At a fundraiser today in Englewood, Colorado, GOP vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin bared her Pit Bull teeth and bit Democrat presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama for his relationship with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. Palin said:
“Our opponent though is someone who sees America it seems as being so imperfect, imperfect enough that he’s palling around with terrorists who would target their own country. Americans need to know this. Talk about taking the gloves off, I too being that outsider and only being a part of this for 5 weeks now, I think ok we gotta get the word out. This is in fairness to the electorate; we gotta start telling people what the other side represents.”
Team McCain has finally turned loose the self-described “Pit Bull with lipstick” to take a bite out of Obama where he may prove to be most vulnerable – his associations with radicals of various stripes.
It remains to be seen if McCain will go after Obama in a similar matter. But with just a month to go and trailing in the polls, what does he have to lose?

It can be a weakness for her, e.g., her Trooper problems, but it is also a great strength, especially in a political environment where courage is so often utterly lacking.

David123 (Diary) Saturday, October 4th at 3:47PM EST (link)And why should Sarah Palin, or any other patriotic American, shy away from pointing out the truth about Bill Ayers and his relationship to Barack Obama?
I am very pleased and relieved that she is saying this. The American people need to know the truth about Bill Ayers and Barack Obama. When the majority know the truth, the majority will vote for McCain.

Freedoms Truth (Diary) Saturday, October 4th at 4:24PM EST (link)Send this as an email to your associates who are Obama supporters …
Dear Supporter of Barack Hussein Obama:
If a Republican candidate got a $100 million grant to work with a KKK member to advance white supremacy in education, and that KKK member held the candidate’s first fundraiser, that candidate would be unelectable. In 1995, Obama got a $100 million Annenberg challenge grant to work with Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers on advancing leftwing indoctrination in education, and Bill Ayers held Obama’s first political fundraiser. Bill Ayers has never repented for participating in bombings in the 1960s. Ayers and Obama sat and worked together on the board of a leftwing foundation.
Why is this tolerable? Why is it tolerable that Obama would sit for 20 years in a Black Liberation Theology church, call Rev Wright his ‘mentor’ and yet not be held to account for the racist and anti-America hate (such as saying that 9/11 was “chickens coming home to roost”) that Wright spewed?
that leaves aside Obama’s work with leftwing ACORN groups suing banks to relax lending standards in the 1990s, to sow the seeds that helped create the housing bubble of recent years.
And you support a guy with such horrible judgement and such leftwing radical roots and associates?
The conclusion is being a friend and associate to a domestic terrorist and racist radicals is something that liberal Obama supporters tolerate. Combined with Obama’s calling on supporter to ‘get in the face’ of political opponents, and Democrat support for free-speech-chilling ‘Fairness Doctrine’, we have much to fear in an Obama Nation.
It also leaves aside his bizarre opposition to a bill that would give born alive victims of botched abortions legal protection. Obama didnt want to put a crimp on infanticide in abortion mills. His extremism on abortion will lead to repeal of the Hyde Amendment and taxpayer funded abortions. He will also appoint left-liberal activist judges.
If Obama wins, the hard-core leftwing in America will triumph. America’s values, prosperity, freedom, and our national security will lose.
I HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT THE EXISTENCE OF NON-LEFT SUPPORTERS OF OBAMA IS EITHER PROOF THAT MEDIA BIAS WORKS OR PROOF THAT PT BARNUM WAS RIGHT.
So which is it BHO supporters: Are you bamboozled and bought a lie, or are you a moron? Or do you actually think associating with a domestic terrorist makes you qualifieid to be President?
Signed,
Your Patriotic Friend

Martin Knight (Diary) Saturday, October 4th at 5:42PM EST (link)Fannie and Freddie and the problems they’ve caused are still the top news items today and Palin should be lighting Obama up on it.
Unless she’s leaving that line of attack for McCain to unveil on Tuesday. Should he fail to do so, I will forced to conclude that he’s just not that interested in winning.

Sarah should be nonpartisan and a uniter
David123 (Diary) Sunday, October 5th at 11:35AM EST (link)If America can handle the truth, this speech should see a McCain-Palin landslide win.
Sarah: You know, Hillary Clinton and I don’t agree on every issue, but we do share a lot in common. In fact, I’ve even got something in common with President Clinton, and Governor Richardson, Governor Wilder, Governor Kaine, and others. There are some issues we disagree on, but we’re all Americans and we’re all politicians. And while we all got into politics by slightly different routes we’ve got one other similarity – NONE of us launched our political careers in the home of a terrorist. That is something we don’t have in common with Barack Obama because he DID launch his political career in the house of William Ayers, the terrorist. So, I’m not in the same league with Barack Obama and I’m glad I’m not.

Reconsider the ticket?
allright Sunday, October 5th at 12:08PM EST (link)I dunno. It’s getting harder to see why Palin isn’t running at the top of the ticket. Would that be such a bad thing, given how America is responding?
She’s got the touch. When it comes down to it, she can rightfully claim more executive experience, more popular support, she’s closer to the people as a small business owner with a modest house and assets, she’s never wavered from her true commitment to Christian values, she’s given BACK tax money to her citizens, stood up to oil and corruption, and she’s nowhere near retirement.
This campaign has got to be turned around, and if it takes doing the obvious, and putting her on top…talk about a “game changer”.
I say, Palin – McCain for Pres and VP.
yup, it's still the economy
jwalmach (Diary) Sunday, October 5th at 12:36PM EST (link)Agreed. It’s good that Sarah is hitting on Obama’s associations but McCain must provide an easy to understand solution to the economy Tuesday night while getting the housing crisis blame off of the Republicans. People are real uptight about the future of the economy and if McCain fails to provide an easily digestible solution to the economic problems at the debate he’s toast. If he spends too much time attacking Obama for the people he hangs around with he’ll be perceived as running away from the economy issue.
Very Good
Whitehorse (Diary) Sunday, October 5th at 11:18PM EST (link)The truth about Obama’s associations is quite negative. That, as pointed out in an earlier thread, does not make it any less true. McCain can point out these nefarious associations while at the same time differentiating himeself on policy & issue.
If he mentions Ayers in the debate
ekevlar11 (Diary) Monday, October 6th at 10:13AM EST (link)and ties Obama in to the facts – showing his leftist/communist views and how that would be hurtful to the economy Obama will flush, the MSM will faint and I will be writing another check to the campaign.

I think the timing is all wrong...
NotSoBlueStater (Diary) Monday, October 6th at 11:21AM EST (link)The Ayers thing would have been good fodder for the earier analysis of Obama’s character. At this point, most people who have been paying attention already know about it to some degree. Emphasizing it now feels like going extra negative because McCain is losing.
It’s a legit discussion, but it feels like old news, easily deflected.

hogiewan Monday, October 6th at 8:02PM EST (link)The majority of the people who watch network news haven’t even heard of Ayers. If McCain and Palin keep spouting off about it, eventually someone will have to cover it. That’s the same reason I hope the RNC keeps prodding Obama’s fundraising.

Everyone I’ve talked to in the last few days had never heard of this connection before. Or even knew who Ayers was for that matter, before having it explained to them.

JLenardDetroit (Diary) Wednesday, October 8th at 4:01PM EST (link)peeps try to dismiss ‘guilt by association’ by making up some ‘guilt by association’ so-as to be able to just ignore/dismiss the slime their candidate associates with…
I don’t like all McCain’s friends/supporters, but the G. Gordon Liddy stretch is really something, to try and make a moral equivalence to Ayers/Terrorist associations of O-bam-bam’s.
Guess they finally figured out McCain, as well as John Glenn (D), were dismissed of any wrong-doing in the Keating-5 and finally stopped bringing that one up (the big 3 in that one were all Dems). Wasn’t that too long ago to matter? I only bring up that question because, of course, Borat H. Osama keeps stating about how Ayers was a Terrorist when he was 8 years-old (oh so long ago), while glossing over Ayers recent comments and the fact they worked so closely on Socialist agenda Education reforms. McCain is repentant for his becoming too close to Keating, but did NOTHING WRONG, while Obama/Ayers are not repentant for actions/activities and have the same goals to this very day.
and, again, Hillary’s words are most effective in use against O-bam-bam in relation to the Ayers alliance, they may listen to her while we know they just dismiss as “Partisan” if any Republican brings it up… Hillary on Ayers/Obama
