Catherine McNicol Stock: no evidence Sarah Palin linked to white supremacists, but she comes from that area

Desperately trying to glom onto AntiPalinMania, professor Catherine McNicol Stock - chair of the history department at Connecticut College - offers a hilarious slab of absolute stupidity called "Intolerance thrives in Palin's Pacific Northwest" (link). Summary: Sarah Palin is from the Pacific Northwest; there are many white supremacists and "antistatists" in the Pacific Northwest; there's no evidence that Sarah Palin is a white supremacist, but...

It has been years since groups such as the Montana Militia, the Posse Comitatus and the Sagebrush Rebels, and individuals such as Terry Nichols and Ted Kaczynski have made us wonder why so many "angry white men" populated our rural regions. Many of us have forgotten the threat once posed by domestic terrorists and instead have turned our attention to foreign terrorists. But we should never forget that in the late 20th century, ultra-Christian, antistatist and white-supremacist groups flourished in the states of the Pacific Northwest - called by many the "Great White Northwest" - the very region that Sarah Palin and her family call home.

This is Madness but if Obama becomes your next pig shit in the white house he will "yell White Supremacists" at all who come against him obama will use race "as a attack thing", to put Whites in line and take us down a road of evil just like in his real homeland country which is not the USA, if you stand by and do nothing but watch you will become the next victim of total evil. Sad to say most will do nothing but watch until the day evil comes to that person door with a rope and a gun in hand calling for YOU! EVIL KNOWS NO RACE. Buy Guns.

The article says more about Connecticut College and contemporary academia than about Palin, Stock, white supremacists, or the Northwest.

Catherine McNicol Stock is a paranoid professor of phanthom phobias, and should be checked into a hospital before she leaves the state of Connecticut. Out here in the west it is not Sarah Palins that you have to worry about, but hispanic gangs, who keep growning in leaps and bounds. It is a good thing you didn't riducule the gangs out west, for then you have good reason to be paranoid. If you know the Truth,the Truth will set you free!

When I first read this lady's screed, I laughed aloud, thinking it was parody. I mean, no one could actually be that idiotic as to seriously write such an article. Then I realized it was an article seriously written and I stopped laughing. It's nearly too much to bear to accept that some people grow up, stick themselves into academia as this writer has done, and then act out as insanely as this. By this writer's reasoning, then, we should all start dismissing everyone and anyone from Chicago because of "bad air." Those "bad air" people from Chicago, they're all criminals due to the "bad air" of the "area" if not the entire "region"...? Insane. I mean, it's just insane. I once drove through and stopped for lunch in the Northwest, in North/central Idaho at that. I guess by this writer's notions that means I'm hitler.

Not saying, for reason, a long time ago i lived in chicago and know south shore at one time it was the best place in the world with long rock beach and the L Running down that long road and the nights with a cool breeze and star night with a full moon and now its the hell that evil white people made, the fact is monkeys now live where humans beings played games with young kids in a park of dreams that is now a drug hell, black's are fools. Obama is our enemy and he hates the ideals of civilization and duty and laws and ideals of right and wrong like so many of you monkeys both black and white and yellow and brown.

"It was the best place in the world with long rock beach and the L Running down that long road and the nights with a cool breeze and star night with a full moon" Wow Fred I didnt know you had that in you? I too used to look at my place of birth with fond memories.....but those days are long gone and so is the neighborhood. Well, gone in the sense of......if your a American. For those citizens of Stanton, CA. have been replaced by the citizens of mexico and s.east asia. In my book that is TREASON and the perps need to be rounded up and brought to justice for crimes against America. I cant begin to explain the detached and out of place feelings an English speaking and American born citizen feels when in such a mess.

Leave it to beaner its all over the only hope is the Gun and war inside the monkey house. blood for blood dead for dead rape for rape and to take back what is our rights as a people from evil doers, think tree and think rope and think government.
