Sarah Palin has posted another angry attack against President Barack Obama, but this one seems to have an ugly hint of racism and a call to violence. Does it?
No one has ever accused Sarah Palin of being subtle. So perhaps her anti-Obama screed posted to Facebook Wednesday night was just a word salad chock-full of phrases that sound racist and violent — but aren’t?Â
Paging Glenn Beck: “Not racist, not violent, no longer silent”?
Palin, agreeing with Rush Limbaugh, last night slammed the GOP for taking impeachment off the table, and posted this photo along with her attack on Obama:
“Rush is right. The GOP wants to take impeachment off the table?,” the former governor of Alaska wrote. “When will you learn liberals won’t hate you less if you play nice in these tumultuous times? No matter how polite, complacent, and complicit you are, Obama will continue to harm our Republic and make you impotent. Even today, his very un-presidential speech mocked you for always being a’ ‘hat in’.’ Your apathy is their power.”
Impotent?Â
“After soothing Obama by reassuring him that he’ll never be held accountable via the ultimate serious check on his lawlessness, you’ll now ease on down WHAT road to stop the madness?”
OK.
“Ease on down WHAT road”?
This is all I’ve got for that:

And, of course, this:
How is using a term from the movie “The Wiz” not racist?
And does this sound like a hint at violence?
“What’s the plan to stop his fundamental transformation of America? Please don’t tell us you’re armed with a phone and a pen and now a bunch of lawyers filing suit. You can’t bring those to the front lines and win.Â
“And please don’t underestimate the wisdom of the people. We see Team Obama’s obvious strategy in pushing you back in a corner as you lay down the ultimate weapon of force our Founders provided you in our Constitution.”
Here’s how some responded to Palin:
