Can't post libelous item itself, but here's the link to same.

The left's shrill, hysterical panic, re: Sarah, continues.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Ping.

[SandRat]

The left is scared to death of her.

[steve86]

Sure didn’t seem very uncomfortable with my stepdaughter — practically hugged her right off the bat.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

The left is scared to death of her.

Yup.

[OpusatFR]

She doesn’t have a problem with Inuits. They are white aren’t they? /S

The left doesn’t get it yet, that she can fire at will with libel suits since she is not in office.

I hope she sues the pants off people or just ties them in knots through the judicial system.

[livius]

Gimme a break. If she’s from the West Coast, she’s quite familiar with Pacific Islanders, who are spread up and down the entire coast now.

[WalterSkinner]

..married to a man who is a quarter Eskimo—yeah, really uncomfortable...

[joinedafterattack]

The writer is an idiot. He also wrote an article titled "Ann Coulter, treasonous blonde." - By Sam Tanenhaus - Slate Magazine.>br>

When is the liberal MSM going to state that non-white women make Tiger uncomfortable?

[nomoremods]

So when Obama claims he’s uncomfortable with white people, to the point of calling his grandmother “a typical white person”, he’s lauded for being bold for revealing his troubled heart.

Yet, when an un-sourced quote is attributed to Palin’s father about her allegedly being uncomfortable around Asians when she was 18 years old, she’s a racist who must be destroyed?

[Atlas Sneezed]

Don’t waste 5 minutes looking for the paragrah. here’s what was written:

“She is equally circumspect on the issue of ethnicity, pointing out that Todd, whom she met in high school, is “part Yupik Eskimo” and opened her to the “social diversity” of Alaska. (Wasilla is more than eighty per cent white.)Palin, though notoriously ill-travelled outside the United States, did journey far to the first of the four colleges she attended, in Hawaii. She and a friend who went with her lasted only one semester. “Hawaii was a little too perfect,” Palin writes. “Perpetual sunshine isn’t necessarily conducive to serious academics for eighteen-year-old Alaska girls.” Perhaps not. But Palin’s father, Chuck Heath, gave a different account to Conroy and Walshe. According to him, the presence of so many Asians and Pacific Islanders made her uncomfortable: “They were a minority type thing and it wasn’t glamorous, so she came home.” In any case, Palin reports that she much preferred her last stop, the University of Idaho, “because it was much like Alaska yet still ‘Outside.’ ””

Beat me to it.

Sarah is pissing off ALL the right people.

You go girl!!

[EyeGuy]

“She doesn’t have a problem with Inuits.”

Indeed.

She is married to one.

"Left Tries Out New Anti-Palin Smear: Claiming Asians/Pacific Islanders "Make Her Uncomfortable""

So what?

I don't believe that for a moment, but even if it was true...so what?

Has Palin been recorded or taped, or even witnessed saying< "Asians/Pacific Islanders make me unconfortable."? I haven't seen it quoted, and I gravitate to almost everything I see regarding Sarah.

Where does the left come up with all this...do they have brainstorming sessions and give free marijuana cigarettes to those who come up with the best "bash Sarah" line of the day?

They seem to systematically pick different ethnic groups to chip away at any potiential voting bloc for Sarah...who has never even announced she's running for office yet...yet...yet...yet.

Most everybody who hears this daily whine about Sarah knows it's a crock of b.s. Those who believe any of it, probably are hard left liberals who wouldn't vote for her anyway, so all of their shrill hatred and made-up non-events are just pissing in the Mississippi hoping the water level will rise.

The cool part is, Sarah is like the "Everyready Bunny", she just keeps on going, and going, and going.....

It’s not “the left”, it’s Sam Tanenhaus and his helpers. Is he accurately representing the quote that’s in the book? If not, point it out in a way that Tanenhaus’ supporters will notice. And, hold those who repeat what he say accountable in a similar way. Many of the latter will have comments sections. First, someone needs to look at the book he’s quoting. Then, if he’s misleading his readers, point that out to them in order to reduce his credibility and send a message to others.

The LEFTIST, the CULT OF DECEPTION...

[RowdyFFC]

Just another gutless wonder liberal trying to ‘put the down’ on Sarah Palin. Their attempts get more wordy and pompass the more paranoic and desperate they get.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Yeah this is such a sack of garbage. I dont believe for 1 seconds that Chuck Heath said that. Those two “journalists” that worked for Fox News were never Palin fans

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

It’s not “the left”, it’s Sam Tanenhaus

An interesting distinction; but not, I think, a sustainable one.
