Joe Miller explains that his totally racist mailer is not totally racist, and does it by doubling down on racism.

"What? Me a racist?"

Attempting to defend himself against charges that showing a bunch of Latino gangsters alongside a warning of “20 million illegals” voting to abolish the Second Amendment is pretty racist, Miller said during a weekend television debate that he was simply confronting a “clear correlation.”

“If you end up granting amnesty to those who don’t value gun rights, who have not been raised in an environment where the Second Amendment is cherished — is considered to be a God-given right — the reality is over a generation or two, the likelihood is very strong that the Second Amendment will not be here,” Miller explained. “We have violent thugs coming across our border and doing violent things,” he went on to say.

So in the Vaguely Bearded One's world ANY brown people who cross our borders automatically do not value gun rights and are likely to be thugs who want to do violent things.

But that should not be construed as racism.

Speaking of not being a racist, my blogger buddy over at Fiery Blazing Handbasket reports that he recently received the following robo-call from the Miller campaign:  

(This is the Joe Miller campaign with an important message.) Hello, this is Sheriff Joe Arpaio. You know our borders are busted and Washington does nothing. But Joe Miller will stop the nonsense. Joe Miller is the only candidate for U.S. Senate with a plan to stop the invasion. Joe will end taxpayer benefits to illegals and foreign aid to nations encouraging illegal immigration and finish the border fence. This Sheriff Joe Arpaio endorsing Joe Miller because he is Alaska's best choice for U.S. Senate.

Yes because when you are trying to convince people that you are not a racist the best tactic is to recruit a sheriff from all the way down in Arizona whose claim to fame is how badly he has treated minorities and immigrants.

Exactly who is running the Miller campaign these days? And does Miller realize that they don't want him to win?

The Sea O'Pee is so desperate to defend their queen that they are willing to take a sucker's bet. Well, almost.

Of course I am very cynical about any “conservative” media member giving an opinion on Palin’s electability because of the inherent conflict of commercial interest in not wanting to offend Palin’s passionate supporters. Interestingly, Nolte’s boss Breitbart and his buddy Ann Coulter have come up with a brilliant (gutless? insincere?) way of navigating this minefield by ridiculously claiming that Palin is too good for the office of the presidency. Without getting into the details at this time, based on personal knowledge I can assure you that this is not what Breitbart really believes about her.

But regardless, to Nolte and all other commentators who claim I am wrong about Palin’s chances in 2012, I simply ask you to put your money where your mouth is. I am officially offering a $1,000 bet, at incredible 100-1 odds, that Palin will not be inaugurated president of the United States in January of 2013. This unbelievable $100,000 offer (along with details as to how I would pay in full with the money I had reserved for the charity offer that Keith Olbermann dodged) is available to the first prominent conservative who takes me up on it.

Well what choice do Sarah Palin's flying monkeys really have but to take Ziegler up on his offer in order to defend their queen?  However their lack of confidence in her is written ALL OVER the answer to Ziegler's challenge:

Under the condition that the bet is only operative if Governor Palin runs, we accept the bet and we look forward to cashing Ziegler’s $100,000 check.

Now, it’s up to the Governor to make sure we win this bet.

Number one they are so insecure about her plans for 2012, that they have to put the caveat "Under the condition that the bet is only operative IF Governor Palin runs," before putting up any MORE of their hard earned money to defend the failed half term Governor that they profess to love. And then they virtually fall down on bended knee to beg her not to make them look like assholes for taking Ziegler up on his bet.

I think that this, more than just about anything else, really illustrates how tortured and desperate the people who still support the Grizzled Mama have become.

There is really only ONE image that does justice to their misplaced faith in Sarah Palin's doomed political future.

That poor dog might stay right there until he starves to death, hoping that his master will come back to him.  I wonder if the Palin-bots are that loyal, or should I say, that delusional?
