scathing new line of attack on Barack Obama’s tax plan at a rally here, citing an interview he gave as an Illinois state senator in 2001 as evidence that he favors socialist policies that fly in the face of the Constitution.
“It was just the other day that a tape of an interview from 2001 turned up, and there he was talking about the need for quote 'redistributive change,’” Palin said. “And Sen. Obama said that—he said that he regretted--he regretted that the Supreme Court hadn't been more radical and he described the court's refusal to take up the issues of redistribution of wealth as a tragedy and he said that he also regretted that the Supreme Court did not break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers there in the Constitution, that's a quote.”
Palin said that voters have to ask themselves whether Obama—a former Constitutional law professor—would like to rewrite the Constitution and questioned what kinds of Supreme Court justices he would appoint.
“Our opponent’s ideological commitment to spread the wealth around—taking more from you—spreading it around, it's been tried in other societies, friends,” Palin said. “And the only things that ever spread were scarcity and poverty and bureaucracy and stifling the entrepreneurial spirit that made this country the greatest country on earth.”
Palin next accused Obama of wanting judges to confiscate people’s property.
“And let me remind Barack Obama of something else. When judges don't confiscate your property and your hard m-- all of your hard earned money and then redistribute that, he may call that a tragedy, but I call it fairness and adherence to our U.S. Constitution,” she said.
Asked whether Palin was suggesting that Obama favors economic policies similar to those of Communist countries, Palin’s traveling press secretary Tracey Schmitt wrote in an email message, “No she said what she said.”
Go Sarah!

She is wrong, Zer0 is a Commie.
Get this woman in the white house! Please, fight, work, Pray. We are still in this, we can do this
She ain’t scared!
The only candidate in this race who has quoted Plato.
Sarah and John need to hit this there HARD for the remaining week. Great that they are doing it now.
They need also to bring up the SCOTUS decision on property rights (Hartford, Conn.) that started this. If Hussein is elected, expect much more of this!!
What kind of response is that? Is it just me?
Wow! Just......WOW!!!!!!!! Well said, Sarah!!!!!!!! Keep it up!!!!!!!
SARAH!!!!!!!! SARAH!!!!!!!!! SARAH!!!!!!!
McCain-Palin’08!!!!!
Why is it so hard for everyone in the MSM to see the obvious? It would be difficult to make the case that he is NOT a socialist.
Obama’s 2001 tape crystallized that fact for me, too. It’s obvious Obama believes that the proper political remedy is the redistribution of wealth.
I LOVE THIS WOMEN! It is just so wonderfully refreshing to have someone speak the plain truth about The Marxist and what he believes. No beating around the bush, no tiptoeing, NO NEW TONE!
And what makes SeeBS think that this was a just a suggestion?
That Schmitt lady doesn’t seem to like Sarah very much.
I am so hopelessly in love....
We need to keep the focus on 0 and his radical plans. Its probably wise the way she answered so as to keep him the story and not Palin and that word.
Where is this tape your headline advertises?
GO SARAH!!! I LOVE HER TOO!!!!
It’s a great response. The media is always looking for the “what did you mean”? crap. She said what she said, and she meant what she said.
I know they can’t they say this because of it being too controversial, but let’s be truthful, these “tax cuts” are reparations in disguise.
Tracey Schmitt wrote in an email message, “No she said what she said.”
What kind of response is that? Is it just me?
Great response! Don’t let them trap you. Great press secretary!
Thats racist!

ts130, I think that’s a GREAT response, imho. The CBS people want to parse it to nitpick- and she’s saying, you heard her-now print it.
“She said what she said.” Great response.
Now, if this could get beyond CBS blogs, it might have some hope of reaching the unwashed masses.
“I have written what I have written.”
Whoever said that Sarah wasn’t qualified for the White House should be voted off the island immediately. This lady has more guts and courage in terms of saying what needs to be said than the other 3 men put together. As I have said many times, John McCain will not lose the election because of Sarah Palin. But he could not win it without her.
I know, I agree. It is definitely racist to use our tax code for social justice.
OK:
Choose One: Sarah Palin or Megyn Kelly
She’s Reagan in a dress. I’ll crawl through broken glass to vote for her in ‘12!
Zombies = Democrats LOL !!
What is the difference between communism and socialism? I have tried to find an unbiased comparison of the two on the internet, but to no avail!
I am under 30 and do not recall ever being taught this in school.
Sarah Rocks! I am praying that this woman has an opportunity to make a difference in the ordinary Joe the Plumber day...she understands our hard work, our devotion to our family, friends, country and most importantly, Our Lord. Sarah...we love you! from jhw61, a 47 year old woman...Sarah would have been a freshman in my senior year of high school!
see it just proves how racist eveyrone whose not voting for the king of the World is....somehow...not sure how..but im sure it proves it somehow

Friend, it’s all over FR. I don’t have the computer quickness to get it—but the LA times has this tape on Obama of him saying just what Sarah stated-but the Times won’t release the tape. Search around FR, there’s a few threads with the actual audio—Rush Limbaugh also has it on his site.
That “rogue” and campaign falling apart from dissension shot by whomever, for sure the msm, will be looked back on some day as the opposition’s last failed attempt at stemming the tide.
She rips him with a smile.
I have to say Sarah. She totally had me at “hello” back at that VP introduction rally in Dayton Ohio and it has been hopelessly true love ever since. But I have always adored Megyn as well.
This seems accurate:
1 a: a theory advocating elimination of private property b: a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed2capitalized a: a doctrine based on revolutionary Marxian socialism and Marxism-Leninism that was the official ideology of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics b: a totalitarian system of government in which a single authoritarian party controls state-owned means of production c: a final stage of society in Marxist theory in which the state has withered away and economic goods are distributed equitably d: communist systems collectively
The last part is laughable, no communist state gets to the part where the government withers away and everyone is working in communes distributing work evenly. There will always be party members with privileged jobs in such states.
“Socialism” is merely a more warm and fuzzy word to describe “communism.” Like how Russia used to be the USSR: The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Nazi = a combination of National and Socialist.
Don’t let anyone fool you, they are the same thing.
Your link doesn’ work.
FINALLY - a Republican with the sheer guts to call a Socialist a Socialist and let them whine and complain all they want.
Go Sarah!!!!
She quoted Plato? Nah. Can’t be possible! She’s a lightweight. She didn’t graduate from Hah-vahd, and she transferred too many times when she was working for her undergraduate degree. And she drops her g’s. /s
“Get this woman in the white house! Please, fight, work, Pray. We are still in this, we can do this”
When you take just the tracking polls, the average comes out to O +4.3. We do have to all work hard in the last week but we can do this.
We had a really good day in our Hollywood FL Victory office. People are coming out of the woodwork to volunteer as transport folks, phone bankers, and anything else they can do
If you are in a battleground state, please go volunteer. If you are not, please go to johnmccain.com and you can phone bank into another state. We really need the help.
Hooray Sarah! Thank you John McCain!
This should be absolutely all Mac and Sarah talk about for the next six days and nights.
Obama wants to spread the wealth; we want to spread opportunity. That resonates.
Talk about nothing else.
Conquer short attention spans. No long diatribes, though Obama’s disdain for the founding fathers is an essential ingredient in this selling point.
Obama is a socialist at best, and likely a communist in political philosophy.
In my opinion, he is a thug at heart, a pure obamist who hates your guts, hates my guts, and hates America.
I read someone’s line today, a quote of Mrs. Thatcher: “Socialism is great until the other guy’s money runs out.”
Keep it simple and tell it like it is: Obama is a socialist and always has been.
If we lose with that, at least we went down swinging.
Make you day even better, friend.
