Shame on the Associated Press for Ignoring the Wishes of a Grieving FamilyOur take: Again, former Governor Palin shows moral leadership while the leftist-radical-in-chief plays golf after a long vacation. Not that he would dare to criticize his trained Democrat-Media Complex while it is licking his hand and wagging its tail for him.
Many of us join Secretary Gates in condemning the Associated Press for its heartless and selfish decision to turn its back on the wishes of a grieving family in order to exploit the tragic death of a true American hero.
Lance Corporal Joshua 'Bernie' Bernard was a selfless young American who sacrificed everything for our freedom.
Shame on the AP for purposely adding to the grieving family's pain. Ignoring the family's wishes by publishing a sacred image of their loved one proved a despicable and heartless act by the AP. The family said they didn't want the photo published. AP, you did it anyway, and you know it was an evil thing to do.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Bernard family. Words can not adequately express our sorrow and appreciation for your sacrifice. We will never forget your Marine or his fallen comrades.
May God bless the Bernard family.
-Sarah Palin

EVIL THING TO DO
ReplyDelete... unless the MSM learns its lesson, this one will go viral and explode like a missile bomb again.
I really admire Sarah Palin. She should have been the one sitting in the WH, not that impostor. Anyway, she's doing his work.
To Bernard's family, my sincerest condolence. May God bless you all.
Great Job Sarah, and Texas for Sarah, the AP has lost any credibility. They are a left wing support group.
