As you know Martin Bashir made some comments on Sarah Palin's idiotic comments on race; he has apologized and been fired. Sarah Palin has responded to this situation by accepting his apology (now that he's fired) - but of course she made sure everybody knew who the real villain was.
"My role is to accept his apology and be humble enough to accept it and move on," Palin said during an appearance on "Fox & Friends."
"But I just hope that unprovoked attacks like that don't result in people being hesitant to jump in the arena anyway, to get out there and serve the public or start a business or really commit themselves to changing within their family, their community, their world, doing whatever that they can, despite the fact that in this world, you are gonna be hurt and attacks will come your way. I just hope an attack like that doesn't make people hesitate."
So I gotta ask - have you been affected by this?

I am still going to start a business, because I'm brave enough to stand up to people who criticize me for being a racist piece of crap! | |

(37,573 posts)Because the (short) clip that Bashir showed really did not have anything to do with race, although Palin DID seem to understand that she would be attacked as racist for making the analogy.

(11,804 posts)Our free stuff today is being paid for by taking money from our children and borrowing from China, she said at the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition's fall fundraiser at the State Fairgrounds Saturday night. When that money comes due and this isnt racist, but itll be like slavery when that note is due. We are going to beholden to the foreign master.

Especially since being in deep debt simply IS a type of slavery.
