Palin: Obama “Palling Around With Terrorists”
GOP vice presidential candidate is accusing Sen. Barack Obama of “palling around with terrorists.”
Font Size:

(October 5, 2008)--Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin Saturday accused Democrat Barack Obama of "palling around with terrorists" because of his association with a former 1960s radical, Bill Ayers, one of the founders of the group the Weather Underground.

The group took credit for bombings, including nonfatal explosions at the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol four decades ago.

In remarks to GOP donors in Englewood, Colo., Palin said Obama seems to see the U.S. as being so imperfect that "he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country."

Ayers is now a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Obama served on a charity board with him several years ago and has denounced his past activities, noting they took place when Obama was 8-years-old.

Palin's attack coincides with the McCain campaign's decision to try to make Obama's character a centerpiece of the final month of its campaign.

The Republicans have controlled the congress for 8 of the last 10 years how could the democrats put anything through the congress. It was the the Republicans that rubber stamped everything that Bush and his evil vice president put out for them. McCain shows his ability to help this country by picking Palin for VP. She is not qualified to do anything but memorize McCains evil rhetoric. The Republicans have ruined this country and it becomes the fault of Obama. Wow is Obama powerful even brillant to have done all of the things he is accused of. Well I guess if you say it enough it becomes the truth. Pitiful.....Own up Republicans...

Palin is an idiot, plain and simple. All you McSame fools think Obama supporters are only blacks voting for a black president or that we are being brainwashed or something. This however is not the case, I do not like what McCain has to offer therefore I won't vote for him. Is that Obama terrorist trickory? No. Am I black trying to bring down the white man? No. And btw I don't dislike Palin for her inexperience it's the stupid way she talks, she doesn't make sense. I'm sure there are way to many shameful women voting for her just because she is a woman. Also I would like to add one of the very first things McCain did was accuse Obama of making sexist remarks. So it's both sides of the fence honey. One side claims racism the other sexism, looks like we arn't that different.
