Our land is everything to us... I will tell you one of the things we remember on our land. We remember our grandfathers paid for it--with their lives.
Alas, the quote actually comes from John Wooden Legs, -- I kid you not -- a Cheyenne Indian who was lamenting the white man's genocide on Native Americans. Left out of Palin's epigram? The final line of Wooden Legs' quote reads: "My people and the Sioux defeated General Custer at the Little Big Horn." It seems the Barracuda (and her crack team of researchers) confused the Wizard of Westwood with one of the combatants at Little Big Horn.
There's dumb, and then there's Palin dumb.

That is something about Palin and that Wooden quote. ALmost as silly as this!
ReplyDeleteThe Tribune dug this up: Obama, in his memoir, Dreams of My Father, writes of a story in Life magazine that influenced him -- about a black man trying to bleach his skin white. No such article could be found in Life or Ebony.
