Palin in Johnstown event.... what's the real story?
I can get WJAC on cable and wanted to see if anyone protested her visit on Oct. 11. Instead, I watched 8 minutes of fawning lead story about how much they "loved" her there. People stood in long lines, 500 were turned away, and they apparently packed the War Memorial arena with "hockey moms". She even referenced the Chiefs and "Slapshot." :eyes:

I was hoping that there would be some hardy democrats who went out and protested....? Please?

2. There was a video of "monkey man" circulating here, it showed him
outside of the war memorial. There were protestors across the street shouting "racist" at him. It made me feel better.

I grew up outside of Johnstown, what a bunch of rednecks. I get disgusted when I see people commenting on racism in the south. It's definitely alive and well in the north.
