In case you’ve missed it, Fox News is making racial attacks on MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry again. The excuse this time is Harris-Perry’s remarks about Mitt Romney’s African American grandson – for which she has profusely apologized. But while Fox News contributor Sarah Palin was oh-so-stirring in her “free speech” defense of Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson’s insulting remarks about gays and blacks – she has suddenly lost her First Amendment fervor and is now on her high horse with holier-than-thou sensitivity on behalf of the Romney family.
To refresh your memory, Palin offered up these patriotic words on the Hannity show in support of Phil Robertson when he was under fire for suggesting homosexuality was in a league with bestiality and that African Americans were better off under segregation:
This is all about freedom, free speech. You know, so many American families have spilled blood and treasure to guarantee Phil Robertson and everybody else’s right to voice their personal opinions. And once that freedom is lost, Sean, everything is lost in our country.
A few days later, while still defending Robertson, this time as part of an “exchange of ideas,” Palin admitted she didn’t even know what he had actually said because she had never bothered to read the interview that was the cause of all the controversy.
But last week, Harris-Perry held a discussion in which she and her guests joked about Mitt Romney’s adopted African American grandchild. Unlike Robertson, Harris has unequivocally (and subsequently emotionally) apologized. But, apparently, “freedom of speech kind of gal” Palin is not only unwilling to give Harris-Perry the same “freedom” as Robertson, she used the opportunity to make political hay at Harris-Perry’s expense.
Palin took to her Facebook page to suggest that Harris-Perry is a racist:
Leftist media hounds are not expressing an opinion with this attack; they are expressing a prejudice that would never be accepted if it came from anyone else but the lib media.
You mean like it was not accepted from Robertson – just reinstated at Duck Dynasty and relentlessly championed by Fox News?
Palin also said, apparently not thinking of any hypocrisy from herself or Fox News:
You really need a conscience, yellow journalists. May your 2014 New Year’s Resolution be to find one.
No word on whether Palin bothered to find out what Harris-Perry actually said before condemning her and the "lamestream media" over it.
There is no need to comment further if they can’t figure out the stupidity of your argument, but since I know they will read mine and ATTACK me, now is my chance to mention that Obama is probably responsible for the deaths of two of previous gay boyfriend who were gun down just when his run for POTUS started. Don’t take my word for it. Larry Sinclair an ex-Obama gay lover and lover to the other two that were killed said so. There is a Police Record of Obama being questioned by Chicago police, but the murders remained unsolved.
We know what happened to Hillary’s boyfriend Vince Foster, and there were so many violent deaths surrounding the Clintons, they have started a "death list’. These are leaders we ca be proud of.
The GOP love her because she is “hot” – that is why Faux news hired her.
The ice princess needs to be called out on her own failures, including not finishing her term as governor, and spending more time on the road than with her children.
She is a self-serving, aging broad who thinks everything she says is relevant. Dumb as a box of rocks.
NOTE TO PALIN
Stick that in your Facebook, half governor.
