Sarah Palin says the suspension of one of the stars of the show "Duck Dynasty" over recent anti-gay comments he made is an attack on free speech.

Palin re-posted a picture of her meeting with the stars of the A&E show on her Facebook page Wednesday night, writing that "intolerants" were behind the suspension of the show's patriarch, Phil Robertson.

    Sarah Palin is an irrelevant relic of the past and doesn't know what free speech means.

      May God get your sorry queer ass.

        God doesn't exist, darling.

    There are those career, habitual politicians who keep lingering around like a case of uncured clap.
