Sarah Palin takes on trade deficits, dog whistles are blown, then CNN puts in a bit of unintentional hilarity:

Palin also had words for the national debt, particularly the $1.3 trillion the U.S. owes China.

“It’s going to be like slavery when that note is due,” Palin said, while noting at the same time that the comparison “isn’t racist”

Like the rest of the event’s speakers, Palins words were deeply rooted in a Christian faith.

Because making slavery comparisons is the Christian thing to do. Did the proofreader have Sunday off?
