Palin apologizes for patriot 'pro-America areas' comment

Posted: 04:31 PM ET

Palin apologized Tuesday for making the 'pro-America areas' comment.
(CNN) – Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin apologized Tuesday for any misunderstanding that resulted when she referred last week to the patriotic values of "the real America" and the "pro-America areas of this great nation."

Democrats and others immediately criticized Palin, alleging she was saying that some part of the country are more patriotic than others.

Palin denied that was her intention in an interview with CNN on Tuesday.

"I don't want that misunderstood," Palin said. "If that's the way it came across, I apologize."

Speaking at a fund-raiser in North Carolina, the Alaska governor said: "We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard-working, very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation."

Some one must have informed Secessionist Sarah that her cocky routine is a turn off.

You betcha.

1. Seems like there's a lot of apologizing going on today,

it apparenly makes sense when they say it and then they gotta roll it back.

I really think they have no idea how hateful and intollerant they are.

2. when one has a limited grasp of the English language and an equally limited vocabulary...

it becomes very easy to mis-communicate...

on the other hand, you wouldn't hire an idiot to build your rocket, now, would you?

3. She is not liked at all and NO apology is going to change that

unless she goes into psychotherapy and actively tries to change her personality.

4. Isn't this the first time she is actually apologizing for or explaining something

:wow:
Queen Sarah! You actually chose to address the concerns of the lowly cretin that dare question you!

5. America Can't Afford A Leader Who Will Flippantly Piss Off The World /nt

6. That's the stereotypical fake apology

"I'm sorry you were offended when I called you an asshole" is not apologizing for calling you an asshole.

7. No shit. Bullshit apology deserves all the scorn it gets.

8. I liked what Bill Maher said about this.......

he said the nice part about big cities is that they have a lot more voters!!!!

9. That's the "I'm sorry you thought I meant what I said" apology.

They're getting really good at it. It ranks right up there with the "I'm sorry if me speaking the truth hurts your feelings" non-apology they have also seemed to master.

10. Her vision of America doesn't include Alaska ...

11. She expects a "pass" for something as STUPID as that remark,

but then she relentlessly twists every utterance of Obama and Biden. :eyes:

12. Fuck her and fuck her "apology"

[noiretextatique]

13. palin and bachman are soooooo misunderstood

by the liberal "gotcha" media :eyes:

[Median Democrat]

14. What A Coincidence! Bachmann, Hayes, Palin, Pfotenhauer All Make The Same Mistake!

I guess we should not assume that this was a deliberate attempt to turn Americans on each other?

15. LOL! n/t

16. Hmm ... She actually uttered the words, "I apologize"?

She's still not qualified to be Governor, much less President, but this statement, alone, makes her better than * in my book.

Worst President Ever

Now why didn't we impeach him?
