Palin is wearing white again, inciting the racist crowds (???)

This is how a post at the DemocraticUnderground.com starts! The members at this site are stating simply that because Sarah Palin is wearing a white (top - jacket if memory serves me correctly) at a Florida rally, that she is a racist! She also wore a black skirt in this image,

and I believe she work black pants or skirt in another rally that I viewed while watching Fox News.

To simply state that someone is racist simply because of the color of clothing they wear is not only ignorant, it is also slander! Florida temperatures at the time were in the 80's (Fahrenheit). There are many people that wear white and while it is considered a faux pas to wear white AFTER Labor Day (some fashion industry standards say it is ok), it still doesn't imply that someone is a racist!

The statement made by the Democratic Underground blogger (simply known as Roberto1223); however, is slanderous! Not only does he put himself in jeopardy of a law suit, he jeopardizes the site at which the comment was made. It also spreads ignorance among the ignorant. How long does it really take to google an image to see how factual the statement is?

I first came across this subject at Michelle Malkin's blog where when first reading I mis-understood her point (she was making fun of idiots that thought color of clothing meant something) and thought she actually BELIEVED the statement. Sorry Michelle! I would like to thank her for sharing information to alert the rest of us about the lies, stupidity, and slander that is being spread during this campaign. It is important that each and everyone of us stay informed and vote for issues and not the gossip.

Remember! Don't just simply believe what you read, watch, or hear. Investigate and research (a little) and find out the truth. Wearing black and white does NOT make you racist!

The Democratic Underground has simply hurt any credibility they might have had by allowing their members to post items like this. It is one thing to not like Sarah Palin; it is another to slander someone simply to discredit them.

SNL Tina Fey as Sarah Palin in Palin/Joe Biden Debate

Here is Saturday Night Live's Tina Fey portraying Sarah Palin once again. Here is SNL's interpretation of how the Palin/Biden debate went.

SNL Palin/Biden link

I watch about 3/4's of the debate. While there are some truths in what SNL portrays, There are a lot of misrepresentation as to what happened as well. Safe to say that SNL does not care for or respect Sarah Palin.
Maybe instead of talking about politics, the cast should run for Governor, Senate, Congress, President, etc. How well would they be able to stand up to their own scrutiny?
