Sarah Palin, the racist

I would doubt the source, but that doesn't prove it's not true. Who knows? The McCain camp has been hiding her for some reason. Perhaps it's because of what comes out of her mouth when it's open? It would not surprise me if it was true; I flat out don't like the woman. I think McCain is a dotty old fool for selecting her to run with him. She has no idea what is going on, and has proved that several times already by saying stupid things. No, it wouldn't change my opinion of her. Yes, it does bother me. I noticed that someone said they would have to hear it themselves. Well, it would be a wonderful thing if everything a politician uttered were taped, but that is not the case. So saying that doesn't really fit. I think she is a self-righteous b*tch of Biblical proportions. But then, that's just my opinion. Wouldn't it have been nice if all these conservatives who want to play fair now would have felt the same way when all the ridiculous rumors were spread about Obama? It was ok with them then, even if half the things they believed and still believe (and are still posting here) came from some conservative blog or viral email. Now they want to play fair. lol I'll be voting for Obama/Biden come November. I hope the majority will have the good sense to do the same.

I don't know how much of that is true, but either way I don't like her for many various reasons. I don't really trust McCain either so it's no loss for me. I have a feeling that they're only in this for themselves, not the good of the country. They also seem to have little passion, unlike Obama, who seems to care.

I think it's an absolute outrage! I didn't have a very high opinion of her to begin with, or at least once I checked into her a bit and heard her more than once, but it certainly makes me dislike her even more. It bothers me, alright, and what really bothers me is that it won't bother some people in the least. Annie

I have no opinion of her yet, so this does not change my opinion. It does bother me to think of a racist person being in a leadership position. On the other hand, I am not taking the entire article at face value. Some of the statements were admittedly speculation, some I suspect to be speculation, and many were merely opinion. Face it, we are not going to find people who don't have people speaking badly about them, who disagree with what they do, and who will do what they can to put a negative spin on things because they don't like someone. I was concerned about the quote at the end that said "everyone who isn't aboriginal or Indian in Alaska talks that way." That is a pretty generalized and stereotypical statement and is really not fair to Alaskans. The person who said that is biased. I hate those kinds of generalizations because it is simply impossible to say with absolute certainty that it is true. People make those kinds of generalizations all the time not realizing that it makes them just as guilty as the people they are criticizing. If you look, you will find information that is equally negative about each and every candidate, because people will print it whether it is true or not, to try to sway public opinion their way. I'm not defending her or the statements she allegedly made. I'm just saying be objective and look at all sides.

I think it is more of the same "let's get Sarah" mentality. Until and only until someone has concrete proof I'll treat this one with a grain of salt. Most of what is being said has been proved to be either lies or half truths. It's way too easy to automatically believe something about someone when you want to. A lot harder to actually hunt out the truth.

There are so many reasons not to vote for her. One of the most interesting is that even the Republicans are afraid to let her be interviewed by the press. They don't know what she'll say. She is against everything I'm for. She is a very very scary barracuda.

Well, personally I am not sure where she lies in all of this. I just know that when there are people Praising her, I think if McCain and he win we are just going to keep the USA going downhill instead of change, and she will care even less about people who need the help even more. She is so inexperienced and so little is known about her. Why are they not letting her speak for herself? To blind people. I think her True colors will show in the Vice Presidential debates. I personally do not Trust her either.

Certainly, this article gives anyone reason to look into this further, but seriously, there is a big problem with the article's believability. Why would a racist marry a man who is part Yup'ik Indian?

Is there a legitimate source for this?

"So Sambo beat the b!tch!" If Sarah Palin speaks this way in public, I wonder what her private thoughts are. I know many people want Sarah Palin to be the first ever woman Vice President, but this isn't the right person. Not only is she very divisive, she's now appears to be a bigot. You have to dig deep down in your racist past to relive the era when words like "Sambo" were used. Sambo is a racial term for a person with African heritage in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is considered a racial slur in the US. She might have well said, "So the Nig--r beat the b!tch."I don't like this woman and never will. I hope everyone comes to their senses before putting this moron in such a powerful position. She can run roughshot over Alaskan natives, but she'll never be able to do that with America's vast and diverse population. And to think. This is the woman so many of you admire. Lloyd

I honestly do not know what to think about this. I am not too sure what to think about any of our remaining candidates, either though..

Yeah I kinda wish you had put a ? after the title too. But I've read all of the comments so far and I must say You are one of the most Open minded People I've seen on myLot. This is also one of the most civil discussions I've seen,too. You seem fair in your not judging this story too quickly. I don't think it's true. I'll say that right out front. The paradice blog is filled with racial slurs, "No wonder the vast sea of white, cheering faces at the Republican Convention went wild for Sarah:" I heard a similar comment from Randi Rhodes the day after the RNC opened. "They searched and searched and couldn't find a black person till they focused on the cameraman." (Reminds me of someone who said the only black people at the RNC are the help, back in 04). So I made it a point to watch that night and it couldn't have been More wrong. There were lots of Black people, women, black women, Asians, It looked like America. Bobby Jindal is the first Indian American Governor in American history but you don't hear much about him because he is a Republican. Condi Rice, Colin Powell, Allen Keyes, Lt.Col Allen West. All very successful Black people in the Republican party. Time/Warner, Am/EX, and Meryll Lynch Have all had Black CEO's. This is not the fifties or a hundred years ago, And there is Nothing that can be done about the past. Nothing. It's gone. We need to move forward. Democrats show up in your churches on election day and then preach Separation of Church and State the rest of time. Then they tell you that you can't compete in the job market without a little help. Someone remarked that "...the Repubs aren't racist, they're just 'anti-Affirmative Action!'" I think AA cheats black people. It's what Bush called the "Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations." He was being polite. Democrats don't seem to expect much of black people,except on election day. =) And do you want to talk about racism in Democrat party? Right now the person next in line for the WH after Nana Pelosi was a Grand Wizard of the KKK. Robert Byrd. "They adore the type, it's in their genetic code." This statement is the Epitome of racism. It should be in the dictionary as the definition of racism. See, the problem with racISM is that we are all the same race. Human. We all bleed red. Dr. MLKing said that we should judge each other by content of character not color of skin. This statement goes completely against that. It's also Self Defeating. The entire human race has about 99.99% of our DNA in common. So if it's in MY genes Pal, it's in yours,too. I read the letter from Anne Kilkenney: http://www.laprogressive.com/2008/09/03/about-sarah-palin/ And it seems like a load of malarkey that the left will use against her whether it's true or not. it might get her on a few talk shows. but it's all hearsay. this whole article is hearsay designed to get into the conversation, things that are true but can't be proven to be not true. It's been the in liberal playbook since the beginning. Most people won't believe it But a few will believe it so much they will never let it go. I also read about her supposedly Censoring Books at the library. I got news for you. Librarians, in all of their piety, are Professional Censors. That's what they do. If a library director doesn't want a book, he or she doesn't order it. They don't have to make a big deal out of it and sure someone can request that it be brought in or buy it and donate it but that doesn't mean it will ever make it to the shelf. I remember a few years back when I looked for a book by James Dobson, He had plenty of books out But the only book in our system wasn't By Dobson. It was ABOUT Dobson. And not at all favorable either. Just like this article.

What do I think of this? 1) Some blogger said it and it has not been verified by anyone else. So I dismiss it as being false. 2) Does this change my opinion of the woman? Absolutely not. Governor Palin is an awesome woman. 3) Does it bother me. What bothers me is that you would post this without finding out if it was true first. What bothers me is that people would right away believe something like this.

Smears! It angers me that they have gone after this strong woman with such statements and won't even give their full names! If they wanted to be credible, why not give their names. They are all out to try and stigmatize her name and ruin her reputation. Don't play into their game and let them rob you of the vote you was going to cast. Get out there, learn the truth and find out who is lying and who isn't. I've heard so many great things about this woman from people who really know here and especially a friend who lives in Alaska. He said they come no finer than Sarah Palin, and I think he is a guy who can be trusted to know if something was wrong with her. She's a strong Christian and some do not want her in the White House no matter what it takes to keep her out!

ok, so somebody said that somebody said that somebody said.......... No this doesn't change my view. Until I hear her say it, I do not believe that this is how that came down. People are continuously trying to knock her down. I think we are going to hear much worse before this is over. She is smart, qualified, and tenacious. They have to try to discredit her in another way...

Dude, you're using a myspace blog as a source. I mean, blogs are already useless as sources, but myspace blogs are even worse. I'd say they're like half a step up from DailyKOS. Either way the original claim came from a liberal blogger at the progressive curmodgeon. It's absolute garbage and the character "Lucille the waitress" was actually a fictional character.

I doubt any of this is true. I quoted what she allegedly said and not one credible source came up in the search. Therefore leading me to believe this is a lie. When people start creating lies it makes me want to vote republican. If it were true credible sources would have this information posted and it would be all over the television.

For all those that believe what is written in that blog and will use those statements to cloud their opinion of Sarah Palin, line up ... I have a bridge to sell ya.

shamsta19, Man, I am disappointed in you. I have read a lot of your posts and I have participated in a few, and this, in my opinion, is beneath you. You quote a blogger who is quoting another blogger on a statement that is so unbelievable that only those who are predisposed to dislike Mrs. Palin would believe it. In your replies to those that question the accuracy of the quote you say, "I don't 100% support it" (the blogger) but in your original post you say that this comment "changed your view" of her. Come on. Posting this type of post only furthers racism. I am not denying that it exists in some areas. I live in the south and I run across it often and I can only imagine what you have experienced, but let's focus the debate on REAL racism and not imagined racism. In my mind it is like the issue of health care. The politicians are crying about how we have to provide health care for all Americans when in fact 95% of people who want health care, already have it. (Remember not everyone wants a health care plan. Many who are young and healthy prefer to pay as they go.)You can not find support from those who already have adequate health care plans. If they would shift the debate to the real issue, and that's the 5% that need health care, they would be able to find much more support. They are trying to get support for the wrong problem. Fix the real problem, the 5% who want it and don't have it. I see racism the same way. There is enough real racism out there that we don't have to focus on fantasy racism. If we can take our eyes off of the positioning of Rev. Jackson and the sensationalism of Rev. Sharpton, we can focus on the real racism that exists in real America. These leaders take our eyes off of the problem and make us focus on them and their political agenda. This article that you quote and the post that you started to the exact same thing.

You can not make a judgement of someone by a he said she said blog. People can blog anything in order to get the votes they want for the right candidate. Watch who your sources are.
