Palin: Obama's 'terrorist... pallin' around': The Swamp
The Swamp

They've told Sarah Palin to take off the gloves, and off they have come.

The Swamp

by Mark Silva

No more Ms. Nice Gal.

Sarah Palin is pulling out the stops - in the aftermath of the running mates' debate, the Republican vice presidential nominee today accused the Democratic candidate for president, Barack Obama, of "palling around with terrorists.''

She was talking about William Ayers, a professor of education at the University of Illinois in Chicago now who was one of the founders of the Weather Underground in the 1960s, a group that took credit for protest bombings during the Vietnam War including blasts at the Pentagon and Capitol.

Obama, who was a child at the time, has in more recent years served on boards with Ayers, an education reformer now. And, while opponents have tried to suggest that Obama's association with the one-time radical is a problem, Obama and others have denounced the past activities of Ayers while praising his recent work.

With Obama pulling ahead of Republican John McCain in the polls, and McCain pulling out of battleground Michigan, the Republican ticket is stepped up its attacks on the Democrat, making his character a centerpiece of the questions they have long been raising about Obama's readiness to lead.

Campaigning in Englewood, Colo., today, Palin told campaign donors: "Our opponent ... 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... This is not a man who sees America as you see America and as I see America."

The Obama campaign dismissed Palin's remarks as offensive but to be expected for a campaign waging a new assault on a front-runner.

"What's clear is that John McCain and Sarah Palin would rather spend their time tearing down Barack Obama than laying out a plan to build up our economy," Obama campaign spokesman Hari Sevugan said in a statement released by the campaign.

Palin said that donors in a greeting line had encouraged her and McCain to get tougher on Obama. She said an aide then advised her, "Sarah, the gloves are off, the heels are on, go get to them."

Ayers, a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Obama live in Chicago's Hyde Park and served together on the board of the Woods Fund, a Chicago-based charity. Obama left the board in December 2002. Obama also served as the first chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a school-reform group which Ayers founded.

The New York Times today reported on their relationship: ""A review of records of the schools project and interviews with a dozen people who know both men, suggest that Mr. Obama, 47, has played down his contacts with Mr. Ayers, 63. But the two men do not appear to have been close. Nor has Mr. Obama ever expressed sympathy for the radical views and actions of Mr. Ayers, whom he has called 'somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8."'

What about Palins Troopergate scandal that strings have been pulled to postpone??What about her witchcraft religion??What about her own family secrets??The rumors about her son and the real reason he went to war??Let's get real here...If she and McSame want to throw mud then it can go both ways. Obama..Put on your boxing gloves and get with it..No way can we afford 4 more years of Bush/Cheney/McSame/Moose Palin...


As usual Palins speech is sickening. " Pallin around "...??..She sounds like a 12 yr old on the way to a slumber party...GO HOME!!


Caribou Barbie might want to stay away from slinging the bs around...."TROOPER-GATE"!


"The McCain-Palin campaign REALLY doesn’t want anyone to know the results of the Branchflower report. This report, due out next Friday contains the results of the ethics probe known as “Troopergate.” An emergency appeal was filed with the Alaska Supreme Court, after Judge Michalski ruled Thursday that the investigation should move forward"


Here's some more straight-talk, my friends

.


I'll start taking Palin seriously when she proves that she can do something other than read a tele-prompter and quote from note cards....you know, something like, give a PRESS CONFERENCE!!!


McCain is in trouble, Palin was a bad choice, and McCain's going to lose partly because Palin loses voters who know she's not ready. But before McCain does, he'll go negative, drive his own unfavs even lower, it won't work, and he'll cost a few more Republican seats in Congress. Palin's national ambitions will be forever tarnished by McCain's bringing her up from the minors too early (although her Repub fans are so resistant to reality, that remains to be seen.)


Watch this creep into the corporate media narrative along with "a week's a lifetime in politics", "Republicans are divided", "Michigan pull-out was a bad decision", and "Sarah Barracuda disagrees".


The Republicans are screwed and sooner or later, that's going to be the new narrative....


I hope the voters spay this pitbull.


Say Goodbye, Sarah, also...

Judges refuses to halt Troopergate investigation

http://www.adn.com/troopergate/story/544566.html


The Obama campaign, too, need to put on their boxing gloves. Fight fire with fire....Really give it to McCain and his 'fake' Hillary Clinton.

Gov. Palin is going to fight really hard for Sen. McCain, afterall, she wants to be president. Her goal is not for VP, she's hoping McCain will win then die.


Check in your area to see if voters are being purged from the rolls, as they're not supposed to be 90 days within the election. And see if you can demand a paper ballot instead of sing the (crooked) voting machines. My former husband was a computer guru working for Exxon. The chips inside voting machines can be rigged. The central computers taking in the vote totals are managed by computer experts who can mess up the vote. defend your votes, folks!
As for Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin, watch for something horrible and outragegous, such as that Obama has attacked somebody physically, etc., on election day, when it's too late to stop the 'rumor' or 'accusation.' These people are desperate and play dirty. I lived in TX 17 years and in FL many years as well, and wow, what a lot of vote stealing went on by our Bushes and Shrubs.


McCain and Sarah are POSERS!

Sarah is being coached by BUSH ADVISORS!

A Terrorist couldn't have done more harm to our country than what we are facing right now by the Bush Adminstration. More of the SAME McCAIN!

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/11/us/politics/11palin.html?fta=y


Any one can see that Sarah Palin is just doing this because she know John McCain is behind in the polls. If they are elected into office I am going to be seriously frightened for the future of this country. Sarah Palin like George Bush and Dick Cheney have already proven that they think that they are above the law and can do things on their own terms. She proved this when she decided not to go along with the trooper gate subpoena.


VOTE OBAMA and Support WELFARE!!! We all want this country to take care of us and let the rich take care of us. We want to watch Opra and Jerry Springer and wait for our Check to Show up. GO OBAMA!! SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!


John mcCain said at the debate, "They went to washington to reform it, but washington ended up reforming them".

With Sarah Palin launching bare-faced, swiftboat attacks like "Obama is a terrorist", you can only wonder whether the John McCain campaign is already reforming Sarah Palin to suit the status quo in washington before she even gets there.

This is Karl Rove politics, well I am not going to plead with Sarah Palin to stick to the issues because she clearly does not know what the issues are.

This is also another proof of John McCain's erratic behaviour


Well, I thought McCain would at least wait until after the debate before he went completely negative....

It is simply shameful to see what this once honorable American has become.

Palin - Americans aren't going to play your Bush/Rove fear games this time !
You're growing Desperate and lashing out in desperation !
Dang Gummit' Palin - you're about to LOSE !

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why would America REWARD complete Republican failure ?

We wont.


There they go again with their scare tactics. The GOP loves to say "terrorist" when they're down in the polls. I guess if that scary word got Bush elected for a second term it's worth trying again.


This just goes to show you how unqualified and inept Palin is with these despicable and reckless statements. Speaks volumes about her character, or complete lack thereof.

She and McCain are devolving into two of the most unlikeable and despicable politicians to hit the stage since Bush/Cheney....hmm, coincidence? I think not. They are cut out of the same mold.

Saw this on another blog, is pretty appropriate:

"Unbelievable how easily the right will overlook the behavior of its own. Obama is "anti-family" but McCain is the admitted adulterer. Obama is "anti-American" but Palin praises secessionists. Obama has connections to Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac but only McCain actually hires their lobbyists."


I have decided today that I will not vote for McCain anymore. He has lost all my respect and I am really starting to despise him. Same goes for his Barbie who can not string a sentence together without at least 2 lies wrapped in.
I do not want to know why I would not vote for the other guy, I don't want to be treated as a child but given reasons, policies, plan so I can judge who to vote for.


Wow, take the gloves off Obama? who's he going to send after Palin? Rev. Wright? Tony Rezko? Bill Ayers? I'm glad that McCain and Palin are finally doing what the media won't, Highlighting the terrorists, america haters and convicted felons that Obama keeps as company. Go get 'em Sarah!

It's about time for Barry's serious lack of good judgement be exposed and his radical ties exposed.
Stanley Kurtz FINALLY got access to the Chicago-Annenburg files that had been "locked up" by the Obama camp in the Illinois State Library. His exhaustive research showed that Bill Ayres was NOT just a casual acquaintance. They attended many meetings together and Obama raised money to fund one of Ayres' "Educational Funds" - that essentially schools young people in his radical beliefs!
He also has ties to other Muslim Radical and his campaign has received money from Hamas and Hezbollah.

I wish the main stream media would stop "drinking the Lool-Aid and look into this left-woing Marxist, Saul Alinsky's befiefs,
It's the company you keep, Barry- and between Rv GD America Wright's 20 years of hate spen out against whites for 20 yerars, your shady deals with convicted felon, Tony Rezko - it comes down to poor judgement, reckless behavior.
Not the kind of man we want leading this Great Nation.
He and his Michelle "America is a Downright Mean Country" Obama- aggry mean woman (ever read her college thesis? SCARY

Give me a break. Sarah Palin is just trying to bring up the ain't ain't ain't garbage Obama is saying on the campaign trail. Obama has so many misrepresentations of the facts on the trail. He is not making this campaign about issues. http://www.bop-o-rama.com.

McCain/Palin '08

Welcome to Socialism. Thanks Bush!


Give me a break! McCain is going to focus on character attacks now that there's an economic crisis?

Just proof that McCain = McCain first.

Now that Palin started that attack, she's open game. Can anyone say Troopergate? Witchcraft? Holding up an investigation?

What about McCain? Everyone knows he stands in a glass house, and is about to start throwing stones. Probably the best way for him to ensure that he loses the election.

The american people are much smarter than this. Simple as that.


Wow. Obama was "pallin" around with Ayers, alright. Ayers was doing his thing with Obama was 8 years old and Obama met him 40 yrs later when Ayers had moved on to other things. He's a college professor now and never been convicted.

But then, we do have her and the results of her troopergate scandal which she refuses to let the results come out.


McCain’s handlers has served notice that the Senator is going to play hardball by impugning Barak Obama’s character—presumably, the man’s ties with the ranting Reverend Wright, the subversive Bill Ayers, the crooked Tony Rezko, the less than patriotic Michele, etc—But what is going to prevent the Obama people from countering by dredging up McCain’s involvement in the Keating scandal, his preferential treatment in getting into the Naval Academy, his graduating fifth from the bottom of his class, his marital infidelity, his second-marriage into big money, his wife’s drug addiction, their 7 houses, 13 cars, etc.? And how would this petty, demeaning nastiness inform voters regarding the real issues? How would it square with McCain’s lofty “Country-First” mantra?

The Senator has stated that he would rather lose an election than lose a war. Perhaps he should recall the example set by his hero James Stockdale and instead instruct his handlers that he would rather lose the election than lose his honor.


Well, this did have an affect on me. I hadn't planned on donating, but this swiftboating caused me to donate at barackobama.com.

And for every new swiftboat, I will donate again.

So, keep it up, McCain. In a way, it is sad to see what you have become. But it is too risky for my children's future to vote for you, which at one point i would have done


I see the Obamatrons were ready with their retorts. Finally, the MSM is covering the Obama/Ayres story, something it failed to do for months. It is amusing that they are now reporting on it only after Sarah Palin mentioned it. The media fell down on their jobs ages ago on this.

I have two words for McCain & Palin: Keating Five

Time to bring it on & remind America who exactly has the problematic connections here.

And someone should put a citronella collar on the pitbull, I'm tired of hearing her yap. The only thing I want to hear from her is why she evades taxes (untaxed per diem for working from home - please - pathetic! but a nice deal if we all had it ya know, doggone it!) & is evading an investigation that she once supported. What a crock! This woman can lie about a criticize Obama - please!


John McCain is a cheat who committed adultury on his first wife Carol in 1979 while in Hawaii, and returned in 1980 and divorced his first wife dumping her for his rich beer heiress. He is a loser and has very apparent charactor flaws with his temper. While his first wife stood behind him while in Vietnam and suffered greatly in her car accident, this loser dumped her for power and money,

He will never get my vote


Wind up this Pit Bull and it barks too!. Palin is only a mouthpiece for McCain so that he can avoid spewing slanderous remarks himself. Its a matter of honor, you know. Send out Palin. She will say just about anything and already has. . We are just entering the dirtiest phase of McCain’s already nasty but losing campaign. Obama will need to be super vigilant to fight this garbage and he will need to send out his attack dogs as well. The SwiftBoaters, Rovian dirty tricksters, Jerome Corsi, Willie Horton ads, Scary Sarah, its going to be like the a Hollywood horror movie until we put the wooden stake into the McCain campaign on November 4th.


You can actually buy JaneSixPack.com or SarahSixPack.com and turn them into political, humor or whatever info sites. Ain't the Internet grand?!


The front page printed layout has the article, boxed with a thin line, upper front left corner. It does not drop to the fold. And oh...the story on Obama winning Florida? The headline is clear and bold under the '60's Bomber' story. Only after you read what is on the front page (jumped inside) do you get the reason for running the story is ... there's not much to the story. But they spill and display a lot of ink to deliberately leave the reader empty. So it's not a hit piece at all. They just did him a New York Times Style full page and a quarter favor.

She doesn't get that the editorial page shreds her, the op-ed page of the same paper today shreds her. DOES SHE EVEN READ THE PAPER BEYOND THE FIRST PAGE? That would be a no.

Sarah Palin may be reading the New York Times. However, she has not learned how to comprehend it just yet. She's only been doing this FIVE WEEKS.


The biggest problem with the Couric and Gibson interviews for Palin is they uncovered the Real Sarah Palin. That is, to say, that any talking points moving forward that are uttered from her mouth, are more than obviously written for her. The campaign did her such a disservice by keeping her under wraps, and her "folksy" charm is now false and unnerving. It's an act, and quite a visible one.


Now, for what the NYT article "forgot" to tell you, see this:

http://24ahead.com/blog/archives/008087.html

For instance, the NYT interviewed someone who had documented evidence of a closer Ayers link to the board in question, yet they didn't include that in their article.

The bottom line is that the NYT and the WaPo are de facto arms of the BHO campaign, and neither source can be trusted to do real reporting.


You know who Palin reminds me of?

Katherine Harris

Harris was also attractive, telegenic and an evangelical so blinded by her party that she would do and say anything. She also ran nasty campaigns and rose more quickly than she should have in the GOP.

Notably, they also ditched her when they didn't need her anymore -- the same fate awaits Palin, particularly if they lose in November.


this woman is a moron...a dangerous moron. when ayers was plotting obama was 8 years old...ayers has been an upstanding member of the community for years now...she is full of baloney this idiot palin...a good christian forgives...does she not forgive the ayers family...they are both upstanding community members...she is a phoney of the first order...yccchhh...god help us if the republicans win...


this is just plain McCarthyism-- guilt by association. And really, it's tragic. I grew up in respect of McCain, but this kind of libel and dirt is truly unacceptable an the press should be able to speak out against it and ban ads from their pages or openly disclaim such statements-- like in Bold 16pt RED Letter CAPS-- we do not Endorse the candidacy of McCain-Palin on grounds of defamation of character and distortion of facts.... Character Defamation is not acceptable means to gain a seat of governemnt. Qite obviously it destroys trust in public office. Such behavior should be called into account by an ethics committee.

Ayers has a right to his life. He should be able to sue as character defamation. 40years ago is not now. So is Obama a terrorist because there are articles appearing about him in Hearst newspapers?


McShame and Troopergate Gal will lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie and throw some distortion, distortion, distortion on top of their lies.

They are so desperate, Sarah may have the Alaskan national guard attack Russia so they can change the topic from economy.


Go Sara Go!!!

Her are some other items about the ticket she must have seen in the Times:
Read on:
A. Ms. Palin does not appear to have made any trade missions since taking office, and former state officials said the state’s trade staff had been reduced under her watch.
Alaska has also sharply reduced its role in the Northern Forum, an association of state and regional governments from countries including Canada, Russia, Japan and China that works on common issues in northern regions like economic development, flooding and global warming.

B. Unbelievable. Sarah Palin finished her closing remarks by quoting Ronald Reagan:
It was Ronald Reagan who said that freedom is always just one generation away from extinction. We don’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream; we have to fight for it and protect it, and then hand it to them so that they shall do the same, or we’re going to find ourselves spending our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children about a time in America, back in the day, when men and women were free.
When did he say this? It was on a recording he made for Operation Coffeecup — a campaign organized by the American Medical Association to block the passage of Medicare. Doctors’ wives were supposed to organize coffee klatches for patients, where they would play the Reagan recording, which declared that Medicare would lead us to totalitarianism.
You couldn’t make this stuff up.
C. At Sarah Palin’s old church in Wasilla, they spoke in tongues. Maybe that’s where she picked it up.
D. This entire election season has been a long-running saga about the rise of women in American politics. On Thursday, it all went sour. The people boosting Palin’s triumph were not celebrating because she demonstrated that she is qualified to be president if something ever happened to John McCain. They were cheering her success in covering up her lack of knowledge about the things she would have to deal with if she wound up running the country.
E. But some Republican strategists who once worked for Mr. McCain say that the attacks and false statements have weakened the brand he built over the years as a straight talker who lamented the bitterness of modern politics. More than half of the respondents in a New York Times/CBS News poll said late last month that Mr. McCain spent more time attacking Mr. Obama than explaining what he would do as president
F. Now comes Ms. Palin, a smiling, bubbly vice-presidential candidate who travels in an alternate language universe. For Ms. Palin, such things as context, syntax and the proximity of answers to questions have no meaning. The Constitution does not state or imply any flexibility in the office of vice president. It gives the vice president no legislative responsibilities other than casting a tie-breaking vote in the Senate when needed and no executive powers at all. The vice president’s constitutional role is to be ready to serve if the president dies or becomes incapacitated.
Any president deserves a vice president who will be a sound adviser and trustworthy supporter. But the American people also deserve and need a vice president who understands and respects the balance of power — and the limits of his or her own power. That is fundamental to our democracy.
So far, Ms. Palin has it exactly, frighteningly wrong.


Desperation is in the air. Sarah is no better than the rest of the swiftboaters, doggone it.

I say throw it all out there, Ayres, Rezko, Wright, ACORN, take the gloves off and bring all the junk that the mainstream media has been ignoring and just let it fly! It's about time - Obama has gotten a pass for too long.


Pure and utter desperation. Ms Lipstick, say hello to President Obama. You may now go back to your moose.


When are we going to hear about McCain's "very close" ties to G.Gordon Liddy, the lead Watergate conspirator. What about his time involved with the Keating Five? I believe he was harshly criticized a just escaped some jail time. Just to be a brat, maybe if McCain was a better pilot he wouldn't have gotten shot down over Vietnam.


I can't believe that what Sarah Palin said is legal. Its lucky she isn't sued for this! Were, say Obama actually a terrorist, he would be in jail, not running for president. Ms. Palin, however, I'm not so sure about! Its just desperation. I sure hope these dirty Republicans lose this election like they deserve to!


The same racist "joe six packs" replaced the old racist terms, now socially unacceptable, and now put the label as terrorists! Still striking the same old emotions, and same hatred from these "closet" racists. If you run out of this to use to get people to like you try and get them to side with you by striking an old emotion they won't let go. It is not okay anymore to say "I don't want a black man to be president" but it is okay to say "I don't want a TERRORIST to be president!!!"" hmmm... makes you think doesn't it...?


She embarrassed herself one way with Katie Couric. Now she's found a new way to embarrass herself. There's a month to go. Wonder what she'll pull next?


McCain campaign's Steve Schmidt, about two weeks ago: "Whatever the New York Times once was, it is today not by an standard a journalistic organization."

Sarah Palin today: "…according to the New York Times, and they are hardly ever wrong…"

Sigh. Why would you vote for these people? Sigh.

I love the rabids right posts. Take off the gloves and travel the sewer to success. We suck on the issues so let's try the lowroad. The "great" Americans prove once again how pathetic they are.


as a canadian watching both political campaigns, i just want to make a couple points. In Canada, we have 4 major parties: The New Democrats, Liberals, Greens and Conservatives. I feel sorry for you with only 2 choices. Secondly, you must admit that the world sees America as a joke. For a SECOND term, Bush was voted in. Unbelievable. He's done more damage to your country and its image than any other president in history. If you vote for McCain/Palin, your country is doomed. You only have two choices. I hope for your sake you make the right one - Obama.


OIL First

here's the answer to the riddle-- McCain has Gordon Liddy in his past regarding Watergate, but Palin has Gordon Liddy in her immediate present circle in regards to drilling in Alaska


here's the article

Group hires Liddy of Watergate fame to promote Alaska petroleum drilling
http://juneauempire.com/stories/042008/sta_270391952.shtml

"ANCHORAGE - The lobbying group that uses state of Alaska money to push for petroleum drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge has hired Watergate conspirator and talk radio host G. Gordon Liddy to broadcast live from Alaska.

Arctic Power spokesman Adrian Herrera said Liddy was hired to broadcast from Alaska for five days in mid-July. His listeners are mostly blue collar and middle-aged, Herrera said."

seems like there's some vested interest in this. Palin's husband is also with BP-- so how much money goes around and into the back pocket when Palin is chanting "Drill, baby, drill" as she corrected Biden.


and does Biden have any personal interests? Seems like there's a Halliburton going on here.


So, if Obama is a terrorist due to his affiliation with William Ayers then it's reasonable to assume that Palin has been shaking hands with our former Cold War enemy due to the fact that she can see Russia from her house?



AMERICA IS ABOUT TO MAKE A HISTORICAL DECISION ON ITS WAY OF LIFE

Numerous forces are at work, pressuring American voters into a decision during a time of extreme stress.

http://pacificgatepost.blogspot.com/2008/10/vote-critical-decision-in-dangerous.html

This is not a time for knee-jerk or emotional reactions. Cool heads should prevail.


Senator Obama has for the most part run a slime free campaign even when personally attacked. I congratulate him on trying to change the way campaigns are handled. I am ashamed by the negative and dirty campaign of Senator McCain. How much lower are they going to stoop. Why not just call him the "N-word" and get it over with.


And she pals around with witch hunters in Alaska. Signs of desperation by the McCain campaign. She's an empty skirt with lipstick.


This from a person who tells successionists to keep up the good work. This from a person who's spouse was a member of a political party dedicated to the destruction of our union. She pals around with traitors. She pals around with those who hate the United States and would destroy it.

Starting to get the idea?


Turns out she actually is a pig with lipstick.


Here's a thought to consider:
The VP selection does not run against the Pres. candidate. The race is Obama-McCain, not Obama-Palin. The media need to stop giving the spotlight to the wrong participants.

Once the focus becomes (appropriately) Obama-McCain (speaking for himself) then I'm sure we'll all be able to celebrate a Democratic victory on Nov. 5.

BTW (change is all I have left after the policies of the last 8 years).


Palin and McCain are threatening our country's very survival by only telling us now that Obama is a threat. If he is a threat why didn't they tell us this a long time ago??

True patriots tell us right away when our country is threatened.


They must have known this for many months and they're only telling us now, when their polls are dropping fast.


Obama is a product of CHICAGO POLITICS. WHOM DOES OWEbama ???
His view of the world has been
shaped by hatefull people and liberal acadamia.
He is so o o o far from Main Street and the basic center right values of most Americans.

LIBERALS HATE WHO PEOPLE ARE.
CONSERATIVES HATE WHAT PEOPLE DO.


Okay, everbody... take a big deep breath and RELAX. It's over. Barack Obama and Joseph Biden could end their campaign this very moment, AND would still win the office of President and Vice-President of the USA HANDS DOWN in November. The repubs are even ashamed of her latest outcry of "Obama Palling Around with Terrorists.." Palin desperately needs this VP JOB as her position as Governor of the state of Alaska Governor is sittin' (as she would say) on a very wobbly fence. Can't wait to see the outcome of the TrooperGate investigation - it's now going forward headstrong. Best of Luck Mrs. Palin :) It's gonna be a tough road ahead for you after November 4.


When your campaign is losing on the issues and losing the debates, the only thing left to try is personal attacks to impugn the other candidates character. Unfortunately for John McCain and Sarah Palin, they lose the character debate too. Sarah Baracuda may be useful to McCain for launching attacks, but she proved beyond a doubt she's not qualified to be VP. She also has the Troopergate investigation results to look forward to. John "I'm suspending my campaign" McCain hasn't looked all that stable recently. I guess desperation will do that to you. The lower they sink in these attacks, the better Obama/Biden will look.


Has such negativity always been a hallmark of American elections? Naive perhaps but I always tune out when a candidate starts talking about their opposition. Not only is it hard to award credibility for whatever the shortcoming may be, (candidates are hardly independent), but why give 'oxygen' to your opponent? Sadly the fact that it-must-work-otherwise-they-wouldn't-do-it, indicates that people ARE swayed by the practice.

I am I alone on this?


"Pallin around". I'm sorry. I'm insulted that Palin thinks most Americans speak like trailer trash. Her glibness and poor diction are not a model that America needs our youth to hear, and it's not what I want to be representative of me in this world. It's sad to say, but this woman has taken many cheap shots in order to cover up her inadequacies. Palin has already set women back 200 years. Not what this mother of daughters wants.


So McCain's letting Sarah get down and dirty while he stands above the fray. There's a name for men who hide behind the skirts of women, and it certainly isn't complimentary.


I guess you racist, communistic idiots would believe the Queen of the Alaska seperatist Group AKip.org...


Yeah, We have a copy of her video address to the Akip.org and her husband was member...


Did she finally pick up an old paper or see some right wing conspiracy video on youtube yesterday...


Where is the video or audio evidence of him agreeing or supporting Ayers...


We have her addressing the seperatist group from their website.... "Now thats Concrete Evidence"


Words directly from the Pig...


You people are sinking into the Abyss and you have to grab at any dumb thing that comes out of her mouth that might save McPain in the butt...


"Your Drowning"


I use to be a Republicant until he picked that wack job... Palin...


Obama Your Mama


The Republican candidates pale in comparison to the Democratic ones. Though Sarah Palin is an idiot,I believe speaking against her probably only lends substance that otherwise would not exist.
I had thought McCain was great for speaking up on behalf of the Dalai Lama and Tibet. But my son pointed out that the issues are what are important, not "photo-ops." And since focusing on that - on the issues rather than on some personal fondness, it's clear to see Obama and Biden are by far the best choice.


Hey, I'll betcha that Sarah is just obeying the command post that picked her (Cheney, Rove). But, she is gunning for 2012. Her remarks about Michigan deliberately contradicted her commander, and came after a siginifcant drop in the polls. This barracuda smells blood, and emboldened by the crowds, the adulation from the right wing, and her money-raising skills, this gal can achieve anything that she sets her mind to. There is a personality disorder lurking in that body, perhaps borderline, narcissitic, but do not underestimate her. She knows exactly what she is doing.


As mcBush and bimbo sink in the polls the unproven lies increase, gosh I am stunned!


Smells like desperation, doesn't it? When you don't have anything intelligent to say, start making stuff up. The McCain Palin campaign has become pathetic in their attempts to show the slightest bit of credibility. The Republicans should keep this in mind: When you're in quicksand, the more you flail around, the faster you get sucked in. Bye bye.


Alaska has long been known for importing mail order brides. Sarah is our first major export. Just as guys browse catalogues of girls from Russia and the Orient, McCain browsed one of potential running mates. One look at Sarah's photo and he shouted "Her. That's her. She's the one I want." More power to him, so long as he keeps her out of Alaska and DC.


Hmmmm....folksy soundin' not real versed in the English language that y'all talk in that Washington area. Sounds a lot like GWBush- but there I go talkin about the past again.

Sarah - "Mr. Davis - what would you like me to say about Obama?"

Rick Davis - "Say that he's friends with terrorists"

OK - pretty obvi to see that Palin is the Mouth of the Lobbyist campaigners for McSame - as evidenced in her interviews, she doesn't have an original though in her body - outside of Wasilla, snow machine, and energy. So, for the next 4 weeks, she will be the 'dirty campaigner' slingin the mud. Ahhhh real mavericky reform.


glad Palin spoke of this in public..now let's see Obama lawyers try to sue her like they did to prevent tv stations over Ayers and Obama...Obama is
friends with Ayers as recent as 2002.and Bernadine ayers is on Movement democratic society )wanna be Communist group) who strongly support O.Keep trying to say board Anneberg Challenge was "charity board"Obama with Ayers and fannie mae and freddie mac and Acorn as a lawyer he "represented all low-lifes" Acorn and Davis and Rezko yes he surely helped the "poor" of Chicago..and the group PUBLIC ALLIES he started in Chicago in 1993 and michelle became Exec.director in 1994 nuthin more than a radical America-bashing group..see his bio on wikepedia


This just in: Palin says she refuses to suspend her wink due to economic crisis, claiming, having these cutesy, folksy things help people forget she knows little about leading.


When you are down in the polls, you will do anything if the issues don't work for you. If after the debate on Tuesday things don't get better for McCain, I am expecting false attacks on Obama for being a Muslim who wants to make Osama Bin Laden the head of Homeland Security.

I can only hope that these types of attacks cause things to go south even quicker for McCain.


And let's not forget Tony Retzko?


Love the pot calling the kettle a "traitor." Especially, when the pot is a fan of the Alaska Independence Party, which advocates secession from the Union. The founder of this party, whose convention Palin spoke to THIS YEAR, said: "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government."

The "first dude" of Alaska was an active member of this party as recently as 2002.

And she wants to bring up 1968? When Obama was eight years old?

Guilt by association works both ways, Ms. Palin.


Well, we have universal healthcare here in Europe so no-one goes bankrupt because of an accident or prolonged illness AND we still have fairly well doing democracies.So no reason to proudly quote Reagan, Mrs Palin ! The quotation just shows that Americans have been exposed to cheap propaganda by their own leaders for years and years and you and Senator McCain take their lead from those people.


You baracksidiots are really running scared. Palin crushes Biden. He was stammering and smiling like a mule eating briars. He lied over 20 times. He could not defend Obamas record.

Once Americans who have not been keeping up with Politics see what Obama stands for, they will pick McCain Palin.

Obama supported by Ayers, Wright and Rezko. How can anyone defend him?

First he didn't hear Wright. Then he didn't agree with him. Then he wanted to talk about race. Did he hear him?? Yes he did.

First he didn't take money from Rezko. Then he didn't get very much. Then he says he won't do it again. Did he take money? Yes, Yes he did.

He says that he doesn't know Ayers very well. He just lives down the road. Some guy I don't know. They worked together. Ayers had a fund raiser for Obama at Ayers home. Does he Know him? OF COURSE.

Obama just can't tell the truth. He won't admit that he knows and hangs with Crooks, Racists, and Terrorist.


When will the voters and the media stop handling Hussein with kid gloves. His association with Ayers is well documented. There are still outstanding questions related to his home and adjacent property purchased with the help of Rezko. I think his campaign has put something in our water supply taht has caused some voters and the media to not see the truth.


Impaling Palin, that's what every every other tooth missing tobacco spitting KKK member is thinking...

She would do more as porn gal than vice president considering what types of vice she might be good at... Yeah they are using their softest hand thinking "drill baby drill."

It is difficult to understand a self respecting woman to vote for someone with her morals... I believe in abstinence, yet both her and her daughter get knocked up and neither were married...

If this were the 16th century they would have burned her at stake, not hat i believe in that kind of justice, but she probably would be happy at a gay person having that happen with her mind set.

This is the one oddest time that I am extra proud to be gay. If all women spoke like her there would be many many more and the USA might do more for people with AIDS like myself.

Just watching the debate made me want to vomit.


So Palin's going to indulge in the desperate cheap shot -- and is going to continue to follow along and do whatever her (and McCain's) handlers tell her to do.

"Maverick" my a**. Just more of the same old ugly GOP.


These republican smear tactics are absolutely repugnant. They are making the division in this country literally permanent.

How can thinking people possibly resolve this difference with others who are rising to the bait that the republicans are chumming the political waters with?

Lincoln said it plainly: "A house divided against itself cannot stand".

I feel as if we are staggering under the weight of this slime and corruption.

We may need a true Jeffersonian solution.

Up To His Eye Balls With 'Em!

At least since 1989 and probably since 1985-1988(when Sen. Obama worked as aa street agitator in Chicago)!!

But of course Chicago knows that & knows how!

They've been connected/associated socially & professionally via The Sidley
Austin Law Firm where "Broadway Baby" aka
Weatherman Co-Founder Bernadine Dohrn(wife of Wm. Ayres) and Michelle
Obama were associates in 1988 & joined by Sen. Obama
there in 1989 as a summer associate (& after law school
graduation as an associate).

The radical/revolutionary Ayers & The Marxist-Socialist
militant Black Liberationists Obamas have been best buds, fellow travelers and professional associates
thanks to the folks at The Sidley Austin Law Firm.

So Gov. Pallin was just telling
it like it is......but more kindly than she should have been!

Just ask Mr. Howard Trienors!

NO OBAMA! NO OBAMANATION! NO WAY!

BE AFRAID! BE VERY AFRAID!


Way to go Sarah! Let's bring out some of Nobama's ugly truths!


"Cunning Linguist" you are neither. Your choice of screen 'name' says all I need to know about you. I'll be sure to NOT tune in to faux news when I want balanced information. McCain's cunning (not) vp choice has backfired. She's an embarassment to our country at a time when we need an intelligent, well spoken person of dignity standing beside the president.


CunningLinguist: your name says it all. Combined with all the attempts to sway people from supporting Senator Obama, it's a very fitting signature!!! Well guess what??? THIS TIME PEOPLE ARE EDUCATING THEMSELVES AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE WASTING THE TIME IT TAKES TO TYPE YOUR LITTLE DIATRIBES!!!~ STRAIGHT TALK EXPRESS??? I'VE ALWAYS RESPECTED OLD PEOPLE, BUT MCCAIN IS A LYING CONNIVING ONE, AND LOTS OF OTHERS FEEL THE SAME WAY!!!! SO KEEP ON DEFENDING HIM...HE'S GONNA NEED IT!!!!


I only saw this mentioned once in these comments...I find it strange that she is trying to associate Obama with Bill Ayers referencing something that happened when Obama was 8 years old and actually questioning someone's "love of country". I seem to remember something about her husband being in the Successionist Party, attempting have Alaska succeed from the US. How is this "love for one's country", when you don't even want to be a part of the country?


With all his associations Obama couldn't even qualify for to be his own bodyguard. What is wrong with you democrats??? His association with Bill Ayers, Rev. Wright, Tony Rezko to name a few is enough to tell me that this man lacks judgment. He's nothing more than a product of the Chicago machine. Just like Luis Gutirerrez. Barack is a freaking liar. He is trying to blame McCain for this financial crisis and it was him and the rest of the democrats at fault. Look at what Barney Franks and Tim Raines did to us. I am so sick of these hypocrits constantly critizing and demoralizing our country all awhile screwing the U.S. and making a profit then pointing the finger at someone else.If you don't like it here get out, there are plenty of people who would love to call America home.


Thanks Bob N. great post. Palin supporters sputterings here demonstrate that her "speaking in tongues" and "alternate language universe" doesn't trouble them in the least. It's evident in their terrible grammar, syntax, spelling, etc. So it's easy to see why they have been taken, bamboozled by McCain's v.p. choice.


Palin is an empty vessel. Much like the conservative movement's principals of shifting the tax burden on to the lower 90% of tax payers and then screwing them with college inaffordability and an uneven and broken health care system.

What a joke the GOP has become.


It's obvious that the Republicans are done. They've got nothing. No record to run on because their party has driven us off the cliff; no plan to do anything other than what they've been doing. And no, saying "We're mavericky mavericks who will maverick us out of this crisis" is not a plan.

McCain is an angry, bitter old man who's idea of leadership is to change his mind every 10 minutes; Palin is an absolute joke, a complete non-entity who aspires to someday become a lightweight.

All they can do now is sling mud and hope some sticks. It's transparent and people aren't falling for it this time.


When all is said and done, look at what the Republican Party has brought us in this decade; constitutional crises, financial crises, and a leadership crisis. McCain and Palin designate themselves as "Mavericks", but they're really legends in their own minds. They are just two people who demonstrate that the Bush/Rove route to the presidency is their route to the presidency. And it's bound to continue--the Repblican Party is calling the shots for McCain/Palin; it's not the other way around. I'm glad Bush wasn't president in 1941; after Pearl Harbor, he likely would have declared war on Hong Kong, rather than Japan. The Republican Party has led us thus far to a decade of infamy.


would someone remind this broad that George w. Busch is the greatest threat to the USA and he is from her party.
