Palin slams Obama as campaign turns ugly

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.

Palin slams Obama as campaign turns ugly

I posted the title as I found it.

This title would be better;

Palin slams Obama and we finally have to report Obamas shortcomings.

So the campaign wasn’t ugly when Mac was attacked as a cancer victim? How about the targeting of Bristol Palin?

Character assassination isn't going to win this race.

Mc PAIN needs to explain how deeply involved in ACORM and fellow Democrats are in this “financial crisis”. The public is HOT over that.

Why is McPain takign this route? Is he trying to LOSE?

It's ABOUT the ECONOMY!

It ALWAYS is.

Does anyone remember another candidate being referred to as the Messiah and The One as much as Obama?

Sarah won’t win in 2012.

I’m more concerned about NOW.

If a comment is ugly, than I don’t think there could quite possibly be a word for someone supporting setting an infant aside to die.

I think that is a PERFECTLY VALID fact the American people should be aware of. Since the media is such a big wad of panty pudding its up to John & Sarah to educate the American people about what a truly Shady guy Obama is.

Great post.

The American people deserve to know why it is ok for the President to be friends with a TERRORIST (and his TERRORIST WIFE)--who proudly boasted that he tried to bomb the Pentagon, Capitol Building and NY Police HQ,,,

and whose only regret is "HE DID NOT DO MORE"!

The American people deserve that explanation!!

P.S. What do Obama and Osama have in common? BOTH HAVE FRIENDS WHO TRIED TO BOMB THE PENTAGON.

That is hilarious! I guess it wasn’t ugly last month when Sarah was being drawn and quartered. You know folks, we need to do something about this media. And I have some ideas. Let me know if you are interested.

I know it needs to be done (attacks) but I hate for Americans to see the media’s characterization of Sarah as nasty. It’s her postiive, cheerful, energetic, enthusiasm that everyone loves and, if they paint this dark picture, that will be what many see. I hate the media and their politics.

Team McCain, fight the narrative or GTFO... don’t let Obama win the narratives... if you lose this then you lose... this is a legitimate issue... not an act of desperation...

Character doesn't seem to matter to people. THAT is why the Clinton's stayed in the WH for EIGHT YEARS!

Get back to issues on economics, taxes and how the Demoncrats screwed up with that lead to the “bailout”. THOSE are WINNING ISSUES!

Who are these people to decide what is ugly and what is not and why should any of us care what they think? We need lots of ugly facts and truth and we need it now.

“Let’s see anyone try the “no experience” thing after she’s been a Governor for almost 6 years.”

If McCain loses, Democrats in Congress will make it a top priority to wipe their a**es with Alaska for the next 4 years. They will make it a point to target Palin constantly so she has no chance of succeeding on a national ticket in 2012. I love Palin, but me thinks it’s now or never...
