RFK Jr.: Palin quoted fascist, racist writer in that acceptance speech

[tblue]

Fascist writer Westbrook Pegler, an avowed racist who Sarah Palin approvingly quoted in her acceptance speech for the moral superiority of small town values, expressed his fervent hope about my father, Robert F. Kennedy, as he contemplated his own run for the presidency in 1965, that "some white patriot of the Southern tier will spatter his spoonful of brains in public premises before the snow flies."

It might be worth asking Governor Palin for a tally of the other favorites from her reading list. /snip

7. I remember Westbrook Pegler

His column appeared in my smalltown paper, in PA, where they'll steal this year's election.

He was disgusting.
