I have no reason to believe that whack job Malkins opinion. But in case there is some doubt here is another gem. Damn the GOPers just keep on giving!!
another gem
Seriously when are the stand up people in the GOP going to purge themselves of these human vermin?

:roll: lol, this reminds me of a bad Ghost Hunters episode. Playing back a tape over and over again to hear something they want to believe. "play it again, did you hear it????? There it is, rewind it again...... There it is. ................... Oh my god it said N****r :Q! This place is haunted...... I think I heard it too" lol
Why dont you try addressing the original thread and start a new one for your new link?
Back on topic, so you still believe the Palin supporter was yelling "N***ER"?
Or are you going to face the proof and admit you were wrong and that the supporter was yelling "redistributor"
I'll admit that Malkin is very biased, but the 2 videos are enough evidence to disprove the entire argument of your OP.

Yes I believe he said it. And to butress my point I provided you with another one. Hide you head in the sand if you want as long as you continue to allow these kind of people to permiate your party I can do this every day until the election.
BTW - Why don't we see these kind of clips at Obama rallys? That's right as part of the MSM youtube is biased against Repubs.

Hey...could the guy have yelled out, "He's a Nipper?"

(The older folks here may remember the comic strip called "Wee Pals" in which one of the characters was named Nipper, and was a young black kid.)
Nah, I really don't think so either, but I threw it out to try to add some levity...

Rather than wade all through what amounts to a troll bait thread, I have to say, even as a partisan dem, that I do not think Palin is a racist.
So I will preform what amounts to a thought experiment, suppose you or I were addressing any large crowd, be the subject political or not.
And suddenly from the crowd comes one hateful voice, and at the same time one may hear other more hopeful voices from the same crowd. I do not know about you, but that racist voice might freak me out, and I might be tempted to address it or ignore it. But if I responded to every voice in the crowd, I would have zero time to say anything of my own to that crowd.
I thought that was part of the uplifting images of 08, we should not demonize our candidates because they have some associations with less savory or controversial supporters, down that road lies the divisive politics of Karl Rove. Get any crowd of 10,000 together, and at least 2% of them are probably under criminal indictment and at least half of them belong in jail.
Are we electing a politician or all we judging on the basis of the the worst of their peanut gallery?

Like I said, make another thread for that. I'm not the one deflecting from the topic here. You see, it's been proven that the Palin supporter did not yell out "he's a n***er", they yelled out "redistributor". Only the most stubborn and biased libs like yourself will not admit their error.
HAVE YOU WATCHED THE VIDEO I POSTED?
I'd hardly call it a "flat out lie" -- being wrong doesn't mean "lie". The audio is indistinct enough that you can hear different things in it; "He's a knitter" for example (mustn't mess with militant Macramé-ers). Personally, I agree that it's probable that "redistributor" was shouted. But the clips aren't "proof" one way or another. It's indistinct audio that can be manipulated and slowed down. The DailyKOS post has that clip, and a more in depth explanation. It explains how McCain used "redistributor" in his stump speeches around that time and even addresses any rhythm concerns. While not proof, it is a reasonable and fairly well thought out explanation.
Then again, the things Homer said in his post are still valid points that can be raised.
1) "Right after that Palin starts fumbling her speech so you know she heard it." (If merely shouting"redistributor" rattles her, imagine how steady she'd be under real pressure.)
2) "One wonders why the GOP party are known as either racist or condoning racism." (Numerous clips of McCain/Palin supporters in line reinforce this point.)
3) "I hope the secret service protection is tripled around Obama." (See the recent news reports about skinhead assassination plot.)
