Al-Jazeera Exposes Racism At Sarah Palin Rally in Ohio

Wow:

“I’m afraid if he wins, the blacks will take over. He’s not a Christian! This is a Christian nation! What is our country gonna end up like?”

“When you got a Nigger running for president, you need a first stringer. He’s definitely a second stringer.”

“He seems like a sheep – or a wolf in sheep’s clothing to be honest with you. And I believe Palin – she’s filled with the Holy Spirit, and I believe she’s gonna bring honesty and integrity to the White House.”

“He’s related to a known terrorist, for one.”

“He is friends with a terrorist of this country!”

“He must support terrorists! You know, uh, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck. And that to me is Obama.”

“Just the whole, Muslim thing, and everything, and everybody’s still kinda – a lot of people have forgotten about 9/11, but… I dunno, it’s just kinda… a little unnerving.”

“Obama and his wife, I’m concerned that they could be anti-white. That he might hide that.”

“I don’t like the fact that he thinks us white people are trash… because we’re not!”

With the succinct and all to true conclusion by the reporter, “It’s a reminder that hate and fear are still powerful sources in American society.”

Gawker Blows Up PBH’s Game

From Gawker:

“I pour beers and bar-back at a little place [in Carrol Gardens]. Great place. We get a good crowd on Sundays for NFL football… So anytime someone would squeeze up near the taps to order a drink, if they were of the female persuasion, he’d strike up a convo. “So… are you a Green Bay fan?” type stuff. Within a line or two, he’d mention that he wrote for Gawker, and the girl would get interested, ask a few questions about “that life” (I’m very serious, one girl asked, “What’s that life like?”), and then eventually they’d take their beer and walk away.”

Fact 1: Kit and Alec were in Carrol Gardens drinking beer and watching football 2 Sundays ago.

Fact 2: We often pretend we work for big time blogs to get into girls pants.

Fact 3: We both live in Bed Stuy.

Fact 4: Kit looks like this, but with a beard:

Conclusion: Make your own, but someone got laid that night by pretending to work for Jezebel.

The Kamikaze Plane Continues

Sarah Palin has now become decidedly the most disliked person in the 2008 Presidential campaign. From the Washington Post:

Palin is now a much less positive force: Six in 10 voters see her as lacking the experience to be an effective president, and a third are now less likely to vote for McCain because of her.

It is the experience question that may prove her highest hurdle, particularly when paired with widespread public concern about McCain’s age. About half of all voters said they were uncomfortable with the idea of McCain taking office at age 72, and 85 percent of those voters said Palin does not have the requisite experience to be president.

The 60 percent who now see Palin as insufficiently experienced to step into the presidency is steeply higher than in a Post-ABC poll after her nomination early last month. Democrats and Republicans alike are now more apt to doubt her qualifications, but the biggest shift has come among independents.

In early September, independents offered a divided verdict on Palin’s experience; now they take the negative view by about 2 to 1. Nearly two-thirds of both independent men and women in the new poll said Palin has insufficient experience to run the White House.

In the new Post-ABC poll, Palin matches the Democratic vice presidential candidate, Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr., on empathy, one of McCain’s clear deficits against Obama, while fewer than half of voters think she understands “complex issues.”

A third of independent voters now indicate they are less likely to support McCain because of Palin, compared with 20 percent who said so in an ABC poll a month ago. Palin now repels more independents than she attracts to McCain. The share of independent women less apt to support McCain because of the Palin pick has more than doubled to 34 percent, while the percentage more inclined to support him is down eight points.

This translates into huge shifts in battleground states like Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania as these voters have become wary of the McCain/Palin ticket:

In Florida — Palin gets a negative 36 – 39 percent favorability, down from 47 – 23 percent September 11.
In Ohio — Palin’s favorability is split 35 – 35 percent, compared to 41 – 22 percent last time.
In Pennsylvania — Palin’s favorability is a negative 34 – 37 percent, down from 39 – 26 percent

Sarah Palin’s Star Begins To Fall

With Barack Obama pulling ahead in key battle ground states, the question becomes what has been sinking the McCain campaign. The answer, from recent polling, is clear — Sarah Palin has become incredibly unpopular:

In Florida — Palin gets a negative 36 – 39 percent favorability, down from 47 – 23 percent September 11.

In Ohio — Palin’s favorability is split 35 – 35 percent, compared to 41 – 22 percent last time.

In Pennsylvania — Palin’s favorability is a negative 34 – 37 percent, down from 39 – 26 percent.

Nationally, Palin also has the lowest favorable ratings on the Presidential tickets, with a 52% unfavorable rating [via Daily Kos daily poll tracker]
