Sarah Palin has been scaring me ever since she accepted the invitation to be John McCain's running mate. Her deer-in-headlights look and hot temper indicate to me that she is a woman who knows she's in over her head but her ego refuses to allow her to step aside for one more qualified. Up to now, I've trusted that she would dig her own grave with thinking people, but today's news is so desperately alarming, I must write about it here. Every person in the world needs to know this before they go to the polls.
From today's New York Times (which cited a recent Washington Post story): At a recent rally in Florida, Sarah Palin was speaking to a crowd of supporters when someone in the crowd yelled "Kill him!" as Palin mentioned Obama in her speech. Others shouted epithets at an African-American member of a TV news crew. Palin did nothing to stop the hateful shouts. She never stopped her speech to admonish those spouting hate. So, by not doing anything, she endorsed what they were saying and doing.
If she professes to love Americans, does that include only white Americans? We already know how she feels about our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters. Was she secretly in agreement with what those racists were spewing, and that's why she didn't respond? That's what I take away from this item. I urge you to share this with your friends and family members that may be voting for McCain and Palin. This woman is dangerous. As a woman who has struggled to find the right words (i.e., answers to direct questions) at the right time, her actions are doing the talking for her now.
