I don't know ... maybe this will peter out as fake.

Quote:
“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.


Quote:
Besides insulting Obama with a Step-N’-Fetch-It, “darkie musical” swipe, people who know her say she refers regularly to Alaska’s Aboriginal people as “Arctic Arabs” – how efficient, lumping two apparently undesirable groups into one ugly description – as well as the more colourful “mukluks” along with the totally unimaginative “f**king Eskimo’s,” according to a number of Alaskans and Wasillians interviewed for this article.

Sounds made up, and there are virtually no attributions except a waitress named Lucille, who doesn't want her last name used for some strange reason.

Wow, you guys are falling right into the McCain trap. Nobody was talking about his campaign, now it's all people are talking about. Exactly what they wanted

Over this side of the Atlantic, 'Sambo' is a derogatory term for someone of African decent. Or another word for Nigger.

Did no-one realise that?

I think they do and it's the same there ...that's why that remark is highly offensive (if true).

It doesn't have to. There is a significant portion of the population, and this board I might add, that want this to be true.

Plus in America, the mere suggestion that someone is a racist is a death sentence in media. Murderers get better press.

This is probably accurate, much as so many conservatives salivate over moments like Obama's "My Muslim faith" slip-up.

True or not, can this really make her lose votes? I really don't think so, actually I'm thinking it might be the opposite. :?

I heard the table at which they were eating was made from the bones of baby polar bears and Planned Parenthood workers.

Yes, it could. No one wants to be seen as supporting a racist. It's a thought crime of the highest degree.

Plenty of racists will vote Obama.

There are 7504 posts in the election thread. This is post #18 over here.

There's more to the story than just that quote. It's a whole article about her being racist, as well as vindictive and mean. :-)

I know the weaknesses in a story from an anonymous waitress ... I just wanted to stake out the post if it turned out to be true. Feel free to expand the thread into other discussions about what a bad person Sarah Palin happens to be.

She also tried to fire a Wasilla librarian for not banning "inappropriate" books.
