Sarah Palin Slams Michelle Obama in Racially Charged Passage From New Book


In passages leaked from her forthcoming book America by Heart, Sarah Palin -- the erstwhile quitter governor of Alaska, who now, by all indications, fancies herself as President of the United States -- has taken another cheap shot at First Lady Michelle Obama.

In a passage on perceptions of racial inequality in the United States, Palin slams President Barack Obama, who, she asserts, "seems to believe" that "America -- at least America as it currently exists -- is a fundamentally unjust and unequal country."

And then she goes after Michelle Obama:

Certainly his wife expressed this view when she said during the 2008 campaign that she had never felt proud of her country until her husband started winning elections. In retrospect, I guess this shouldn't surprise us, since both of them spent almost two decades in the pews of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright's church listening to his rants against America and white people.

1. What she is doing is

using Floyd Brown tactics on her opponents because she will lose on substance.

[saigon68]

26. She is a racist piece of Trailer Trash in an Armani suit

[polichick]

2. It's astounding that this stuff works with so many Americans in 2010! nt

[Grassy Knoll]

3. Slavery and the kkk is dead........

and people like square-a failin should not show
the public she is nothing more than a butt pickle.

[saigon68]

27. She is a butt plug

[onehandle]

4. no text following subject line

none whatsoever

[Proletariatprincess]

5. Must be nice to believe that your country is fair and equal....

of course, it is fantasy. I have never believed it...nor has any thinking person with eyes to see the injustice and unfairness around us all the time. I would bet Palin doesn't believe it either......she just doesn't care.

[PlanetBev]

6. Death rattle of the Right

I'm convinced they know they've lost the culture wars, and are desperately trying to claw their way out of the grave one last time. Dying People and things often rally before death.

The buzzards are circling the old order...loons like Sarah Palin will be consigned to the trash heap of history.

[defendandprotect]

7. Sarah is, as I recall, also quite vulnerable in her religious practices ....????

One of the things we need LEAST in government is organized patriarchal religion.

There is nothing that can be done under the influence of religious beliefs which

cannot be done without them!

In fact, too often, those religious beliefs have brought violence to every nation!

[truthisfreedom]

8. Michelle can easily retort... Sarah's a bitter quitter who will never win.

And she's only in it for the money. So far, the politicians she's supported and run with have lost... everything she touches turns to shit, politically.

[handmade34]

14. Michelle Obama

is one of the more intellegent, classy, women that I know... much too classy to even acknowledge Ms. Palin's ignorance

[RandySF]

9. Like mother, like daughters

Perfectly explains Willow's behavior earlier this week.

[AmerVoicesUnited]

24. You are so right!

When I heard that snippet today about Michelle Obama, I couldn't help but point out that same thing. I bet you will not hear a story of the Obama daughters leaving such hateful words on "facebook" or any other social website in the future. I haven't heard if the Obama's even allow their daughters to have such an account. Michelle is much more a woman and a true American with a heart and A LOT of integrity.

Has Palin even acknowledged the outrageous trash posted by her daughter? Or will she simply chalk it up to satire as she did when giving Limbaugh as pass on his comments about the Raum Emmanual incident with using the word "retard." Loved how Steven Colbert smacked her down on that one!!!

[Bette Noir]

10. I didn't think it was possible to reduce my opinion of Sarah Palin.

I was wrong.

[happygoluckytoyou]

11. hard to find a moral high-ground for someone who was humping her husbands business partner

[Bluesbreaker]

12. Palin doesn't have the brains to be what she wants

She wants to be an vicious attack dog like Ann Coulter, but unlike Coulter who is a shameless provocateur with a brain (and degrees from Cornell and Michigan Law School), Palin is just a shameless buffoon.

[Democat]

13. Does she mention whether she has a "black friend" who agrees?

I'm sure she must talk about an unnamed "black friend" somewhere in the book?

[Supply Side Jesus]

15. Says the wife of a known secessionist...

whatever...

[ck4829]

16. Certainly sounds like someone didn't get over the 2008 election, eh?

[maxrandb]

22. We should start calling her

"Sarah Sore-loserman"

[no_hypocrisy]

17. If that's the "best" Palin can do, then she's invalidated herself.

All she has is fallacies, not a substantive argument. In other words, throwing spaghetti at the wall to see if any of it sticks.

[nc4bo]

18. Better in a Christian church than a witch doctor. STFU Sarah, your stupid is showing, again. nt

[Roland99]

20. love the pic!

[nc4bo]

23. I'm digging your pics too! nt

[Javaman]

19. more from failins 8th grade rant "tell all" about her being cut from the cheerleading squad.

I think failin quitter has watched "Heathers" one to many times.

[Release The Hounds]

21. It couldn't have come from Rev Wright's pews

They're Muslim, remember Sarah?

[sally cat]

25. He never ranted against white people.

[jpak]

28. Churchy Spice should not taunt The First Mama Grizzlie

nope
