Palin accuses Obama of ''Palling around with terrorists''

Comments

Sarah Palin should stick to debating the real issues rather than showboating and dredging up irrelevancies like this. At a time of grave economic crisis Palin demonstrates her exhibitionistic nature, proving once again she is unbalanced and unfit for the White House. The american people at this crucial time need a thinker and not a foghorn.

I'm just waiting for her to invoke Godwin's Law.

Don't worry, she won't win. Good thing too.

An absolutely disgusting attempt to cloud the issues that should be debated - Iraq, Afghanistan, economics, what Palin actually knows about foreign policy. I only hope that by deliberately misquoting and misrepresenting that which was said in the NY Times she's completely destroyed McCain's campaign. Does she think that the US electorate's stupid enough to believe that Obama fraternises with terrorists? Does she truly mean to suggest that by sitting on the same charity board with someone who was exonerated from any anti-American crimes years ago (otherwise, surely, he'd be under investigation if not house arrest) Obama forfeits his right to run for office? This woman, who cannot even toe the line on matters of party policy, is dangerous indeed. I wonder how many would wish to see her with her finger on the nuclear trigger, particularly as she does not seem to know who the enemy is.

Her appointment has merely underlined the significant lack of political judgement obvious in all McCain does.
They are sunk without trace

The link Palin makes between Obama and the terrorist, or whoever it was, is absurdly tenuous. Anyone who believes this is a complete moron.

I make no bones about it, I dont particularly like her anyway (her politics are too extreme for me) but this is absolutely ridiculous. Pray that she doesnt become Vice President...

This is just an opening punch. Obama has countered with McCain and the Keating Five scandal from the S&L crisis in 1989-92.

Now it's time for "Obama palling around with the folks that brought you the mortgage meltdown." You see, McCain has been trying to reform Fannie/Freddie for years. Democrats like Sen. Obama stopped him, and Obama has Jim Johnson and Franklin Raines, two disgraced Fannie CEOs, on his campaign.

So now who's for Hope and Change?
