Elisabeth Hasselbeck To Stump With Palin Today

From CBS News' Scott Conroy:

(TAMPA) Usually it's country music singers who introduce Sarah Palin on the campaign trail, but here in Florida on Sunday, a different kind of entertainer is set to stump with the Alaska governor.

"The View" co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck will introduce Palin at rallies in Tampa and Kissimmee, along the I-4 Corridor, which is considered the most important swing region in this critical battleground state. Hasselbeck is a frequent defender of Palin on the ABC talk show, and her presence is sure to bring additional excitement to the large crowd that has already gathered here in Tampa.

Later on Sunday, Palin will head to Asheville, a city in the Appalachian region of North Carolina—a state the Republicans had hoped to lock up long ago but where polls remain tight.

You''d better call McCain and tell him that the Annenburgh''s aren''t reputable because they are Republicans just like you two are and contributed a lot of cash to his campaign. So, by your own words, McCain''s campaign is being funded by people who are associated with Bill Ayers - which makes him an associate of terrorists by association.; Reply to this comment


by darlene91406 October 27, 2008 4:48 AM EDT: For example, Governor Arnold Schwartzenagger would love to run for President one day but he can not because he was born in Austria. Do you really think if Obama''s birth certificate wasn''t authentic or ''lost'' - that the Republicans would stand for him being in this election??? THINK! THINK!! They are playing to fears just like they have been doing for years and years.; Reply to this comment


by darlene91406 October 27, 2008 4:46 AM EDT: Sighing....to EVERYONE who thinks Obama is a Muslim, or wasn''t born in the United States of America, or has Terrorists ties, or whatever you are blaming the fact that you don''t want to vote for him because he is black on...know this:

YOU CAN NOT RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IF YOU WEREN''T BORN ON US SOIL. IF OBAMA WAS HANGING AROUND WITH TERRORISTS, THE FBI WOULD BE ALL OVER HIM...and OBAMA IS NOT A MUSLIM IF HIS FATHER IS FROM KENYA AND HE HAS A WHITE MOTHER!

Geesh! Just say you don''t want to vote for him because he is black. It is more honest and prevents you from looking as if you don''t take the time to research your information.; Reply to this comment


by jbee52 October 27, 2008 3:30 AM EDT: LOL OMG Sarah....yeah, he''s not even a citizen...let''s go with that one. Good thing Palin and McCain haven''t gotten wind of this huge story that''s about to break out.... what would ever happen if he were truly exposed!?
Check snopes if you want to find out whether or not he''s a citizen. (yawn); Reply to this comment


by jbee52 October 27, 2008 3:28 AM EDT: He was even named citizen of the year, and has been a professor for many years. would a community knowingly embrace and reward such a "terrorist?"

His quote about not regretting what he did with setting the bombs and not doing enough...please read his entire quote so you''ll understand better. This was a time in his life where he was a punk basically and wanted to send a message about war. No one was ever hurt with his demonstrations because they would call ahead of time as to not harm anyone- quite different definition of "terrorism" than we''re used to knowing.....yet Sarah Palin acts like there''s this secret Obama no one knows about.
Sorry to go off topic, but it annoys me how 1 sided these people can be without exposing the entire story.
I don''t even watch the View anymore because of her. And Palin? If you can''t name 1 freakin'' source with which you kept up with political news....lady, the moose juice has gotten to you.; Reply to this comment


by jbee52 October 27, 2008 3:27 AM EDT: I had to add one more thing to this list. I am disgusted that EH can not check her facts before screaming out on the view "He pals around with terrorists!!!" I really hope EH or someone from the View reads these boards because then they can direct her to a site like factcheck.org I believe it is that thoroughly lists the events that happened and what is true and what is false.
In this article it describes the relationship Mr. Ayers and Mr. Obama had. It was an educational foundation they both served on....a board that the Republican Governor supported, along with a contributor to the McCain campaign!! Also, Mr. Ayers has been seen as a giving, caring man in the world of education around Chicago. (cont''d); Reply to this comment

Obama''s Birth Certificate - Still Missing
(http://www.rightsidenews.com/200810262351/editorial/obama-s-birth-certificate-still-missing.html)

After a recent article I wrote, My Mother''s Birth Certicate - And Obama''s, a number of people e-mailed me with FactCheck.org''s "proof" of the certificate. But let''s not forget that FactCheck is owned by the Annenberg Foundation, the same foundation that gave millions of dollars to Obama and his unrepentant terrorist pal William Ayers for an "education" project. To me, that makes FactCheck ipso facto the least credible source of factual information.

Infinitely more credible is the research done by, among others, Pennsylvania attorney
Philip J. Berg (ObamaCrimes), Chicago journalist Andy Martin, ContrarianCommentaryBlog and author Jerome Corsi (The Obama Nation), who have cast persuasive, data-provided doubt not only that the birth certificate(s) so far produced were blatant forgeries, but that Obama - and his leftwing media lapdogs - have been concealing the fact that he was born in a hospital in Mombasa, Kenya, a birth his Kenyan grandmother is on record saying she and Obama''s half-brother and half-sister attended.

What else has Obama failed to provide to a public - and an electorate - that deserves to know everything possible about a presidential candidate?; Reply to this comment

Sorry you will have to paste this address or type it in. But you need to see it. You will have a better understanding of what kind of woman Palin really is.; Reply to this comment

This will give you a good idea of who Palin really is. She has no conscience.; Reply to this comment
