Hmmm…it seems that some are accusing Palin of racism for saying that Obama “doesn’t see things the way we do” and “pals around with terrorists.” The latter may indeed be overstating the relationship, and even mischaracterising Ayers & Dorn, as they were more communist revolutionaries striking at fairly “legitimate” targets rather than at innocent 3rd parties, but at least she is in the ballpark. And given Obama’s associations over the last 20 years, and his boyhood mentor in Hawaii, who was a Marxist, the former seems legitimate as well, at least by the standards of political campaign discourse.
So the Obama campaign and its supporters may, by their freely bleating “You’re RACIST!” at every opportunity, ultimately be weakening the stigma of being called racist.
And it strikes me that this doggy Palin is a female, so they are calling Palin a bitch.
And that means we can say to the photographer: “You’re SEXIST!!!!”

Cute picture, though.

The dog looks like a Chihuahua, which is a code word for “illegal immigrant”. Probably doesn’t even speak English.
It’s even worse if the dog ISN’T female. Where are your family values, now, Republicans?
