There should be some sort of Read the Constitution Test

before getting placed on a Presidential ticket.

Palin's latest gem, as reported by the WSJ Law Blog. Apparently the media violates the First Amendment when they engage in unflattering coverage:

“If [the media] convince enough voters that that is negative campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations then I don’t know what the future of our country would be in terms of First Amendment rights and our ability to ask questions without fear of attacks by the mainstream media.”

Palin reportedly told WMAL that her criticism of Obama’s associations, such as those with Bill Ayers and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, shouldn’t be considered negative attacks. The media’s suggestions that it’s going negative may threaten a candidate’s free speech rights under the Constitution, she said.
