Palin Silent On Market Dive, Effusive On 1960s Radical
(CBS)
(WILMINGTON, OHIO) - On a day when the Dow plummeted 679 points to close below the 8,600 mark for the first time since 2003, Sarah Palin didn’t mention the tanking market at a rally here. Instead, she devoted the better part of her remarks to questioning Barack Obama’s relationship with 1960s radical Bill Ayers.
Palin took the crowd through a timeline of the Obama campaign’s apparently shifting public statements on when the Democratic nominee learned about Ayers’ radical background.
“And this is all about patterns, and I’m going to talk about the patterns,” Palin said. “And I’m sure some will say, ‘Geez, you’re getting kind of negative.’ No, it’s not negativity, it’s truthfulness, and American voters deserve to know.”
Palin did speak about the ailing economy in broad terms and referred specifically to the possibility of local job losses at DHL, but she was silent on the day’s developments on Wall Street.
Although she recently declined to call Obama “dishonest” when asked by a reporter, at the Wilmington rally, Palin repeatedly questioned the Democrat’s truthfulness and said that of the two presidential candidates, McCain was “the only man with courage.”
Palin said that Obama’s decision to launch his political career in the living room of a domestic terrorist could be explained by examining the Illinois senator’s ambition.
“It's only gotta be ambition explaining launching your political career in the living room of an unrepentant terrorist, and ambition explaining that you can claim on Tuesday that John's idea was a good idea, in fact it was their idea, and then the next day that the homeowner resurgent plan was actually stolen from you, and then you attack it the next day,” Palin said.

The polls indicate it''s a great strategy.
If an NBA coach had put me in a game and asked me to stop Michael Jordan on a drive to the basket and, of course, I couldn''t - sorry, but it wasn''t my fault. I knew all along I couldn''t.
John McCain asked her to run for vice-president ... is that what a "country first," patriotic leader would do. He is no less a political operative than Karl Rove or Paul Begala.
Ayers was just one of us, all of us, who were infuriated with the fodder of the middle class, and lower class, being slaughtered in VN, while the Cheneys and Bushes enjoyed the high ride.
Dear Lord. Ayers is a non-issue, and he was asked to serve on the board of the Woods Fund, as well as Obama, by Reagan''s friend.
This is a non-issue, but which has legs only with the most ignorant, stupid voters. (And FAUX News.)

Sarah Palin fears the light.
But tomorrow - Troopergate sees the light of day. Sarah Palin''s appeal, will wither away.
Barack''s proposed policies and direction are what leaves him head and shoulders above Mr. McSame.
If you will let what a few fearmongering, desperate GOP party hacks like Sarah Phalin steer you, join the other few sheeple over in the far right aisle and watch (quietly please) while the rest of us turn America back into a country that true patriots CAN be proud of.
You know, like stop invading countries that aren''t threatening us, stop torturing like the Cong did, stop trampling on the constitution that real patriots have bled and died to defend since 1789.....remember, America, the shining example as opposed to the oppressive problem we have become since 2000?
Shame on you, Sarah, shame on you, John. There is a special circle of hell reserved for those gulty of calumny and slander. Your candidacies have lost all credibility and relevance, and you have become dangerous terrorists yourselves.
PALIN DOES NOT KNOW THE BASICS ABOUT ALASKAN OIL
SHE THINKS OIL CANNOT BE EXPORTED FROM HER OWN STATE- AND SHE IS WRONG!!!!!!
10/9/08- A questioner at a town hall-style meeting in Wisconsin said he had heard that "at least 75 percent of the oil drilled in Alaska was being sold to China", and said, if true, he would like to know why.
"No. It''s not 75 percent of our oil being exported," Palin said, suggesting some of Alaska''s oil, in fact, may be going abroad but not that much.
"In fact," she added, "Congress is pretty strict on, um, export bans of oil and gas especially."
--- SORRY SARAH ---
Congress has never imposed outright bans on oil exports. THERE IS NO "BAN" ON OIL EXPORTS.
STUPID SARAH PALIN IS AN IDIOT- CANNOT ANSWER QUESTIONS WITHOUT A TELEPROMPTER, CHEAT CARDS (see "debate"), McCAIN BY HER SIDE TO ANSWER FOR HER, OR SOMEONE TALKING IN HERE EAR.
PALIN/McCAIN CONTINUES TO RUN A CAMPAIGN ONLY WORTHY OF VLADIMIR PUTIN IN RUSSIA.
Again on Tuesday, reporters weren''t permitted to wander around inside Coachman Park in Clearwater to talk to Palin''''s audience, the St. Petersburg Times reported.
When reporters tried to leave the designated press area and head to where the crowd was seated, an escort would dart out, confront him or her and say, "Can I help you?" and turn the person around, Times staff writer Eileen Schulte wrote on the paper''s Web site. When one reporter asked an escort, who would not give her name, why the press wasn''''t allowed to mingle, she said that in the past, "NEGATIVE THINGS HAVE BEEN WRITTEN", Schulte reported.
What the heck is going on? No real interviews. Blame the questioner when Palin cannot answer simple question? Turn Palin into nothing more than a picture on an campaign ad?
There must be something VERY VERY WRONG WITH PALIN for McCain''''s Campaign to hide her in such an extreme way.
We are supposed to vote for someone who does not think the American People deserve questions answered?
The question is whether Americans will allow it. If we do not vote her down because of this practice, it will guarantee that political discourse will be permanently destroyed. Candidates will become nothing more than "advertising campaigns" with pictures and slogans but no real serious questions about who they are or what they will do.
PALIN REPEATEDLY LIED ABOUT "BRIDGE TO NOWHERE"
Sarah Palin FLAT OUT LIED about her supposed "opposition" to the famous "bridge to nowhere" in Alaska.
In her V.P. introductory speech, and repeatedly afterward, she claimed she said, "thanks but no thanks" to the pork barrel project. IT WAS A LIE.
LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO, the Anchorage Daily News quoted her on Oct. 22, 2006, as saying yes, she would continue funding for the bridge because she could get projects through with help from Alaska Sen. Steven''s PORK BARREL federal money. "The window is now while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist," she said.
In a Sept. 20, 2006 appearance of the gubernatorial candidates in Ketchikan, she said, "The money that''s been appropriated for the project, it should remain available for a link, an access process as we continue to evaluate the scope and just how best to just get this done," the Ketchikan Daily News quoted Palin as saying. "This link is a commitment to help Ketchikan expand its access, to help this community prosper. I think we''re going to make a good team as we progress that bridge project."
Ketchikan Mayor Bob Weinstein said he was there at the candidate forum when "she was asked about the bridge and she supported it."
SO PALIN LIES. She''s a weak token candidate- an insult to the much more qualified Republican women McCain could have selected. Oh, and SHE LIES.
PALIN and "ALASKA INDEPENDENCE PARTY"
The Alaskan Independence Party (AIP) believes:
-- Alaska must SECEDE FROM THE UNITED STATES (can you say "49 states"?)
-- That "the vote for Alaskan statehood was invalid"
-- End ALL environmental regulation
-- TURN OVER All government lands to private parties
-- "INFILTRATE" THE MAJOR PARTIES TO OBTAIN ALASKAN INDEPENDENCE
WHAT IS THE EXTENT OF PALIN''S RELATIONSHIP TO THE AIP?
PALIN BELONGED TO THE AIP. A fact corroborated by the AIP until Palin was picked as VP candidate. Then the AIP suddenly changed their story.
PALIN''S HUSBAND SUPPORTED and BELONGED TO THE AIP until his wife ran for governor..
THE AIP SUPPORTED PALIN FOR GOVERNOR.
Vice Chairman of the AIP, Dexter Clark revealed this year:
"the one we were hoping would get elected, Sarah Palin, did get elected... She was an AIP member before she got the job as a mayor of a small town, that was a non-partisan job. But you get along to go along, she eventually joined the Republican Party"
Sarah Palin recorded a nice message to the AIP Convention THIS YEAR, saying that the party "plays an important role in our state''s politics" and that "we have a great promise to be a self-sufficient state."
Is Sarah Palin a radical Alaskan secessionist? She certainly believes in them, "PALS AROUND WITH THEM, and she belonged to their party before it became politically expedient for her to join the Republicans...
The Bush family dynasty, the bin Ladens, the Carlyle Group? Look at http://www.judicialwatch.org/1685.shtml
and

However, we should question Obama''s links not only to home-grown Marxists and terrorists but also with foreign Marxists, such as his Kenyan relative Odinga.
Obama used his elected office%u2014and taxpayers%u2019 dollars%u2014to support Kenya%u2019s Raila Odinga, self touted as %u201CYour Agent for Change,%u201D a violent and dangerous man who made a pact with the Muslims to institute sharia (Islamic law). Odinga%u2019s followers killed 750 people and burned a Christian church with 50 people, many of them children, inside.

"The Bin Laden Group was also heavily invested in the Carlyle Group, the "private equity" firm (and major arms merchant) that, like Bechtel, specializes in the sell-off of public services and other government-insider deals. Carlyle''s best-known bagman, George Bush I, used to make ritual pilgrimages to bin Laden family headquarters in Saudi Arabia to procure their potent baksheesh. When Carlyle''s post-Sept. 11 orgy of war-profiteering began drawing unwanted attention, however, the bin Ladens cashed in their Carlyle chips and, officially, ended the partnership."
Instead, we ARE supposed to look back to the 1960s and hold Barack Obama responsible for what a young radical did -- cuz Obama refuses to snub him on the streets or on education boards.

It appears she also has first hand knowledge of Alaskan terrorist organizations.
She also has proven inept at the energy (her claimed greatest area of expertise) laws covering Alaskan oil that she claims cannot be exported. Those bans were dropped in 1996, is McCain''s living in the past contagious -- It appears Gov Palin has contracted it.

Shame on you, Sarah, shame on you, John. There is a special circle of hell reserved for those guilty of calumny and slander. Your candidacies have lost all credibility and relevance, and you have become dangerous terrorists yourselves.
Paying for a public bailout,ignoring subpoenas, then supporting airhead females for VP and championing pregger teens indeed--what were those conservative values again? Hypocrites.
Gee, could it be because she knows absolutely NOTHING about domestic or foreign affairs, and can only parrot what she''s been taught to say for the sake of the campaign?
