The “newsâ€? media and the nutroots are deliberately misrepresenting Dick Cheney’s Palin comments to ABC news. He did NOT (as claimed at the Huffington Post, Think Progress and other “legitimate” news outlets) â€?rebukeâ€? Palin, say she was “wrongâ€? or “take issueâ€? with her Iran comments. He merely said that such decisions should be made based on national security considerations rather than politics. Here’s the video:
Nor has Palin ever suggested that such decisions should be made based on politics. Her comment in the clip shown above came in response to a question concerning what might restore voter confidence in Obama. She said, among many other things, that getting tough on Iran would help. But, mark my words, in yet another attempt by the ”news” media to trash Palin, this Cheney interview will be repeatedly lied about about during the next 24-48 hours (probably for a week).

Listen closely to the set-up characterization to Cheney: “She’s of course talking about President Obama–seems to be implying that this would be a good political move.”
