ABC News reports:

In a conservative radio interview that aired in Washington, D.C.
Friday morning, Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin
said she fears her First Amendment rights may be threatened by "attacks"
from reporters who suggest she is engaging in a negative campaign
against Barack Obama.


Palin told WMAL-AM that her criticism of Obama's associations, like
those with 1960s radical Bill Ayers and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, should
not be considered negative attacks. Rather, for reporters or columnists
to suggest that it is going negative may constitute an attack that
threatens a candidate's free speech rights under the Constitution, Palin
said.

"If [the media] convince enough voters that that is negative
campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations," Palin
told host Chris Plante, "then I don't know what the future of our
country would be in terms of First Amendment rights and our ability to
ask questions without fear of attacks by the mainstream media."

D'oh. Palin thinks the First Amendment protects her from tough questions
from the media.

What a foching ditz this woman is.
