The N Word At A Palin Rally, The Hate Continues And Increases - Update

With eight days to go, the spectacular end of the McCain/Palin ticket promises an explosive end. For the minority that votes for them, beware the racists in your midst. Today at one of Palin's rallies one supporter increased the level of hate by screaming "and he's a ni**er," clearly catching the VP candidate off guard. Unfortunately, like all other screams and shouts, she said nothing to denounce the racist in front of her, despite showing that it threw her for a moment. Okay, I've got to admit that this video doesn't say that after closer inspection, it says this.



It is sad to see this, but perhaps these few brazenly racists' acts can alert the people who erroneously believe that racism is a thing of the past and compel them to do something about it now and in the future. Racism still exists and it is still rampant in certain parts of the GOP and the far right. That was clearly put on display with the plot to assassinate Obama and kill over a hundred African-Americans in Tennessee. Thankfully that was broken up. Here for this video, the woman shouted "Redistributor." It is still wrong and comes from misguided Republican talking points, but not as bad as the N word.
