Reading some of these comments. I have learned that lefties are hateful. That is interesting, i always thought right wing , KKK. militia types , ditto heads, and birthers/birchers were the real haters. I guess MLK must have been a terrorist . Palin agrees Obama could be a Muslim. Or is that the right will not accept a black man or woman president of the USA.

yeh drill baby drill they were saying that down in the gulf of mexico. right BP. she is a phony and she only cares about herself. why did she quit being governor in Alaska. why was she involved in trooper gate. why does she not know who Paul Revere is. why do some of her close republicans say that she was not too smart. don’t forget the bridge to nowhere.

And you are relying on not reading any of the comments, yet expecting people to read yours. Thanks, though.

You are relying on the Saturday Night version instead of facts.

What Palin really said:

“They’re our next door neighbors. And you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska.”

As to the question of whether one can actually see Russia from Alaska, Governor Palin was correct: such a view is possible from more than one place in Alaska. A Slate article on the topic noted that:

In the middle of the Bering Strait are two small, sparsely populated islands: Big Diomede, which sits in Russian territory, and Little Diomede, which is part of the United States. At their closest, these two islands are a little less than two and a half miles apart, which means that, on a clear day, you can definitely see one from the other.
