Update at 10:31 a.m.: Among those expected to attend today’s service is former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, who posted the following to her Facebook page this morning:


Todd and I are in Dallas today to attend Chris Kyle’s memorial and funeral service. I find it sad to see that flags aren’t flying at half staff for this American hero. We’re surrounded today by American patriots here in Texas – by Chris’ fellow veterans and active duty warriors. In honor of them, I hope our commander in chief pays his respects in some gesture of condolence for their comrade in arms who sacrificed so much to keep him and all of us safe.

We may never know to what extent Chris kept us free or how many lives he saved by his brave actions in the line of fire. But his fellow warriors know how important he was. My son Track couldn’t meet Chris when Todd and I first met him because Track was deployed to Iraq. Then when we got to know Chris even better, our son was deployed in Afghanistan. We’ve met a lot of people in recent years, and Track has been privileged to meet them as well. But he said about Chris, “Mom, he’s the ONE person in the entire world I would be star-struck to meet. He’s it.”

God bless this great warrior. Let us keep his wife and children in our prayers, and may we never forget him or his sacrifice.

1. I thought I smelled something nasty in the air today.

That unemployed former governor should go back to her own state and leave this one alone...it's messed up enough already.

2. To criticize the Commander in Chief in a time of war is out of bounds

Beyond the pale.

3. I can't stand that woman.

She's getting to be like W is for me. Completely intolerable.

4. comrade in arms? n/t

[Worried senior]

5. Some day when she's hunting

from a helicopter I hope she falls out.

[Cooley Hurd]

6. Was she invited? Or just shamlessly hamming for the cameras?

[Thinkingabout]

7. When you want a nothing to show up, arrange to have Sarah Palin. Between Dick Cheney

And Sarah I can not figure which is worse for the USA.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

8. Sarah WhosieWhatsie?

Who is this person of which you speak?

12. I love seeing "**FORMER** VPOTUS candidate" before her name

Much like the feeling I get read **FORMER** POTUS candidate before Romney's.

9. She does everything for show ..

Who goes on social media to let everyone know you were at a funeral or going to one? Does she attend the funeral services if all the hero's who died in battle or killed on domestic soil? Does she demand that flags are at half staff for any soldier? Hell no.Then she uses it to trash the POTUS. Such a media whore. She actually thinks she is going to pick and choose who the POTUS should pay his respects to.Fuck her and phoney outrage and phoney sympathy.

10. The sooner we start ignoring her, the sooner she disappears.

The GOP already has disowned her. Must we be so obsessed with her?

[sadbear]

11. They let Randy Travis out of jail to sing at the memorial?

What? He's not in jail? How's that possible?

14. Per local news here..

He pled guilty a few weeks ago and is doing the whole rehab/community service route...

Apparently the wife asked him to perform there since she said one of his songs had special meaning to her/her husband?

I know what you mean, though..our local media bombarded us with all of his escapades (it was rivaling breaking news with the Sanders' divorce proceedings at the time..ugh...our news was National Enquirer material there for a looonng time) so it was kinda odd to see him there when I saw the video on the news..then I read the article in the OP. I imagine they added the song info cuz so many people had the same thought..WHY is HE there?

[theKed]

13. I call bullshit

Like HELL her "war hero" son happened to glowingly praise someone who just happened to tragically die. Bullshit.

How do unemployed Alaskan women get so much press?

[CTyankee]

[farminator3000]
