YO: (Excerpt off HuffPost as written by RFK, jr.)
"Fascist writer Westbrook Pegler, an avowed racist who Sarah Palin approvingly quoted in her acceptance speech for the moral superiority of small town values, expressed his fervent hope about my father, Robert F. Kennedy, as he contemplated his own run for the presidency in 1965, that "some white patriot of the Southern tier will spatter his spoonful of brains in public premises before the snow flies."
OY Sez: Westbrook baby, we could always count on you to incite more hate. I'm sure Herr Pegler would be saying as much of Barack Obama today.
(PALIN & PEGLER: TWO OF A KIND? IF NOT SARAH, A SUGGESTION: stop reading and quoting him. Next excerpt from Politico)
Palin Quoted Antisemitic Author in RNC Speech
Sarah Palin scares the Jews! From her crazy Jew-converting church to emails your grandmother is receiving right now, it's clear that America's Jews are nervous about this woman. Just ask Ed Koch! This won't help: remember Palin's address to the Republican National Convention? That bit of speechcraft so inspiring that it is already being taught in schools alongside Dr. King's Dream Speech and Billy Crystal's second Oscars monologue? It turns out one of its few memorable non-Obama-attacking lines was lifted from an old anti-Semite so extreme that he was booted from the John Birch Society.
Ziegin' und Heilin'--------all da vay. And of course, OY VAY.

I am not sure it means much.
Some fellatio toward the far right, maybe (I don't like it, but with the libertarians stronger than ever, it is not really unexpected).
But, still, it is a mistake on the Republicans part. If the national media will pick-up on this, it could sway some voters...

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
