These were collected from her speech comments:

*   Palin describes her husband as a proud member of the United Steel Workers Union.  Conservatives have hated labor unions since early in the industrial revolution.

*   Palin offers tribute to Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton, both Democrats, who are still hated and demonized by conservatives.

*   Palin credits Hillary Clinton with massive advancements on equal pay for equal work for women.  Massive advancements would not have been necessary without oppressive conservative opposition.

*   Palin mentions women winning the right to vote as a great milestone in American Democracy.  This measure was vigorously opposed by conservatives.

*   Palin offers Harry S. Truman, Democrat, as an example of a relatively unknown Vice-Presidential choice who not only became Commander-in-Chief but a distinguished chief executive who history has anointed as one of the all time best.   She leaves out that Truman was an Army Captain serving in Field Artillery combat in World War I and was chosen largely because of his experience as a U. S. Senator and a working advocate of Franklin D. Roosevelt's "New Deal".  She also leaves out that conservatives brutally attacked Truman every day that he was in office.

*   Palin sarcastically jokes about Barack Obama's community service and desire to heal the planet.  24 hours later from the same podium, John McCain challenged Americans to become involved in their communities and join with him to "heal the planet".

*   Palin mentioned something snide about Greek Columns being used as a backdrop for Barack Obama's speech while on the huge screen behind her was a photo of the Washington Monument, a classical Greek-Roman obelisk.

*   Palin promises advocacy for children with special needs.  Conservatives tend to call these people "bleeding heart liberals" and oppose federal funding for anything offering assistance to the needy.
