Where did this "Hopety Change" slur come from?
This far-right asshole keeps referring to Obama as "Hopety Change," I think it's because he has combined "Hope" and "Change" to his favorite racial slur, "uppity."

1. Stupid-ass Palin said it first.
"Hopey-changey" God, she's an ass.

2. I first heard it from self-proclaimed "true progressives" back during the primaries....
Like so many of their other slurs (birtherism, etc.), it got passed around to republicans as well.

8. Palin, of course
She made some comment in Florida (I think) recently and said something like "how's all that hopey changey stuff working out for you?"

For me? Pretty damn good!
