ABC: Palin and "Beyond Naive"
'Beyond Naïve'
Palin, Kissinger Split on Talks with Ahmadinejad

By TEDDY DAVIS, ARNAB DATTA, and RIGEL ANDERSON
September 25, 2008

During an interview with CBS News' Katie Couric which aired Thursday evening, Sarah Palin called Barack Obama "beyond naïve" for wanting to talk "without preconditions" to rogue leaders.

I think, with Ahmadinejad, personally, he is not one to negotiate with," said Palin, referring to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. "You can't just sit down with him with no preconditions being met."

"Barack Obama is so off base in his proclamation that he would meet with some of these leaders around our world who would seek to destroy America and that, and without preconditions being met," she continued. "That's beyond naïve. And it's beyond bad judgment."

Asked if she considers former Republican Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to be "naïve" for supporting talks without preconditions, Palin said, "I've never heard Henry Kissinger say, 'Yeah, I'll meet with these leaders without preconditions being met.'"

Palin was overlooking that Kissinger (with whom she met earlier this week) has backed negotiating directly with Iran over its nuclear program and other bilateral issues -- a point which Couric reconfirmed at the closer of her interview...

4. If she's never heard it, then that must be reality in her world
Her cozy, crazy little (narcissistic) world.

12. That is THE MARK of the truly ignorant: "Well, "I'VE never heard of that." And always said smugly.

11. They teach her the "Answers" not the Subject to be able to have an intelligent discussion
I think Palin is smrt err smart, she is surrounded by dummies

not defending her but it seems she is being taught Standard answers to questions
but she is not being taught about the subjects so she can have an intelligent conversation
and I am sure this is how McCain "studied for the debate" Watch I predict McLame is going to repeat the same response several times tonight, just like Palin does

13. "I've never heard Henry Kissinger say..."
Perhaps this moron should inform herself before going on national TV?
