The National Report, a parody website that typically does a very good job hiding the fact that its stories are fake, put one over on Gawker’s Jezebel site on Thursday. Jezebel’s Erin Gloria Ryan posted an article under the headline “Sarah Palin Interviews Guy Who Calls the President ‘Nigger Hitler’” that was based entirely on the fake story.
According to the fake National Report account:
Less than five hours after the launch of The Sarah Palin Channel, the fledgling online subscription-based network has landed itself in a major controversy, after a person being interviewed by Palin herself repeatedly referred to President Barack Obama using the highly offensive “N” word.
The post goes on to print quotes from the fictional George Seymour, 58, a coal miner from Bowling Green, Kentucky, whose words seem to bear an intentional resemblance to the real Cliven Bundy.
“I hate that n*,” Seymour said angrily. “I call him `N* Hitler.’ He wants to stick everyone that don’t agree with him in concentration camps [and] make us wear the mark of the beast. He’s a Muslim, gay-loving n* Hitler and there’s not a day that goes by where I don’t wish he was dead or in jail.”
Palin seemed nonplussed with regards to Seymour’s incendiary comments. “[Laughing] well George, that’s the kind of honest opinion we’re looking for here on the Sarah Palin Channel. Unedited real talk from a real American like yourself is always welcome here.”
The National Report said that the video had been up on Palin’s new subscription-based channel for just under six hours before it was “taken down,” a fact that Jezebel repeated in its post. They even quoted liberal watchdog site Media Matters as predicting the video got between 9,000 and 15,000 views.
Like Michele Bachmann, whose history of saying outrageous things has made her an easy target for parody sites like this one, Palin’s has had enough controversial moments that perhaps the idea of her launching her channel in this way was not all that surprising. Just this week, sites like ThinkProgress, Crooks and Liars and DailyKos aggregated a story that originated on The National Report claiming that Bachmann wanted to erect “Americanization” labor camps for undocumented children.
As one Jezebel commenter said, “This is a plausible thing that she could have done. But, really, having the n-word spelled out in full in the title and then again in the body of the piece, all for a fake tip… yeah, this is bad even by Jezebethean standards.”
30 minutes after posting the article, Ryan updated it with the comment below:
[UPDATE: The site that reported on the interview is actually a parody site. Once again, my confirmation bias has led me astray. Consider me fooled, and chastened.]
The headline, which now reads “Sarah Palin Interviews Guy Who Calls the President ‘Hitler’ [Update]” was amended to remove the spelled out “n-word,” but for some reason not to indicate that the interview never actually happened.
UPDATE — 3:14 p.m. ET: It looks as though Jezebel has scrubbed the page entirely.
This isn’t surprising. Half the country can’t tell which quotes are from Sarah Palin and which ones are from Tina Fey’s impersonation of her.
Most libtards still believe Sarah Palin stated “I can see Russia from my house”. even though that came from Tina Fey doing an uncanny impersonation on SNL, so yeah, they’ll fall for this as well.
Used to be a time when Palin-hater types were permanently committed to nervous hospitals. Now they infest the media and Hollyweird.
However, what Low-Information Voter's think is what matters to the Lib's
Since we are talking about Hitler, He coined the Term "The Big Lie" when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously."
Basically, the Bigger the Lie, the more people will believe it.
Arnold Schwarsenegiggle bought it ...
Article still up.
Fake but accurate.
I prefer a term I made up early in his presidency:
Der Shvatze Fuhrer
The Hitler family is not amused
I don’t know if this is the same site (it’s not the same story) but someone said that some third rate Onion type site easily fools people into thinking it’s real by being totally un-funny.
Yeah, I think you are right about the country. If it can be done without bloodshed I’m all for it. I’ll move down south or out west if needed.
How about fifty separate nuclear powers?
No. A day is going to come when they are going to take our guns, haul us off to be executed, and buried en masse in unmarked graves. If you don’t believe me, just look at every government that has done it, and draw comparisons. Now I don’t believe Obama will do it, I think someone else will. Someone much worse will.
We can split the country down the middle as you say, but they’ll eventually come for it. One day in the not so distant future there’s gonna be a war, and it will be us vs them. There’s no way around it, the socialists want to kill every last true American, and someday they will try.
What Good Can a Handgun Do Against An Army?

Yep. Reality is perception, and perception is reality.
Agreed...
Now, who is up on arms over this "Very Offensive" word?
But hey, if you call me a Crackah I might laugh and shake my head.
The liberal immoral scum that are in charge right now want to kill you , me , and our families. For believing what we do. Be certain that soon a man or woman will take power that has been groomed to do that, Obama is the forerunner.
Step 1: Weaken America economically, culturally, and break the military.
Step 2: Once America is weakened, there will be an attack, possibly bio, chemical, or nuclear.
Step 3: Once the smoke clears the socialists will seize power, they will start rounding up guns, weapons, etc.
Step 4: Anyone that disagrees or gets in the way will be killed.
Step 5: Utopia???????
This is what these people want, they want the guns, someday they will get them, once they have them they’ll kill us. It’s been a long on-going process of moving the line a little further each decade since the end of WWII. American society has declined so much that whoever is pulling the strings was able to speed things along with Obama, which was a direct result of compliant media brainwashing the ignorant and 9/11. They can’t get what they want just yet. Which is a post American world. They will get it, someday. Because all our side does is bicker, fight, and kowtow to the enemy. Giving into almost everything they want. Gay marriage today, guns tomorrow, and first and second amendment rights are virtually gone. They are winning, and is it any wonder why?
It’s either fight them here now without bloodshed and win politically or fight later when we are disarmed. This can be accomplished by getting people into the Senate and WH that will expose the crimes, the people in our government who are islamic sympathizers. The evil that festers in DC. Don’t elect anyone that will not expose Obama, all his appointments, cabinet and friends.
