Sarah Palin refers to Black Lives Matter protesters as ‘dogs’ at rally against Iran deal

http://www.rawstory.com/2015/09/sarah-palin-refers-to-black-lives-matter-protesters-as-dogs-at-rally-against-iran-deal/

Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin suggested on Wednesday that President Barack Obama should call off the “dogs” in the Black Lives Matter movement.

At a Tea Party Patriots rally against the Obama administration’s nuclear deal with Iran, Palin began by saying she wanted to bring some “sanity to this discussion.”

“Thank you for gathering to uphold the promise that was made, the promise of never again,” Palin told the crowd. “And thank you for gathering as we can because we are still a free people. And if you love that freedom, think of that.”

She continued: “Oh and you know, since your president won’t say it, since he still hasn’t called off the dogs, we’ll say it. Police officers and first responders all across this great land, we got your back! We salute you!”

... that's a common phrase. I disagree 100% with the sentiment expressed in her comment, mind you, but it's a little disingenuous to say she actually called the BLM protesters dogs.

Wait till she finds out he has no intention of using her for anything besides his campaign.
