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."

After which follows unending posts of seething rage.
Dear Lurking ****-heads,
What exactly is in the citation that is so damning? It's true.
If it weren't true Obama wouldn't have thrown his racist pastor under the bus.
The fact is: you shit-tards say things and then you get angry when your words are quoted back to you. If you don't like having your words and actions cited then maybe its because you know you're doing wrong.

They really are a different species from us. I see not one thing wrong with the passage quoted above. Michelle said it, we all saw it. Then, Sarah gives her own thoughts on seeing a serviceman/woman in an airport. I get choked up, too.
Nothing to inspire endless seething rage.

One of my favorite lines next to "Scratch a liberal, find a fascist."

It's racist to point out other people's racism?
It takes a special, drug-induced kind of stupidity to arrive at that conclusion. The kind DU specializes in.
