Sarah Palin brands Barack and Michelle Obama ‘unpatriotic’ [and racist!]

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.

2008?! That's ancient history? Who remembers 2008? Come on. No one under age five remembers that far back. Sheesh. Get real.

WOOT!!!

I coined a phrase “vicious truthing” for something like this.

Perfect.

Good question, and it is a real one. The number of uninformed voters who subsist on platitudes and lies - indeed demand them - should not be underestimated.

Just warming up the 2012 Palin vs Obama rumble—

Or as I put it: “The Cougar is stalking the Weasel.”

The democrats use this stuff to relight their depressed voters.

This will continue because Obama is weak.

The content by Palin was very true though.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
