Personally, I think the more of this absurd crap out there the better. Yes, it’s hard to read or hear about in the moment but the net effect over the next critical period is IMO to turn voters away from the Dems and to reveal the true nature of the extremists on that side.
If she did call Hillary Clinton a bitch, she’d be more popular than ever! ;-)
Who are Dick and Sharon Price?
Interesting question, and I’d love for one of our guys to investigate these two.
Is it challenging to rate the WORST of the worst jokes, rumors and smears?
I nominate this one for the Top Five:

Macranger has been tracking down who was behind the original KOS post.
Two members of Barack of Obama’s campaign, Dick and Sharon Price, created a post today on their “LA Progressive” blog that accuses Sarah Palin of using the name “Sambo” to describe Barack Obama.
Aside from the fact that this constitutes slander, for there is absolutely no evidence - sources, etc, there is more to the story about “Dick and Sharon”. First, their blog only came into being on 10 March 2008 according to whois records.
This is about the time that several satellite Pro-Obama blogs began to appear around the internet, several of which were found to be funded by the Obama campaign. Most likely this rag is funded by the Obama campaign as well.
Secondly, according to sources they are bona-fide Democrat political operatives that are known for planting such slanderous stories about opposition candidate going back for a while now.
The source called them “assassins”.
The fact that the story wasn’t designed to do anything but get the story into Google search engines tells you much of the type of characters these two are - bottom feeders and just what kind of people support Barack Obama.
UPDATE: To note how bad this lie is, the Daily Kos which linked to it earlier deleted the link.
They made national news with picketing by civil rights advocates and the owner of Curious George licesning demanded that he cease an desist.....
Calling Obama “Sambo” would be over the line but Hillary “bitch”, don't see the problem. Her Thighness has been called worse.......
Of course, this is all a waste of time since the original story is false.....well, at least regarding Obama.....
I'm pretty sure it was Sarah Palin... that's what they're saying on DU anyways...

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.
There was a thread on FR for about 30 seconds.
I don’t think she is old enough to remember what Sambo was, let alone call someone that.
As for supposedly calling Hillary what she is supposed to... Ya gotta calls ‘em as you sees ‘em.
Rambo.
Sambo was a little boy from India
Jimmy Carter said it.
This sounds like a Dem planted “rumor” to try to harm Gov. Palin. I don’t know Gov. Palin but, from what little I have seen/heard about her, she would not use that type of language.
This kind of stuff isn’t new for leftists, they have a track record of planting false rumors about conservatives.
This legacy of lies and devisiveness belongs solely to the Democrats who have been driving a wedge between conservatives and liberals for the past two decades or more.
Anybody who could likely have been offended by this, was never going to vote Republican anyway, so who cares?
Sambo is Obmas backwards? Kinda like Osama?
Kind of cryptic, no?
Were it not for something like this, we would have an Allen/Palin ticket.
