BETCHA DIDN'T KNOW SARAH PALIN WAS A RACIST, DIDJA?

Chris Matthews and Kathleen Parker are here to set you straight:

Matthews:

Here`s a quote that really grabbed me: "That same rage was on display again in the fall of 2008, but this time the frenzy was stimulated by a pretty gal with a mocking little wink. Sarah Palin may not have realized what she was doing. But southerners, weaned on Harper Lee, heard the dog whistle." Kathleen, "heard the dog whistle." Is Sarah Palin a poster girl for racism? Yes or no?

Parker suggested that Palin is indeed a "poster girl for racism," (Newsbusters)

Of course nothing that she has ever done or said suggests that. But since she's not a member of the Democratic party, the party that supported slavery, opposed civil rights, had the KKK as their armed wing and then in desperation began treating Americans of African decent as helpless child-like slaves to keep them under control, well, she MUST be racist.

Another "teachable moment."
