On Wednesday’s Hardball, MSNBC host Chris Matthews hosted a discussion with Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker and Salon’s Joan Walsh as the trio discussed Parker’s latest column, “A Tip for the GOP: Look Away,” in which she argues that the Republican party is hurt by being centered in the South with its history of racial politics. Matthews, who would later theorize that Sarah Palin will exploit white racism by visiting “cul de sacs of whitedom,” set up the segment by reading a line from Parker’s column which compares Palin to a white character in Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mocking Bird who falsely accuses a black man of raping her, leading to his false conviction and death in prison. Matthews:
Here`s a quote that really grabbed me: “That same rage was on display again in the fall of 2008, but this time the frenzy was stimulated by a pretty gal with a mocking little wink. Sarah Palin may not have realized what she was doing. But southerners, weaned on Harper Lee, heard the dog whistle.” Kathleen, “heard the dog whistle.” Is Sarah Palin a poster girl for racism? Yes or no?
Parker suggested that Palin is indeed a “poster girl for racism,” though “not consciously,” and alluded to white racism being incited by a white woman and black man being pitted against each other, as in Sarah Palin versus Barack Obama, or in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird. Parker:

No. However, Obama and Dr. Gates are.
Is Chrissie a poster boy for the mentally deranged
Is Chrisy the poster boy of ignorance?
.
Yes, he is!!!!!
Every time they go after Sarah, they hurt themselves and raise her up in the eyes and esteeem of everyday Americans.
"We face challenging times with some hell-bent on tearing down our nation by perpetuating pessimism and apologizing for America. They suggest that our best days were yesterdays. But how can this pessimism exist? Proof of our greatness and pride is all around us today. We produce proud and great volunteers who sacrifice everything for their country.SARAH'S FAREWELL SPEECH AS GOVERNOR - GREAT READ
"We can resist enslavement to big central government that crushes hope and opportunity. We must be wary of government largesse. It doesn’t come free and often accepting it takes away everything that is free. Melting into Washington’s powerful and caretaking arms will only lead to suck away the incentive to work hard and chart our own course. This will only contribute to an unstable economy and dizzying national debt, and it will make us less free.
"We don’t have to feel that we must beg an allowance from Washington – except to beg the allowance to be self-determined.
"See, in order to be self-sufficient (we) must be allowed to develop, to drill and build and climb to fulfill our promise! We can not start believing that government is the answer. It can’t make you happy or healthy or wealthy or wise. What can? It is the wisdom of the people and our families and our small businesses and industrious individuals. And it is God’s grace helping those who help themselves." - Sarah Palin, July 26, 2009
Sarah has now initiated her brilliant flanking manuever against the left, the DNC, the MSM and the RINOs that has them all in a frenzy wondering what her next move will be and how it will be perceived...and has them frothing at the mouth in their efforts to discredit her.
Sarah will now get her book out, go on tour, give speeches and promote conservatie principles all over this country in the midst of the Obama administration disaster and gain great political capital in the process. Then she will support conservative candidates in 2010 and help them win, amassing much more political capital. She will then take all of that and make an awesome, stunning run for the Presidency in 2012.
"...like that grizzly guards her cubs, as a mother naturally guards her own. I will keep that vow wherever the road may lead." -Sarah Palin, July 26, 2009
...and as to health care?
Pink shirts. Don’t insult the nazis.
Let it go Chrissy, you’re starting to sound like a stalker.
No, she is not. But Chris Mathews is the “poster boy” for white guilt.
Jealousy will eat you alive Chrissy!
I guess Parker forgets about Hillary.... the first whitewoman pitted against Obama.. and everyone else who voted for Hillary must be racist to use Parkers reasoning.
sounds like slander.
is it ok to now just start repeating that 0bama and Gates are both racists?
“If I ever catch her alone in the powder room, why—I’ll scratch her eyes out!”
Miss Chris
The mere act of being a white person is the equivalent of wearing a white hood and carrying a burning cross.
You are so tolerant to declare this.
Hey Chrissy... there is a blue light special for a brain at KMart... get it.
My tagline says it all.
What? That reaoning is so twisted that it resembles medieval witch trials where they threw the suspected witch in the river in a sack. If she died she was innocent, if she managed to escape and lived it was proof she was a witch so she was killed.
There is simply no reasoning with people who think like this.
Be fair. She did kill Michael Jackson after all.
Is Parker for real? This comparison has to be the stupidest I have ever encountered.
