And her silence on Ann Coulters remark using the r word is telling. It all goes back to these people really don't like themselves and project their hatred on others because they don't like themselves.

That must be the reason why she is jumping in front of cameras again.

(Look for it soon on the clearance rack at your local Dollar Store)

"Our Sarah: Made in Alaska" tells the story of Caribou Barbie through the eyes of her father and brother.

Caribou Daddy and Caribou Brother chose to have their release party at Hastings in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and the strange thing is, no one bothered to tell the silly bastards Sarah was "made" forty miles north of here, in Sandpoint.

I read it and wondered, "Why would I care what the mother of some reality show contestant thinks."

Then I read the post and thought "Why would I care what..."

She is an idiot. Aside from being a racist. She should be ignored. She doesn't have an original thought in her
head and no insight to offer.

Eventually she'll have to go to real extremes to get another 5 seconds in the spotlight. I don't want to think about what those extremes might be.

I sat idly by during the recent tabloid headlines about "Learn the true secret behind Sarah's dramatic weight loss" but saw today's story and said "I'm going IN."

who is much different from themselves.

They also deliberately close their ears to anyone who doesn’t think the same way they do. As a result, they actually do not realize how shockingly racist and offensive such comments are, because those they interact with say similar things and do not react at all negatively when they hear anyone else say such things. (In fact, among those she hangs out with, she probably wins laughter and applause for such comments!)

The same thing happens with fools like Akin and Mourdock and their disgustingly insensitive remarks about rape. Everyone they know, everything they see, read, or hear, and everyone they talk to reinforces what that believe and says the same sorts of things they say. So when they say something in public that makes most of us recoil in horror, they are puzzled and hurt at the barrage of criticism that comes their way. That is one reason why their apologies are so inadequate. They can’t bring themselves to apologize for the horrible things they say, because they do not understand that such things are too horrible to say, nor do they understand why such things are too horrible to say and should never pass the lips of any decent human being.

I guarantee that Palin doesn’t know that she is racist and doesn’t understand that such a remark will certainly be condemned as racist, at least by everyone who is not a devoted fan of Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, an Rush Limbaugh. When she gets criticized for being racist and saying racist things, she will think we are just a bunch of “haters” who are picking on her. She won’t think she has said anything offensive or racist at all.
