Katherine Lopez at NRO is saying:
I'm surprised by how many people are content with believing an off-mic conversation rudely and unprofessionally put on YouTube is the full unvarnished final word from a commentator.
The conservative community is in all-out damage-control mode.
They know that Palin isn't going to help McCain win, but they are willing to pretend that she is and they are willing to silence one of their own in order to do so.
update:
I know that many of you aren't fond of clicking links to conservative webistes, but this story is worth it.
Thank You.
