Quote of the day: Palin on Obama Governor accuses Senator of "palling around with terrorists."

  • Palin's descent to slinging scum

    Barack Obama apparently served on the board of a non-profit with Bill Ayers, who almost 50 years ago was a member of the Weather Underground.

    Palin's important adviser whom she sleeps with and is MARRIED TO WAS A MEMEBR OF THE AIP FOR 10 YEARS. THE FOUNDER OF PALIN'S A.I.P. SAID--- "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government. And I won't be buried under their damn flag. I'll be buried in Dawson. And when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home."

  • Their Fear is Palpable

    The Unstable/Unable ticket of McPalin has no recourse but to fall back on slander, deceit, innuendo and lies.

    It's Desparation Hyperdrive for them and they have nothing to lose - but the election - and because they have no cohesive platform to stand on, the only thing left is to speed-read the Karl Rove Playbook of Filthy Politics.

    But I don't think it will work this time. Not for the voters and not for the media. It stinks. And every time we get a whiff it takes us back to Bush 2000 and Bush 2004, and that simple fact will cause people to pause before allowing themselves to be fooled again.

    We are in a time of financial upheaval, insecurity and distrust of the powers-that-be, and it will express itself as ANGER.

    Obama can attempt to stay above the fray (which for the most part I believe he should) but we CAN NOT!

    We must fight back with everything we've got.

  • Media Irresponsibility

    There is something very, very wrong when the media publish a clear lie from a candidate without immediately and definitively refuting it. There are enough "incurious" voters out there who will take the quoted lie as the truth without bothering to check further -- especially if the lie is repeated and quoted again and again. This kind of clearly irresponsible reporting is dangerous.

    Senator Obama is "palling around with terrorists"??? I live on a small cul-de-sac and across the street from a jerk. We even served at the same time on the board for our homeowners association. Then I really saw what a jerk he was and is. Does that make us BFFs? No. Does that make me a jerk? No. Senator Obama lives in a neighborhood with a former terrorist and they have been involved in some of the same community activities. Does that mean he is "palling around" with this person? No.

    The media play a critical role in our democracy and our freedoms. They must quit squandering the responsibility that comes with that role.

  • Some of my best friends are terrorists

    I see nothing wrong with this at all. I lost a clost friend in Iraq, fightings AGAINST the US. Today's 'terrorist' is next weeks activist and next year's hero.

  • More Lipstick On a Pig

    As the saying goes, "You can put Lipstick on a Pig", but it's still gonna grunt and oink -- you betcha. There you go, Sarah, piggin' out all over yourself again, by golly.

  • Chicago is a small town and Hyde Park, Ayers' & Obama's neighborhood is a tiny homogeneous, progressive university neighborhood

    Obama's life in Chicago stinks to high heaven:

    He and Ayres have far more than a passing acquaintance. Together they distributed $100,000,000.00 (yes, A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS) to various leftist organizations such as ACORN, where Obama was also a trainer, a trainer of militant community rabble rousers ("community organizers"). They were taught that the ends justify the means, that it was OK to smear a person or an organization into submission, that businesses needed to be intimidated into following their radical policies, and that elections can be won through election fraud, padding voter rolls with made up people, people who moved and people in the grave yards.

    Obamabots also try very hard to minimize Barry 0's relationship with the radical, hate-spewing minister, Jeremiah Wright, but Obama was a pillar of that church for 20 years, yes he didn't just attend a few Christmas Eve Services, he was a vital, regular, dues paying member of that hate filled church for TWENTY YEARS.

    Thats twenty years, folks. Twenty years is a pretty good chunk of most people's lives.

    Get that, twenty years?

    The corrupt Chicago Machine nurtured Obama, yet he pretends to be an agent of change. Take the time to learn about the corrupt Stroger Family which Obama supports and take the time to learn about Syrian bagman, Antonin Rezko, who enabled the Obama's to purchase their mansion through a typical corrupt Chicago sweetheart deal.

    Oh, you don't have the time.

    No, OBAMABATS, only have time for propaganda and empty rhetoric about "change."

  • EMAIL KEITH OLBERMAN

    You know he would do a show on this AIP member. Get this out in the press. People need to know what a snake this Palin really is. Before it's to late. I found some interesting stuff on www.buffaloreport.com.Let's get on it.Our country is at stake.

  • Tearing downThat's a laugh!

    What hypocrites: you guys spent more than a moment in the most vicious personal attacks on Palin, and now you are complaining. But, really, it is all an attempt to conceal that Obama is philosophically a verrry radical politcian. He is like those many anti-war guys who admired the Weathermen, but didn't have the guts to risk it all themselves.

  • Why Not Go to This Well Once More ...

    ... what with the economy now fixed and all after the bailout? We've moved on from boring meaningless discussions about 401ks, bank failures and depressions to more important issues such as events from 40 years ago and minor associations, you know, the issues that are REALLY important to Joe Sixpack and Soccer Moms everywhere.

    Memo to Sarah Palin: Not only have you destroyed any national political aspirations, you're getting dangerously close to starting to affect your political future at home. Alaskans might tolerate a lot of things, but being made to look like fools and idiots thanks to the governor of their fair state serving as the representative of the state probably isn't one of them.

  • VOTE & let Republicans SHADDOWBOX

    When we 'fight' back as loudly & as frequently as the Republicans attack, we HELP THEM discover where they're being effective & what the next attack & slander should be. Sure, the Obama/Biden CAMPAIGN has to officially respond, as a matter of course, but..... Here's how WE REALLY win this election: WE DON'T REACT TO THEIR ATTACKS. Yup. We IGNORE them! Let 'em spend tons & tons of money SHADDOWBOXing. Silently, quietly, we register as many voters as we can, make sure WE vote & we encourage everyone we know to vote (even drive voters to the polls)...and WE WILL GET THE JOB DONE! On November 5th the GOP will be spinning in circles, wondering what happened; why all the slander didn't work... IT'S TIME FOR CONSTRUCTIVE, QUIET, POWERFUL ACTION! NOW!!!
