Sara Palin accuses Santa Clause of being a Socialist and engages in anti-semitism. This lady was almost vice-president of the US. I have no words to describe this.

...this is a humor article.
"d E. Druckman is a humorist for the web. He gives his views on current events in both text and video. You can find out more about him by visiting his MySpace profile"
I wouldn't bother going to TMZ to find the video of Palin calling Santa a Socialist. There is, however, an amusing video of the Pope getting tackled if you're into that sort of thing.

The whole "santa's a socialist" thing is just rhetoric and comes as no surprise to me at this point. Red-scare fearmongering has been a common tactic since muslim fearmongering became less effective. But the repeated and unapologetic anti-semitism really is troubling. As if it weren't bad enough to say to the woman "your last name sounds Jewish," she commented on her anti-semitism by showing further xenophobia. Maybe she has a point, though, because it would be easy for those heathen jews to confuse Jesus and Santa Clause. :eyeroll:

I'm certainly not a fan of Palin. But I hope that someone noticed this at the bottom of the article:

I'm pretty sure this editorial was intended as "humor."

Especially when they get suckered by humour articles. ;-)

I had no idea what a humor article was until now.
Edit: I guess the Onion counts, but that is blatantly obvious.

Druckman is a humorist but did Palin actually say the words?

If she actually said that stuff, I think the press would be all over it. A quick internet search reveals that no reputable news organizations are covering the story. I think the quotes are satire as well.
Although as satire goes, I would say the author touched pretty well on the fact that people will believe absolutely anything about Sarah Palin.

I don't know if that's true. If someone were quoting her being articulate, well-informed, and/or professional, I wouldn't believe it even if it came from a reputable source.
