Question: Do white people lower their heads in collective shame when they listen to Sarah Palin? Is there a moment where white folks shake their heads in mass and say to themselves, "Lord, I wish she weren't white?"

I doubt it, but I do know that when I come across vapid foolishness such as this I tend to point and snicker...;-)

Sarah Palin is also, last time I checked, a WOMAN.

Not only is the Left racist, they are also misogynist.

**The website is called “We Are Respectable Negroes”?**

Read a bunch of the comments after that article... after cleaning off the keyboard, I’ve come to one conclusion..
If that’s the way they want to think... I want Nothing to do with any of them.

She does have a “mixed-race” husband: Todd (and therefore all of her children, as well) are part Eskimo.

That’s my mistake. Cut & paste wasn’t working with the title.

Breathtaking that a racist democrat hack is not called out by the press.

What if some arrogant, but illiterate, blogger used the term “object lesson” in a title when he should have used “abject lesson”?

Of course Carol Moseley-Braun, Maxine Waters and Shelia Jackson-Lee each raise the IQ and tone of any room they enter. (Or was that leave?)

This is why Gov. Palin is feared by many:

her conservative/constitutional priorities which are...

God first, Family second, Service third, and self last.

This is a terrifying combination for those whose priorities are exactly opposite: self first, service second (career, job, etc.), family third, and any kind of god as a talking point. This being the value set for hardcore progressives, who actually probably only account for about 20% of our population!

They just seem like they are equal in number to conservatives because they are **well placed** in visual and vocal positions and they work in **unison** like all good communists do. They must operate as a **whole** in order to survive.

Look for matching messages...this article is following the same line as many others...the progressive line.

The majority of Americans at their core were raised with the first set of priorities, that’s about 65% of the population, however, about 35% of those have weakened their commitment to these. Hardcore progressives consider the weakened to be on their side.

In 2012—the only question which will need answered will be this:

A. Will you vote to continue the great American experiment

or

B. Will you vote to be part of a new progressive experiment with communist leanings?

If you share the values Conservatives share, you will vote A. If you share the progressive values, you will vote some approximation of B which includes RINO’s who have unclear leanings.

“The impenetrable stupidity of Sarah Palin knows no boundaries. She wallows in mediocrity.”

Which is she? Mediocre or stupid? I’ve always thought of mediocrity as being in the middle, so-so, ordinary, unexceptional, average, and so on, whereas stupidity is doubtless below average. What gives?

I’ve noticed a few sites seem able to disable “cut and paste”.

Gee, who is it that keeps electing idiots like Manny Cleaver, Barbara Lee, Maxine Waters, and “Queen of the DumbMasses,” Sheila Jackson Lee? Not Palin supporters, I think...

You must have had to look hard to dig up this obscure blogger who obviously has serious personal problems. I doubt anybody waits breathlessly to hear from him (yes, I looked Chauncey up and was surprised to discover that he was a him, not a her).

If Palin were Black and as circumspect as Obama and had Obama's team, she'd be president. She wouldn't need to be that much different than she is in her personal qualities. She'd just have to learn to make the noises the mainstream media wanted to hear and keep quiet the rest of the time and she'd be thought a genius.

If Palin were a typical African-American politician, she'd find a constituency, but not get any further than, say, Congresswoman. Certainly, Palin's already shown that she has more on the ball than Maxine Waters or Sheila Jackson-Lee or Carol Moseley Braun or Eddie Bernice Johnson.

But even a trashy blogger may hit on something once in a blue moon: If one likes Sarah and Bristol and feels for Bristol's problems, one would probably go easy on the Black illegitimacy thing, right? Say that these things happen in all kinds of families and not go out of one's way to stomp on that?

“When crazy white people bomb buildings, kill cops in the name of radical right wing politics, go on shooting rampages, or more generally just act like fools, it is never framed as a ‘White’ problem”

If I had a dime for every time I heard someone (black or otherwise) point out that serial killers and mass-shooters are always white—specifically white middle-class males—I’d have, like, a dollar. So there.

By the way, and for the record, serial and mass killing is a “black problem” too, though you’d be hard pressed to think of a media darling like Manson, Dahmer, or Bundy among their ranks. Remember the DC snipers? Neither do I. Ever heard of Coral Eugene Watts, Howard Arthur Allen, Jake Bird, Andre Crawford, Lorenzo Gilyard, Carlton Gary, or Chester Turner? Me neither.

Heck, the FBI even went so far as to include whiteness in the profile for serial killers. Which makes some sense, as since whites make up a majority of the population the average killer probably would be white. Alls I’m saying is, for the crazies that grab nationwide headlines (though not, I suppose, for day-to-day news and the publics general concept of Crime), blacks get off really, really, extremely easy. You shouldn’t complain.

Only the liberals. They are racist fools who would gladly give up their ability and responsibility to be individuals.
