, the democrats fault? All it took was a well spoken individual with likable qualities to completely oust an entire party out of power. WHOS FAULT IS THAT?????

Don't forget J.C. Watt...

...Alan Keyes, or Ward Connerly. As more and more Blacks are fully integrated into the middle and upper classes, the number of Black conservatives is steadily climbing. Most interesting is that most come from a similar background: Two parent households or a mother who refused to let her children remain in the inner city, and worked multiple jobs to get them away from it. Black or White, life is what YOU make it. If you accept failure you WILL fail.

He might not think he did very well, but then the whole country now isn't doing very well.
