  Oh, here we go. The whisper campaign begins. How obama of you all.
   
   
  No one is going to buy the waitress with no name and the official who isn’t supposed to talk to the press (but, they’ll talk to Charley - oh, how RICH!)
   
   
  But you know what- go ahead. Play the race card from the bottom of the deck. You are being watched and with every move you make against Palin- you only strengthen McCain.

  Can you send this article to the main stream media (tv)? I would if I knew how. The entire country should be able to read this article. *  cite * 2008-09-05 13:26:45 
   
   
  If this is true, it’s damning. It’s over. I hope you’re prepared to work with major news sources to corroborate this story, because you’re going to be hearing from them, and the bloggers, in droves. * +Comment + * 2008-09-06 17:27:27

  This would be a huge story if “Lucille” was a verifiable source. As it stands, it’s just another easily deniable rumor, or possibly a GOP plant intended to be picked up by left-leaning blogs and discussion forums, with the goal of embarrassing them.
   
   
  If there were in fact people at other tables within earshot, there are witnesses who can corroborate the story. Unless one or more of them, or “Lucille”, come forward with their real names and verifiable details of the incident, this one will be shrugged off as another mean-spirited attack by the left. *  cite * 2008-09-05 13:39:35

  just the fact that you made this indoesment should send shivers down the spines of hard working TRUE AMERICANS. I for one will take every chance I have to debate the Sarah lovers I will come in contact with over the next two months. The reps sure can take the prize for getting out the stupid vote. *  cit * 2008-09-05 13:44:15 
   
   
  ummm…her husband is part native. These web sites are a joke, completely nonsense. If all the crap they say about Palin is true, then why do the majority of Alaskans love her? I live in Anchorage, by the way. So I actually do know what I am talking about *  cite * 2008-09-05 20:30:30 
   
   
  I hate when non-Alaskans write about Alaska. They can never get it right. I lived in Alaska for nine years. Maybe I didn’t hang out with the right crowd (I am not a Republican), but I never heard the kind of slurs this article mentions. * + * 2008-09-05 21:15:47 
   
   
  You asked why Alaskans gave her an 80% approval rating…could it be the $1200. she gave every man, woman and child from oil revenues? That’s a good way to establish a “base”. *  ci * 2008-09-05 22:32:32 
   
   
  Maybe because 80% of Alaskans are white. *  i * 2008-09-05 13:48:53 
   
   
  Not surprised. This IS the Republican Party. * Com * 2008-09-05 13:49:31 
   
   
  Wow!
   
   
  This is disappointing, but I’m not surprised at all. No wonder she rushed back to Alaska after the convention- She has a closet full of skeletons to disappear. *  * 2008-09-05 20:34:59 
   
   
  Not true. She appeared in Wisconsin and I believe Michigan too today with John McCain. I’m no fan of Palin’s. In fact, I abhor her positions. But let’s be sure of our facts. Because if we spout lies and misstatements about her, people won’t believe the truth when they hear it. Please people. It’s important to get your facts straight. *  ci * 2008-09-05 22:51:10 
   
   
  I heard all the computers and against jews tapes are all erased and missing!!! this is a scary appointee hand picked by extreme right wing leaders. Mccain is only a puppet. she is female Cheney she is the real deal. repubs lied in the UN and lied to americans about war. don’t put anything past them. they do scare people to win elections. remember made in america anthrax appeared to elect bush the second time. certain people blindly follow the pied piper. *  c * 2008-09-05 13:51:08 
   
   
  Gov. Palin has over 80% job approval rating!!! *  ci * 2008-09-05 22:08:39 
   
   
  Well, since Alaska is around 20% minority population, that sounds about right. *  cite * 2008-09-05 13:55:28 
   
   
  No wonder the vast sea of white, cheering faces at the Republican Convention went wild for Sarah: They adore the type, it’s in their genetic code. 
   
   
  Hmmm. Sounds like shorthand for Obama-speak “typical white people.” It’s pretty clear who the racist is here. *  cite * 2008-09-05 14:02:35 
   
   
  Really? They hate her? That explains why she has an 80% approval rating in her state - FROM DEMOCRATS. * +Comment by   2008-09-05 14:04:17  I agree wholeheartedly with the article, and I’ve read the email that he mentions from Kilkenny. Unfortunately, some of the language of the article is lifted straight from that email without adequate citation, IMHO. Otherwise, get this stuff out there where more eyes can see it! ci * 2008-09-05 14:39:37 
   
   
  You people should be ashamed publishing this. You dig up unsubstantiated rumors from her enemies and call that news. 
   
   
  I smell desperation. *  cite * 2008-09-05 20:10:29 
   
   
  We don’t know this women and to think that she could be a heartbeat away from being commander and chief, it’s sad and it needs to be exposed. I want to know all the dirt on her, because she can’t be that perfect, there has to be something and I know the more she talks and the more we read and hear we will know the truth.
    I understand the truth hurts, but it will set us free. McCain sorry you know what didn’t do a good job all he saw was her ass and he said go get her.
    Well anyway there is something about her that just don’t set right with me.
    Obama/Biden *  c * 2008-09-05 21:05:35 
   
   
  What do you mean unsubstantiated? The article names two people by name. One is Arnold Gerstheimer, and the other named Lucille who is a waitress. If you have such trouble believing it, why not e-mail the article’s author? *  cite * 2008-09-05 21:14:13 
   
   
  You should talk … how about: Obama is a muslim or Michelle hates America … there are so many lies told by the Republicans that there isn’t enough space in this box to list them all.
   
   
  John McCain spends a month assassinating Obama’s character then has the gall to blame Obama for the McCain tactics because he didn’t “do town hall meetings” with him. I’m still waiting for the “clean campaign” John and Cindy promised. What a JOKE! *  cit * 2008-09-05 14:45:45 
   
   
  Throw this out everywhere, people. We need it on videotape, audiotape, transcript, whatever. People with this kind of attitude, and the willingness to use this kind of language have no business being in leadership positions in our country.
   
   
  I grew up with this kind of crap, now I have to deal with it from my vice presidential candidates? Hell with that! *  cite * 2008-09-05 14:46:17 
   
   
  Is this for real and confirmable? Are these people willing to sign sworn statements? I’d have to say if this were true and provable, then this would be very big news. *  cite * 2008-09-05 14:49:16 
   
   
  Ok, maybe I am not psychic; however, listening to Ms. Palin the other night prompted me to dust off my copy of “It Can’t Happen Here”. Highly recommend reading this before TOMORROW!
   
   
  I also enjoyed a more recent spin “It Can Happen Here”.
   
   
  Enjoy
   
   
  And thank you. How appalling. * Comment by * Te * 2008-09-05 14:49:56 
   
   
  this is a total crap hit piece.
   
   
  an unnamed waitress? are you serious? what kind of journalism is this??? *  cit * 2008-09-05 15:02:26 
   
   
  Yeah, I’m sure she hates eskmo’s being that her husband and kids are all part eskmo. *  * 2008-09-05 20:07:26 
   
   
  I don’t know whether the article is based on truths, but it’s NOT impossible for Palin to “hate Eskimos” while being married to one. My stepmother married my father, a Mexican, and has two sons with him. But she regularly made racist comments re Mexicans anyway. Go figure. *  cite * 2008-09-05 15:03:26 
   
   
  wow!!! i hope this isn’t true. i admit knowing very little about alaskan politics, but this is very disappointing. there needs to be some verification to determine if this is indeed accurate and if it is; it should be brought before the media in a greater light. i’m an obama supporter, but we don’t need this (another rove type, but a female; now that’s scary). it’s cool though because obama is no creme puff when it comes to political muscle. he can always turn to chicago political muscle which trumps anything palin has been exposed to in a remote state like alaska. remember, he trumped the clintons and that was no small feat. i predict if this is true; palin’s real personality will be exposed and i mean really exposed. the former mayor daley and his son can play some serious hard ball and obama is from illinois. * +Comment by   2008-09-05 15:04:09  Can you post the audio from the interview? Can you post the full phone interview? Need some more details, yo. cit * 2008-09-05 15:10:32 
   
   
  no way! the WAITRESS said it? and only gave her first name? It MUST be true! You all are so smart!

  Way to sink to the level of gutter writing just like the KOZ, you are printing hearsay as fact. Sarah has you so worried. I am loving every minute. She will wipe the floor with Biden the buffoon in the debate. This kind of desperation just makes me more confident that “Sambo” won’t tarnish the White House. * +Comment by Rose Ba href="http://www.laprogressive.com/2008/09/05/alaskans-speak-in-a-frightened-whisper-palin-is-%E2%80%9Cr
