    "I Find her Offensive" {Too!}

    As an African-American female, I too find Sarah Palin egregiously offensive; more so as time gets closer to the "finish line". Those who have found her to being "cutesy" might want to reconsider their definition of that word.

    Being a black from the Southern part of the U.S., now having residence in NYC, I have an excellent "feel" for not merely racism and racists, and have felt the heat of this scourge of mankind in my lifetime. Those feelings NEVER dissipate from one's soul.

    I suspect that were I a person of the Jewish faith, Palin would embody those same characteristics of the accursed Brown shirts during the Hitler reign!

    Yes!! Females of her ilk are worse than her [hooded] male conterparts.
