Once again, the curmudgeonly Sarah Palin didn't let a holiday pass without reminding us that she has Facebook page. On Martin Luther King Day, she posted a response to President Obama's New Yorker interview where she called on him to honor MLK by not playing the race card. The president had said that his approval rating suffers because some people don't like the idea of having a black president.
Now her post doesn't rival some of her other holiday harangues, such as her book "Good Tidings and Great Joys," a how-to-guide to fighting back against the War on Christmas, or her Veteran's Day appearance on the "Today Show" where she railed against the Affordable Care Act for the millionth time. But it was a gem just the same: an offensive exploitation of racism by accusing the president of racism.
Palin forgets that Republicans have made great use of race-baiting rhetoric over the last six years, attacking the president and his policies with coded language connecting poverty to racial stereotypes. During his 2012 presidential run, Newt Gingrich argued blacks should demand jobs and not food stamps. More recently, Heritage Action attacked food stamps and Head Start as two programs that promote a culture of dependency, code words that imply African-Americans are lazy...

Jamie, I’ll keep saying this until it sinks in: I can think of three Obama appointees who are both white and (for now) former presidential candidates. And I don’t particularly respect them either. Biden and Kerry are comic relief, and Hillary got her people killed...but what difference at this point does it make?
Which they will, if we get many more Mexicans in the country .... all whining for the glories of "lost" New Mexico, California, Texas ..... viva Aztlan! Y abajo los gringos, mate los todos ayayayayayyyy!"
I'm waiting for the NWO PTB to flash the green light for a language- and ethnicity-based civil war in the U.S. which they can then "broker" to screw Norman Rockwell's America and get even for World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, and the Iraq War.

Meh. I’m white.
I can’t be expected to be anything but oppressive to non-whites.
Y’all dark people be funny.
Minority girl bleed alot?
Has U.S. News really sunk this low?
Liberals just can’t stand it when their own blatant racism is thrown back in their face..A cockroaches opinion is more important to me than this liberal lunatic
Obama's administration of the IRS rates FAIL even from a liberal like this one.
The advocate of using SPLC tags to cut people off tax preferments was actually advocated by someone else. The author of this article, Chandler, is replying to a Forbes writer's critique of the original idea, which was brought forward by a Georgia academic.

It ain’t your grandfather’s USN&WR and hasn’t been for some time. I remember when it was the most conservative & business-oriented of the three major news magazines, but that ship has sailed.
the curmudgeonly Sarah Palin
Well at least this “journalist” does not have an agenda......
And is dumber than a rock and not near as useful.
No one plays the race card more or better then Obama..
That’s such a great movie.

Geeeez, I forgot to ping her list till just now.
Liberals are clueless and arrogant in a very strange, illogical and suicidal way.
It never occurs to guys like this that their own speech comes across as hateful and slanderous to those at which it is directed. Moreover, their accusations of racism are typically based on their interpretation of so-called “code words,” rather than on any overtly racist content. And when people of their own political persuasion express overtly racist and sexist sentiments against conservative minorities and women, they are silent.
Yup, that's racist alright.
