her Facebook page accusing President Obama of engaging in "shuck and jive shtick" regarding last month's attack in Benghazi, Libya. Why the dissembling about the cause of the murder of our ambassador on the anniversary of the worst terrorist attacks on American soil? President Obama's shuck and jive shtick with these Benghazi lies must end," Palin wrote.
Urban Dictionary, the term "originally referred to the intentionally misleading words and actions that African-Americans would employ in order to deceive racist Euro-Americans in power, both during the period of slavery and afterwards."
Politico points out, this isn't the first time the phrase has come up and inspired controversy. Several years ago, Andrew Cuomo, then New York's Attorney General, used the expression while campaigning for Hillary Rodham Clinton. "You can't shuck and jive at a press conference," Cuomo said. "All those moves you can make with the press don't work when you're in someone's living room."
Earlier this week, conservative pundit Ann Coulter inspired outrage when she called President Obama a "retard" following his Florida debate with GOP challenger Mitt Romney.

I can't even believe the dumbest left winger or right winger would believe this. If they do it shows what a sad, sad state the world is & how incurably ignorant our society has become.
eegeesee2 o 16 hrs ago I would say that most Americans of the age group of Palin & Cuomo are (like me) familiar with the term "shuck and jive" (or it's derivative, "shucking and jiving") from the work of the late, great "Dandy" Don Meredith who used the term regularly in the mid-70's while broadcasting Monday Night Football to tens of millions of households. Meredith used ther term to describe endzone dances by (among others) the great Billy "Whiteshoes" Johnson of the Houston Oilers. In that context "shuck and jive" would mean dancing as in "to dance around the issue" which I presume both Cuomo and Palin meant to convey in their comments. Of course racist code makes for a much juicier story 2 weeks from election day.
Law Abiding Citizen o 18 hrs ago I wonder who wrote the 'Urban Dictionary'. I've googled the term, and the reference used by any sight that states it's racist uses the Urban Dictionary as it's source. I have never heard of the Urban Dictionary and it looks to be full of all kinds of racial slurs and not at all a formal dictionary. Still, what formal Dictionary would label whites as Racist Euro-Americans? That alone defies any integrity as the writers of the Urban Dictionary seem to have racial issues of their own.
corgilover o 6 hrs ago Cuomo isn't the only one to use this expression before Sarah Palin.. that bastion of intelligence, "Chrissie" (tingle up my leg) Matthews used it himself-- he said it once in 2000 referring to Bill Clinton "shucking and jiving" and again in 2006 referring to Hillary Clinton-- I notice the so called author of this article left those little tidbits out..
