London: Sarah Palin has branded US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle `unpatriotic' and `racist'.
In leaked extracts of her new book, Palin delves into the minefield of racial politics, arguing that Mr Obama is among those who regarded the conservative tea party movement as racially prejudiced and who thinks, "America is a fundamentally unjust and unequal country," reports the Telegraph.
To back it up with evidence, she dredged up a quote from a 2008 campaign speech in which Mrs Obama said, "For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country".
Palin went on to say: "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."
In America By Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith and Flag, Palin characterised the First Lady as only being proud "when her husband started winning elections".
The attack is likely to deepen the impression that the former Alaska governor is too divisive a figure to win the presidency.
Too divisive or too honest?
“The attack is likely to deepen the impression that the former Alaska governor is too divisive a figure to win the presidency.”
As opposed to the uniter in the WH, I was saying through bitterly clenched teeth, my gun and bible balanced in my lap as I typed. Cripes. They replaced BDS with PDS.
honest and refreshing
The contents of her book are ‘embargoed’ until released next week, so there is no way of telling if the writer of this article is a thief (i.e. he stole a copy), a liar (i.e. he promised not to release the contents and did so anyway), or just made up the quotes.
I fail to see the 'devisiveness' in this comment - rather it is merely a recanting of historical fact. It's not Sarah's problem if some people would rather stick their heads in the sand and pretend reality isn't really there.
I coined a phrase “vicious truthing” for something like this.
Um....I’ve been saying the same thing for 2 years now....and not one reporter has come to my door.
Too easy... Too honest. hussein insane and his wifey are the most un-patriotic {expletives} to ever infest the WH. I guarantee you hussein wouldn't spit on the sidewalk to save a soldier's life. M. obama seems to hate America and all that America stands for. Can't wait to get them out of the WH in 2013. Jan 20 is coming...
So has Rush, Hannity, Savage and 100,000 bloggers. It’s not about the claim, it’s about Gov. Palin and keeping her out of the White House...
That was my tongue-in-cheek point sir. ;-)
“She ‘dredged’ up a quote from 2008...”
No bias there...
Anyone who wants to have a chance of beating Obama had better be divisive. If they are only a little different from him, they will lose.
Just love that ‘dredged up’
After all it was a quote from decades ago and should not have been remarked upon.

Well said.
When he employed the phrase "fundamentally transforming America" two years ago, that's precisely what he meant. He has no intention of going quietly.
