The issue is not specifically Palin's comments but rather how the AP article abused the quote and spun to mis-represent her position.

That is a serious abuse of Journalistic Power and serves to be more filled with Propoganda than news.

The story made it appear as though Palin was stating that this is God's will and that would cause anyone to cringe. How would she know what God's will is...does she have a direct line to Obama?

But seriously, reporting that misrepresents the truth is quite simply a lie. Yet, this type of reporting is very effective. But who does it serve...certainly not the people.

We certainly don't want the government to take over...but what would happen if the people set up a genuine group to monitor and educate the people on what is being reported?

Go back to that link again...http://www.howobamagotelected.com/...these are intelligent people who allowed the media misreresentation to fuel their opinions. Do you want the media to have that much power to stay unchecked?
