Respect Authority

Sarah Palin is one of those beautiful, unique personalities that brings out the worst in everybody: liberals and conservatives alike, everybody’s ugly side has come out with her regrettable introduction into the media spotlight. In fact, the only person who doesn’t look completely ugly following her nomination is Sarah Palin herself, and even then, only because of all those great fake nudes circulating the Internet now.

At a recent rally in Iowa, while Palin paused during her speech, a woman in the crowd yells “and he’s a n***er,” and I’m assuming she wasn’t referring to Senator McCain. Palin stutters for a moment, but continues her speech without mentioning the outburst. Hey… saying nothing at all is better than, oh I don’t know, “Yep, and he’s a nigra. You betcha.”

To think that Palin has patted this retard of a country on the back in prior speeches for being the kind of place where a woman can run for national office, for recognizing people’s value regardless of race or gender. You sure you don’t want to take that back now? Or maybe you’re just going to stay the course on this one after all, Miss Maverick.

In the end, this is just more proof that she’ll do anything to win votes, be it by comparing herself to Hillary Clinton who is literally her opposite, in every instance, down to a fucking molecular level, endangering the country she claims to love so much by actually running for Vice President in the first place, or by allowing herself to become the candidate for idiotic, troglodyte racist assbags, who only deserve representation in the form of being dragged behind their rusted out Ford F-150s. Bitter? You betcha!

Earlier this year, pundits were saying that if Obama is elected, it would mean our country has finally gotten past the idea of race. Clearly, this is far from the case — if anything this election has repeatedly highlighted the fact that our country is not past any kind of prejudice, be it over issues of religion, sex, or race. And should it come as any surprise that our country is still wildly bigoted considering the past eight years have seen our society discourage education, open-mindedness and enlightenment in favor of fear, ignorance and religious fervor time and time again? Seriously, I haven’t felt like it was this uncool to be smart since fucking grade school.
