Sarah Palin on Harry Reid: "You Can't Defend Those Comments… His Way of Thinking is Foreign to Most Americans" (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, January 12, 2010, 7:39 PM
Sarah Palin was on with Bill O’Reilly tonight. She discussed Harry Reid’s racial comments saying, “A lot of us don’t think along those lines that somebody’s skin tone qualifies them for president.”
Ping.
Sarah Palin on Harry Reid:
“You can’t defend those comments… That way of thinking is quite foreign to most Americans today. I come from a very diverse state. My family is very diverse. I’m married to an Alaskan native. A lot of us don’t think along those lines that somebody’s skin tone would be criteria for, a qualification for the presidency. So his thinking and articulating of that thought is quite perplexing.”

You know what I LOVED about this clip? Sarah Palin was answering a question, O’Reilly interrputed her, she didn’t bat an eye, and finished answering the original question.
You go girl. Nerves of steel.
USMC Thomas commented:
She also didn’t need a TELE-PROMPTER. SOBama sounds like an idiot without a prepared script.
AuntieMadder commented:
manateespirit, I watched the entire Palin segment on O’Reilly. He came across as the typical tabloid journalist, behaving like a pr!ck, interrupting her, trying to trip her over her own words. She stood her ground, of course, and kept her poise. It appeared, at least to me, that she almost – just almost – stumbled a few times but it’s totally understandable. The interview/discussion was more like an interrogation. Suspects have been tricked into giving confessions to crimes they didn’t commit by use of those types of word games.
Then the blowhard O’Reilly had, of all people, Colmes on to critique her performance.
First Glenn Beck ranting about “birthers,” confirming Obamao’s eligibility with “Everyone knows it.” And now O’Reilly, who’d already revealed himself as the yes-man to whomever is in power, going after Palin with Colmes. To hell with Fox. It’s starting to show its Saudi ownership more and more every day. Not even Palin can save it from joining MSNBC and CNN.
LisaGinNZ commented:
Ooopsie, FOXnews, your Saudi is showing!
I wish FOX would “go all the way” and only be a conservative news station. *sigh*
Beck has a role, but cannot talk about the eligibility issue: Saudi says ‘no’ (ala Little Britain style)
Sarah to throw a few ninja stars and get paid a couple bucks.
go Sarah!
Dell commented:
The interview, of course, was NOT about O’Reilly, it focused on SP and she did quite nicely, thank you very much! Once she gets comfortable and starts to roll, I strongly suggest you listen. The lady says out loud what millions of us wish we could. Sarah Palin may not win the presidency….Hell, she may not ever run! But I honestly believe she’ll have a LOT to say about who does. She has a tremendous following and, despite what they say, Democrats have one eye on her at all times.
myna commented:
She is awesome. Go Sarah go!
senatorseven commented:
Not a single “uhhhh …” Not one. She knows who she is and she’s comfortable in her skin. Love it.

i still can’t believe Chris Dodd is still getting a pass
on what he said about Grand Kleagle Robert Byrd!!
Dodd praise for Byrd
["I do not think it is an exaggeration at all to say to my friend from West Virginia that he would have been a great senator at any moment," Mr. Dodd, Connecticut Democrat, said while praising Mr. Byrd last week on
the occasion of the eight-term Democrat's 17,000th Senate vote.
Mr. Dodd continued: "He would have been right at the founding of this country. He would have been in the leadership crafting this Constitution. He would have been right during the great conflict of Civil War in this nation."
Mr. Byrd has admitted he joined the Ku Klux Klan in 1942. In a 1946 letter to a national Klan leader, Mr. Byrd wrote that he had held the rank of "kleagle" in the KKK. In the Senate in June 1964, Mr. Byrd made a 14-hour filibuster speech in an unsuccessful effort to block passage of the Civil Rights Act.
[..]
Mr. Dodd was among the Democrats who called for Mr. Lott to lose
his leadership post and said his party would deal with such comments differently.
“If Tom Daschle or another Democratic leader were to have made similar statements, the reaction would have been very swift,” he said on CNN’s “Late Edition” on Dec. 15, 2002. “I don’t think several hours would have gone by without there being an almost unanimous call for the leader to step aside.”
Former Thurmond aide Armstrong Williams said that Mr. Dodd’s
April 1 speech “is far worse than what Trent Lott said.”
“If Byrd had been a leader during the Civil War, he would have been fighting for the preservation of slavery,” said Mr. Williams. “Thurmond was never a member of the Klan and he defended blacks against the poll tax and lynching. If Byrd and Thurmond were alive during the Civil War and Byrd had his way, Thurmond would have been lynched.”]

AuntieMadder commented:
No, Dell, it wasn’t about O’Reilly, or at least it wasn’t supposed to be. Whatever. He could have interviewed her like an interviewer is supposed to do. He showed more respect and less contempt for his guests in his recent interviews with reps from CAIR.
Yeah, Palin handled it well. But she shouldn’t have had to handle that bs at all, especially from an inferior like O’Reilly.
AuntieMadder commented:
And he brought that libtarded wuss Colmes in to critique Palin’s interview. Holy crap! Palin should kick both their @$$es.

pardon me, but i feel i must be a pia & re-post the
following to emphasize the undeniable Dhypocrisy..

BE CIVIL?
By Frances Rice
It’s a sure sign that Republicans are winning a debate on issues when Democrats, aided by well-meaning civility police pundits and activists, demand that Republicans stop showing their passion and “be civil”.
I am still waiting for those with such a keen sense of civility to demand that Democrats cease their unrelenting and uncivil, even racist, attacks
on black Republicans. I won’t hold my breath.
High on the Democrats’ list of those to be denigrated are accomplished black Republicans who do not toe the Democrats’ liberal agenda line. Shamefully, Democrats do not want poor black children to have as role models any black person who does not engage in victim mongering and works hard to become prosperous rather than become dependent on government handouts.
The message that Democrats gives to poor blacks is despicable. If you remain poor, uneducated and vote for Democrats, we will celebrate your victimhood. If you get a good education, get a good job and vote for Republicans, we will denigrate you as “acting white”, a “sellout”, an “Uncle Tom”, a “House Negro”, a “House N-word”, a “Lawn Jockey”, and worse..
Brazenly, on the left-wing Internet website called “The News Blog,” Democrats posted a doctored photograph of then Maryland Lt. Governor Michael Steele (now chairman of the RNC) when he was running for a Senate seat, depicting Steele as a “Simple Sambo” with a blackened minstrel-style face, nappy hair and big, think red lips. The cartoon caption read: “Simple Sambo wants to move to the big house”. This contemptible racist stereotype is the same one Democrats used to demean black men during the era of slavery and segregation.
In addition to other outrageous racist images of Dr. Condoleezza Rice produced by several Democrats, cartoonist Jeff Danziger depicted Dr. Rice as an ignorant, barefoot “mammy”, reminiscent of the stereotyped black woman in the movie “Gone with the Wind” about the slave era black woman who remarked: “I don’t know nothin’ ’bout birthin’ no babies”. This is the type of racist stereotype Democrats used to demean black women during the era of slavery and segregation.
Democrats now love Gen. Colin Powell, but spewed out racist attacks on Powell before he endorsed Obama and embraced the liberal agenda of higher taxes and a bigger government to provide poverty producing handouts to blacks.
A video was shot by WKRN Video Journalist Beau Fleenor at Tennessee State University in Nashville, Tennessee that shows Al Sharpton demeaning Gen. Powell and Dr. Rice, when Sharpton was asked to give his opinions about whether Powell and Rice were “House Negroes”. That video can be found on the Internet.
An article that appeared in a Portland, Oregon paper was one of many exposing how hardly a ripple of protest was made by black Democrats when Harry Belafonte publicly denounced Gen. Powell as a “House Negro”.
With impunity, the late Democrat Senator Ted Kennedy called black judicial nominees, including Judge Janice Rogers Brown, “Neanderthals”. Democrat Senator Harry Reid slurred Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as an incompetent Negro who could not write good English. “Slap at Thomas stinks of racism,” was the headline of the New York Daily News’ December 7, 2004 editorial.
Even black Democrats will be maligned if they dare step off of the Democratic Party’s political plantation. When black Democrat Juan Williams wrote his book entitled “Enough: The Phony Leaders, Dead-end Movements and Culture of Failure That Are Undermining Black America” that exposed the deplorable conditions in black communities caused by the Democrats running those communities, Williams was denounced on national TV by another black Democrat as a “Happy Negro”.
For details about how Democrats during the 1960’s even smeared Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who was a Republican, see the article posted on the NBRA website.
“Civility, Ours and Theirs” is an article that provides more details about how Democrats vilify black Republicans while wagging their finger at Republicans about being civil.
Our political discourse can be elevated to the high standards demanded by the civility police only when Democrats are also required to play by the rules of civility.

Serious question: has O’Reilly always been this bad? I used to be a fan. He lost me when he underestimated the crowd on 9/12 in DC.
Has he changed or have I changed? I used to think he was fair…what’s happened?
Correa commented:
Sarah will do well, she has a great following of the regular citizen and not the elite libtards, we the people will take back our country. Bill has such an arrogance about him so it is expected that he would try to out do Sarah.. We will see in time how she will shine and we will be reminded of Ronald Reagan.

O’Reilly lost me when he agreed with Harry Reid that the war in Iraq
was “lost”.. he should have stuck with watching out for our kids, he was
a wonderful watchdog when it came to our children, other than that, he didn’t “stay the course” so to speak, imho, he fell hook line & sinker into the “i’m a celebrity” gig..

As momma used to say ‘O’reilly has the big head’ from too much money. I think he wants to be on the Communist News Network (CNN) but don’t have the guts to change and show his real beliefs.
Bill commented:
Dear Libs: When one of your own heroes, Harry Reid, displays his utter ignorance and 60′s racist mentality, you have nothing more to say do you? You defend him, which only makes you look more foolish, or you throw him under the bus and leave no one to take his place. The end of your liberal experiment is near. Look at the polls. The people are standing against you. Free people and free markets will win. “Negro Dialect that he can turn on and off?” What an ass.
Jack commented:
yes….it’s becoming irritating to watch O’Reilly…
