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.

You really think that changes when you make baby plural?

There isn't one.

That one was reported by Dana Milbank of the Washington Post. I can link you to the column, if you'd like....but I rather suspect you'll just dismiss it as something which can't be proven beyond gainsaying, since no video or audiotape of it exists, and obviously reporters are "in the tank for Obama," or something. However, there exists, from the same time frame, on BOTH sides of the event Milbank witnessed, tape of crowd-members at Palin rallies shouting "terrorist" and "Bomb Obama." Plus that lovely deluded old lady who called Obama "an Arab" - and later, in a follow-up, an "Arab terrorist." Given that, do you really think Milbank's either making it up, or misheard it?

Took you long enough to clarify your point, then.

More like a thousand point of darkness. The black hole of truth. The dark star as it were.

Where did I say that babies daddy isn't correct grammar. Keep defending the slang term she used.


You didn't? What did you mean, then, when you said:

See that is the funny thing, I am not wrong. You called babies daddy a proper term. That is funny. Since Michelle uses correct grammar (like you said) she would have said "The father of my children."


Either you weren't being particularly clear, or you just said that - because Michelle Obama "uses correct grammar, she would have said....." indicating that you felt what she DID say - "baby's daddy" WASN'T correct grammar.

See at this point I wouldn't discount her article, but unless I hear it then there is nothing.
