Was somewhat surprised to hear Sarah Palin referred to as "White Trash" today (Tues 9/09/08) on a national radio program, National Public Radio's Tell Me More, a program about black people and their issues.

Click on: Listen Now under Mocha Moms Palin Sparks New 'Mommy Wars' at the top of the page.

Palin Sparks New 'Mommy Wars' : NPR

Edit: Have to add this for the rabble I wrote I was suprised because the reference was on a national radio program, and specifically on normally oh so politically correct National Public Radio. I do not agree with the NPR's program's slur

I believe the military euphemism is Whiskey Tango.

But of course she is...

Oh my god! It finally happened. Someone has been called a denigrating name in this campaign. Poor Sarah. I hope Obama counts his lucky stars that he isn't subject to name-calling.

First National Reference to Sarah Palin as "White Trash"


Yes, I think previous references have been to "trailer" trash.

Seriously, look at the baby-daddy's website. He calls himself a "F***ing redneck". Please, this family is so WT.

He is but it's against TOS to play tit for tat.

On the plus side N. Korea is looking for a new messiah, come November Dumbo The Stupid can fill the vacancy.

Let's nominate Kate from "Jon and Kate plus 8". Her husband has a Korean flag tattoo. And she's got EIGHT kids!

I didn't know that. I thought she lived in a regular house like most people. There's nothing wrong with living in a trailor-home--mobile home--or whatever they're called. Plenty of nice people live in them.

Whoever starts calling names like that incriminates themselves more than the object of their statement - either side.
