By claiming that Democrat Barack Obama is "palling around with terrorists" and doesn't see the U.S. like other Americans, vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin targeted key goals for a faltering campaign.
And though she may have scored a political hit each time, her attack was unsubstantiated and carried a racially tinged subtext that John McCain himself may come to regret.
First, Palin's attack shows that her energetic debate with rival Joe Biden may be just the beginning, not the end, of a sharpened role in the battle to win the presidency. .... more at link

The AP is racist.
The more effective the attack on Obama...the more the MSM will scream.
It sickens me to think that this manure of a “news analysis” is going to be published in papers across the world.
When all else fail, play the race card.
No evidence shows they were “pals” or even close when they worked on community boards years ago and Ayers hosted a political event for Obama early in his career.
How did you get an editor gig if you can’t look past your leftist slant?
Of, that’s right. Its an AP editorial gig.
Terrorists are a race?
Unsubstantiated? Obama launched his political career in Ayer's living room. What a pantload, even by AP standards. Which means AP is joining the headlong MSM rush to abandon even the slightest pretense of objectivity to bolser Obama's campaign.
Mentioning that a candidate for PResident of this mation hangs around with people who tried to DESTROY this nation is Racist??
Well color me SHOCKED!!! (is that racist?)

Racist? WTF?!
I didn’t know Billy Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn were black.
The AP is so predictable....and boring.
“Terrorists are a race?”
That’s racist!
We are going to get our country back.
Country first, period.
The louder the media screams about Palin and McCain make me hope more each day this is going to be a landslide for the good in this country.
This is bs. Palin is only speaking the truth about our dear communist candidate.
The AP love affair with the left leaves the United States without a single major news agency. Repeat “news” agency. I should think that Rupert Murdoch, or someone on the right, is surveying the field and preparing to enter the fray. On radio, ABC long held a commanding position with respect to the news issued on the hour and half-hour. When Fox entered the competition ABC was toast. There is money to be made in providing a serious competitor to the left wing AFP, Reuters and AP.
Racism is the only reason Obama’s still in the race.
That’s racist!
Don't hate me because I'm white! ;^)
