Down That Same Ol’ Path

Sarah Palin just doesn’t know when to give up. Sitting down for an interview with Rusty Humphries, a conservative radio host – obviously, since Palin doesn’t sit down with liberal ones – she validated the “birther” movement by saying that “the public rightfully is still making it an issue.” She went on to say that the McCain/Palin campaign did not do its job properly and failed to raise enough questions about Obama’s background and beliefs, as well as those of people he associates with.

I have no doubt that she was referring to William Ayers, a college professor and acquaintance of Obama, who used to be involved with the radical Weather Underground activist group. Personally, I don’t agree with Palin’s assessment that the Republican campaign did not raise enough questions about Obama, or his friends. I think they did so to a nauseating degree. If they failed at anything, it was keeping to the facts.

Apparently, should Palin herself attempt a run for the presidency in 2012, slinging muddy allegations without a shred of evidence will continue to be her campaign practice; because, had Sarah taken five minutes out of her day to actually look into the whole birther craziness, she might have come across FactCheck.org’s exhaustive investigation into the birth certificate question.

However, as things stand, judging by her comments, Sarah Palin’s main source of information appear to be those brainless disinformation emails that right-wing nuts love to perpetuate.

What is amazing to me is that after the disastrous McCain/Palin campaign, the RNC talked openly about their need to freshen up the Republican brand, yet they have done next to nothing to ball-gag this walking paper shredder.
