The speech was written by George W Bush's speech writer
so she is just reading the script.

wikipedia on Westbrook Pegler
============
Interest in Pegler was recently revived when Republican Vice-Presidential nominee Sarah Palin quoted him in her acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota. "We grow good people in our small towns, with honesty and sincerity and dignity", she said, a Pegler quote that also appeared in the book "Right From the Beginning" by Pat Buchanan. She did not acknowledge Pegler by name, merely citing 'a writer'.[2] The speech was written by Matthew Scully, a senior speech writer for George W. Bush.[3]

I wonder if Sarah Palin even knew who was being quoted. I kind of doubt it. She seems clueless about a lot of details.

Today written by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, on Palin's quote in her acceptance speech:

'Fascist writer Westbrook Pegler, an avowed racist who Sarah Palin approvingly quoted in her acceptance speech for the moral superiority of small town values, expressed his fervent hope about my father, Robert F. Kennedy, as he contemplated his own run for the presidency in 1965, that "some white patriot of the Southern tier will spatter his spoonful of brains in public premises before the snow flies."

It might be worth asking Governor Palin for a tally of the other favorites from her reading list.'
