Palin: Obama Is “Palling Around With Terrorists”
(CBS)
(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.

Ayers is unrepentant about bombing American targets, saying he''d do it again as recently as 2001.
Sorry, but Ms. Palin is correct, an people honest with themselves know it. Who you choose to have as friends says a lot about you.
A person''s accent has nothing to do with intelligence. Accents and regional dialects. Let''s not lower the bar already on this post.
I guess, according to your reasoning, I have never seen Jesse Jackson or Jack Kennedy, or Barney Frank properly quoted either, to name a few.
We really want to tell it like it is for the electorate.

Knowing someone on a professional level is a lot different than saying a person is a friend. Ayers was investigated but never charged, Obama is also friends with accused graft person Rezko, but in all fairness, McCain was and remains friends with members of the Keating 5, Palin is pals with 6 times indicted Ted Stevens and her hubby is a member of an anti American secessionist group, and Sarah Palin is under investigation for abuse of power.

How old was Obama in 1995 when he stood in Bill Ayers'' living room to announce with Alice Palmer that Obama was her choice to replace her in the state sentate?
I think Obama would have been 35 or so.
I''ll just repost what I said to the other Dem who''s panic response was to say oh now the gloves are off . . .
I think people assume Palin''s making the terrorist comments because she wants to be VP. But if you look at her record, she''s never shied away from addressing budgetary decisions. That Palin would focus on riff-raff instead of the economy clearly to me shows the top of the ticket is setting the agenda (meaning Magoo).
That being said, I guess if Palin accepted the position of VP nominee to McDon''t, then the ''gloves being off'' is fair game.
I''m just not sure it behooves Dems to escalate the fight if you''re already ahead because your point of strength is the economy . . . doesn''t allowing yourself to get dragged down into the mud actually work against you? Like isn''t responding ultimately be self-defeating . . .

Add to that Palin''s cockeyed wink and her penchant for not answering any question and treating debates like extended ad spots for the McCAin campaign...way to go Joe six pack and hockey moms--guess having an ordinary Joe in Bush--did not fvck the country up enough for Republicans. LOL
Tony Rezko
Bill Ayers
Jeremiah Wright
B: he''s a war monger
Passing off these kinds of absurd distortions as truth is not helping her cause. If McCain really wanted a shot at this, he should have dumped her right after the Couric interview.
Guess you''d rather have a Jimmy Carter in disguise.
Let''s see how you like a 21% prime interest rate like Jimmy gave us, because with Biden/Obama, that''s right where we''re headed.
But that''s what makes her so endearin'' to folks!
First because ''experience'' and attempting to marginalize Obama have never worked for anybody, not even Billary. And McCain''s no Billary.
Second off, because it refocuses the campaign on Palin as well.
Just goes to show you how incompetent he would be as a leader that he can''t address the economy head on imo.

Ayers was never convicted of anything was he? And didn''t he apoligize for his acts later? We don''t forgive people for their past indiscretions?
Is that why the right is okay with putting a man''s former mistress in the white house as first lady? is that why McCain and the GOP are okay in offering up a woman with a knocked up teenage daughter as VP? Is that why the GOP overlook the ongoing Troopergate investigation of abuse of power?
Either stick to the standards or do not--but if what a person has done in the past is what we must judge them by--there would be no one, except maybe Joe Biden (who plagarized a speech) to run for office.
Sorry, as an Independent--I say neither party has room to talk and I certainly don''t want to hear it from a semi literate, incompetent person under investigation in Alaska.
Instead he says that he can''t.
Obama is George McGovern and Jimmy Carter combined into a slick skinny cigarette-smoking package.
We don''t want another administration like that!
Just more of the same!!

Jimmy Carter in disguise beats Demented, PTSD McCain and his Bush in drag VP any day of any week of any month, in any year of this millenia.
Blowing up buildings?
Saying in 2001 that he should have done more?
Bragging about what he did?
Charges were dropped because the FBI bungled the investigation.
But he did it, he admits it.
He wishes he would have done more.
And Obama announced his state senate candicy from Ayer''s living room.
Obama''s a hard core liberal.
They''re smart, tough, they''ve got fresh ideas and are assertive about pursuing them . . .

Yeah, and McCain is a B.S.-in'' double-cheecked-chawing dude.
Obama-Biden are by far the best choice to lead our country out of this national nightmare we are now in.

There is nothing liberal about blowing up stuff and death and destruction, that is pretty much the purview of neo cons--that,blowing up daycares and abortion clinics, sending letters through the mail with bombs and torture--of course. Neo cons live for the bloodletting.

Both he and McCain were apallingly passive . . .

Gee I did not know the unibomber was a "neocon" LOL
So you don''t think the 25+ bombings that Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground weren''t a big deal, huh?
Obama is a Bill Ayers Liberal.
He announced his state senate candicy from Ayer''s living room in 1995.
''nuff said.
Bill Clinton helped cause this mess by changing the rules and forcing mortgage companies to give home loans to people who couldn''t afford them.
But you''re not going to hear that from CBSABCMSNBCCNN or Public Radio/TV.
Obama-Biden are by far the best choice to lead our country out of this national nightmare we are now in.

Hey vet. Name the laws and or policies that where authored by Bush, that led us here. Or name the laws or policies that were pushed through the legislative branch with only Republican approval that has led us here?
Posted by HawkSprings
Obama tried that remember? But he could not catch up to insane, glory hopping McCain who was too busy imploding his campaign by pretending to suspend it, then sitting silently at the bailout summit and finally, repeatedly taking credit again and again for a vote ended it failure.
Can''t reach across the aisle to forge a solution if every time one side offers anything, McCain runs to the cameras,pretends like he thought of it then proceeds to humiliate himself.
Why did McCain go to the debate again? after he said he would not debate until the recovery bill was a done deal? what happened to keeping his word? too inconvenient?

And you are confirmed with a clear cut case of cranial-rectal inversion.
Obama and Bill Ayers are friends.
Bill Ayers is a terrorist.
Sarah Palin is saying what the news media should have been saying 18 months ago but instead are trying to protect their Glorious Leader Obama.
Her Happy" Because Sarah Palin is
A "TERRORIST"!

What you don''t know would probably comprise at least a million universes. But don''t worry--just don''t answer questions and deflect to a subject that you do know..so ...how''s the torture and outing agent thing going?
Obama doesn''t reach across party lines.
He''s a liberal partisan.

Yeah, I suppose the truth to a lib can be discusting.
She could have said something not calculated to be so ''folksy'', such as "ASSOCIATED with terrorists". She is such a patronizing, manufactured girl.
''''nuff said.
