No gloves necessary because we can agree to disagree. I've never claimed to know everything nor am I claiming to be right all the time. That said I do recognize a junk source when I see one and Thinkprogressive.org is hardly an objective source. What is your take on that website? Your opinion on the site will say loads about your objectivity.

To answer your question this is how I understood the conversation. There was a discussion which Palin make a statement that only abstinence can guarantee a teen won't get pregnant or an STD.

When it later was spun by the liberal media and her opponents she clarified her position which she clearly stated that she was for teaching abstinence along side birth control because not all teens would get that message at home.

That is how I understood her position.

Besides...It hardly matters if she flipped. Name ONE candidate running that has not flipped or flopped on one, two or three occasions.
