Sarah Palin came to Wisconsin Friday to stump for Wisconsin Right to Life, but desperately opposed having a record of her remarks made public.



The rules were clear: No video recording, no audio recording, no strollers (why does Sarah hate children?), no phones, nada. Anyone coming to the event had to buy a ticket online ahead of time, and audience members had to pass through metal detector wands to ensure no one snuck in a contraband recording device. Or a stroller.

Well, that seemed like a challenge.

With the impending vote in Congress on health insurance hours away and coverage for reproductive rights under assault, One Wisconsin Now thought it critical to learn about what the right wing’s most influential intellectual voice had to say about this issue.

But we learned so much more.

For the first time, audio on the greatest threat facing America, its people and democracy.

Take it away, Sarah.

Editor's Note: The alarming change to change noted by the scholarly Palin, was done during the Bush administration, not in the less-than-one year of the Obama administration.

A transcript would be nice for those of us where we cannot view the video.

Here's the transcript of the clip:

Here's a little bit of change. A friend handed me a really pretty gold coin the other day, she got a _[handful of a lot?]____ of change from the car washing. She said "look at these new dollar coins," United States Treasury, beautiful, they're shiny and they're gold and they're worth a dollar and they're real, and she said "look really closely at it though," she says, "What's missing on our new dollar coin?" I'm looking at it and I'm comparing it to the old coin from just a few years ago, Sacajawea, she's on this one.

I see our motto, and I'm looking at the other coin "Where's 'In God We Trust'? Where did it go? It's not, I can't find it on the coin. She says "well look closely." I says, "there's our motto, our country's motto In God We Trust," it's been pushed to the edge, it's on the side now, on the edge of this coin you can't really see it and on this coin it started wearing off.

And I think, who calls a shot like that? Who makes a decision like that and we're Americans and we're going to let them aware [?] of something like that

Reminds me of something just tiny, sort of irrelevant to a lot of people but to me, it's a disturbing trend, it says something about [applause]. It worries me in my simple little world, in my simple way of speaking, things like this. It is a disturbing trend because it is In God We Trust in this country.
