    AatRB Sarah Palin wants to run the US by Biblical laws? She wouldn’t be allowed in politics & her daughter would have been stoned to death. Nice.

    TheKansan @VeteranAirborne The best Republican, Abe Lincoln, wouldn’t want anything to do with Sarah Palin. The real RINOS are the right wing nut jobs

On Sunday, Palin was only spared the wrath of angry tweets when her supporters became the subject of criticism.
