Sarah Palin takes her circus act back in the road and hits the NRA for yet another bronco busting vitriolic act.

Palin, a potential 2012 presidential candidate, told National Rifle Association members during their annual meeting that the only thing stopping Obama and his Democratic allies from trying to ban guns is political backlash.

She included so many other lies in her speech, but I don't have the energy to debunk them all. Who does?
