One of Palin's Favorite Authors Hoped for RFK Assassination!

This was written by RFK Jr. himself!

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.


This is simply outrageous and ought to be enough to sink her and McCain unless they come out and disown this freaking racist facist nutjob. He's ONE OF HER FAVORITE AUTHORS, one in which she quoted in her ACCEPTANCE SPEECH!

1. Not surprising, given her associations with radical and secessionist ideologies.
Will the Corporate Media pick it up? Probably not.

3. Interesting but
I'm not sure it's worth bringing up. They'll just retort with all that William Ayers crap again.

5. Wrong. Obama has never quoted Ayers or used him in a speech.
Obama has disowned Ayers to boot.

6. It's worth bringing up.
Fuck what they say about Ayers. Palin approved of this guy in her speech two weeks ago.

13. And while I agree with you
Edited on Mon Sep-15-08 05:58 PM by tomg
that she knows no more know about or has read Westbrook Pegler than I am fluent in Old Frisian, that she has no idea of who he is or what words are being put into her mouth is even better when she gets called on it.
