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.
