Commentary

TRANSCRIPT:
SARAH PALIN: We believe that the best of America is not all in Washington, D.C. We believe, we believe that the best of America is in the small towns that we get to visit, and in the wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, very pro-America areas of this great nation. This is where we find the kindness and the goodness and the courage of everyday Americans. Those who are running our factories and teaching our kids and growing our food and fighting our wars for us. Those who are protecting us in uniform. Those who are protecting the virtues of freedom.

[]

SARAH PALIN: Every area across this great country where were stopping and also where the other ticket is stopping, and getting to speak at these rallies, and greeting Americans, its all pro-America. I was just reinforcing the fact, there, where I was, the patriotic people there in these rallies, so excited about positive change and reform of government thats coming, they are so appreciative of our message, hearing our plan. But not pinning one area of America as more pro-America or patriotic than another.

The people of North Carolina are patriotic. That's why they're going to help elect Barack Obama and send this bitch back to Alaska!

[hhsgrad1988]

A real racist bitch. How is she going to imply that small town America is more patriotic than the big cities? More than 2/3's who served in Vietnam were from big cities like NY, Chicago, Detroit, Philly, DC, and LA. At least half of that number were people of color, Black and Hispanic.
