But really, if this doesn’t get your blood boiling, I don’t know what will. You can even divorce the whole notion of politics from this video, and it’s still astounding. My favorite comment on it comes from Digg:
I wish no ill on people like her- but I do think it is time to turn our backs to them, stop pardoning their casual racist remarks and start challenging them. We all have someone like this in our life and we excuse them because they “come from a different time” or we think we can “woo them with kindness” but they really just need to be ostracized and made to know that the world can’t wait for them to wake up anymore. As long as you stand there and don’t correct their misinformation about Obama and let them say such backwards things that make all of us (Americans- Palin “Real Americans” AND the rest of us!) look bad- you give them quarter. You allow them to think you might be like them. You might even let them think they have the guts to say what you are afraid to- and what you ARE afraid to say is what MUST be said.
