>>>>>Let's not change the subject. You started a thread with the apparent premise that any articles about Palin that do not put her in a flattering light are smears. I responded that I think the concerns about her use of state money for herself and her family are legitimate avenues of inquiry. I truly don't understand why you insist on viewing everything through the lens of Democrats or Republicans, or liberals and conservatives, as though we are two different species.

>That was the most ridiculous accusation of a slur campaign I've ever heard and I can't see how anyone could have interpreted that as referring to Palin. So if Obama had been unknown and they'd referred to him as "a dark horse" then that would have been a racial slurr?

I absolutely guarentee you that ANY reference at ANY time to Obama as a "dark horse" would have been met with EXTREME outrage (and possibly seen as justification for urban rioting and seizing TV sets from Korean owned stores)

The governor of NY is currently enlightening us that Palin's mention of Obama being a "community organizer" was code for "He's black." (which had previously never been mentioned)

Do remember that Obama's running mate was excoriated during the primaries for being a cruel racist for saying Obama was "articulate".

The lipstick remark is equally silly and there is not a doubt in my mind that Obama meant nothing by it.

I will vote for any candidate who will outlaw political correctness !
