Palin slams Obama as campaign turns ugly
reuters via breitbart ^ | Oct 4, 2008 8:35pm EDT | Mark Egan

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.

"...this is a lost cause.

I wouldn't go that far. There is a legitimate track to take here.

Although the economy is by far the most important issue,,,,,

Hussein keeps bringing up his 'good judgment' (he does it ad nauseum about not getting involved in the Iraq War),,,

well, this is an opportunity to HIGHLIGHT his 'precious good judgment'!!!!

Even most liberals would agree that JUDGMENT is arguably the most important trait for a President. The very aspect that Hussein is flaunting--his good judgment--IS a legit issue highlighted by himself.

the MSM and the Dhims are allergic to the truth, so they consider it to be “ugly” and “nasty”.

Well said.

Speaking of Midway... I watched Tora Tora Tora on demand last night. As the movie progressed I found myself clenching my fist and my teeth. So many people who were either too ignorant or lazy in command and shouldn’t have been. What a waste that was.

Hey! Obammy was only 10 7 when Chuck was hacking up Sharon Tate and her crew

In the interest of accuracy, and before Obama's $shitweasel's accuse me of lying, I have corrected the Magic Negro's age at the time of the Tate/LoBianca murders. (:^o)

“If any of the things we know about Obama are going to get out, it has to come out of the candidates mouths in order for it to get coverage.”

Exactly. They, the candidates, have the bully pulpit. If it get mentioned, the MSM needs to look at it.

You know, the people he needs to convince they will lose financially don’t believe McCain on that issue. They need to attack Obama from all fronts and hope that they can change some minds from any one of those fronts.

There are those out there that only see or watch the MSM, they really don’t know much about Obama but what he says.

They need an education before they vote for Obama.

That’s a fair point and don’t get me wrong, this is all hypothetical, I want to see her as VP on Jan 20th 2009. But if she DID run in 2012 I think she would have a very good shot. For one thing, I think she would attract the best GOP advisors available who can help her head off the situation you’re describing. Plus, what can the dems do to her in Alaska that she couldn’t turn around and make hay out of come campaign season?

This does not on first blush smack of them being “pals” and 90% of Americans simply are not going to get it.

Micheal Moore is that you?

Americans are not stupid...repeat after me...Americans are not stupid. I know people in NYC and LA think that flyover doesn't read or comprehend anything but I assure you...they really do.

Tell the people who have been working and not paying attention the truth! Get the information out there.

Obama has a weak chin. In just a few weeks one month ago, McCain and his advisers turned the campaign to his favor and Obama was getting schooled. IMO that was the test run before hitting him with what is about to come over the next month. Obama will be crushed when middle America and the blue dog conservatives find out, what we already know on the right.
