Former Alaska GOP Gov. Sarah Palin on Tuesday night declared that there is no ability or opportunity for the new Arizona immigration law to encourage racial profiling, and blamed Barack Obama for perpetuating this myth.
The new law allows police offices to stop anyone they suspect of being an illegal immigrant and ask to see documents proving their legal status. If the person cannot provide the documents, Arizona police now have the right to detain them until the federal government can prove they are legal.
Civil rights activists have decried the new law as racist, but Palin dismissed the attacks during an interview with Fox News Sean Hannity.
There is no ability or opportunity in there for the racial profiling, she said. Shame on the lame stream media again for turning this into something that it is not.
Palin then blamed the president for allowing the myth that the law allows racial profiling to take hold.
It's shameful, too, that the Obama administration has allowed...this to become more of a racial issue by perpetuating this myth that racial profiling is a part of this law, she said.

“The new law allows police offices to stop anyone they suspect of being an illegal immigrant and ask to see documents proving their legal status.”
NO, IT DOESN’T. But I’m not surprised to see politico /spit repeating this LIE.
She’s right.
I noticed thst, big goof on Palin’s part.
Also, the law does provide the opportunity for racial profiling, the trick is not do it. Personally, I don’t see how it won’t be perceived that way in this instance.

Um, the goof wasn’t on Palin’s part, it was on politico’s...
The Obama regime exists solely because it is racist
Obama IS a myth.
You nailed it, bert. The Dem PTB understood it would be better to have a Halfrican president than a Hitlery, for the reason that playing the race card furthers The Agenda much more quickly. I recently received a cartoon in e-mail. The bubble coming out of obama’s mouth read, “We don’t call them illegals; we call them undocumented Democrats.” Ta da: permanent majority.
Exactly.
Candidate Obama Supporters: “It’s TIME for a black man to President!”
Translation: “Prove to us you’re not racist, America. Vote for Obama BECAUSE he’s black and you OWE us.”
Illegal is not a race; it is criminal behavior.
“Also, the law does provide the opportunity for racial profiling, the trick is not do it.”
The law SPECIFICALLY states that racial profiling is NOT allowed! Read the actual text of the law before you make statements in public!
This law is the EXACT same as the Federal law: if lawfully contacted by the police, they can request proof of your citizenship! The only difference is that local cities cannot decide to ignore this law, just as they are doing today!
Please educate yourself beyond listening to the latest CBS telecast!
What a surprise.
Unfortuately for him, most Freepers are aware of the facts and will spike his bullcrap right back in his face.
Racial or ethnic? 54% of Hispanics self-describe themselves as white. There is no such race or ethnic group as Hispanic or Latino.
Colonel Obama hates Blacks, Whites, Mexicans and Jews and he really loves Arabs.
They are mostly white.
No-No BobJ is a supporter of Palin....I think he just got it wrong...that’s all
You're a funny guy...
