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.

See that is the funny thing, I am not wrong.

No, the right has those "thousand points" - just look at the past week or so of Sarah Palin rallies, and the ugly, frankly terrifying language coming out of them from the crowd "kill him" "terrorist," "Bomb Obama." But they ALSO have the professionals, whom - as I said - they attract, promote, train, lionize and revere.

If you didn't think it was worth remarking upon, why did you bring it up?


And "my babies' daddy" is perfectly acceptable and grammatical.

Well after reading your previous post that is debateable.

Can you please post a video where someone said "kill him" at any Palin rally.

No, you didn't "prove" anything. You've tried to say that "baby's daddy" is "not correct grammar," when in fact, it's perfectly correct. It is not as formal as "the father of my children," but it certainly is more proper in both social graces and grammatical correctness than, say, when George W. Bush chooses to call half the reporters in the White House press pool "stretch." Baby's daddy is NOT the same thing as "baby daddy."

Yes there is a difference! My baby daddy is more of a ghetto thing and implies a hook up where as my baby's daddy is the father of my children, usually married. They are two totally different things. "The Oxford English Dictionary defines baby-daddy as "the father of a woman's child, who is not her husband or (in most cases) her current or exclusive partner." Clearly referring to Obama as Michelle's 'baby daddy' implies that they are not married, which they have been for 19 years. It is usually used in a derogatory manner.
