FAILED 1/2 term former Governor adds "racist piece of shit" to her resume
PALIN HIGHLIGHTS RACE IN MICHELLE OBAMA ATTACK
Palin: Obama's Views Formed By Hearing So Many Rants Against 'White People'

Sarah Palin Slams Michelle Obama in Racially Charged Passage From New Book

In passages leaked from her forthcoming book America by Heart, Sarah Palin -- the erstwhile quitter governor of Alaska, who now, by all indications, fancies herself as President of the United States -- has taken another cheap shot at First Lady Michelle Obama.

In a passage on perceptions of racial inequality in the United States, Palin slams President Barack Obama, who, she asserts, "seems to believe" that "America -- at least America as it currently exists -- is a fundamentally unjust and unequal country."

And then she goes after Michelle Obama:

Certainly his wife expressed this view when she said during the 2008 campaign that she had never felt proud of her country until her husband started winning elections. In retrospect, I guess this shouldn't surprise us, since both of them spent almost two decades in the pews of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright's church listening to his rants against America and white people.


The passage -- coming on page 26 in a chapter entitled "We, the People" -- echoes remarks made by Palin on the eve of the midterm elections, at a rally in San Jose, California, at which point she mocked remarks made by Michelle Obama during the 2008 campaign: "You know, when I hear people say, or had said during the campaign that they've never been proud of America," Palin spat out. "Haven't they met anybody in uniform yet? I get tears in my eyes when I see that young man, that young woman, walking through the airport in uniform...you too... so proud to be American."

2. Keep it up bitch, keep spewing your hate. It only
appeals to a minority of the American people. It certainly is the farthest thing from what most American's
consider presidential.

21. My point is
Palin has said in the past that people should not be talking about her kids, then she turns around and talks about Malia (age 12) in her book.
If she expects her kids kept out of political discussion then she needs to also stop talking about other peoples kids.

10. As much as I hate the stupid hillbilly
that doesn't seem like negative comment about Malia at all.

16. Just wondering why you use the derogatory word hillbilly?
Tired of it in any fucking context anymore. It is as much a slur to part of this country as any. Alaskans are not hillbillies. Why alienate people? alerted

19. I think
Palin shouldn't mention their children at all. It's one thing to get asked by reporters and of course she'll have to answer, but the children should be completely off limits. Even if she didn't mention Malia in a bad light, you know some crazy lunatic will somehow take it out of context and probably say "Even Malia things her daddy is a bad president cause he didn't fix the oil spill quickly!" They are out there.

17. Whatcha Mean Add It...It's Been Inbred Into Her...
I'm sure as a young sappling Papa Heath told little Grifterella all about "colored people" rather than the birds and the bees. A person doesn't become a racist, just as one doesn't become a homophobe or moron overnight, this took years of "hard work". Hey...at least she's got something right.

And nary a peep from the corporate media, eh? Maybe a good thing, they'd probably let her make herself into the victim again.

18. She out-and-out misquotes Michelle,
who said it was the first time in her adult life that she had been really proud of her country.

Fox was playing the clip, at the time, with the word "really" scrubbed out to create the illusion that she meant something other than she actually did.

20. Keep digging, Sarah.
The more dirt you pile up around that hole you're digging will be thrown back on you tenfold if/when you decide to run for anything again.

22. And is anyone really surprised by this?
We've long known the whole teabagger movement is racist. This is just further proof.
