Did The Palin Administration Exclude Blacks?

Members of Alaska’s African American community say Sarah Palin shut them out of her administration.

BS Article - Blumenthal video  (center)

CLICK IMAGE TO VIEW VIDEO On April 29, 2008, 14 leaders of Alaska's black community met with Governor Sarah Palin to voice discontent with her minority hiring record. Palin's alleged response, which was first reported by journalist and blogger Earl Ofari Hutchinson, only compounded her icy relationship with some of her African-American constituents.

Their allegations are contained in my latest video, which was produced with support from the Nation Institute Investigative Fund.

Not a big surprise. Along with her lack of knowledge in foreign policy Sarah Palin is quit oblivious to diveristy. There is more to this gret nation than Hockey Moms & Moose slaughter.

Palin needs to go back to Alaska & McCain needs to move back to Arizona, where polygamy thrives in Colorado City, Arizona (McCain's home state) where thousands of American families (10,000 people) are systematically stripped of their democratic rights and women & children are abused. John McCain hasn't lifted a finger to stop it. What qualifies McCain to be president when he can't even clean up the Taliban in his own backyard? Take a look at the trailer for the recent alarming documentary, BANKING ON HEAVEN. http://www.bankingonheaven.com

Where are the minutes to this report? I won't believe the slurs against Gov. Palin until they're produced.

One of the complaints Gov. Palin made against her former brother-in-law, a policeman, was his treatment of the indigenous Native Eskimos. It's buried within the Alaskan Legislative report recently released on Palin and her husband. The investigator, a Democrat, never directly asked any of the witnesses regarding this matter.

It would be illuminating to discover the breakdown of Native Eskimos, Yu'piks and other indigenous people compared to African-Americans in Alaska.

Almost immediately after Sarah Palin was picked as McCain's VP, a well-known liberal blog that solicits donations for Obama, encouraged its readers to spread lies about Palin. One blog began to keep count of the fabrications about her and basically grew weary at 70 and stopped.

It's difficult to completely trust liberal writers on any subject regarding Palin as many of them are so obviously partisan. I've read six different statistics regarding the population of Wasilla, and two or three figures re. how many colleges she's attended. I've read numerous times on the Huff Post (by commenters) that she made women pay for their own rape kits, which is a lie.

Victoria Socks, a liberal feminst, has corrected some of the errors still in circulation about Palin.

To DaConcernedOne:

For your information, Sen. Joe Biden made numerous errors during the recent VP debate. At least three concerned foreign policy. Gov. Sarah Palin made one error when she mispronounced the name of the commanding general in Afghanistan.

Biden wasn't even able to define the role of the VP properly. He mixed up Article 1 and Article 2 of the Constitution. He stated that the Vice President only has power through the Legislative branch. Wrong.

Palin got it right; she stated that the VP is the President of the Senate and has power in both the Legislative and Executive branches.

Biden's been a member of the Senate for over 30 years and is on the Foreign Relations Committee. What's his excuse?
