Is Palin a RACIST ?

[bigdarryl]

I'm wondering because every time she goes to a rally there's crazy nut jobs there

[MaryEllen9399]

1. Yes She is

plus all mcsame supporters are racist too, and if they tell you they are not, they're lying.

[Buzz Clik]

2. Is Joe Biden a woman?

Every time I see him speak there are women in the audience.

[Terran]

39. Are you saying she's not?

Did you know she openly refused to hire any people of color in her administration as Governor of Alaska?

[Buzz Clik]

40. I'm saying (clearly) that one cannot judge the speaker based on the composition of the audience.

She may be a racist, but the presence of the KKK at her rallies would not be direct evidence or support for such an accusation.

Would you say the Hillary attracted some racists to her rallies in certain states? (she did) Is Hillary a racist?

[Terran]

55. Not disagreeing with you there.

However, Sarah Palin *is* a racist.

[jillan]

51. That's cuz he's hot.

;)

[JohnMcCant2008]

3. is this a rhetorical question?

[jberryhill]

13. Is what a rhetorical question?

[1Hippiechick]

4. Do bears sh*t in the woods? n/t

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

5. Yes, Virginia.

Palin is a racist.

[FLyellowdog]

6. In what respect, Charlie?

[Ozma]

10. LOL This question can always get a chuckle out of me!

[amber_86]

7. Yes she is

know why because she is mad because she didn't win the beauty contest a black woman did. So that's why she is racist.

[nini]

8. Of course.. you'd have to be to spew the crap she is

Why do you think those people love her so much??

[yardwork]

9. Ya think?

[TheCoxwain]

11. Hell Yeah ...If you dont think so ... then I want to smoke what you are smoking

She is about as racist as they come...

[City Lights]

All signs point to yes. nt

[Median Democrat]

12. I Think She Is An Equal Opportunity Idiot

[specialed]

14. Is the sky blue ?

[BadDog40]

15. I believe Palin is too narcissistic to be racist

People like her cannot see anything or anybody beyond their own SELF. People like her view other people as steps on a ladder, to be stepped on to achieve whatever it is they are attempting to gain. They don't care if that step is black or white.

[Morning Dew]

16. At the very least, she pals around with them.

nm

[rucky]

17. Yes, but we'll probably never get to prove that.

And look like alarmists when we bring it up.

Gawd I hate these fascists.

[EstimatedProphet]

18. Maybe, maybe not

I think there's a possibility that she's an opportunist instead. She's definitely using racist themes, but it may be because that is the easiest way to get attention. I think she really is just very self-absorbed.

[renie408]

19. Ya'THINK?? n/t

[steve2470]

20. she refuses to hire blacks in Alaska

I don't have the link in front of me, but I distinctly remember this.

[Blue_In_AK]

42. More significantly for Alaska's demographic

she seems to have an issue with Natives, having appointed Whites to positions that previously had been held by Native Alaskans. See, for instance, "Another Palin Personnel Problem" at AlaskaReal http://alaskareal.blogspot.com/2008/10/another-palin-personnel-problem.html.

Writing Raven, the proprietor of this blog, is Tlingit-Athabascan and has a unique perspective on Palin and the Natives.

[bunkerbuster1]

21. Define "racist."

Means a lot of things to a lot of people.

I tend to be very, very narrow in my use of the term myself; I'd like it to have some value and I tend not to cast it at everyone who's said/done things that are merely racially insensitive.

That's why I ask. What do you mean by "racist?"

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

23. A racist has different standards for white people than they do for black people.

Additionally, a racist supports an unqualified white person for a given job over a more qualified black person.

[bunkerbuster1]

26. Well, you're not the OP, and I was kinda hoping to hear from him/her...

but that's a reasonable standard. Has Palin done/been accused of doing what you've described? (I honestly hadn't heard.)

[Bad Thoughts]

30. A Racist uses racial and ethnic differences to gain power

Palin may support equal rights, but willing to use negative images of African-Americans to get to the White House.

[EFerrari]

22. She's a white supremacist. Does that qualify?

"Obama is not like us."

[bunkerbuster1]

27. Well, she and hubby "pal around" with white supremacists, sure.

Perhaps that's enough for her to be deemed "racist" by some. I think it's pretty odious to support the AIP, but I'm not sure that makes her a "racist."

And as for the lines in her speech, please. She doesn't write them. She does what she's bloody well told.

[EFerrari]

28. It's not only AIP. She's a dominionist and Assembly of God

In fact, try to find one social org she belongs to that doesn't swing that way. I couldn't.

[bunkerbuster1]

32. Eh, I dont know that fundie evangelicals are necessarily racist.

Ones I've known generally aren't.

[EFerrari]

37. Well, maybe you should read around about Assembly of God, for example.

Or, about Dominionists, like Eric Prince of Blackwater.

I was shocked, myself. The more you look at Palin, the worse she looks.

[Obamanaut]

24. Doggone, I'll check with first dude Toad, then git back to ya.

But, I really think yes, she is.

[Virginia Dare]

25. I'll put it to you this way..

I don't think she has any problem attacking Obama for the color of his skin.

[sammytko]

29. yes nt

[sad sally]

31. Palin seems to stir up the hate in people

[bunkerbuster1]

33. It's why she was hired, looks like.

[leftist.]

34. Easy question, easy answer - YES! n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

35. You betcha!

[mitchum]

36. Is snow cold?

[ipfilter]

38. Is it too windy to stack bee bees?

[Essene]

41. Probably, but i've seen no explicit evidence in it. Just implied assumptions she expresses.

[AZBlue]

43. "So Sambo beat the bitch?"

I'm going to go with a big "yes" on that.

[BklynChick]

44. ummmmm, yes!

[bobd0]

45. Doggone it, you betcha!

[ClayZ]

46. Birds of a feather, flock together!

K and R

[vaberella]

47. The Pastor Muthee thing makes me think, No. She's Strom Thurmond in heels.

She is ambitious and wants power that dominates all. That's why she will use ANY means necessary to ensure she wins the seat. It's not about race, or ethics, or honor, or values...it's about power and dominance---she will use her looks, sexuality, make any unethical connections, lies, deception...just anything to do it. So even if she's anti racism...it means nothing because she will use racist tactics to get ahead, that doesn't mean she's racist in the explicit sense.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

48. Oh, yeah, Strom Thurmond.

Well he sure wasn't a racist.

:crazy:

[vaberella]

53. Exactly. Although he was an advocate for racist ideology and thought.

He was just getting votes really. But people identified him as such and he believed strongly on segregation or so many people thought.

Then it comes to be known not only he has a half Black daughter but he was actually very loving and supportive of her. The daughter actually said, besides having a rather odd family life, he was proactive and a good father. Shocker of all shockers.

Palin is similar to him. Just someone who will use anything, no matter how deplorable, to get power or where they need to be.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

54. I'm being sarcastic.

Strom Thurmond was as racist as a human being can get.

[IsItJustMe]

49. She has some of those attributes.

[goodgd_yall]

50. If it talks like a racist,

it is a racist.

[kiranon]

52. She is now because she thinks it gets votes. Maybe not after Nov. 4.

She seems more an opportunist who wants to advance herself with anything that works. Not a person you would want to depend on for anything. And, she is very scary because she may have no limitations on what or who she will use to advance.

[political_Dem]

56. Yes. The Evidence supports the proof of her attitudes, language and behavior.

She's not just attacking Mr. Obama for her health. :sarcasm:
