Daily Gut: Sarah Palin’s Books Sales Prove We’re All Racists (Again)
by Greg Gutfeld
So apparently Sarah Palin sold over three hundred thousand copies of her book in one day – and as you can guess – they were all purchased by racists.
At least, that’s what the sociology professors over at MSNBC Community College believe. Check out Hardball guest Norah O’Donnell, impersonating a talking puffin…
“This is a largely white — almost no minorities in this crowd. And they`re here because they love Sarah Palin. I think it`s an emotional connection, Chris because they feel, too, that they`ve been beat up on, whether it`s the economy or they feel like outcasts. They like the outsider, if you will, in Sarah Palin. And that`s why people have been willing to wait, 1,500 of them, since 7:00 AM this morning to just get a glimpse of Sarah Palin.”
So let me get this straight: people appreciate Palin because they’ve been picked on by a big bully. It makes me wonder if Norah ever psycho-analyzed Obama supporters this closely… or called them “largely black.”
But hey, I guess that’s better than calling them a tribe or something. Chris?
“I think there is a tribal aspect to this thing, in other words, white vs. other people. I think she is very smart about this. Here she is on the issue of — of what happened down at Fort Hood, obviously, an ethnic issue, as many people see it..”
So, imagine for a moment, if during an Obama rally, Matthews described it as “tribal.” How fast would he be fired, and then ending up on Oprah issuing a tearful apology?
Boogla moogla, I might say.
Which is Greg-lingo, for “pretty fast.”
But here’s the real issue: I used to think this race-baiting tactic was a political ploy. But now I believe they mean it. They do think that if you’re against the policies of Obama, you must be racist. And that’s because in their profession, they don’t know anyone who’s against the policies of Obama! Surrounded by like-minded lackeys, they’re convinced that everyone beyond the tinted windows of their black cars must be card-carrying members of the Aryan Book Club.
The real truth: Whether it’s Norah O’Donnell or Chris Matthews – they’re just too scared to question a black man over policy.
And that’s authentic bigotry.
But what can you expect from a bunch of white people?
And if you disagree with me, then you’re probably a racist.
Tonight, another great lineup!

This O'Donnell skank also decided to 'gotcha' a 17-year-old girl in line:

MSNBC just doesn't care about being openly biased, because they know that Fox is ingrained in the culture as the only biased network.
I saw this segment (probably on Fox) and my jaw literally dropped. I'd ask how these people show their faces in public (meaning O'Donnell and Matthews) but they seriously don't realize they should be embarrassed. Incredible.
well, i've told all of my neighbors that i am a racist, because i do not support obama's policies. so now i am still a racist for listening, and liking what sarah palin has to say, fine with me. let me know when i am no longer a racist, i don't think i can go along to get along.
Another funny thing that nobody mentioned is that Grand Rapids, where this took place, is a largely white populated, pro Republican city. Now if they had come to Detroit for the book signing you might have seen more so-called "minorities" there. Wouldn't that have made the MSM's head blow up or do you think maybe they would have only shown them from the waist down?
You know what…__The liberal Media HATES Governor Palin.
They know what they did to our Country when they stacked the odds for Obama up to the whazoo. Their shameless partisanship -bordering in adoration- was disgusting.
It was even effeminate at times (like that fat dude experiencing crawling things up his rear each time he heard Obama).
The fact is that Governor Palin has more executive experience in one of her eyelashes that the Affirmative Action President has in his entire ‘messianic’ body, including the Teleprompter.
We the People are fing-tired of Washington and their corrupt people. The Dems dared to call us ‘astroturf’…We will send them back home as we already did in my home state of New Jersey.
Hollywood, the brainwashing Academia and the meretix News media know that Palin has the guts, the ability and the support or the Patriotic American people. If she want to she will go to Washington and clean up the mess that place is.
How do you like that!
Almost forgot, correct me if i'm wrong but didn't Palin support the original stimulis under Bush, not the 787billion one under Obama? If true than what does that MSNBC lackey think she is falsely reporting a smug gotcha moment with a teenager!!!! How classy

Of the 12 Chris Matthews television viewers, how many are black? I'd guess, hmmmm, NONE. What a dope. Shut that station down.
I wish I was shocked. Chris Matthews is a dolt of the highest order, he goes where the wind blows. Way back, when Hilary Clinton was in vogue, he criticized Obama's lack of experience however when the One gets the nomination he changes his tune. Now anytime anyone says differently of the current administration's policies they're racists. I wish he'd just shut up.
Well being from the Grand Rapids area, we still have loony liberals here. The mayor is a total buffoon. When the state voted down a proposition on the ballot in 2004, allowing universities to give more weight to minority students in regards to enrollment, the GR mayor said the universities should ignore the results. Thankfully he is just a figurehead and does not do any real city management duties.
But you are right, this is mostly a conservative area. One of the few bright spots in this state….

“ — of what happened down at Fort Hood, obviously, an ethnic issue, as many people see it..”
OK now I am disgusted with MAthews even more than I thought I could be after hearing about his leg tingling. Nidal Hassan is a terrrorist. He tried to contact Al Qeada to get emotional support to be able to commit his hateful act against his fellow Army soldiers. He did this to support the views of a sect of Islam that engages in Religious Supremacy (it's like white supremacy but it is those who attend the mosque that are better). And it is not just against Christians and Jews who are considered People of the Book by mainstream Islam. No it is against other sects of Islam as well.
Yet I am the Prejudiced one for denouncing him. Hey Mathews and this is the most polite response one can make to you. GFY.
The left gets a gold medal for mental gymnastics:
Black and women conservatives have Stockholm Syndrome (Janeane Garofalo quote), when Rush Limbaugh defends Clarence Thomas that doesn't refuse the racism charges because Thomas "doesn't represent 90% of black people (Bill Maher quote) and now these two dolts.
I now know why C. Mason Weaver calls it the "liberal plantation".
I highly doubt that Sarah Palin 'really' supported any bailout – be it TARP or Porkulus.
That dolt John McLame supported it. She had to more or less go along.
Like millions, I voted for Sarah Palin. McLame just got in my way.
I judge the President by the content of his character.
If it weren't for Sarah, I would have never voted for either McCain or Obama.
She is the only reason McCain got my vote.
…and the current one…has none.
Thanks Athiest I had seen part of that "interview". Is it just me or does everyone else just want to spit on a MSNBC reporter given the chance?
Ya read me like a book…
How is this hopey changey thingy going for ya?
Making it seem like all of Palin's supporters are white and implying racism is the way the democrats make sure black voters won't listen to her and get interested. They need them to stay right where they are. Wrapped around the democrat's little fingers. People like Kenneth Gladney truly alarm them. Their strategy will probably work, for the time being, but I don't think it will work forever.
So with this type of reasoning, does that now make Sammy Sosa a Palin supporter?
We already know for a fact that MSNBC will edit videotape to remove blacks from the conservative crowds, they have no credibility.
I didn't buy into it before, but I'm sure as hell hoping for change now.
Thanks Greg for pointing out the obvious, all white people are racist. It’s made it easier for me to cope with my whiteness. I attended a racist anonymous meeting, the only problem everybody was wearing white sheets, they kicked me out, …what’s a honkey to do?
I judge him by the size of his ears…….DUMBO.
"This is a largely white — almost no minorities in this crowd"
Sorry i just dont get it. how is that possible if there are "almost no minorities in this crowd" how would they be minorities. if you have a 1000 white people and 10 mexicans, the mexicans are still a minority and there is "almost no minorities in this crowd"
Following that logic,sorry , but it must be admitted then that anyone who voted for Obummer is a racist & those who voted against him are racists, so we're all racists, right? Then again with the logic, everyone is equal, right? Isn't that what all the "color blind society wanted?" So what's to bitch about?
Absolutely Matthews and O'Donnell are authentic bigotry. Get this- EVERY black person I know LOVES to be asked what they think about ANY policy, just like any non-black would! What gives with the liberal assumptions on what minorities think or feel? Poll a thousand people (black, white, asian, hispanic, whataever) and you get a general trend- ask a thousand people what they think and you'll get 1000 different answers.
Obama's white granny was a racists according to Barry.
The more threatened they feel, the zanier the rhetoric becomes from the Lame stream liberals. One post said shut them down, but that would be a mistake. One, they have a right guaranteed by the constitution to be and say the most stupid thing they want. Two, it is good to have a window in to the thought process, or lack thereof, of those that utter such garbage. Besides, it is entertaining and who else would be there to remind us how racist we are?
No it's not just you! I am not a proponent of spitting on anyone, but this video of O'Donnell makes me spitting mad.
They live in a bubble and rarely encounter anyone that disagrees with their positions. Plus they're obviously comfortable in denial, and have NO shame.
Nosmo King
Can't call me a racist; I only disagree with the half-white side of Obama.
Obama is a POLITICIAN, not a leader. Sarah Palin is a LEADER, not a politician.
Put me down for being a racist, too! Yeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwwwwww!
I hope you're right about the people pushing back like they did in NJ. It is a good sign, though! As for the rest of your post I agree 100%. BTW where in Jersey are you from? I lived in Piscataway for about 23 years.
Me too Bennett, and for the same reason you and Thomas_More do.
Well….she WAS a typical white person according to Barry. Who btw received NO criticism from Pravda media. However if Palin or any white politician used the term "typical black person." his career would die instantaneously.
If the shoe fits, then I'm a racist. I discriminate too! I chose this site over Huffington post. ;o)
http://www.eyeconshirts.com
And once again the color of skin comes up before the content of caricature even becomes visible and/or a question!!!!!!!! All "WHITE" (Apparently albino) (Liberals profiling the crowds) crowds flocking to someone they feel they trust to TELL THE TRUTH!!!!! The separatists are easily recognized as the "RACISTS", THEY ARE THE ONES THAT TRY TO DIVIDE, unless the crowds are for them, of course, then ALL IS IN HARMONY!!!!!!!!!! The "Pied Piper" is not a fairy tale, it is a WARNING!!!!!!!!
No where in the quote does either of these men say that this crowd is racist. They state the obvious which is that most of Palin's supporters are white. And being liberal I dont think disagreeing with Obama is racist but calling him a terrorist and other slanders is. So if a conservative has a legitimate concern about his tactics then it should be stated but when the conservatives resort to calling him names and going into his religious background, it should be understandable why we think some conservatives are racist.
I dont like Palin but I want to read her book, if only to know if she is really as stupid as she seemed during the campaign.
I plucked this comment off of an article written by Ellen Goodman about Sarah Palin. While the article was a bore, I did enjoy reading – no, more like savoring – this bright comment at the end of the article:
"KurtLarsen wrote:
PALIN is the sign and symbol of the imbecellity of our times: why would any listen to a woman who cannot speak in grammatically correct sentances? That this mental midget was the Vice Presidential nominee of a major party is terrifying and humiliating to any sane American.
Palin is nothing more than a cruder version of Bush – the guy who, having no other choice, navigates geopolitical complexities from the gut – and did so amtuerishly and stupidly. The more we learn about the secret assasination teams and extraordinary powers Cheney wielded behind the Looking Glass while therin picturing the Global Caliphate Monster to keep the peasants in line behind the Administration, the more it begins to look as if we may have only very narrowly avoided a US or Israeli led attack on Iran – which easily could have started WW III.
Palin is just a less (who would of thunk it possible?) intelligent, less able mediocrity whose appeal lies precisely in her belligerantly anti-intellectual pose. If Sarah can be President, as Ms. Goodman points out, anyone from Joe the Plumber on up can aspire to run the nation.
And I hate to be a snob, but you could give that woman a billion dollars and in the Righteous Rectitude of her Ignorant Prejudices and simplistic, mean-minded Faith her (low) class would still -like a herd of elephants restrained by a theater rope – out; and so the Beer guzzlers find a champion in their endless wars against the Sushi-eating legions of Haute Culture.
Obama wrote his own book, and is inclined in his spontaneous rhetoric to sentances composed of four or six clauses, each of the parts precise in thier meaning, and all of them in general working elegantly together to express sometimes the most subtle of meanings. If one can neither write, read, nor of the instant speak such sentances, than you are ipso facto -on the face of it, in the more common parlances- not qualified for High National Office; for when there are such capable intellects, why would we look to a lessor to be our Leader in our journeys through the Labyrinth of Modernity, which too often in its twisting turns and reflecting passages resembles nothing so much as a carnival's House of Mirrors?
Unless of course, brutalized and confused by the economic terrors the rich have made of our lives on The Wrong Side Of The Mirror, you're just happy to see any angry, white anti-intellectual stick it to the Washingtonian Man – that guy who is in truth -and so fittingly, and justly, in the Lookng Glass reality that in so deceiving, so enthralls you- the very guy sticking it to you by exporting your jobs, wildly profiting on the shoddy goods and services his buddys sell you,and turning your banks into casinos.
The last irony is that the Palinistas are as incapable as their Hero of reading the prose of this very comment.
The Detective In The Mirror"
Is anyone else here sick of Gutfield's racism?
He – like many others – likes to play the get-out-jail-free card that is the false accusation of racism; he even sticks it at the bottom of every article he posts here. A tongue-in-cheek rebuttal to all those who accuse him of being racist for criticising Obama
Only, nobody actually does that. People debate Obama's policies, sometimes agreeing, sometimes disagreeing. If you disagree… you disagree. That's it. Greg, on the other hand, has a worrying obsession with the colour of the president's skin, which is evident in every article he posts here. He may not be a racist in the ugliest sense, but he's a racist in the sense that he's incapable of thinking of Obama as anything other than a 'black man'. Not a man, a black man.
We've all moved on, Greg. Do you think you're capable of catching up?
republicans are racist azzholes and its sooo true!! this woman defends killing aplestinians so she can get jewish voters(cough cough joe lieberman)
caribou barbie is a fake a phony and a racist!!! thats why her books are sold in wal mart for 9 dollars. she lied in the interview with oprah numerous times!!!
u people aree dumb pricks to believe her!! if republicans had it their way we would still be in slavery times!!
republicans are why america is hated in the world,disgusting specimens.
and "individualist" u know nothing about Islam so stop speaking out ur azz!!
go get educated about the beauty of Islam..instead of getting ur info from fox news! most converts are from europe and north america! even after 9/11 when the media was spreading false lies about Islam people stillconverted in the thousands….ur hatred only strengthens muslim faith!
we dont blame christianity when the nazis started the holocaust,kkk(world's oldest terrorist group…lynched,raped,and hung blacks) priests molesting little boys..the list goes on with christian/jewish terrorism.
but u blame billions of muslims for the action of one? hmmmm
One thing that puzzles me: All this stuff from the "mainstream media" is crap, we know it and so does the majority of America, INCLUDING DEMOCRATS. So why do we still call them the "mainstream media"? They're not only in the tank for Obama, they're now carrying his love-child.
Let's see, if I, as a representative of the hated "White Class", oppose Obama's policies on economioc grounds, then I'm a racist and a bigot. And if Walter Williams (the smartesst guy in the world, in my book), a black guy, opposes Obama, then he's an Uncle Tom in the Obammunist Dictionary. So, where is free speech? So much for a Post-Racial president. I prefer the old "Post Turtle" analogy that's been going around on the internet myself..
Love your stuff, Greg!
Rosetta has been on this for about 2 years.
Check "thehostages.wordpress.com" and click the tab "rosetta the racist."
“I think there is a tribal aspect to this thing, in other words, white vs. other people."
Sounds to me like racism is strongly implied. What else would you take away from the statement "white vs. other people."?
I like!
I think that's a very astute observation.
I bought Palin's book. I'm seriously thinking of holding it in front of me while I walk down San Francisco's Market Street at high noon. I mean, what the hell? I'm unemployed and movies cost so much – so the chance of not spending anything to watch people's heads explode would be so much fun.
I am not sure "dallasgirl" has the ability to understand implication.
I guess Nora O'Donnell felt someone had to pick up the slack now that Susan Roesgen no longer works for CNN.
Yeah, the one who raised him after his own mother abandoned him … he is soo classy.
Not bad for a Serra Padre. Good work Gut.
Islam is a false religion. It did nothing but steal many of the characters from the Bible, twist it all into a pretzel, and presto! , a 'new' religion. Get your own characters. I believe the gangster rappers call it 'sampling, er stealing. The jews told Mohammad to buzz off, so this devilish character [Mohammad] put all the jew hating rubish in his 'religion'. Satan has always hated the People of the Book, so he had his minion [Mohammad] write this screed of jealousy, hate and confusion.
Islam is beauty of Lucifer. Lucifer, the most beautiful of angels, was tossed out of heaven like a drunk from a family reunion. To get back at God, he finds this moron, [Mohammad] to write some of his dementia into a book. Presto, ala kazam, [Islam] rears it's ugly head. [Mohammad] , was a demon posessed pedophile, not a good role model, you might say, but a perfect vessel for Lucifer to pour his poison unto the world. The Beauty of Islam, the Beauty of Evil. One and the same.
Do you kiss Bin Laden with that mouth?
Obbammies grandmammy? She's the racists.
"KurtLarsen wrote: PALIN is the sign and symbol of the imbecellity of our times: why would any listen to a woman who cannot speak in grammatically correct sentances?
Two things here. One, how is it that a "professional writer" cannot correctly spell "imbecility" and "sentences"? Didn't he spell-check his article?
Two: Obviously this Kurt Larsen person has never heard Obama speak without his TelePrompter.
Prose : Ordinary speech. Prose would not be elegant and subtle and with four or six clauses in it . It is ordinary speech. Buy a dictionary rube. We need a Leader not a effete poet. Obama's just a BIG PUSSY.
No, actually I blame the one for his actions.
However, the extremists are taking over Islam with their murders and jihads and I don't hear a whole lot of peaceful Muslims speaking out against it. If I understand correctly – and if I'm wrong, I'll admit it – it's against the Koran to speak out against another Muslim, so any Muslim who speaks out is an infidel and therefore also subject to a death sentence.
Whenever the Westboro Church people pull one of their stunts, there are plenty who condemn them. In my band, the leader/guitarist and the bassist are seriously heavy-duty Christians…and they think Fred Phelps is evil.
Keansburg, 'new joicey'…
What the crap?! I missed your mom last night! (I forgot to set the TiVo – please forgive me, Greg)
I guess we're a tribe like natives in Africa or Native American Indians? Tribes? These wizards of smart are stupidly hilarious!
Norah O Donnell needs to become the new Susan Roesgen. Please contact her whacky network and demand they pull her. I'd like to see her go buh-bye.
hanven't got much to work with, then, have you?
You know, it's funny that the Dems 'forget' that their Messiah, QUIT his Senate seat to run for president..couple that with the fact that he has NO experience doing anything but running criminal organizations like SEIU and ACORN , tell me again why HE was so qualified???????
hundreds of people in line and she picks out/picks on a teenager- what a gutless P.O.S.
Matthews and MSNBC: taking bias where no man has gone before. Simply atrocious.
I saw this report on OReilly the other night.
It shouldn't surprise me, but it still came off as weird. Here they are at a book-signing, and all they can do is count how many black people were there.
Once again the race-baiting twits of the left produce unintended consequences: It almost sounded like they were wondering why there weren't any black people at a book-signing!
Y'all are jackasses. Sarah is so lame it should be illegal.
I think he is pretty typical. He thinks "I am better than you and smarter than you" even though the facts do not bear that out.
Norah O'Donnell…here's an apt description considering her bias:
http://declubz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/1...
Hey Greg, you better be careful or else you may become one on the Worst Persons in the World.
There is a fine example of why all Tingle Matthews viewers could fit in a phone booth.
Didn't his black papa abandon him right off the bat? No wonder he has issues.
It would be very hard to find a book store in the city of Detroit. Nutzy
dude it was so funny. she was on fire and stumping her son. apples come from apple trees.
Is anyone else as stunned as I am that this twit doesn't know that Abraham Lincoln was a Republican or that he signed the Emancipation Proclamation freeing the slaves? Hmmmmm. Learn to spell, read a book, and get off my planet.
If you kill all the 'aplestinians' who will make the pies for Thansgiving?
Understand the implication but I wouldnt presume to say that means the people there were all racist. But I do know that the same people who supported her during the campaign are the same people whosupport her now. And during the campaign there were a lot of hate shown towards Obama because of his fathers muslim heritage. So I dont think the racism is towards black people. Not this time. Its toward Islam and anything foreign. Anything not American. And these Palin supporters are prone to the thinking that white = American, they forget that America is culturally very diverse and no one race should claim America.
Did u copy and paste that or did u type it? Sorry this article is very simple to understand and I agree. Anybody in office should be able to write their own book and not have to have a ghostwriter. So while I do not believe myself more intelligent than any Palin supporter, I do believe I am more informed about the issues of the world.
glad we agree
Republicans in those days are very different from republicans now. In fact there was a flip flop of the 2 parties and their values were changed drastically. Please read a book…
I blame the one also.
And I have heard lots of muslims speak out against those who commit the crimes in the name of Islam. Perhaps you are not listening.
And also the reason why McCain lost.
yes it does. no, that comment just ammused me.
O'Donnell and Matthews are absolutely correct in describing the appeal of Palin as they do. It is what evolutionary psychologist Dr. Kevin MacDonald calls implicit Whiteness. And, as Joe Sobran observed, the moving and living patterns of White liberals are indistinguishable from that of members of the Ku Klux Klan. According to the research of Harvard's Robert Putnam, ethnic diversity destroys social capital.
Much of the commentary in this thread could be summed up as: "I'm not a racist but…"
Also, it wouldn't surprise me if many of those that have commented here are worried about illegal immigration, that is, the fact that it is "illegal,", not the fact that it is the massive influx of non-White Third World populations. So, presumably, if only that it were legal, then there wouldn't be a problem. Well now, that is what Kevin MacDonald described as the conservatism of fools.
Here is the straight dope: If present trends persist long enough, our people will cease to exist. Any conservatism that does not conserve the stock of the folk that created the civilization it flows from is useless. Non-Whites will never give up their peoplehood to become deracinated "individuals", so, unilateral tribal disarmament is a suckers bet.
Eric Cartman told me that Norah O'Donnell is a bitch. I told him he was a racist misogynist, then I gave him a cookie.
Todd is like half Eskimo Ypikik or something like that. Only a true racist could marry a Native American, wait….
BS – he didn't lose as big as he could have if he had a different running mate, say one of the other Republican political hacks like his sycophant, Lindsay Graham. I voted for Sarah – not McVain, but would have tolerated him as the president had he gotten elected.
Maybe not a lot of folks other than white folks hang out at book stores…? For certain they do not sell Colt 45, fried chicken, or tacos there. Didn't see anyone stealing any books, not violent and angry confrontation, and now one looted or burned down the store…..hmmmm.
Hey Chris…how'se that leg tingle organsm for the messiah boy going these days…still a lotta hope and change? How are your popularity ratings handing in there…anything like the ole Keith and Rachel and Ed ratings….maybe you need to go join with Letterman…you know, the I am a real American so all the rest of you can just FY!
Oh, we're so sorry we ruffled your feathers O supercilious memsahib. We didn't mean to be uppity. We just didn't realize that you were so superior to all of us knuckledraggers here on BH and that we should bow down to your condescending, august and so well-informed presence. Please tell us what to do next after you get your own marching orders from your superiors.
I copied it and pasted. If it were my own words and errors it would not be nearly as funny.
How do you come to the conclusion that you are more informed on world issues than Palin? Do you think you know more about world issues than Obama? Why (on both accounts)? How about Biden?

Who voted for segregation and against integration bills into the '60s and '70s? Who still have as a figurehead in the Senate a Grand Kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan? Pot, kettle, black?

Perhaps you should read more than one book yourself on the subject?
dallasgirl,
I'm wondering what universe you live in. You see, I did not support President Obama as a presidential candidate, but I did not, do not and will never "hate" him in the way you mean. People like you have redefined "hate" and "racism" to mean "anyone who doesn't like President Obama or disagrees with his policies/agenda" and I'm just not going to tolerate that anymore. I will stand up for myself and my personal opinion with the likes of you. As for Sarah Palin, it amuses me that people like you continue to believe the myth/lie of the MSM that Sarah Palin is "dumb". She is anything but that. She scares people like you because she has figured out how to have a family and a career, and she does it with style and grace. She speaks her mind, and woman who does that is anathema to those who want everyone to "toe the line" and "go along to get along". That frightens you. Good.
Scuffle,
You must live in the same universe as dallasgirl, a completely different one from my own. To this day, my liberal "friends" call me "racist" when I dare to state that I don't like President Obama's position on national health care or the stimulus package or whatever. When I express displeasure over his obsequeous bowing to other world leaders, especially those who hold no love or even tolerance for America, I am labeled "racist". It's impossible to move on when the left side of the aisle won't let you.
And I also blame the one. But I've also heard lots of muslims applaud the crimes, to include some leading imams and world leaders. Every time there's some kind of terrorist attack on our country, you have them celebrating and dancing in the streets. But to characterize the majority of Islamic reaction in this country, I'd go with deafening silence. How does one interpret that?
Carolyn, you may want to bring a video camera to document the physical assaults you will undoubtedly endure. And I'm not kidding.
Wow. That was really an erudite, intelligent, thought-provoking comment.
I wouldn't give him credit for any type of leadership roles in the past – wasn't he just an attorney for SEIU and ACORN?
California Dave I think you are right but that is the fault of the media not the Islam population. And Cardianl Fang, I think I would interpret that as this has now turned into a war and when they feel like they have won a battle they cheer. I dont condone this war so I dont condone that behavior but perhaps they feel that they are being attacked and have been for decades and they are retaliating.
You wouldn't get the cuffs of your pants wet by walking in the ocean of his soul.
Today I vote with the Dems back then I would have voted with the Republicans. And I have read plenty of books, thanks.
Why are you calling me a memsahib? Is something wrong with you? I am not saying that I'm superior to anybody only that I am more aware of the world in general than the average Palin supporter. This is true because Palin supporters seem to only be worried America. They still think we only live in America. And I believe we live in the world. And we as American should not assume we are better than everyone else. We have made that mistake before. Its not neccessary to repeat it.
"La Guillotine shall claim her bloody prize"
Then he has spelling and grammar issues. I dont know if I am more aware of the world than Palin. I said Palin supporter. As for Biden, he is an idiot. And I respect Obama for what he stand for and I do believe he is very aware of the world issues.
Not to mention the oh-so clever name, hours of thought must have gone into coming up with that one. If his mommy finds out he used such words he will probably have to sit in a corner.
Ok did you even read what I said? I dont thinkdisagreeing with Obama is racist. If you are not racist against any race, then you are not racist. I disagree with Obama on certain subjects and I am not racist. But like I said some people, perhaps not you, use racist tactics when refering to Obama. Like when that lady said Obama was an Arab lduring a McCain speech like being of arabic descent is a bad thing. That is where this racist remark comes in. Like I said before most people are not racist towards black people. They are now racist towards Islam. Its still racism even though its acceptable.
And as forPalin, she does not scare me. I have a family and I'm very successful in my career. Its more how she comes across in her interviews that makes me believe that she is a little bit unaware of the issues. The global issues.
I have no problem you speaking your mind. But please dont try to tell me what I fear or do not fear, you are not me. I do not tell you what you are or not are.
Memsahib: Formerly in India, a term of respect used of a European married woman, though I didn't mean to infer that you were European or married. Gee, sorry to have insulted your femininity (I take it you are based on your screen name), but I meant it as a term of our subservience to your high-and-mightiness. Here you are lecturing all of us on how we should act and think, and you don't think that you're coming off as superior? If you don't it can only be because you actually believe that you're de facto superior to all of us or at least far more intelligent and that I won't abide. I would say that yes, the USA is part of the world community, but it isn't subservient to them as you and the rest of the Dims seem to wish it to be. I believe in peace through strength, not counting on everyone liking us and counting on our good will for everyone to leave us alone, because they won't – see examples of that in the Clinton and Carter administrations.
I know what memsahib means because I am of Indian descent. Its a term used to illustrate the superiority of the European woman over that of the Indian woman and I never wish to be called that.
I do not believe we should consider ourselves subservient to anybody but our opinions are not the only ones that matter. And perhaps we should start out by leaving everyone else alone. Then maybe we wont have to worry about people targeting us to war with. Contrary to popular belief we are at war today because we had a hand in starting it. We want to go in and save those we like and then we are surprised when those we went against are now against us. Please dont give a d#$% if the rest of the world likes us but they should respect us and that respect is gone because of the last presidency.
Attack the messenger, all liberals know how to do.
If its American Pie and Red,White,Blue.
Liberals say it ain't good for you !
You do realize this is a commentary site, don't you?
If personal commentary bothers you, then you need to go…because you are making personal commentary about Palin's awareness over global issues…
The tu quoque argument has no weight here…sorry…
I guess if you've never actually been in a city you'd have no way of anticipating this, but people who live in San Francisco — and New York and Chicago and Seattle and Los Angeles and St. Lous and all the rest — are used to dealing with homeless people begging for change, drunks lying in doorways, lunatics screaming on street corners, preachers shouting out prayers, petitioners collecting signatures, sign twirlers hawking condos and used cars, and who knows how many other strangers desperate for attention. The way most people deal with them is to ignore them.
Which is what will happen to Carolyn. Sorry, Carolyn, no one will care. So why not just read the book?
Glad I got the definition correct, then. As you wish, I won't call you that again, but I stand by my perception that you feel you know better than all of us knuckledraggers. So, you're an isolationist and a 9/11 apologist as well as an archtypical liberal. Unfortunately, no matter how successful we might be in playing nice with everybody else, there are always evil people out there that are ready, willing and able to take everything we have for themselves, to include our lives and liberty. You can't hide under the covers or wring your hands and wish them away. Respect is earned through good will, yes, but also (and mostly) with steely resolve and the strength to back up that resolve, based on the principles this country was founded upon. That can't be compromised and the bedrock principles can't be changed on a whim, like our current fearless leader is trying to do.
Would that be the granny that says he was born in Kenya ?
Well, that explains a whole lot of things…
Awareness is not equivalent to competence…
I think this place is a little too competent for you…
LOL they can't nobody wants to work for that network.
Their rating are falling faster than weight of Obama's AIDS ridden body.
In Matthews case also little brains.
You did actually say you knew more about world issues than Palin. BUT now that I have read your reply, your post makes perfect sense to me. Thanks for clearing that up.

Why are statist libs so deliberately obtuse?
Sarah Palin is very popular. She expresses ideas that are attracting greater and greater crowds…
The statist libs mouthpiece MSM, failing to find any but the tiniest disagreements in her book, even throughsuch exhaustive fact checking that would leave Obama's and Gore's books a smoldering ashpile, (or insert your favorite pile here), are now resorting to skin color classification of her audiences to salve their abject consternation over her popularity…
The greatest fear of the statist libs? Someone might come along who desires to free EVERYONE from the "rope and chains" of state dependency and kowtowing, to enjoy freedom and the blessings of liberty, to sit under their own fig tree on their own land and properties, and bend no knee to anyone except in prayer…
To choose what they want, when they want it, and where they wish to get it…for choice abounds in free society…
One would think those of other ethnicities seek the same, and even though they may not all be at Palin's signings, they would enjoy the same benefits as those that go to them…for the human spirit shouts from within all of us to be free…
Those that do not understand that are beyond evil, for shackling the freeman or woman in service to the state fundamentally stands against the yearning of the soul…
"Its more how she comes across in her interviews that makes me believe that she is a little bit unaware of the issues. The global issues." Oh, right. Totally unbiased interviews like the one Katie Couric conducted, right? Right. Again, you choose to believe the myth/lie rather than doing the research to find other interviews, video and printed, that show her grasp of the global picture because that doesn't fit with your already-made-up mind's determination. As for me telling you who are or are not, your words paint your own portrait.
How did I miss the name? Mea culpa! That confirms it: his original comment is the product of a 13-year-old. And I fell for it. Silly me.
Soooo…. your denying that they're being portrayed as racists, and then calling them racist, But not against black people, just against everyone that isn't white? You do understand the meaning of the word Racism, don't you?
Is Pumps the go-go bar still open?
The reason she is selling so many books is Republicans can read.
No, dear dippy dallasgirl, they didn't flip flop. Until the '60s, the Democrats were the party of Jim Crow. LBJ made a very cunning gamble with his drive to get the Civil Rights Act, and the ONLY party that was against it was the Democratic one. Please read a real book–one with covers and pages and a title and an author…
Reality must be very painful for you, poor thing. Since the MSNBCers were the one who brought up race, the people who disagree are…the racists? Ow! It hurt you again.
You are not helping. Go back to your Klan meeting and leave the people who can think, both conservative and liberal, alone.
Islam isn't a race. And neither is "anything foreign".
Perhaps you mean xenophobic?
The majority vote, thats what.
funny, not the approach i would have taken but i dont see why she is getting so much attention myself. She is the main reason McCain lost so many voters.
racist
In 20 years in the book business, I never sawe a book signign that WASN'T almost exclusively white!
O'Donnell just described the makeup of any Barnes & Noble in America. . . .
These double standards are amazing.
According to MSNBC, if whites identify with a politician who just happens to have the same skin color as they do, then they must be racist. But, with everyone else, it's okay.
When I saw this, I thought of the comment made by Obama's new ( black and liberal) head of the EPA during an interview with CNN. She stated that she wanted to see "more people who LOOK LIKE ME" in the EPA and other government positions.
Can you imagine if Sarah Palin, or any other white political figure made a comment like that?
It's not the Democratic Party, it's the Democratic Plantation. From now on, the latter is how I will refer to it. I recommend everyone do the same.
Popularity does not translate into leadership experience. And I'm sure that his dwindling poll numbers are proving that many who voted for him are now wondering what they were thinking when they flipped that lever.
I don't know – better to ignore the lib media – I think that Matthews et al LOVES the publicity every time they say something outrageous. Better to simply pretend they don't exist – maybe they will just….go away -
Say what you want, Palin is a base oppurtunist and liar. Remember when she proudly claimed
her daughters pregnancy is ok because she plans to marry? Yeah, right.
She wrote a book? Are you kidding me? She's barely literate.
It's sad the state of American education and simple-mindedness have brought a once-great
country to a Bush, and now, a Palin. Can Donald Duck be far behind?
I don't think personal commentary bothers her. Rather, I think she has a hard time with coherency.
That's three posts now and I still can't make sense of what she is saying.
Closet white racists like Chris Matthews and Norah O'donnell will always come out for the black racist, like the black racist pig Obama.
It is obvious from O'Donnel's interview qwith the 12-year old, that the kid was smarter that O'Donnell.
Say, I wonder if O'Donnell sleeps with Matthews, what a frightening visual. A fat newsreader and a hairy broad.
and a small weiner
Go away you freak
And don't forget-she's much hotter than the hairy-legged bull dykes running the National Organization for Women.
If you're asking how I like having Obama as president, I like it a lot better than having Bush as president, thanks for asking.
Maybe they never called Obama supporters "largely black" because they weren't. They were a broad section of the population, in fact the majority as he won the election, remember that? Palin's supporters on the other hand are mostly white, like the commenters on this site, and the republican party. Those are just plain facts.
We didn't…
SO, when someone finally gets the right bright idea, and nukes the Muslims of the Middle East off the planet, you won't mind if everyone in Kansas City dances in the streets, following your logic…
God, liberals are SO stupid…
Read upthread: most voted because Palin was on the ticket…and a lot of conservatives stayed home rather than vote for a RINO Republican, hero status or not…
That lesson has been driven home by the health-care bill…they'll turn out next election. Add to that the entire lobby of senior citizens that just got screwed by all that "rope and chains"…
Unless you are to the right of Ronald Wilson Reagan the Beneficent… the (I) in a candidate's name is only going to be a convenient place to aim at…as you pull the trigger of the ballot and retire a tremendous part of the current Congress…
If you haven't noticed…she's not in charge of ANYTHING. Nor is she in charge of the country right now…
WHY in Gods name are you hating on her so much? What is she to you, or how is she hurting you?
Why are you so hateful and frightened of some woman from Alaska that wrote a book? Is her scrotum bigger and more manly than yours? Does she remind you of your mother that told you to grow up and become useful in society rather than hide in the basement and write vicious unsubstantiated rumors?
I bet your upset that she's more man than you'll ever be…and more woman than you'll ever get…
"To choose what they want, when they want it, and where they wish to achieve it…for choice abounds in free society…"
Unless, of course, you are a homosexual, or have become pregnant without wishing to, or in any other respect wish for freedoms which don't line up "traditional" morality.
Neither side really believes in FREEDOM, it's all just a question of which made-up construct they want you to be subserviant to. For liberals it's "the greater good," for conservatives it's "morality," but it all means the same basic thing.
Why do you hate her so much? Because she has a daughter that got pregnant?? Good lord man do you know how many girls are pregnant in this country?? Even Obama said that if one of his girls got pregnant he 'wouldn't want her to be saddled with a mistake for the rest of her life'…yeah, that mindset is so much better!! What makes her a liar?? Why do you keep saying she is illiterate?? Obama went to Harvard…still he is the most clueless person on the planet who cannot run the country without surrounding himself with 'Czars', commies, Mao lovers and tax cheat criminals…yeah, he is so intelligent he can't make a decision as to whether to bring the troops home from Afghanistan or to send more…all he does is travel the world letting our enemies know how weak we are…
Yes, a very large portion were in fact, black..the massive amounts that ACORN bussed to the polls to vote, had never before bothered to get involved with politics. The ONLY reason they voted was because there was a black man running…THAT'S what I call racism…You can't blame Sarah Plain if blacks don't bother to go to book stores.
If we have truly "moved past" racism with the election of Barack Obama – our "post-racial" President, mind you – then why hasn't the Black Caucus been dissolved? Why haven't Farrakahn, Sharpton, and Jackson gone away?
LMAO! White dems have to be careful not to be racist towards white repubs now!? Ah, the bickering is at an all time high. Only in America.
I'm an intelligent person, but I can't make the connection between conservatives and racists, as it is nonsensical to assume that people who live by the principles of "cast the first stone" and "do unto others" would be racist. Conservatives who don't support entitlement programs that encourage generations of American families to be dependent on the government for their survival aren't racists; they're people who believe the power and resources of the federal government should be used to encourage personal responsibility, hard work and self-esteem. I have family members who vote mostly for Democratic candidates, but share my conservative social values. They are committed Christians who believe in the sanctity of life, small government and hard work, but they owe their financial success to union jobs and show their appreciation in the voting booth. We don't always agree on politics, but we do agree that the sight of black people waiting in a long line in Detroit for "Obama money" is nothing to be proud of. That doesn't make us racist Americans; it makes us sad Americans.
thanks for posting that, Wanda. i'm guessing many of the errors are merely due to Kurt having to blindly 'touch-type' the whole thing while his head was parked up his messiah's heinie….
Are you serious? I mean, really?
I like that one!
Weak answer, palm.
MB, you still continue to make the same mistakes over and over, and over, and over,…
No matter what is done, (and I carefully left this out, just to pull in a statist lib), the individual would be REQUIRED to accept the RESPONSIBILITY of the choices they made…
For example: Neal Patrick Harris has accepted that responsibility, and seems to be doing just fine…
Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar have done so, and they and their little girl are doing fine, too…
Accept the RESPONSIBILITY as well as the FREEDOM…Or you'll Amy Winehouse…
I said I dont condone that behavior so yes I would have a problem with it. I'm surprised you called that a bright idea and why do most of you attack me personally by calling me stupid or afraid or whatever else comes to your minds? Is it because you have nothing of substance to say?

Right , blacks don't go to bookstores, hey thanks for illustrating why the republican party will continue to be all white and lose elections.
Riiiigggghhhhtttttt…just like they lost in Virginia and NEW JERSEY?
God, libs are SO stupid…
I'm talking about presidential elections, although demographics will start to work against you on a state level too. The republican party knows this , thats why they are pushing Jindal , Rubio and the head of the RNC whose name I'm forgetting. It's not going to help them much though because the anger at minorities found here and in the conservative movement is so palpable.
Palin a leader? Reagan was a leader!
you may wanna tune down your rhetoric a little bit. We ought to reserve some respect for the office of the president, whether or not you support him.
Hey dont forget blacks are only 13% of the population, there is no way Obama could have won the election by black folks. I think he won about 43% of the white votes and 90% of the black votes. In any case 43% of whites is numerically way more than 90% blacks.
"Check out Hardball guest Norah O’Donnell, impersonating a talking puffin…" That was a laugh out loud line. Made my day, thank you Sir! Keep on keep'n on.
People see Fort Hood as an "ethnic issue," Chris? Really? That's funny, I didn't realize that Islamo-fascism was an ethnicity, I thought it was a militant fundamentalist movement.
Or maybe Chris thinks we're actually racist against Arabs (and presumably also Persians, Assyrians and all the other ethnicities that make up the Middle East). In that case, what about white jihadists like John Walker Lindh, blacks like John Lee Malvo or hispanics like Jose Padilla? Last time I checked, we were opposed to them too.
They better wake the fv(# up soon. They are about to get rocked.
Thanks for this video. Norah O'Donnell is a douche bag. She also has some other unbelievably racist comments. Who the hell bullies up on a child?! What a freakin' loser.
What policies of SarahPalin do you support? Again I say policies?
This is exactly why I stopped watching MSNBC last year. They've all lost their effing minds. To slander a group of people just because they are supporters of Sarah Palin is about as un-American as you can get. I don't know when it became a bad thing to be white in this country. You don't have to down one race in order to lift up another. People are getting fed up with this kind of talk. Hence their dismal ratings. Meanwhile, "Going Rogue" is at the top of the New York Times Bestseller list, and Obama's job approval rating is tanking. It's funny how fortunes can change.
