The recent media blizzard surrounding Sarah Palin’s book tour has presented intrepid reporters with the opportunity to give her supporters a voice–and the results have been priceless. In this NewLeftMedia production, the crowd waiting for her book signing in Columbus, Ohio, presents their foreign and domestic policy expertise about as well as Palin herself, labeling spending cuts as "cap and trade" and asserting that Palin will have a tough time winning the election because of all the new votes that will result once President Obama naturalizes all the illegal immigrants. The facts might not be straight, but this video proves that for some, that misinformation is actually a reality.
