This woman has been so marginalized to the political sidelines recently, that she had to “go there” to get any attention at all.
This part of her statement says it all in terms of her “deep-seated” (to borrow a term from Glenn Beck) racist attitude:
“The White House’s judgment on inviting someone who would glorify cop killing during police memorial week, of all times, the judgment is so lacking of class and decency and all that is good about America with an invite like this.”
Sarah Palin threw some more fuel onto the fire of the Drudge Report-led controversy swirling around the White House’s decision to host the rapper Common at a celebration of poetry.
“It is just too easy,” Palin said of criticizing the decision, which has caused an uproar in conservative spheres. “The White House’s judgment on inviting someone who would glorify cop killing during police memorial week, of all times, the judgment is so lacking of class and decency and all that is good about America with an invite like this.”
Common has come under attack for some of his past lyrics, including those about a former Black Panther who was convicted of killing a police officer. White House press secretary Jay Carney on Wednesday defended the decision to invite Common, pointing out that the rapper has “spoken very forcefully out against violent and misogynist lyrics.”
Still, Palin was happy to jump into the fray Wednesday night in a lengthy television interview almost entirely dedicated to the controversy.
“We thought we were to be united under the leader of the free world, Barack Obama in tamping down racism and inciting violence — and cop killing certainly — and killing a former president,” Palin said on Fox News, interspersing references to some of Common’s lyrics that have been targeted by the right.
“All those things that this rapper has glorified and is known for certainly reflects a lack of judgment on the White House’s part,” she said.

She’s to talk. She was one for spouting off violence, during the 2008 election: ‘palling around with terrorists’ comes to mind’.
She thinks she’s the authority on everything, and yet she knows nothing.
Why dosen’t this fucking air head go back to Alaska and stay there.
Why dosen’t this fucking air head go back to Alaska and stay there
My sentiments, exactly!
…and take fucking Fox News with her!
Kay – Jon Stewart did an absolutely devastating take-down last night about how FOX reacted as if Common were Ice-T. It may be the best Stewart ever, although it’s hard to choose.
Yes, I know Moe. I posted it.
Egad – I just saw that.
And did Sarah Palin actually say ‘lacking class’ about someone other than her and her grifter family? Wow.
Yeah she did!
She went to five different universities in a 6 year period, to get her BA in broadcasting. A lot of good that did her. She’s nothing but a walking, talking word salad mash up.
Let’s be honest about it … someone is throwing out talking points.
Not one of these people has ever heard of Common before this White House invitation.
For the record, neither had I, but I’m not pretending to be an authority. And I admit it.
It’s hard to imagine, but as stupid as this is, somehow the Republicans will reach for something even stupider to criticize in a few months.
2012 should be a cakewalk for Pres. Obama if this is the best they can do.
So it’s perfectly A-OK with bitter quitter Palin, the cheerleading Hater In Chief Of America, that her best buddy whom she has appeared with and supported, Ted Nugent , the draft-dodging chicken-hawk burnt out aging one-hit-wonder rocker waves two machine guns around while viciously raging onstage at the President of the United States that he’s a piece of s*** and to suck on his machine gun??? Then he calls our Secretary of State a “worthless b**ch. That’s okay with you Mrs. Palin isn’t it….I’m sure you approved just the same as when you smiled and smirked while your adoring audience, some of whom held stuffed toy monkeys with Obama’s name on them, yelled “Kill Him!”.
Now THAT is the definition of “vile”.
“Fox news alerts concerned white people everywhere that there is a new common enemy (not apologizing) for their two minute hate. This time it is
Rev. Wright Barack Obama Michelle Obama Eric Holder Van Jones Shirley Sherrod black farmers the new Black Panther Party Charlie Rangel Desirée Rogers Rev. Joseph Lowery AC-DC’s Back in Black Black Hole Sun The Man in Blackblack black BLACK BLACKITY BLACK BLACK!rapper Common.”(Kay – you rock. Thanks.)
My pleasure, Moe. Thanks for your participation here at TFC.
And your trashy daughter having a kid while in high school was classy? Give me a break!
