Sarah Palin To Speak At A Fundraiser For A Socialist Canadian Hospital
I apologize if this has already been posted. I haven't had much time to DU lately.

*****************************

According to the Hamilton Spectator, Sarah Palin has been contracted to speak at a fundraiser for the Juravinski Cancer Centre and St. Peter’s Hospital in Canada. “This is quite the coup,” said Gabe Macaluso, an organizer for the event.

Palin might be surprised to learn that the hospital she is fundraising for runs counter to her professed beliefs:

– St. Peter’s Hospital is a public hospital within the national Canadian healthcare system. In Palin’s worldview, universal, government-insured health care is “socialism.”

– St. Peter’s Hospital performs abortions. Palin, a staunch anti-choice zealot, has protested outside of abortion clinics and has refused to denounce abortion clinic bombers as terrorists.

– St. Peter’s Hospital, through its Centre for Studies in Aging, offers “advanced directives.” Palin tried to derail health reform earlier this year by falsely labeling advanced directive reimbursements as “death panels.”

2. Isn't a fundraiser supposed to raise money?
I mean - how many people will actually pay to hear her up here? And then there is her speaking fee - because I am sure she is not doing it for free......

Whoever booked this is really really stupid.

4. Maybe if she was in a dunking booth over a shark tank
Then I might fork over some cash to toss a few balls her way.

7. True, she's not very reliable in the "real world". Posting on FACEBOOK seem to be her main passion
