Palin Called Obama "Sambo"

“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.

No....but I believe that once it's brought to one's attention that one has been misinformed, if one continues to say the same (false) thing that one had been saying before being informed of what the facts really are, then one is most definitely lying. Which, of course, you would have read, had you opened the link I provided.

But - as you said - you already know what you know....no need to confuse you with the facts.

But I, of course, did open the link afterward or I wouldn't have known which song you were referring to.

No worries, folks disagree with fact quite often.

so your answer is no? Otherwise, given your love of lengthy posts, you would have posted one.
