It's clear someone put that in her head like a Parrot.

4. Yeah, wasn't he that guy Stalin had killed in Mexico at Dayglo Riviera's house?

On second thought, no: she would never have heard about Trotsky, Rivera, or maybe even Stalin -- and she can't even see Mexico from her front porch.

5. a prescient statement
from the above wiki link

Alinsky described his plans in 1972 to begin to organize the White middle class across America, and the necessity of that project. He believed that what President Richard Nixon and Vice-President Spiro Agnew called "The Silent Majority" was living in frustration and despair, worried about their future, and ripe for a turn to radical social change, to become politically-active citizens. He feared the middle class could be driven to a right-wing viewpoint, "making them ripe for the plucking by some guy on horseback promising a return to the vanished verities of yesterday." His stated motive: "I love this goddamn country, and we're going to take it back."

8. Saul Alinsky
Saul Alinsky was an American hero. Sarah Palin does not have a clue to who he was and what he did for our country. Alinsky is responsible for integrating most large corporations in the United States by shaming them into compliance. Read the interviews that Playboy did with him shortly before his death. He grew up in the back of a small grocery store in south Chicago, and gave away any money that came his way- unlike the shrill, opportunist, know nothing ex Alaskan half governor.

6. Does she even GIVE interviews to non-Fox types any more?
You can be sure nobody on Fox would ask her to explain Alinsky.

I am certain you won't be seeing anymore interviews by the Gibson's or the Couric's of the press EVER! Everything is prescreened...

7. Ms Sarah is not interested
in giving interviews. Her thingy is going to the bank. I keep saying that this is one cold calculating b---h. And I really felt good when I learned that she has made close to twelve million dollars since she left the governorship of Alaska. Any interview that doesn't fit into the scheme of making money,she will not be doing. But anyone who will spread her money making hate filled speeches and let her not answer questions of intelligence will always be faux network peeps.

She gets more ink here than does our President.
