Is Palin anti-Semitic?

Probably not. 

Of course, she could be, but I wouldn't get your panties in a bunch over the latest news from Gawker.

As it turns out, the gun-happy Alaskan quoted anti-Semitic author, Westbrook Pegler, in her now famous pithy speech at the RNC last week. 

"We grow good people in our small towns," said Palin, "with honesty and sincerity and dignity."

The thing is, the guy Four Eyes quoted was a staunch anti-Semite and incredibly right-wing, so much so that he openly wished for the assassination of Franklin Roosevelt.

Yeah.

What I'm getting at here is, do those 14 words amount to anything? Not really. Should her speech writers have paid a little more attention to their choice of words? Hell yes.

That or they had some real chutzpah.
