Like many conservative pundits, Sarah Palin is criticizing President Obama for his administration’s inconsistent statements on the Benghazi, Libya, attack. Unlike many conservative pundits, Palin used the term “shuck and jive” to describe Obama’s behavior.

In a Facebook post today, Palin wrote: “Obama’s Shuck and Jive Ends With Benghazi Lies.” She also used the term in the text of the post, which concludes, “President Obama’s shuck and jive shtick with these Benghazi lies must end.”

I don't think Sarah Palin qualifies as a pundit. That's someone perceived as having a certain expertise and authority, she's just someone with unthinking partisan opinions.

So is Walter, but I'm adding this here so he can't give me another red one for it.

Today the left is predictably freaking out and accusing Sarah Palin of racism for using the phrase “shuck and jive.” For those unfamiliar with the phrase it means to avoid the truth by dancing around an issue.

Now lets rewind to White House spokesperson Jay Carney’s press conference from September of last year.

I recall Sarahahaha being very indignant when anyone used the R word.

Wonder what she thinks of Mann Coulter doing the same.......?

The following is a guest post in the form of an open letter from Special Olympics athlete and global messenger John Franklin Stephens to Ann Coulter after this tweet during last night’s Presidential debate.

Finally, I wondered if you meant to degrade him as someone who is likely to receive bad health care, live in low grade housing with very little income and still manages to see life as a wonderful gift.

Nope, not racist at all.

"To shuck and jive" originally referred to the intentionally misleading words and actions that African-Americans would employ in order to deceive racist Euro-Americans in power, both during the period of slavery and afterwards. The expression was documented as being in wide usage in the 1920s, but may have originated much earlier."

Did Palin admit it was the Republican Congressional leaders who took the funding out of embassy security which enabled the attacks? Or, do we again have the following take place ....

When in doubt and there is no reasonable argument remaining; applying the 'racist' tag works in a jiff.

Obama should have made a deal with the Republicans that he would beef up security in Libya in exchange for NOT using taxpayer funded jets to go on the campaign trail and maybe leveled-off the number of golf games to 50 or so, instead of the 100+ he played on the public's nickle.

It'd be a wash transaction.

It may not be "politically correct" but it was a VERY accurate description of what the President and his flunkies are doing.

But, now CBS and ABC are also beating the bandwagon about Libya, and that bodes very ill for President Obama. Finally, at least some of the mainstream media is taking notice that this man simply can tell the difference between lies and fairy tales.

At the present time under the current circumstances the government would have to be
utterly mad to tell what they know, either to the Republicans or the nation as a whole.
What is more significant is the opposition knows that, and if they don't it would clearly
demonstrate they do not have the knowledge to be in the oval office.
When something like this is going on it is kept confidential in order to gather information
and determine who is ultimately responsible. Who appears to be responsible is not the
same as who is responsible This is secret service stuff and Palin should know it
Of course having Palin come forward and be in the spotlight is like the kiss of death for
Romney

As well as his opponents, and all of the media commentators.

So what's the point? it's like accusing him of breathing. Everyone involved in the campaign is doing it.

You don't have to make a thinly veiled racial slur out of it, though.

And don't try to pretend it wasn't, how many times did Palin use that phrase in the past?

That is what this is all about isn't it? Look at when Adam Clayton Powell and his crew started classes on how to pull this activity off and not get caught. And then they did get caught and got voted out. By who? Their former students Charlie Rangel, Maxine Waters, John Conyers, William Jefferson and others. It all still just this act for many who sit in our Congress!

Palin comes to the party late.

I'm sure someone else began pointing this sort of nonsense out earlier, but left leaning Glenn Greenwald was pointing this out as early as the 20th of September.

Obama officials' spin on Benghazi attack mirrors Bin Laden raid untruths | Glenn Greenwald | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk

Palin (amongst others) is only bringing this up now because of political motivations. If she actually cared about journalistic integrity then she would have joined Greenwald much sooner.
