Who's Sarah Palin (and other conservatives) dog-whistling to?
Edited on Wed Jan-12-11 02:26 PM by backscatter712
Some reading material:

http://www.harpyness.com/2011/01/12/sarah-palin-and-blood-libel/

Is it just her fundie base? Maybe.

But is it also to white-supremacist and neo-nazi groups who actually believe the blood libel and have it as part of their ideology?

And this in the aftermath of the shooting of a Jewish congresswoman.

Keep in mind she was "palling around" with a secessionist movement back when she was governor of Alaska...

:scared:

1. Todd Palin is a militia member, and an Alaska Secessionist
So, yeah!

3. Seems martyr-ish, to me. She so desperately wants to be seen as being persecuted.

5. She's dog whistling to satisfy the MSM
The "Palin is too quiet" meme was hard for the MSM to justify, so it was a case of "say anything and we'll spin it to our (and her) benefit afterwords".

They are not just her cheerleaders, they are actively campaigning for her.

6. and the gun scopes on her target map are also sometimes used by the KKK.
A cross in a white circle was frequently used by southern racists associated with the KKK to identify the KKK organization.

Sarah is whistling to the white racists as did Raygun.

Wait until the wacko Tea-baggers take over all of the RepubliCON party. Thank the Koch brothers for that one.
