Apparently the site of a praying prolife woman still makes him foam at the mouth.
Quite the nutcase.Greeley’s evidence for Palin’s supposed racism? “She can stir up crowds to shout ‘Kill him!’ at the mention of the presidential candidate of the other party a couple of weeks before the national election,” the columnist priest claimed. Already part of the Left’s established lore, the “kill him” quote was allegedly exclaimed from an audience member at a McCain/Palin rally in Pennsylvania. The story originated with a Scranton newspaper. But Secret Service who were present reportedly never heard such a shout from among the thousands attending and couldn’t find anyone to corroborate the racist insult.
No matter. For Father Greeley, the fantasy that Governor Palin is whipping right wing crowds into a racist fury is simply too delectable to question. But the priest did not accuse just the Alaska governor of bigotry. New York City restaurant goers are guilty as well. En route to the theater to see “South Pacific,” Greely overheard diners loudly discuss how they “didn't know enough about Barack Obama to make a decision about him – as if there were not two books about his life.” Only racism could explain their reluctance about a candidate whom Greely has embraced nearly as ardently as one of the inamorata in his romance potboilers. “That plea implies that they don't know enough about him to accept his strange name or his skin color,” the priest darkly assumed from his eavesdropping of the brief restaurant chitchat. “It is, of course, impossible that they could ever know enough. He isn't one of us.”
