ROSWELL, New Mexico (CNN) — Sarah Palin on Sunday levied some of her toughest attacks to date against Barack Obama, accusing him of experimenting with socialism and charging ACORN, the embattled community organizing group to which Obama has been linked, with attempting to undermine the sacrifices of United States troops abroad.
Palin has made indirect references to socialism in recent days while attacking Obama’s tax plan, usually in the context of Joe “the plumber” Wurzelbacher’s remark that Obama’s tax plan sounds “socialist.”
On Sunday, she went a step further.
“Barack Obama calls it spreading the wealth,” she said. “Joe Biden calls higher taxes patriotic. But Joe the plumber and Ed the dairy man, I believe that they think that it sounds more like socialism. Friends, now is no time to experiment with socialism.”

Awesome. Tomorrow, Doug the Electrician? Keep it coming.
“Friends, now is no time to experiment with socialism.”
Sopt on!
Why does CNN put “socialism” in quotes?
It IS socialism.
It's the maggot's raison d'etre. (excuse the french).
That, and the destruction of our Constitution.
But I repeat myself.
“He claims that he’ll cut income taxes for 95 percent of Americans, but the problem is more than 40 percent of Americans pay no income taxes at all,” she said. “So how can you cut income taxes for folks who don’t pay them?”
Thank you for finally shattering Obama’s stupid 95% tax crap.I wonder if McCain or the average voter even know this, but talking about it will cause the KGB (MSM) to finally talk about it. Thank God she’s bring it up. It’s welfare.
Well, didn’t you know? If you make a profit you aren’t providing a “service” anymore.
If you aren’t giving it away it doesn’t count.
You can’t “serve” humanity AND profit — that’s impossible!
The “new America” a la Obama and the Pinko Party.
She knows! I think she, like most of us can cut through the BS.
Nothing more fun than watching a leftist scream when they are stuck with a Palin knife.
Go Sarah Go!!!
We have known for a long time the leftist elitists are socialists because they decided at a young age to pursue elitist vocations that do not pay well. Now that those elitist leftist snobs are in their 50’s they are demanding a portion of the money being made by hard working folks.
On most job sites he's known as Sparky the Electrician...she ought to use that !
We need more people like Mrs. Palin to stand up and call Obama what he is - a socialist. The poster is right - this is no time to experiment with socialism. It has never worked anywhere it has been tried. That's right, a 100% failure rate. Of course, today's socialists like Obama believe that is just because the right people haven't been in charge - ie. them.
Every new socialist thinks they can do it better than the millions who have failed before them.
JoMa
Linked????? Linked???
That's like saying sharing an office with a domestic TERRORIST for Three Years is just a casual aquaintaece// somebody that lives down the street / our kids went to school!
Bambi done been caught a few tooooooo many times LYING about HIMSELF!!!
Our mixed economy has stayed capitalist in nature, while absorbing the inherent inefficiencies of government redistribution. Our ingenuity was able to overcome the hit on our productivity. We survived (barely) the social programs of FDR and LBJ, and started to push back with Reagan, which is why the economy soared these past 28 years.
Obama is a true believing socialist, moreso than FDR or anyone who has held any office in the federal government, ever (except perhaps Henry Wallace). He will make the nationalization of the financial system permanent. He will nationalize health care. He will de facto nationalize the auto industry, although he might leave it in private hands. He will move taxes to punitive levels. All while imposing liberal social policies and demasculating our military. In the military's place, he'll create a "youth volunteer" program, which will provide all kinds of welfare and educational benefits, and morph into a brownshirt brigade.
He, with the connivance of Nancy and Harry, will fundamentally change the structure of the US economy and society. At some point, the balance changes, and it goes from being a free market system with some socialism to a socialist state with some limited freedoms. That point is probably crossed when you have that much of our economy nationalized, and especially when you have a majority dependent on the government. Not to mention 20 million new illegals that Obama's minions would welcome in.
We have never been able to get rid of one program from the New Deal or the Great Society. Not one. If Obama gets these things, even if he doesn't become a dictator and willingly gives up power at the end of his term, it will be exceedingly difficult to undo the damage. Not without a re-boot of the Constitution. How do we get that?
This is a dangerous time.
We don't.
The horses are out of the barn, and there ain't no getting them back.
Franklin and Adams, as well as the rest of the Founding Fathers, never intended that just anyone could vote.
In fact, it took three or 4 amendments as well as Motor Voter and Acorn registering drooling morons to get us to the point where we are today.
Make no mistake about it, the people voting for the socialists are exactly the ones the Founders warned against, and who couldn't vote up until 90 years or so ago.
That would be those under 21, women, and the landless.
If Obama wins, it will be these 3 groups that make it possible.
Adams in particular wrote extensively on who should vote and how these 3 groups should not be given the franchise.
The election of 2006 and the fact that Pelosi is 2 heartbeats from POTUS should be evidence enough that it is all over but the shouting for this Republic whether Obama wins or not.
The decline is slowly in progress, freedoms are slipping away, and an unholy alliance of career political incumbents gerrymandered into safe districts allied with socialist propagandists in the press have successfully managed to prevent any challenge to their rule.
God help us.
When you exercise control over private industry but leave it in the hands of stockholders and boards of directors you are talikng fascism.
That’s my girl! No wonder they hate her, she speaks the truth and exposes their lies to the light of day. God bless her and be with her.
That is why I just LOVE Sarah! Yes, Sarahcuda, USE THE “S” WORD! REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH IS AT THE HEART OF SOCIALISM, BOTH IN THEORY AND IN PRACTICE, SO CALL OBAMA’S TAX-CUT BY ITS TRUE NAME.
The rest of the CNN article was scary. As a rule, I don’t read CNN — can’t stomach it — but I was shocked at how overtly in the tank it was for Hussein Obama. When Sarahcuda brought up the redistribution via tax-credit, the article immediately editorialized by writing “Tax credits are part of the McCain healthcare plan.”
Uh, yeah, but (i)McCain doesn’t call his “tax credit” a “tax CUT”, and (2) his tax-credit does not create any new subsidy. Both the WSJ and IBD have written many times on this issue.
Sarah is getting good information and she knows how to use it (i.e., just tell it to people - straight talk). Team McCain should buy some TV time, write her a great speech, and let her knock it out of the park again. No holds barred: let her bring up Ayres, ACORN, Wright, Rezko, Odinga, Philip Berg and the birth certificate issue (she would only have to suggest here that there is cause for concern), and the welfare-statist, socialist nature of Obama’s policies. Let her compare that witches brew to McCain’s character, and her own record of improving the economy of a state by encouraging competition and cutting taxes; “returning government to the people” as she called it in her St. Paul acceptance speech.
Sarah can change hearts AND minds.
