Today, we a have a pail full of Palidiocy. Ms. Palin seems to think that hyphenation is really, truly wrong, and destroying this oh-so-great country.
“#?BlackLivesMatter? is a farce and hyphenating America destroys us,” the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee wrote on her Facebook page. “Shame on our culture’s influencers who would stir contention and division that could lead to evil such as that in Dallas.”
“Shame on politicians and pundits giving credence to thugs rioting against police officers and the rule of law in the name of “‘peaceful protests.’ It is a farce. #BlackLivesMatter is a farce.”
“Black Lives Matter? Yes – more than BLM “protestors” can grasp, as evidenced by their self-destructive provocateurism,” she wrote. “Doesn’t it go without saying that Native lives matter, too? And Asian; and Eskimo; and Hispanic; and Indian… and every other race comprised of people who see clearly the agenda at play to weaken America through disunity.”
Eskimo? Really? You live in Alaska, and you’re using that word. If anyone actually needed proof you’re a yapping idiot, there it is. I wonder, have you ever bothered to ask any Inuit, Yupik, or Aleut people what their thoughts are about that? I’m pretty sure none of them want you speaking for them, or speaking about them.
“Self-descriptions that put any race in front of being an American are now used to further divide our nation. It’s time to acknowledge you’re either an American under our system of equality, law and order – and traditional patriotic spirit – or you’re not. nock [sic] off the hyphenation of who we are. And knock off the shoulder chip if you’ve let ‘leaders’ burden you with it through their example that sadly capitalizes on division for untoward purposes. That chip is crushing the people’s hope.”
“So if we’re to take sides, I side with the Thin Blue Line. To side with our public servants trying to keep law and order amidst political agendas that clearly oppose that virtue is how the good guys win again,” she wrote. “It’s the only way to ensure our best days will be ahead of us. Join me.”
Join you? No. Not ever. Ms. Palin, you’re a walking, talking, evil. Banal as can be, and it’s people just like you we all need to work against, with every fiber.

This is such an infuriatingly privileged point to make.
Saad:
Yes. A damn stupid one, too. She rails on and on about the horror of hyphenation, then starts slamming Black Lives Matter. Apparently, ‘black’ has a hidden hyphen.
Caine:
Any group they don’t like is “dividing America” simply by associating with that group. On the other hand being in the self-declared “Tea Party” group, and the “Christian” group somehow strengthens America.
And what the is it about being so fucking supportive of our “public servants” only when those “servants” are cops? Isn’t the Tea Party all about the government being so incompetent we have to disband most of it?
The government is evil and incompetent unless they are killing black people, regulating bathrooms, proselytizing Christianity, and controlling vaginas. Then they magically turn into public servants.
Kengi:
In a nutshell.
Flailin’ and failin’ Palin has long been accused and rumoured to say “arctic arabs” when referring to Alaskan Indigenous Peoples. Her repeated ignorance and overt racism this time doesn’t surprise me at all.
Her use of “eskimo” is akin to David Duke saying “darkie” instead of a word beginning with “n”. Only a racist would think using alternate racist terms is inoffensive, would think it makes them not look racist by saying it.
I seem to recall Palin using the imagery of war and actual targets when defining the Tea Party strategy for winning political races. Pretty divisive to say the least.
Elsewhere in the mists of the deluded, this (not unrelated) very recent quote at FSTDT amused me:
Mrs Palin is pushing a chip on the shoulders of her supporters.
I think Sarah Palin has painted herself in a corner. I don’t know whether she likes it or not, but she can’t go back being a sportscaster and she’s lost or quit all the offices she’s run for (and won’t probably get any office unless Trump appoints her). Her streaming media enterprise failed and I can’t see her in any skilled job. I’m not sorry for her a bit. I think she’s going to annoy us and try to make things worse the next few decades.
I guess uniformity is key -- how sad. Hyphenation is a wonderful sign of diversity in any population or community. Too bad Palin wants everything uniform lilywhite.
