I was very skeptical of this when a friend emailed me about it yesterday. Turns out that my skepticism was justified. Contrary to what lefty bloggers, Daily Kosers, and even some media figures are claiming, no one yelled “He’s a n*gger!” at a rally with Sarah Palin yesterday.

The person yelled that he is a “redistributor”.

I’ve embedded the video below where you can hear it, but also note this: One apparently rational member of the Kos community pointed this out in the blog post’s comment section at the time.

THE LADY WAS SHOUTING “REDISTRIBUTOR”. Period, end of story, let’s move on.

For an entire day, a well-meaning, false, yet highly recommended diary has claimed that the woman was actually shouting “and he’s a nigger!”

I don’t blame the diarist. But we should have known better.

But that hasn’t stopped the lie from continuing its march through the internet and I’m sure eventually onto TV and perhaps into speeches. Here are the videos:
