ABC News…your bias is showing

Shocking, I know.

Newsbusters story is here, and the transcript is here.

The money quote, I think (the bolded portions are the ones that were dropped from the interview):

PALIN: We have got to make sure that these weapons of mass destruction, that nuclear weapons are not given to those hands of Ahmadinejad, not that he would use them, but that he would allow terrorists to be able to use them. So we have got to put the pressure on Iran and we have got to count on our allies to help us, diplomatic pressure.

GIBSON: But, Governor, we’ve threatened greater sanctions against Iran for a long time. It hasn’t done any good. It hasn’t stemmed their nuclear program.

PALIN: We need to pursue those and we need to implement those. We cannot back off. We cannot just concede that, oh, gee, maybe they’re going to have nuclear weapons, what can we do about it. No way, not Americans. We do not have to stand for that.

Finally!  Someone who is going to say, and I quote, “No way, not Americans. We do not have to stand for that.”

On the plus side, I was approached by a woman at the gas station who told me “I love your (McCain/Palin) bumper sticker,” and went on a 5 minute tirade about how wrong the way she was being treated in the media.

H/T to Sebastian.
