Intolerance thrives in Palin’s Pacific Northwest

Embarrassingly … this little gem comes form the chair of the history department at Connecticut College.

It has been years since groups such as the Montana Militia, the Posse Comitatus and the Sagebrush Rebels, and individuals such as Terry Nichols and Ted Kaczynski have made us wonder why so many “angry white men” populated our rural regions. Many of us have forgotten the threat once posed by domestic terrorists and instead have turned our attention to foreign terrorists. But we should never forget that in the late 20th century, ultra-Christian, antistatist and white-supremacist groups flourished in the states of the Pacific Northwest – called by many the “Great White Northwest” – the very region that Sarah Palin and her family call home.

Allow me to sum up the article. Sarah Plain comes from Alaska which is a fringe distant part of the Pacific Northwest (geography is obviously not her forte). Famous white supremacists and “Ultra Christians” come from Idaho and Montana, also a part of the Pacific Northwest, and this region doesn’t have many black people. Therefore Palin, who may or may not be a white supremacist based on where she lives, needs to answer for this.  

Now my guess is people pay a lot of money to go to a toney little school like this. My guess is the college actually pays for this kind of logic. My guess is the left is right, the market place doesn’t work.

Thanks to HotAir for this one.
