How about saying, "now now there's no need for racist remarks."
It wasn't extremely clear but it sure could have been the n word. Those events are crawling with security, perhaps instead of calling attention to the comment she was better off letting the security detail handle it.
I heard it right at :39. I believe Palin heard it as well because she raised her voice to drown it out. My guess is that she did not want to dignify it with a response and thus spoke louder to over power the person.
To me it seems that is what most public speakers do when first faced with hecklers. It is only if the commenting continues that they point it out.

Reason: typo
Maybe we should give the racist woman some credit. She was being honest. Instead of calling him a "Muslim" or an "Arab" the new code words for "I'm not going to vote for him because he's black". Like "states rights" has been used against blacks in the past.
Perhaps she could have announced that comments of that nature will not be tolerated, and if the comments persisted, security will seek to remove those responsible . Even if she didn't feel that way, it would have been responsible, professional, and courteous of her to do so.
Anything to that effect would suffice.
