Sirius XM: Rita from Memphis Defends Sarah Palin on "Michelangelo Signorile Show"

After discussing Sarah Palin's appearance on Sean Hannity's Fox News show to defend her video responding to the Arizona shooting -- in which she claimed she was the victim of a "blood libel" -- Rita from Memphis called into the show. She is an an example of the ignorance we're up against and the kind of people Palin draws in, already predisposed to her message.

"Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'" - Isaac Asimov

Sadly this ignorant bigoted woman does represent a significant number of Americans who feel their sense of special entitlement is much more important than silly things like democracy and the constitution.

The noisiest "patriots" in America seem to have an unquenchable hate on for everything America has historically represented. "fools rule" should be their slogan.

WOW. What a glaring example of the failure of the country's education system. They teach this stuff in 6th grade Civics classes.

She's the product of inbreeding. Dumbed down to the max. She would love a permanent police state. Some people just want to be slaves.

Rita said in reference about Palin , "...about someone who has done a lot of good in this country." Rita, what is the "done a lot of good" that Palin has done? You never named any. Was it resigning as Governor of Alaska (right after signing a multimillion book deal)? Or giving nonsensical poppycock non-answers to legitimate questions from journalists/interviewers? Or do you like Palin because she is a role model for opportunism and narcissism?

@cadmus38....you are likely not far off in your summation, with one vital exception....though she herself hasn't likely had a personal experience with prejudice, I guarantee she (and others of that mentality) have helped others to experience it.

Apparently, she thinks that she's in the "majority" and therefore what she says along with all of those in "her" majority should be rule! Would she still be arguing that the "majority" should always rule should she find herself a minority? OMG!!! How so much better the world would be without these kinds of people in it!

I may not be an expert on politics, but what you just said Mr. Signorile proves a point about Sarah Palin and her motives.

Courts represent the opinion of an elite, It is this minority that rules through the court. As for big government, if he believes we have had "big" government for "centuries."  The growth of the federal government is the result Depression and War.

Of course she watches fox.

Hey Rita! The Jews were a minority in Germany you stupid bitch!
