Palin Slams Michelle Obama

Sarah Palin has a new book out with the vomit-inducing title of America by Heart, Reflections on Family, Faith, and Flag. In the book, Palin has written there is a particularly ugly and racist passage that criticizes Michelle Obama for not being proud of America and, well, for not being white:

Certainly his wife expressed this view when she said during the 2008 campaign that she had never felt proud of her country until her husband started winning elections. In retrospect, I guess this shouldn't surprise us, since both of them spent almost two decades in the pews of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright's church listening to his rants against America and white people.

Of course, that's not really what Michelle Obama said and this horse has been beaten to death, but I thought this passage was pretty breathtaking in it's racism.  Palin doesn't even try to hide it anymore.

What was a muslim doing in a christian church? (another topic that's been beaten to death, but what the heck).

And why does blogger want me to capitalize muslim but not christian? I smell a conspiracy. Let's get Bill O'Reilly to look into it.

Sarah doesn't have to hide her stupidity, shallowness, or racism. She has a base of followers who will support whatever she says. That is the truly scary part of the phenom of Sarah Palin, her followers.
