The New York Times is publishing a story this Sunday, 10/12/08, (by Frank Rich, the cartoon to the right by Barry Blitt), about Race & the campaigns.
WHY WOULD PALIN USE A QUOTE FROM A RACIST, ANTI-SEMITE?
The speech was written by Matthew Scully, Sr. speech writer for George W. Bush. The quote, about small-town America, was attributed to a "writer". The quote was from a "writer", Westbrook Pegler. I do not think that Ms. Palin knew whom she was quoting, but what would the motivation be to use a quote from someone so divisive? Pegler called for the murder of Robert Kennedy; here RFK, Jr. reacts to the VP acceptance speech containing the small town quote from Pegler. This unfortunately makes me think that there has been a more sinister and caluclated plan by the McCain campaign operatives to subversively propogate this message of fear and racism. How sad.

Click HERE for video of Sarah, Willow & Piper dropping the puck at a Philly Flyers hockey game tonight. Judge for yourself; most are saying they were booed; and Fox reported thatPalin announced at an earlier rally that she was putting Piper in a Flyers jersey because "How dare they boo Piper!"
