If someone has a Facebook account would you verify that the above comments are true.

I went to:

http://es-la.facebook.com/sarahpalin

and searched the "wall" on her facebook page. Searching for "moscow" and "good riddens" and "ridencance" found nothing. If these comments were there, I don't doubt that someone managing her face book page probably has the sense (or a policy) to delete such comments.

Oh, hang on. I was only searching what has been posted on the wall in the last 40 minutes. I'll do some more checking.

I checked everything on the wall (perhaps not hidden comments) for the last 24 hours. "Moscow" appeared twice but it was [not for*] the comment yours quoted. There doesn't seem to be any censorship for stupidity, crassness or lack of taste so it is very possible your quotes are correct.

Good luck finding them though. She has 800,000 supporters. Obama has over a million, but I might not have been on his main page. Put "Obama" in the search engine and found this:

Then I joined his group.

RADICAL RIGHT
The Right's 'Tenther' Constitution

In a recent Fox News interview, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) accused health care reform supporters of "forg[etting] what the Constitution says." Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC), who once called for his Party to defeat health reform because it will "break" President Obama, claimed that health reform violates the Tenth Amendment and urged state legislators and governors to "champion individual freedom" by resisting the bill. Numerous state lawmakers -- including secessionist Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) -- have struck a similar tone, endorsing "state sovereignty resolutions" that demand the federal government "cease and desist" enforcing many laws with which conservatives disagree.

THE 'TENTHER' AGENDA: In a nutshell, tenthers believe that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt led an illegal coup against the U.S. Constitution, exploiting the passions of the Depression Era to expand federal power to unconstitutional levels. Killing health reform is only the beginning of their agenda. Under the tenther constitution, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, federal education funding, the Veterans Affairs health system and the G.I. Bill are all illegal. The minimum wage, the requirement that employers pay overtime wages, and the ban on child labor are all beyond Congress' power to enact, and the federal ban on whites-only lunch counters is an unlawful encroachment on local business."

I guess the birthers, like millions of others in Vegas every year, have no qualms about throwing their money away.

It's an appropriate place for the billboard, then.
