postheadericon Palin retweet could mean support for 'Don't ask' repeal

It's a familiar question with Sarah Palin: Does a retweet amount to an endorsement?

The former Alaska governor caused a mild stir on Monday when she retweeted a message critical of conservatives for their "hypocrisy" toward gays and lesbians.

The message referred to the repeal of the "Don't ask, don't tell" law banning gays and lesbians from openly serving in the military that was recently repealed by Congress, and was originally authored by lesbian conservative radio host and Palin fan Tammy Bruce. 

"[T]his hypocrisy is just truly too much. [Enough] already â€" the more someone complains about the homos the more we should look under their bed," Bruce wrote. 

Palin was, in the past, critical of efforts to repeal "DADT," so agreeing with Bruce could indicate a shift in her opinion.
