I’m As Serious As An Embolism – I’ve Lost All Respect For Sarah Palin

"Unless she is giving him the finger over his shoulder, this is unacceptable."

Even Breitbart invited the Occupiers to Applebee’s. Showing kindness and tolerance “heaps burning coals on their heads,” as the Bible says.

"Just bending over backward to give Sarah the benefit of the doubt, here:
"It sounds like Al Crap-ton was the instigator/pursuer, based on his tweets. Maybe Palin was caught off guard, then had a snap decision to make, deciding to prove that, even after being highly critical of Crap-ton, she has the courage to look him in the eye and be civil, if not even cordial.
"Some people will run in fear and avoid, at all costs, someone they have criticized, because they do not have the courage of their convictions.
