Um, what? Can someone please translate this Palin statement for me?

Just saw on the news that a heckler interrupted a Palin speech today, and here's how she reacted:

She turned to the heckler and said (this isn't an exact quote, but close): "My son is over in Eye-Rack, fighting for your freedom to protest."

The crowd applauded and she even applauded herself.

How is anyone in Iraq fighting for our freedom to protest? And don't we already have the freedom to protest? WTF is she thinking?

1. People believe in angels & fairies too.

2. Oh dear God. The same old shit: they're fighting for our freedoms.

Somebody had better be, since they're being taken away rapidly by the rePigliCons...so they should be fighting the domestic terra-ists (rePigliCons) here instead of fighting innocents over THERE.
What a bunch of shit.

3. No, no...

It's: Freedom isn't free!

[grannylib]

10. Oh yeah...that's another one of the tired old lines. And this is the

pair of 'mavericks' who are going to 'change' America???
WhatthefuckEVER....
We are not fooled.

4. The Iraqis are taking away our freedom from debt

by having so much valuable oil under their sand.

I think that's how it works.

5. It just shows how ignorant Palin and her supporters are.

6. Whatever she says doesn't have to make sense as long as she's speaking to mindless zombies.

Logic and rational thinking have no place in RW pep rallies. Most of those people are there by invitation only or some other screening process. She could suggest burning Obama in effigy and they would go right along with it.

7. it's simple, really: stupid is as stupid does. and sarah does stupid superbly. n/t

8. Here's what my 93-year-old friend said about her today...

"Five years ago I wouldn't have liked Palin. But now? I'd do her. That just shows how much I've deteriorated mentally in the past five years."

11. lol! at least your friend is up to doing something! n/t

[lonestarnot]

9. She puts the pimple on simple.

12. "Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom to disagree with Republicans"

"Now STFU and respect my authoritah"
