Palin called Obama - "Sambo!"

Warning -- you might just be totally offended by this article. I know I was. After Barack Obama beat Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Primary, Sarah Palin told colleagues, "So Sambo beat the B$it%h"

Read it for yourself:

What the right blogs have to say:
http://baptistsforbrown2008.wordpress.com/2008/09/06/sarah-palin-calls-o...

So who exactly is Sambo??
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Black_Sambo

How do you feel?? Was it a Racist? Do you think it's true or just fluff?

EDIT:
Just to make sure everyone is clear - this many be a rumor - it also may be true. As always - please use your own judgment.

And again -- I'm not advocating that Palin is a racist -- my official position is that I HOPE THIS IS NOT TRUE

EDIT:
This story has been debunked -- and clearly there are some truly SICK Americans out there (from both parties). The source can be found here: http://macsmind.com/wordpress/2008/09/06/anatomy-of-a-smear-who-are-dick...

If this story is true, it is appalling and disgusting.

BTW that blog is so gross and hate filled it almost made me vomit. Barf!

Barf! is right....I clicked on the baptist "christian conservative" group link. What a bunch of nutjobs. That is TRULY disgusting.

I personally hope the story is not true. As much as I dislike Palin and her political views -- I sincerely hope that it's not true.

If it's true - we could possible have someone in the white house that's only for 1/3 of the country. Did we just have that?? (BUSH)

So, lucille the waitress is the source. nice dream. Keep em' coming.

Sat, 09/06/2008 - 4:26pm

5

You are so hate filled and blinded by this election.

Sat, 09/06/2008 - 4:27pm

6

So waitresses are not truthful? You just insulted MANY waitresses!!!

No I'm not hate filled -- but the Right Wing Blog is!

She should address the rumors and do so publicly. Why is she hiding from the media??? Read about that here: http://www.time-blog.com/swampland/2008/09/no_questions_please_were.html

There are other things she has done that have been exposed and again I SINCERELY HOPE that this is NOT true -- I SINCERELY DO. Racism is an ugly disease.

Sat, 09/06/2008 - 4:37pm

No, but you are successfully spreading a rumor. This isn't a credited source. It is here say. You automatically believe some waitress you know nothing about and decide to spread it over the internet. Nice.

Sat, 09/06/2008 - 4:49pm

Wait minute -- even that Right believes it????

I think people can make up their own minds -- I have listed the sources and people can check it out for themselves.

But not only that -- it was brought up on Cnn -- just like the special needs funding cut of hers (a 67% cut).

I'm asking people what they think on the issue - nothing more. So where all clear -- I'll edit the post so that it states that this many be a rumor.

Sat, 09/06/2008 - 5:15pm

I think editing it would be the mature and honest thing to do. I can find all kinds of crazy crap on the internet about Obama and post it. But I know quite a bit of it is just rumors that anti-insert politicians name here, bloggers have made up to throw off people. Politics isn't a game. If you are going to be involved and be so vocal, the least you can do is be honest and forthright.

Sat, 09/06/2008 - 5:19pm

10

Actually -- I was being honest and asking people what they thought listing two sources. But to make it clear -- I'll put it many be a rumor.

Sat, 09/06/2008 - 5:44pm

11

You've just got to wonder about the lack of outrage for similar posts in the "conservative sugar" group. GS, I think you should march right on over to the thread about muslims financing Obama's education and give your buddies a lesson on the mature and honest thing to do.

Sat, 09/06/2008 - 9:13pm

12

Man -- there sure is a ton of "drinking the Kool Aid" talk over there and the OVER emphasizing of Obama middle name (which we all know is Hussein) -- again -- Pot meet Kettle -- that sounds pretty hate filled to me. Just saying.

Sat, 09/06/2008 - 9:21pm

13

Exactly, Dream. You think people would clean up their own houses before they started accusing others of being hate filled.

Sat, 09/06/2008 - 9:26pm

14

You think they would....

Sat, 09/06/2008 - 9:32pm

clean -- lol

Sat, 09/06/2008 - 9:36pm

17

I hope this isn't true but I thank facin8me for pointing out all the B.S. the conservative sugar is shovelling.

Sun, 09/07/2008 - 6:44am

18

Yeah -- there's a post on that blog about Obama's education being funded by Muslims (?????) -- I think they should add a "Rumor" disclaimer -- I mean there's no fact in any of this -- not even remotely.

Link in 5, 4, 3, 2, http://teamsugar.com/group/974220/blog/1932308

And yes -- it's nice to be wanted(stalked) on Pop!!

Sun, 09/07/2008 - 7:42am

19

Dream, being as I am not a subscriber to group think, could you please fine me a post where I have ever said anything about Obama being a muslim.

Sun, 09/07/2008 - 9:47am

20

I'm not the one that bought it up -- so go take your issues up with that person. Fran was just pointing out your lack of concern for all the untrue/ rumored negative Obama post in that group.

But now that you know about it -- clean why don't you just march right over and set your Repub friends right. Tell them to be mature and what not. I'll be awaiting your post.

As to looking up your history of comments -- that's a total waste of my time.

Sun, 09/07/2008 - 1:09pm

21

I've been a member of that group for about 7 or 8 weeks and the post you are talking about didn't come about while I've been there. You probably had to dig pretty far to get to it. All the posts that have been there when I've been there have been from credible sources, i.e. not a waitress. Most posts are private anyway.

Sun, 09/07/2008 - 1:55pm

22

It isn't a waste of time if you say someone has said something or imply as such. If you had any knowledge of debate you would know that if you bring an argument to the table and state something you have the burden of proof.

Sun, 09/07/2008 - 1:56pm

23

Wait a minute -- did you just say you are a member?? But wait did you just say
"Dream, being as I am not a subscriber to group..."

It actually wasn't pretty hard to find. 2-3 pages in maybe and not private (*yawn and stretch). And honestly -- I didn't bring it up and I never said you said anything -- and you - ah that is to say your comments from the past are a total waste of my time.

And I believe you just said waitresses are dishonest. What a slap in the face to waitresses.

Honestly -- I edited the post so what is your complaint now.........

Sun, 09/07/2008 - 2:07pm

24

Dream, group think is a famous literary reference. Look it up.

Sun, 09/07/2008 - 2:12pm

25

I must say, most people in political forums know exactly what it means.

Sun, 09/07/2008 - 2:12pm

26

Dream, waste of your time? Sheesh, if only you knew your reputation around here.

Sun, 09/07/2008 - 2:13pm

27

And find me a quote where I said all waitresses were dishonest. Seriously. You don't have a leg to stand on.

Sun, 09/07/2008 - 2:14pm

28

My rep on POP? HA! -- like I give a hook what you are your cronies have to say - like their sh$t don't stink. Here's news for you -- we talk about you too.

I have a great idea -- instead of following me from blog to blog -- go be all self righteous and clean up your own group site.

And you implied that the source was unreliable therefore being dishonest. I edited the post -- you got what you want so make like a tree and scram (leave).

So if we could get back on topic that would be great. How do you feel?? Was it a Racist? Do you think it's true or just fluff -- we're the questions.

Sun, 09/07/2008 - 2:32pm

29

It was just fluff.

Sun, 09/07/2008 - 2:36pm

30

And no, your rep on Citizen. Seeing that you disappeared for a year then came back with a vengeance.

Sun, 09/07/2008 - 2:37pm

31

Who are you??? Why do you care???? Honestly. Didn't you just join 17 weeks ago or something??? And you're Diamond status (over 10,000 comments or whatever strong).

Again -- I don't give a flying fig newton about what you or ANYONE (Repub or Dem) on citizen has to say -- I really don't -- seriously.

"back with a vengeance" -- -- do you hear yourself. Actually I kind of like that -- DreamSug, Back with a Vengeance -- sweet!

We are all talking about the candidates. The is the most exciting race of our life time. If you hate the things I have to say - ignore them.

Sun, 09/07/2008 - 2:50pm

32

Hmm. I found that "Obama's education funded by Muslims!!" post third down in the list on the conservative sugar page. I didn't even scan more- I knew there was just more of the same below it.

"Sheesh, if only you knew your reputation around here."
Oh yeah? Well my daddy could beat your daddy up and my mommy is prettier! So there!

Sun, 09/07/2008 - 2:53pm

33

And just so were clear -- that Repub and Dem opinions about me.

Sun, 09/07/2008 - 2:54pm

34

Actually third on the list is "Fannie & Freddie get a new Daddy".

Sun, 09/07/2008 - 3:11pm

35

And your off by a mere 7000 on your comments dig. But close!

Sun, 09/07/2008 - 3:12pm

36

Sweet!! Thanks for letting me know.

Sun, 09/07/2008 - 3:25pm

37

wow--this is a mess. i saw this link a while ago and I do believe it. i hope its made main news on tv. doubt it has or will though. that makes makes my stomach churn more than hillary did.....i also have a couple conservative friends who hate her and will be voting obama in november. Obama is leaing in most of the battleground states :yay:

Sun, 09/07/2008 - 5:42pm

38

he also has an enormous lead in electoral votes.

Sun, 09/07/2008 - 5:44pm

39

I too think that citing a source as a reference who refuses to give her last name is a little questionable.

GS did you read the linked blog? It is disgusting. They are actually celebrating the idea that she may have said it. I almost can't believe there are people who actually think that way. (Not suggestion that you think that way, just wanted your honest opinion since it is a conservative blog. A bigoted and ignorant blog and certainly not representative of the conservatives on this board.)

"I too think that citing a source as a reference who refuses to give her last name is a little questionable."

From what I understand that there are a quite a few ppl in Alaska that are afraid to speak negatively about her. Apparently she's very intimidating and if you step on her toes or get in her way your automatically on her sh$t list.

But I been thinking (and that's real dangerous), "Sambo" -- I had no idea what that was -- I had to look it up - I even asked my mother. It's such an uncommonly used slur -- if someone wanted to lie -- I think they would use the more popular "N" word which instantly created a community uproar.

Again -- I HOPE she didn't say that -- but it makes one wonder.

Sun, 09/07/2008 - 6:13pm

41

The right word is "zambo" and it refers to blacks in a pejorative way. I don't know if Palin said it, but quite frankly it wouldn't surprise me. She is a totalitarian in many of her beliefs, adding 'racist' to that would not be far fetched.

So after she laughed at her opponet being called a "b*tch" and a "cancer", I don't think she's too good to have called Obama "Sambo". She's not a nice lady.

Mon, 09/08/2008 - 11:50am

43

Oh -- yeah -- I forgot about that -- time to dig through Youtube

Mon, 09/08/2008 - 12:00pm

44

So laughing at a bad joke makes it ok to call someone a racist? Nice logic. I think we are all racist then. At one time in our lives we have all laughed at a tasteless joke. Seriously, hold everyone to the same standards.

Mon, 09/08/2008 - 1:01pm

45

Seriously, hold everyone to the same standards.

That's what we been trying to tell you -- Glad you understand now. clean Go clean up Conservative Sugar. That should keep you busy for a few days.

Two members of Barack of Obama’s campaign, Dick and Sharon Price, created the sambo rumor.

Aside from the fact that this constitutes slander, for there is absolutely no evidence - sources, etc, there is more to the story about “Dick and Sharon”. First, their blog only came into being on 10 March 2008 according to whois records.

This is about the time that several satellite Pro-Obama blogs began to appear around the internet, several of which were found to be funded by the Obama campaign.

The fact that the story wasn’t designed to do anything but get the story into Google search engines tells you it's sole purpose was to deceive people.

Note: To say how bad this lie is, the Daily Kos which linked to it earlier deleted the link.

Mon, 09/08/2008 - 2:52pm

47

I'm glad you feel Daily Kos is a reliable source -- I think so too.

Thanks for staying on topic Smiling

Mon, 09/08/2008 - 2:57pm

48

No prob! Eye-wink

Mon, 09/08/2008 - 2:59pm

49

And in all fairness can you please list all of your sources.

Mon, 09/08/2008 - 3:23pm

No problem. You can find it at Michelle Malkin's for fox news site.
