Alaskans Speak (In A Frightened Whisper): Palin Is “Racist, Sexist, Vindictive, And Mean”

September 5, 2008

“So Sambo beat the bitch!”

This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama’s win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination.

==========

Racial and ethnic slurs may be “just Alaska” and, clearly, they are common, everyday chatter for Palin.

Besides insulting Obama with a Step-N’-Fetch-It, “darkie musical” swipe, people who know her say she refers regularly to Alaska’s Aboriginal people as “Arctic Arabs” – how efficient, lumping two apparently undesirable groups into one ugly description – as well as the more colourful “mukluks” along with the totally unimaginative “f**king Eskimo’s,” according to a number of Alaskans and Wasillians interviewed for this article.

3. I they have hard evidence that should be circulated. Answers why she supported buchanan /nt

[jesus_of_suburbia]

4. Wow.. She's disgusting. Which I alread figured. Thanks for posting.

[Lucinda]

5. Doubt it. Everthing I'm reading says she was very Pro Obama.

[justiceischeap]

8. What people say publicly and behind closed doors/inner circle are often two

different things.

[Lucinda]

10. I see nothing that would support this. It's more crap that makes Dems look bad.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

We already know she's an anti-semite.

Hardly much of a stretch.

[Lucinda]

22. How do we know that? Because her pastor said something?

What has SHE said or done?

There is a huge pile of good lines of attack, thats what should be used.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

24. She attends a white supremacist church.

Why you're continuing to defend her is beyond me.

[Lucinda]

31. I'm TRYING to point out that its a waste of time if you dont have her saying anything.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

35. You sure are spending a lot of time...

whining about wastes of time.

[Lucinda]

39. Whatever. Poster after poster has tried to help. Knock yourself out! LOL

[butterfly77]

16. How does it make Dems look bad..

she said it..

[Lucinda]

Prove it. Till then its more unsubstantiated personal attacks.

And looks stupid and weak.

[butterfly77]

25. You prove she didn't

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

28. No kidding.

We know she goes to that white supremacist church, we've got witnesses saying she uses racist slurs, her running mate "hates gooks," seems to me the burden of proof is on those who say she isn't a bigot.

[Lucinda]

34. I don't have to. I'm not trying to make a line of attack against someone

without support. Not sure why that concept is difficult to understand...

[kwolf68]

36. You want this person to PROVE

Palin didn't say something? What theh hell kind of challenge is that?

[progressivebydesign]

21. did you actually read the article? Several sources say the same thing about her n/t

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

27. That's the point - it's apparently coming from multiple sources regarding multiple statements

over a period of time.

[Lucinda]

37. And several source say stuff about Obama. If you want to persue it

knock yourself out. There IS a market for unsubstantiated crap, but its very easy to diffuse. Facts are better. They take time to spin.

[babythunder]

48. Point to one

source that has ever quoted Obama using racial slurs? Please don't even compare the two of them you will look foolish.

[Overseas]

14. Somehow I missed the "everything" you're reading about her favoring Obama.

Perhaps if you cited two or three of the "everything I read" items, I could consider the possibility.

[No Elephants]

18. I haven't seen anything saying she was pro-Obama. Her MIL, maybe.

[kestrel91316]

44. I bet the RW floated some DISINFORMATION about her

favoring Obama. We already know they are all lies, all the time.

[monmouth]

6. This really needs to be put out there..somewhere. Disgusting...n/t

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

7. She's lucky that wasn't caught on tape

She can deny it. But eventually she'll slip and an unsuspected microphone is going to pick up even more racist language. I just hope she slips before the election and not afterwards.

[bkcc]

9. A racist Republican?!? Stop the presses!!!

Not even remotely surprising.

[sailor65]

11. Yup, and Obama is a Muslim, too

Until you see evidence, it's another tripwire.

Stick to the documented facts, there are enough of those already.

[babythunder]

49. So you

think that she should not be question about her possible racist views? And we wonder why the Democrats have lost two elections to a buffon this kind of soft-ball crap.

[sailor65]

50. No, I don't think that at all

but when the other side went after the Muslim thing they ended up looking entirely stupid. We don't need to risk that when there is so much more to solidly grab onto. That's my only point.

[babythunder]

51. See thats the difference

Rethugs will make things up and cheat which NO ONE on this board is advocating. But I am sure interested if Palin who could hold the second most powerful position in America government might be intolerant of groups that are not white Christians.

[Ian David]

12. You could have known that because she has an (R) next to her name for (R)acist. n/t

[avaistheone1]

13. Maybe there is something to the rumors her family may have had a connection to the Aryan nation when

they were living in Idaho.

[No Elephants]

17. Isn't her husband 1/10 Innuit?

[RobertSeattle]

29. 1/10th?

Maybe 1/8 or 1/16 but I don't think you can be 1/10 unless something really weird happened with your ancestors... :-)

[LisaL]

33. And if so, what difference does it make?

[kestrel91316]

45. I believe now that both the "favoring Obama"' and "part Inuit"

stories are DISINFORMATION: deliberate lies planted by the RW to make her white supremacist tendencies seem less plausible.

[apnu]

19. DUPE! See here

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=6952478&mesg_id=6952478

[gcomeau]

20. CAUTION!!!

Considering it's been reported that her husband is at least part Inuit this story raises red flags for me. Don't get suckered. There's nothing the McCain campaign would love more than to draw the blogosphere into a frenzy over a claim they can then slap down hard and convincingly and then proclaim to the world SEE!!! MEDIA BIAS AND LIES!!! THEY'RE TRYING TO DESTROY POOR SARAH!!!!

I would want to see a much more mainstream and solid source for this than an anonymous source in the laprogressive before everyone starts going crazy about it.

[Diane R]

23. I completely agree. Let's not fan the flames unless there is real evidence.

[LisaL]

32. I am not sure what her husband possibly being part Inuit

has to do with anything.

[TwilightGardener]

26. I would wait and see if a more reliable source can verify--can't take

this as Gospel.

[1corona4u]

30. I still say she's pissed because a black woman beat her in 1984...

I betcha.

[TheWraith]

38. Has anyone checked out this article?

I've never heard of the "LA Progressive," and I'd have to think that if there's credible sources that place these words in her mouth some other more established news organization would have it too.

[Cleita]

40. Unfortunately, the freepers will love her for this.

:-(

[Life Long Dem]

41. Is she mean? Or not? I don't think so. The same with her daughter.

The daughter probably didn't know people could be so mean until they met their attackers the last week.

[Nia Zuri]

42. This is hearsay...doubt it will go far

[Joanne98]

43. You mean you couldn't tell?

[scarface2004]

46. they had to scrub her speech to the rnc...

it was nigger organizer this, nigger organizer that. they got her to back off finally and go with 'community'!

[pointsoflight]

47. If only it was on tape.

She'd clearly be done, in that case. It's not going to go anywhere as one person's word against another's.
