Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is a friend to terrorists, the running mate of Republican John McCain said on Saturday in the latest sign the final month of the campaign is turning increasingly nasty.
The comment by Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin was dismissed by the Obama campaign as "gutter politics" and came shortly after the McCain campaign had already called the U.S. senator from Illinois a liar.
With polls showing McCain trailing Obama in many battleground states, including several won by Republicans in the last presidential election in 2004, Palin told reporters she will be an attack dog leading up to the November 4 election.
Speaking at a fund-raiser in Englewood, Colorado, she launched an aggressive assault on Obama just days after both candidates urged Congress to set aside partisan politics to pass a $700 billion package to free up frozen credit markets.
"Our opponent though is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough that he is palling around with terrorists who would target their own country," Palin said of Obama, also calling him an embarrassment.

*turns* ugly? Obama has run a nasty campaign from day one, in fact, from day one of his Senate campaign. He and his henchmen (and the hand up his sock-puppet ass) are nasty from soup to no-nuts.
Cross paths?? They've been walking the same path for many years.
It was ugly when Bernhardt, and other Hollywood witches said vicious nasty things about her.
It was ugly when American Media finally ceased any pretentions of fairness and opted for full-blown partisanship.
It was ugly when a so-called photographer abused the opportunity to photograph a true hero for a magazine cover by using lighting techniques and photoshop to create horrific and nasty images and post them on her website for the world to see.
Just to name a few.
Get back to issues on economics, taxes and how the Demoncrats screwed up with that lead to the “bailout”. THOSE are WINNING ISSUES!That issue was lost with the bailout. If you don't beleive that you didn't see the glee in the Democrats after passage.
Character doesn't seem to matter to people.The President getting a blow job from an intern in the Oval Office is a character flaw.
Palling around with KNOWN treasonous group leaders is beyond character flaw. Some of us know the difference.
Below is link to info on Scott Shane, the NYT reporter who has just written an apologia/inoculation for Obama in regard to Bill Ayers - and of which, of course, media outlets have pantingly embraced.
It seems that Mr. Shane of the NYT has had previous experience in the apologia business: including an apologia for none other than JOE WILSON of PALME fame.

Good info. Can you give us a link please?
My thoughts exactly. When the press can openly speculate about the parentage of Governor Palin's children, that's just good wholesome American campaign reportage.
The media will still call her inexperienced.
Sorry about no parentheses
It is past time for it to be stated that Barack Obama is a crook. His campaign is crooked. He employs crooks. He associates with crooks. It is past time to note that the entire press, pundits, fringe, right and left is in financial bed with Mr. Obama's financiers funding the entire group. There is no Truth. Olbermann rants for Obama. Limbaugh prattles on about things which no one cares about. O'Reilly has a luv fest with Obama. The FBI might as well stand for, For oBama Incorporated, as they know very well of all his money embezzlement and not one charge filed. Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have a long list of odd revenue happenings. He gets to attend Occidental, Columbia and Harvard on student loans apparently like his wife. Nowhere is it listed that either of these two ever held a summer job, so their job was taking student loan money and living well off the taxpayer for 7 years. Be assured, American taxpayers at Occidental your student loan for Obama purchased quantities of drugs as part of his living expense for which the Mexican border and Colombian jungles are littered with dead people all so Obama could get high on your money. That if felony embezzlement of government funds for illegal activity, involving people being murdered so Obama could get stoned. In this period, Barack somehow found enough money in not working to take a trip with Muslim school mates to Indonesia, Pakistan and he ended up in Kenya. One knows very well that was taxpayer money in fraudulent use of school loans to take a round the world vacation. That is the second felony embezzlement of government funds for illegal activity, involving Islamic terrorist states. He graduates Harvard, gets married and becomes employed as a writer. This means one is supposed to pay off your student loans. That is not what Obama did though. No, he and Michelle took another 3 months vacation to Bali. Islamic terrorists if one remembers were blowing things up in Bali with delight and yet Obama goes to Bali, not Hawaii where he supposedly called home. Then Barack and Michelle with her as a lawyer and consultant, him as a lawyer, teacher and legislator are earning around $200,000 a year for a decade. Still the student loans are not being repaid. He did though have money for a $450,000 Chicago condo. Once again one is responsible to pay off student loans, but Barack and Michelle Obama seemed to have found ways to not pay off the loans using them instead as low interest subsidies on 6 figure rich careers while poor people couldn't afford to send their kids to college. That all changed though when Obama hit the Senate and he cashed in on book deals for $2.27 million dollars. Obama at this time stated he paid off his student loan. One knows why he did as it looks bad for millionaire stooges running for the White House living on million dollar welfare. Obama states his net worth is around $700,000, the problem is the book deal and the fact he moved up to a Tony Rezko mansion he bought for $1.6 million which was 300,000 dollars under market price of $1.95 million in a sweetheart deal involving Rezko. Did I mention Rezko is Syrian and he just so happened to be bankrupt until he got several million dollars from Saddam's banker, Iraqi Islamocommunist billionaire, Nadhmi Auchi, whom Obama was entertaining. Yes Saddam Hussein helped buy Barack Obama his Georgian Mansion in Chicago. Rezko's wife, Rita, though assisted the Obama purchase by buying the next door lot for $625,000 and later sold Obama a piece of it so Barry could have a bigger yard. In cutting the crap, Rezko got Obama his mansion from Saddam Hussein's bribes to the west, because Obama was assisting Rezko in plundering blacks on Chicago's South Side in being a slum lord. Barry termed his deal with Rezko as dumb. No Barry it was a multiple count felony, and, still silence from all in the closing weeks to the election. Obama's spokesman, Ben LaBolt, is on record stating that Obama had $3 million later invested in the savings trust which then gave the Obama's a loan. Excuse me, FBI check please, as if they paid off their student loan finally, Obama says he is only worth seven hundred thousand, was paid over $2 million for the book deal, where is this other $800,000 coming from? In any event Obama received a $1.32 million loan from Northern Trust where he took out a 30 year loan at 5.625 percent which was well under any loans available to other citizens. The loan was saving him $300 a month. At this time, Obama had never did one cent of business with Northern Trust and yet he gets a special rate loan. These are the same scam loans which Democrats Chris Dodd and Kent Conrad received, all like Obama serving on the Senate finance committees running interference for these crooked slum lord lenders who just cost the taxpayers a trillion dollars. It is all FBI ok though as Obama took over one hundred thousand from Fannie Mae, Northern Trust gave him $71,000 and convicted felon Tony Rezko public records show around $40,000 all in Obama coffers. This is not unethical only. This is felony illegal in quid pro quo. The financiers deliberately imploded the derivatives market 2 weeks ago to assist Obama which it did. Nancy Pelosi deliberately imploded the bail out which will line Warren Buffetts' Chinese pockets and cost thousands of people their savings so Obama could have one more week of financial mess to attack John McCain and scare Americans. All of these activities are felony crimes and I don't see one George Will, Katie Couric or any of these countless other employed right, left or fringe media all being paid out of the same financial pool which is assisting Obama saying one word about Obama being a crook. Obama has brought in illegally over $250 million dollars from foreigners into his campaign to subvert the US elections. The campaign via Pritzker, Hildebrand, Plouffe and Axelrod are drying cleaning that money to election fraud groups like ACORN who say they have registered 1 million new voters. CSI of New Orleans is being paid around a million dollars for stage events when it doesn't do stage events for the Obama campaign and says it is passing the money to ACORN. Anyone who knows Tom Daschle and Steve Hildebrand of South Dakota is well aware of their election fraud in showing up on the Sioux reservations with cases of cash buying Indian votes for victory. ACORN is funnelling money into a same election theft scheme. All felonies and yet not one word from Congressional Republicans, President Bush, any pundits right, left or fringe on the national stage. Barack Obama has lived a 3rd world dictator's life doping and vacationing off the American taxpayer and now he is implementing a 3rd world theft of the American election system. and not one sound from any major player, not one indictment from a US Attorney like Patrick Fitzgerald who didn't seem to have problems indicting scooters and not one investigation by the FBI into the biggest 29 year felony embezzlement of taxpayer funds and the felony fraud on the US election system. Where is the Truth in America and is there not one person besides a few bloggers who are willing to call a crook a crook in Barack Hussein Obama.
When Obama says he is going to decrease taxes for 95% of the people, has he ever said how he intends to do that? What I want to know is when someone tells you that he says that, what can you come back with?
Mark Egan at his finest. I’m pretty sure none of this was ever veriffied.
Rapes, killings hit Katrina refugees in New Orleans
Sat Sep 3, 2005 4:23 PM ET
By Mark Egan
NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - People left homeless by Hurricane Katrina told horrific stories of rape, murder and trigger happy guards in two New Orleans centers that were set up as shelters but became places of violence and terror.
Police and National Guard troops on Saturday closed down the two centers — the Superdome arena and the city’s convention center — but them penned them in outside in sweltering heat to keep them from trying to walk out of the city.
Military helicopters and buses staged a massive evacuation to take away thousands of people who waited in orderly lines in stifling heat outside the flooded convention center.
The refugees, who were waiting to be taken to sports stadiums and other huge shelters across Texas and northern Louisiana, described how the convention center and the Superdome became lawless hellholes beset by rape and murder.
Several residents of the impromptu shantytown recounted two horrific incidents where those charged with keeping people safe had killed them instead.
In one, a young man was run down and then shot by a New Orleans police officer, in another a man seeking help was gunned down by a National Guard soldier, witnesses said.
Police here refused to discuss or confirm either incident. National Guard spokesman Lt. Col Pete Schneider said “I have not heard any information of a weapon being discharged.”
“They killed a man here last night,” Steve Banka, 28, told Reuters. “A young lady was being raped and stabbed. And the sounds of her screaming got to this man and so he ran out into the street to get help from troops, to try to flag down a passing truck of them, and he jumped up on the truck’s windshield and they shot him dead.”
Wade Batiste, 48, recounted another tale of horror.
“Last night at 8 p.m. they shot a kid of just 16. He was just crossing the street. They ran him over, the New Orleans police did, and then they got out of the car and shot him in the head,” Batiste said.
The young man’s body lay in the street by the Convention Center’s entrance on Saturday morning, covered in a black blanket, a stream of congealed blood staining the street around him. Nearby his family sat in shock.
A member of that family, Africa Brumfield, 32, confirmed the incident but declined to be quoted about it, saying her family did not wish to discuss it. But she spoke of general conditions here.
“There is rapes going on here. Women cannot go to the bathroom without men. They are raping them and slitting their throats. They keep telling us the buses are coming but they never leave,” she said through tears.
People here said there were now 22 bodies of adults and children stored inside the building, but troops guarding the building refused to confirm that and threatened to beat reporters seeking access to the makeshift morgue.
People trying to walk out are forced back at gunpoint - something troops said was for their own safety. “It’s sad, but how far do you think they would get,” one soldier said.
“They have us living here like animals,” said Wvonnette Grace-Jordan, here with five children, the youngest only six weeks old. “We have only had two meals, we have no medicine and now there are thousands of people defecating in the streets. This is wrong. This is the United States of America.”
One National Guard soldier who asked not to be named for fear of punishment from his commanding officer said of the lack of medical attention at the center, “They (the Bush administration) care more about Iraq and Afghanistan than here.”
The Louisiana National Guard soldier said, “We are doing the best we can with the resources we have, but almost all of our guys are in Iraq.”
Across town at the Superdome, where as many as 38,000 refugees camped out until Wednesday night when evacuation buses first came, the 4,000 still there were corralled outside, hoping to get on four waiting buses with seats for only 200.
The scene at the sports stadium was one of abject filth. Crammed into a small area after the building was shut to them last night, those remaining sat amid heaps of garbage, piled in places waist high. The stench of human waste pervaded the interior of the now vacant stadium.
One police officer told Reuters there were 100 people in a makeshift morgue at the Superdome, mostly people who died of heat exhaustion, and that six babies had been born there since last Saturday, when people arrived to take shelter.
At the arena, too, there was much talk of bedlam after dark.
“We found a young girl raped and killed in the bathroom,” one National Guard soldier told Reuters. “Then the crowd got the man and they beat him to death.”
Again, we're dealing with a vicious media who are in the tank for Obama. It's that simple.
Twist the knife Sarah!
Don’t forget about a candidate for the Senate, and former SNL cast member helping to write “comedy” skits on a show where what passes for humor is a skit about Todd Palin, the Republican VPOTUS candidate’s husband, having an incestuous sexual relationship with his young daughters.
Since when is telling the truth known as ugly? You betcha those dems don’t like facts.
Thanks for the ping Jet Jaguar.
Of course, there is nothing ugly about Chrissie calling Governor Palin a dolt for looking into the camera and speaking to the American people during the debate, rather than looking at the moderator.
The ugly TRUTH.
First it is ridiculed, second it is violently opposed, third, it is self evident.
Sarah Palin has begun to do the job that McCain needs her to do. And she will do it.
The Communist MSM calls the truth ugly because the ends justify the means. For those of us who walk the path of righteousness, the truth is welcome news. Go Sarah!!!!!!! If we don’t spread the truth now, there will be no free America tomorrow.
There, fixed it.
