Palin's out making speeches and selling her new book about the war on Christmas. She warns of slavery by the yellow peril but explains that it's totally not racist:
"This free stuff, so seductive. Why do you think marketers use free stuff to bring people in? Free stuff is such a strong marketing ploy. But didn't you all learn too in Econ 101 there ain't no such thing as a free lunch? Our free stuff today is being paid for by taking money from our children and borrowing from China. When that note comes due -- and this isn't racist.. but it's going to be like slavery when that note is due. We are going to be beholden to a foreign master. Because there is no plan coming out of Washington, D.C. to stop the incurrence of debt."
Interestingly, that wasn't what brought the crowd to its feet cheering wildly. It was this:
“Remember their promise that they would do everything in their power to fight against socialized medicine, against Obamacare? When it came time to stand and defund it, they waived the white flag of surrender and they threw under the bus the good guys who did stand up and fight.”
They really thought their shutdown stunt could work.
