Army bars Palin from bragging at Bragg

FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Sarah Palin brought her book-signing tour to North Carolina's Fort Bragg on Monday as thousands greeted the former Republican vice presidential candidate in a campaign-like gathering that tested military rules involving politicians.

The Department of Defense typically prohibits politicians from using installations as a platform, so Palin didn't give a speech and simply thanked soldiers individually. She was allowed to hold the event as a private citizen who was not campaigning, a Fort Bragg spokesman said.

Army officials initially feared the book signing might turn political and negative comments would be directed at President Barack Obama, so they barred media from attending. The Army later relented and allowed coverage, and many people who attended did voice their opposition to the commander in chief.

Palin's tour bus parked nearby, splashed with her photo, encouraged donations to her political action committee, while supporters made clear that she should run for president.

    • I just hope that people get off their butts again during the next election otherwise we may end up stuck with Sarah Palin as president.

      Oddly enough my Uncle who lives in Alaska sits next to the Palin clan at hockey games every year, they say she is a very nice and down to earth person however she completely lacks the experience needed to run our country.

    • She is going to raise tons of money to run for President, run but during the campaign drop out because one of her daughters is pregnant or sick. Her and Todd will be millionaires many times over as she is allowed under law to keep the extra. Keeping her in the spotlight this far ahead of the election will only help her stardom to fade. America is a fickle country another Sarah will come along and the teabaggers will jump ship. That is unless Todd gets caught with his pants down. Now that should be fun. A job for Monica.
