Robert F Kennedy Jnr on Palin’s Quoting Fascist Westbrook Pegler

Devout Christian hockey mom quotes Nazi vermin - "we're number one," "conservatives" chant (first in ego-syntonic jingoism ...)

A week or so ago, I blogged about Sarah Palin quoting a writer in her nomination speech. The writer, Westbrook Pegler, was known to be anti-semitic. Today I read this on the Huffingonpost.com by Robert F Kennedy Jnr:

‘Fascist writer Westbrook Pegler, an avowed racist who Sarah Palin approvingly quoted in her acceptance speech for the moral superiority of small town values, expressed his fervent hope about my father, Robert F. Kennedy, as he contemplated his own run for the presidency in 1965, that “some white patriot of the Southern tier will spatter his spoonful of brains in public premises before the snow flies.”

It might be worth asking Governor Palin for a tally of the other favorites from her reading list.’
