Palin's Noxious Ghostwriter - by Max Blumenthal

[Swede]

Vincent may have been an effective literary collaborator, but like Palin herself, she entered the project with considerable political baggage. Vincent’s commentaries for World are punctuated by inflammatory characterizations of gays, minorities and liberals that have already provided fodder for Palin’s critics. Among Vincent’s most strident statements were her description of homosexuality as a “deviant” mental disorder and labeling of President Barack Obama as the “face of the minority survivor” of abortion, which she dubbed the “Black Genocide.”

But it is Vincent’s association with Robert Stacy McCain that offers the clearest window into her far-right politics. Indeed, the only political book that Vincent has written in the first-person was done in collaboration with McCain. Published in 2005, Donkey Cons: Sex, Crime and Corruption in the Democratic Party was a compendium of misdeeds of and accusations against Democratic Party activists and leaders whipped up into an indictment of the party as irredeemably corrupt. Yet many of the authors’ charges proved false.

1. Palin complains: I didn't use a ghostwriter!

“Lynn Vincent is flesh and blood! She’s not a ghost at all. I couldn’t see through her or anything. And I wasn’t the least bit scared, like I usually am around ghosts (though not the Holy Ghost, which is technically the Holy Spirit, and not really a ghost, either). So why don’t you liberal media people try honoring the troops and tell the truth for a change?”

2. What, Ann Coulter wasn't available?

It just keeps getting better and better with these people doesn't it? And by better I mean much, much worse.

A real "whack-job's whack-job".

I went to his site once and I'm still trying to wash the stink off my brain.
