CONCORD, N.H. – Sarah Palin incorrectly calls Alaska's Kodiak Island the largest island in America in a Facebook post endorsing a Senate candidate in New Hampshire. The Big Island of Hawaii is about 440 square miles larger than Kodiak, where Palin and her family were headed Monday. In endorsing Republican candidate Kelly Ayotte (AY'-aht), Palin also strayed a bit from the facts in praising her for having "won" a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. As state attorney general, Ayotte defended a law requiring parental notification for teenagers seeking abortions. But it was repealed after the U.S. Supreme Court sent it back to a lower court. Ayotte is among seven candidates seeking the GOP nomination for the seat being vacated by Republican Sen. Judd Gregg. Rep. Paul Hodes is unopposed in the Democratic primary.

The Big Island of Hawaii is about 440 square miles larger than Kodiak Hawaii isn't in America, it is part of the United States. What dumbass wrote this article? What dumbass posted it?
Neither is Kodiak Island.
Neither is Kodiak Island. Really? Based on your knowledge of geography? Can you explain that?
Neither is Kodiak Island. *me* Really? Yes,really. Based on your knowledge of geography? Yup. Can you explain that? Of course. It's an off-shore island. Look at a map and see for yourself.
So are Long Island, Whidbey, Santa Cruz, Marsh, Johns, Mount Desert, Dauphin, Santa Rosa and Santa Catalina...too name a few. All American Islands.
Yup,and none of them are in America. They are all off-shore. Just like Hawaii.

Hawaii isn't America. It is part of the United States. The Hawaiian Islands are an archipelago of eight major islands, several atolls, numerous smaller islets, and undersea seamounts in the North Pacific Ocean. All of the islands I named are part of America .You need to brush up on your geography. You're confused about terminology.
