Palin: Obama Is “Palling Around With Terrorists”

Posted by Scott Conroy
(CBS)
From CBS News' Scott Conroy:

(DENVER) It’s safe to say that the gloves are now officially off.

At a fundraiser in Denver, Sarah Palin seized on a New York Times story about Barack Obama’s alleged connection to former Weather Underground member William Ayers.

"Our opponent though is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough that he’s palling around with terrorists who would target their own country,” Palin said.

Palin said that she brought up the connection “in fairness to the electorate.”

“We gotta start telling people what the other side represents,” Palin said.

The oldest trick in the book. In a difficult election when you''re in a hard place and are losing, go for ANYTHING and grab on to it with your life. SMEAR BABY SMEAR--and hope that people are too stupid to check the facts.Along the way you may pick up a couple of fools. Palin has no integrity--Obama can certainly claim more than her. Now Palin feels she is the "informed" candidate since she "passed" the debate thanks ONLY to intense coaching...? She really takes us for ignorant, uniformed fools?! Today, in a time where we are up to the minute and can find anything through the internet? Honestly, the thought that people would believe in her is frightening. Folks, this is the woman that will advise McCain on important issues..To me, all issues are secondary, except for avoiding annihilation. McCain doesn''t even want to TRY and talk to Iranian leaders (contrary to what you are told,it is *NOT* Ahmadinejad). A war with Iran (which McCain/Palin would jump right into without a second thought) would be irreversible, unsuccessful (with *no* winners) and catastrophic.PLEASE, please vote for Obama

Palin is actually married to a documented secessionist, Todd Palin, who is a former member of the Alaska Independence Party. He was comfortable belonging to and being associated with a political party whose founder seemed to delight in denouncing the principles that hold our union together. Talk about consorting with people who hate America, Palin is married to one.

I am so tired of the liberal media and their utter regard for unbiased truth. Sarah Palin is the most refreshing part of this entire presidential campaign. She doesn''t talk Washington-ese and is truthful to a fault.... What about all the negative, half-truths that Obama and Biden are spreading around the country... Biden at least has an excuse for half-truths after an aneurysm.. perhaps it has affected his memory... but then again he was lying (plagarism) in college too I guess

This is the same Palin that''s married to a member of secessionist movement!

So where has the press been for the 2 years Obama has been campaigning for President. Why is it only now "discovering" his releationship with the old Weatherman bombing champion? Does it really want for President a man whose original fan club hated America and was committed to destroying it?

By his choice, John McCain has shown he lacks the wisdom required of a President.

Posted by jMcGilvray at 07:04 PM : Oct 04, 200

Pastdue 1 is absolutely wrong and is a McCain supporter! The only way to fight against the lies and smears from the unpatriotic right wing is to attack more
Posted by kevingrze at 06:07 PM : Oct 04, 2008

If you will reread my post , I said not to attack WITH UNTRUTHS.
However, I must be getting to someone if I am being accused of being a McCain supporter. Just because someone does not call names and stoop to untruths does not make them any less a supporter of Obama/Biden. I realize that many McCain/Palen supporters find this difficult to understand though.

Which means, Todd Palin is one heartbeat from the Oval Office away as well.
Posted by gun_tower at 06:51 PM : Oct 04, 2008

Somebody needs to research how much Todd Palin was instrumental in making governmental decisions in Alaska. We hate guessing and making up stuff so some news agency needs to find out. He seems to have received quite a bit of compensation from the state. We know he was a member of AIP. Why is it that suddenly he has almost disappeared from the screen? Does the campaign want the public to forget him ?

"I guess they don''''t teach you GED students to cite your sources." Posted by rudy654 at 07:09 PM : Oct 04, 2008

A citation is a line of text that uniquely identifies a source.

For example, this is a citation:
*Ritter, R. (2002). The Oxford Style Manual. Oxford University Press. ISBN 0-19-860564-1.

Obama Vote on Illinois bill (SB 2165, 2004)

Senate Amendment 1615 to S. 397, Vote No. 217, July 29, 2005

I turn down job applicants all time who wave their useless advanced degrees in test taking.

In my 26 years in the Software Development Business nothing beats actually doing it before my eyes.

90% of the best programmers are self taught. Drop out Bill Gates ring a bell?


Maybe you need a trip to the dictionary.

Palin said that she brought up the connection %u201Cin fairness to the electorate.%u201D

I do not get this statement. How is bringing up an innuendo, fairness to anyone. It is gossip, and that is what Sarah is doing, she is sitting on her hockey bench and whispering and gossiping. I''ll bet she was looking like she was telling her fans a juicy bit of dirt when she announced this.

Has anyone else noticed that when the Christian conservatives get involved in politics, they, almost exclusively, deal in innuendos, partial truths, blatant lies and downright smears. And all of this in the name of God.

The bills in question are cited. Look them up!

On Obama''s 1996 questionnaire for the Independent Voters of Illinois-Independent Precinct Organization, he clearly stated his support for "state legislation to ...ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns."

Obama opposed an Illinois bill (SB 2165, 2004)

Obama voted for an amendment by longtime ammunition ban advocate Sen. Edward Kennedy (S. Amdt. 1615 to S. 397, Vote No. 217, July 29, 2005),

Kennedy and Obma specifically denounced the .30-30 Winchester rifle cartridge, used by millions of deer hunters since 1895

Obama claimed he doesn''t support licensing or registration because he doesn''t think he "can get that done" - isn''t enough to get around his clear support for handgun registration and licensing.

FACT: NoBama and Biden ARE ON RECORD REPEATEDLY
NOT IN FAVOR OF GUN RIGHTS!
