The Friday Night Palin Dump
EDIT: I have to add this tale of the “Compassionate Conservative Hockey Mom” from The Unruly Mob. Good stuff; check it out.
A special thanks to Reconstitution friend Christopher at From The Left for making us aware of this nugget featuring the “compassionate conservatism” of Caribou Barbie, as overheard in Alaska.
“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.
According to Lucille, the waitress serving her table at the time and who asked that her last name not be used, Gov. Palin was eating lunch with five or six people when the subject of the Democrat’s primary battle came up. The governor, seemingly not caring that people at nearby tables would likely hear her, uttered the slur and then laughed loudly as her meal mates joined in appreciatively.
“It was kind of disgusting,” Lucille, who is part Aboriginal, said in a phone interview after admitting that she is frightened of being discovered telling folks in the “lower 48” about life near the North Pole.
Then, almost with a sigh, she added, “But that’s just Alaska.”
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.
But being openly racist is only the tip of the Palin iceberg. According to Alaskans interviewed for this article, she is also vindictive and mean. We’re talking Rove mean and Nixon vindictive.
No wonder the vast sea of white, cheering faces at the Republican Convention went wild for Sarah: They adore the type, it’s in their genetic code. So much for McCain’s pledge of a “high road” campaign; Palin is incapable of being part of one.
The Napoleonic way she conducts executive business has more or less been confirmed, and it isn’t surprising; hard-right wingtards like her are usually Boss Hogg types. In any case, go read the article for even more good stuff on Jesusistan’s pinup darling.
Suzie-Q, which has been watching the National Enquirer’s emerging story of Palin and her husband’s business partner, has news of an interesting development on that front tonight. Thank Dog for a Constitutional separation of powers, because we know all too well that “Unitary Executives” would make sure that any unfortunate stuff would never see the light of day. Go look at it, and wait for the other shoe to drop.
Oprah has sent Sarah a thanks, but no thanks until after the election is over. Hey, Oprah never billed herself as “Fair and Balanced,” did she?
Feministing has an open letter to Sarah that is most interesting, with questions we know we’ll never hear Sarah answering.
And last but not least, the investigation into Sarah’s abuse of her power as Governor is now on the fast track.
Perhaps Johnny should have turned to someone other than Rush Limbaugh when he needed a VP candidate “vetted,” you know?

OMG! She is beyond horrible!
September 5th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
I think that would have been about the time I’d be spilling that pot of hot coffee in her lap.
September 5th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
it completely blows my mind. i don’t know why it should- but it does. not so much that palin is horrible- so is mccain. he is emotionally abusive to everyone he comes into contact with. i guess it blows my mind that there is still so very much bullshit racism in this country. not just against black folks but the native americans and aboriginal peoples. gah! these people disgust me. native americans were light years ahead of people like palin- and people like palin wiped them out in many places. this is why trying to live according to buddhism is so very difficult. i have to go shower now- i feel dirty even having read about her bullshit.

First off – I’m a yellow-dog Democrat and do NOT support McCain/Palin. I also have no reason to doubt what Lucille the waitress reports but, folks, let’s not demonize (sp?) Gov Palin. If some of the other things I’ve read are true, her husband, Todd Palin is part Eskimo. If she has such loathing for Eskimos….there is a lot else going on in that home. Gov. Palin is unqualified to be a VP for many reasons that don’t need hearsay support. We’re going to win this election because America deserves better than the last 8 years and much better than what McCain/Palin are offering. Enough said.

PhilaSKA,
If this is true, it needs to be known, as it is just another chapter in the Gopper book of racism. Given the Goppers’ heavy reliance on lies tying Barack to Islamist extremism and a Weather Underground that had been busted up before he was 10 years old, the Goppers invite this kind of scrutiny on their standard-bearer.

So who’s watching the store in Alaska now that governor Bullwinkle has hit the road with Rocky the Flying Squirrel.
September 6th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
Alaska would have to be better off with Sarah elsewhere. Sadly, Johnny sent her back to keep her from running her mouth to the press.

So where’s this article from? I’m seriously disliking this woman, but in the sake of fairness I have to ask what the original source of this material is. Where did Unruly Mob get it? Directly from the waitress?
September 8th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
The Unruly Mob properly credits via a link where they got it from. I think you mean the From The Left article, which is properly credited by them and by us, also with a link.

According to some guy named Willie, serving a table with Obama and several of his campaign staff, at an unnamed dinner in an unnamed town, Obama said ‘McCain actaully nominated that bitch ass cracker?!?!?!’
Several other people in the United States have also stated that Obama is one big huge anti-woman white-hating crypto-Muslim that has in his secret plans way to destroy Ameican from within.
Well, I guess we have it. The facts, according to ‘Willie’ and ‘people.’
September 9th, 2008 at 1:37 am
Hey, KP, aren’t you and the rest of your ‘tard brethren the ones who keep saying that Obama is a Wahhabi Muslim that shares a bed with William Ayres?
I don’t expect an answer, because your kind seldom answer anything. Except for things like this, of course. You’ll stay away from bonafide factual discussions the same way you stay away from recruiting offices.

This woman and J McSame deserve eachother. Just check out their ads against Obama…they are out and out LIES. I don’t find it surprising to hear about this….her mouth is going to be her end. This country does not need her mouth.
