Sarah Palin calls Obama "half white or half Black," wants him to "refudiate" NAACP

During a recent appearance on Sean Hannity’s show on FOX NEWS, in which she was pushing back at the NAACP’s resolution on teabagger* bigotry, Sarah Palin claimed that they didn’t care if President Obama is “half white or half Black.”

While Obama embraces his mixed parentage, he identifies himself as African American, not biracial, not “half white or half Black,” but African American. Folks who are biracial or of mixed heritage have every right to declare how they want to be identified and everyone else should respect their choice.

Make no mistake Palin meant this as a diss, a racial dog whistle, intended to defend teabaggers against charges of racism and other forms of bigotry, while at the same time reminding her like minded audience that he is not like them, he is different.

She is implying that white folks can’t be racist against some one who is “half white,” while at the same time reminding folks he is “half Black.” Let’s not forget that Palin’s buddy, radio host and pill popping bigot Rush Limbaugh refers to Obama as a “Halfrican American.” These references have a purpose and its not a celebration of Obama’s diverse background.

In the same interview Palin called on Obama to “refudiate,” (yeah the crazy lady made up the word “refudiate”) the NAACP for its resolution condemning the teabagger movement for the bigotry that is directed at Obama as well as others.

Think about that now, Palin wants Obama to “refudiate” (I guess that means repudiate) folks who are speaking out against the bigotry directed at him. Seriously?

Whenever the teabaggers get together the bigoted signs and rhetoric are not far behind. Lets not forget the time they called Congressman John Lewis, a civil rights hero, the “n-word,” spit on Congressman Emanuel Clever and called Congressman Barney Frank the “f-word,” all in one day.

The racially charged atmosphere that surrounds the teabaggers’ protest is just sickening. Whether its the picture of Obama dressed up like a witch doctor, Tea Party leader Dale Robertson carrying a sign with the “n-word” on it or the kid carrying a sign that says “Obamanomics: Monkey See/Monkey Spend,” its not surprising that many African Americans, including yours truly, as well as decent people of all backgrounds are alarmed by the overt racism on display at these events.

Rather than Palin pandering to her fellow teabaggers she needs to call them out, “refudiate” their bigotry, accept the NAACP’s resolution and challenge her friends to be above the bigotry that has defined their movement. Anything short of that is unacceptable, but sadly expected.

1. "Refudiate"?

:spray:

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

4. So he has to both..... refuse and.... repudiate them....... who the fuck knows I gave up trying to

make sense out of the the ramblings from Princess Dumbass from The North Woods.

[Botany]

8. Sarah has her own special language

Refudiate = refuse + repudiate

Good God in butter is she dumb.

[TwilightGardener]

12. Sometimes I wonder if she is deliberately playing up her Archie-Bunkerness, to

appeal to her dumbass-cretin crowd (remember her palm notes?)--and then I think, nah...she doesn't have to pretend she's one of them, she really IS one of them, no acting needed. It's all genuine, she really IS that dumb, and yet she's given endless attention (and therefore credibility) by the MSM. It's absurd.

[Botany]

14. She never saw Russia from Alaskan Land

She flunked out of the University of Idaho
She thinks that there is a country called Africa
Quit as mayor
Quit the Alaska Oil and Gas board
Quit as Governor
her kids are hell on wheels
but the media keeps hyping this bag of stupid who can't do one sit down interview w/ a reporter because she is so dumb

I hope she runs.

2. What the heck is refudiate?

That's not a word.

[louis-t]

3. You mean Sarah "I don't mess around with no black guys" Palin?

Sarah "too many Asians in Hawaii for me" Palin?

[Lilyeye]

52. I heard about the Hawaii comment, but the black guy comment is news to me. When was this said?

[louis-t]

63. Someone who knew her in Alaska overheard a conversation

between her and a person of color when she would have been high school-aged. Only hearsay. Sounds like her, though.

[leftofcool]

5. Obama should "repuse" to listen to Palin

[TwilightGardener]

11. And repusiate her.

[connecticut yankee]

6. To quote Keith Olbermann

That woman is an idiot!

[lob1]

7. Refudiate? She obviously meant "experpadude"

Edited to correctly spell experpadude.

[nilram]

37. I just googled. You are the only person on the entire internets to use that word.

You must be very smart.

[lob1]

42. Thank you. My hobby is making tea party signs.

[nilram]

44. lol

[geek tragedy]

9. Transcript please, so people

don't have to listen to her voice.

[SunsetDreams]

10. Yeah Sarah, I can see that happening in

3..2.. oh wait NOT!

[Brother Buzz]

13. Refudiate? I do believe Sarah darling is channeling Leo Gorcey

:rofl:

17. Bowery Boys, TCM every Saturday Morning... nt

[BrklynLiberal]

28. ROTFLAMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jberryhill]

15. She continues to prostitudiate her opinions /nt

[thelordofhell]

16. Half stupid woman making half assed statements

:spray:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

18. Pardon me while I repukiate.

It sounds like she's suggesting the NAACP is only supported by people of color. But I'd be willing to bet there are more white people who support the work of the NAACP than there are people of color who support the TP agenda.

[BrklynLiberal]

29. "repukiate" lolololololol

2/3 of this group was NOT African American.

[thereismore]

53. !

[Clio the Leo]

19. So!? Real Patriots dont need to talk good!

:sarcasm:

[trusty elf]

20. Half wit

[theothersnippywshrub]

21. Half wit and half shit. But nothing a little Fast Acting Turd Polish can't handle.

Shadow Dude is good with this stuff.

[bluedigger]

23. One more brain and she'd be a half-wit. n/t

[Cass]

22. She looks like a braying hyena in that pic. nt

[AspenRose]

24. Wow. Suddenly Americans want to repeal the one-drop rule that blacks

in this country have had no choice but to accept for centuries.

I think the "taxicab" rule should apply. And we know what Obama's result in that "taxicab" test was. Which is why he identifies the way he does.

[saracat]

25. Well I think the Crazy Palin loon needs "refumigation"!

to rid her of the evil spirits who undoubtely possess her!

[tanyev]

26. Betcha' FOX fixes the transcript.

[BrklynLiberal]

27. Ignorant slut

and that may be an insult to ignorant sluts...

[Proud Liberal Dem]

30. Who cares what that quitter has to say about anything?

Thankfully, President Obama doesn't either.

[Dr Morbius]

31. President Obama, meanwhile, will wisely ignore the psycho from the north.

And in your last line, I am sure you meant "by" instead of "but":

I refuse to defame a special moment in American history by comparing this ignorant band of blithering idiots to the true patriots who took part in the Boston Tea Party.

I am with you on this. I call them the T.P. people, T.P. as in bathroom tissue. You know: ass-wipes.

[JustAnotherGen]

32. She's Worthless

Just worthless.

[BrklynLiberal]

33. What is it about that pose that RWingnuts love so much?

[Saphire]

34. That woman....is an idiot.

[BootinUp]

36. If he has no race, then they can't be racists, see? nt

[southernyankeebelle]

39. What a bitch. Every southern I know think if you have just a drop of black blood in

you than you are black. Now this idiot tell the president what she wants him to do. What is she the new master.

[ProgressOnTheMove]

40. If SP repudiate the tea bags, we'll consider her idea. I think it's safe to think she won't.

[Zoeisright]

41. Christ, that woman is a fucking idiot.

And so is anyone who admires her. Just fucking stupid.

[cartach]

43. Couldn't agree more

with the content of the article and all the comments but quite frankly am getting pretty tired of reading all the repetitious comments. They amount to whining and complaining at this point because they don't offer concrete solutions or any plan of action.I can think of a few things I'd like to do but I'd probably be arrested. What is needed is leadership outside of the mainstream,an alternative to the Tea Party movement,and a definite list of goals to work on to counteract the enemy we all face. But all I see except for a bit of lip service is basically apathy and if that keeps up I'm afraid we'll find ourselves in the same boat as the citizens of Germany prior to WW11,it will be too late to do anything about it.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

45. Then you should check out the Coffee Party

http://www.coffeepartyusa.com/content/about-us

They haven't been organized quite as long as the TP people, but bit by bit we're hearing more about them in the news.

[JVS]

47. Refudiate= Refute + Repudiate! This is HUGH!

[bigdarryl]

48. She's so damn STUPID!!!!!!! she doesn't realize the NAACP has African American

Conservative members also

[AspenRose]

57. Kind of like the C-SPAN caller who was upset blacks were calling

on the Republican line. "It's BLACK-SPAN!"

Yeah, that'll attract more black people to the GOP, for sure. :rofl:

[saltpoint]

49. Just below the high-fashion statement of Palin's clothing

and physical personality, in the place where thoughtfulness and citizenship are supposed to be, is instead a tangle of veins in which run very bad blood.

This is a woman who uses children as theater props, blasts wolves out of the woods, and mocks community organizers.

That she is darting about the nation race-baiting the 2012 election is revolting but not all that surprising.

When she ego-drinks she's real mean.

[JoePhilly]

50. I think she is defused,

[ljm2002]

51. President Obama may be "half white or half black"...

...but unlike Ms. Palin, he is 100% human.

Egad, that woman is a piece of work.

[badgerpup]

54. Aw, fer cryin' out loud...

:eyes:
This woman is too stupid to live.
Bet she's got a teeny little implant in her head, constantly reminding her to
"Breathe in....breathe out. Breathe in...breathe out. Breathe in...."

She's mean, too.

[Raschel]

55. She's twitterpated.

[besdayz]

56. a

this is stupid politics for the repukes....why inflame middle america with this...

[wndycty]

58. She is just a divisive idiot

:kick:

[WI_DEM]

59. She's half moron, half jackass.

[tledford]

62. "Refute" and "repudiate" as channeled by Gertrude Stein. eom

[killbotfactory]

64. Is she the political equivilent of Andy Kaufman?

Palin's career as a politician is all some weird sick joke, right?
