Sarah Palin Says Nothing as Woman Yells Ni***r When She Mentions Barack Obama's Name

Sarah Palin continues to prove that she will tolerate racist behavior. According to Daily Kos, while she was talking to an Iowa crowd about Barack Obama and taxes,a woman yelled nigger when she paused during her speech. Afterwards Palin stutters, seemingly caught off guard and begins to continue her speech. Never once decrying the comments made by that woman. Here's an excerpt, from Boing Boing, of her comments.....

Palin: Obama...Barack Obama has an ideological commitment to higher taxes. The lessons I believe we have taught our kids would start to erode. Those lessons about work ethic, hard work being rewarded and productivity being rewarded...

Female yelling off-camera, in audience:

And he's a nigger!

Palin: And...and......lessons about, um, the virtues of freedom and independence while being generous and compassionate with others.

So, it is quite obvious that Sarah Palin heard those words and chose not to say anything. Her silence can be taken to mean that she condones of this behavior and it is okay to be associated with racists. To use Sarah Palin's phrase, I am calling her on her comments and her inaction when this woman calls Barack Obama a nigger.
