Last night while leaving the Pennsylvania Family Institute’s dinner featuring Sarah Palin, protesters outside displayed signs that were more disturbing than any sign I’ve ever seen. I’m used to people carrying signs and demonstrating at events, I’ve even been the focus of such things. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if it is dead wrong, but there are boundaries for public discourse and last night they were crossed. What’s worse is that I didn’t see one word in the media about it. I could have missed a local story, but this should have been covered by the state-wide and national press. I’m sure it would have been if a Tea Party member did it or the roles were reversed and the dinner was benefiting a liberal organization. These signs didn’t have any text, just a picture, a color picture of Jesus Christ giving a hand gesture with his middle finger. What a disgusting and sac-religious display from those who don’t like Governor Palin and what she represents. Remember that this was a predominately Christian audience with a speaker who talked about her faith and the teachings thereof. These protesters are an embarrassment to our country and the press isn’t much better.
