Sarah Palin calls Obama "half white or half Black," wants him to "refudiate" NAACP


During a recent appearance on Sean Hannity’s show on FOX NEWS, in which she was pushing back at the NAACP’s resolution on teabagger* bigotry, Sarah Palin claimed that they didn’t care if President Obama is “half white or half Black.”

While Obama embraces his mixed parentage, he identifies himself as African American, not biracial, not “half white or half Black,” but African American. Folks who are biracial or of mixed heritage have every right to declare how they want to be identified and everyone else should respect their choice.

Make no mistake Palin meant this as a diss, a racial dog whistle, intended to defend teabaggers against charges of racism and other forms of bigotry, while at the same time reminding her like minded audience that he is not like them, he is different.

She is implying that white folks can’t be racist against some one who is “half white,” while at the same time reminding folks he is “half Black.” Let’s not forget that Palin’s buddy, radio host and pill popping bigot Rush Limbaugh refers to Obama as a “Halfrican American.” These references have a purpose and its not a celebration of Obama’s diverse background.

In the same interview Palin called on Obama to “refudiate,” (yeah the crazy lady made up the word “refudiate”) the NAACP for its resolution condemning the teabagger movement for the bigotry that is directed at Obama as well as others.

Think about that now, Palin wants Obama to “refudiate” (I guess that means repudiate) folks who are speaking out against the bigotry directed at him. Seriously?

Whenever the teabaggers get together the bigoted signs and rhetoric are not far behind. Lets not forget the time they called Congressman John Lewis, a civil rights hero, the “n-word,” spit on Congressman Emanuel Clever and called Congressman Barney Frank the “f-word,” all in one day.

The racially charged atmosphere that surrounds the teabaggers’ protest is just sickening. Whether its the picture of Obama dressed up like a witch doctor, Tea Party leader Dale Robertson carrying a sign with the “n-word” on it or the kid carrying a sign that says “Obamanomics: Monkey See/Monkey Spend,” its not surprising that many African Americans, including yours truly, as well as decent people of all backgrounds are alarmed by the overt racism on display at these events.

Rather than Palin pandering to her fellow teabaggers she needs to call them out, “refudiate” their bigotry, accept the NAACP’s resolution and challenge her friends to be above the bigotry that has defined their movement. Anything short of that is unacceptable, but sadly expected.
*I refuse to defame a special moment in American history but comparing this ignorant band of blithering idiots to the true patriots who took part in the Boston Tea Party.

11. well the word is in the urban dictionary although it's not quite clear what they mean
Think she's referring to a double negative. I would think or get from this definition that Obama should Refuse to Repudiate the NAACP. Which makes no sense. So is she technically supporting the NAACP??


1. Refudiate 2 thumbs up

buy refudiate mugs, tshirts and magnets
Portmanteau of "refuse" and "repudiate" to make clear you mean "refuse" as in to refuse to accept; especially : to reject as unauthorized or as having no binding force <repudiate a contract>: to reject as untrue or unjust <repudiate a charge>.
With a couple of exceptions — Mr. Bellingham among them — interviewing pot sellers is unlike interviewing anyone else in business. Simple yes-or-no questions yield 10-minute soliloquies. Words are coined on the spot, like “refudiate”...

nytimes.com/2010/06/27/business/27pot


although I'm not sure if she'd know what Portmanteau means. Let alone me. Although what I took from it looking that up would mean Obama should refused to repudiate NAACP's accusation. o_O as someone says.. "That Woman Is An Idiot"

Does she know much english? Or is Red Green her only source for how to pronounce things??

21. She probably means "refute"
Edited on Wed Jul-14-10 04:57 PM by WhoIsNumberNone
Refute: 1. To prove the incorrectness or falsity of (a statement) 2. To prove (a person) to be in error; confute. (Funk & Wagnalls Standard Desk Dictionary)

Add a dash of stupid, and you get "refutiate".

8. SHAME we can't make copies of all those racist signs
the tea bags made and waved around and send them to her. Tell her when they "REFUDIATE" them (what ever the heck that word means) then we American citizens who believe the tea bags are extension of the KKK might change our minds.

9. The Teabaggers ARE a diverse group.
They have some young some old, tall, short, fat AND thin people.

As long as you're white, christian, well off, the teabaggers want you.
They don't discriminate against the mentally challenged or the just plain stupid.

How much more diverse do you want them to be???

(do I really need the sarcasm icon?)

10. The Stoopid never stops
Also no one claimed the $100,000 which only means they were lying about getting spat upon and being called Ni**ger.

She's an idiot and I would shed no tears if she were to drown in the rain like a turkey.

27. I Guess It Proves the Old Adage
If you put a half-dozen monkeys behind a half-dozen typewriters, in five minutes, they could write a speech for Sarah Palin.
