Palin: Obama pals with Terrorist

Finally! I've been saying for months that this is an issue that the Republicans need to drive home if they want to win against 0bama. I'm speaking of his ties with unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers, founder of the radical group Weather Underground.

Tell 'em Sarah Barracuda:

"This is not a man who sees America as you see America, and as I see America," 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. ... 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."

Yeeeaaah, I'm not sure shes done anything positive in my book yet.

...so she accuses Obama of being a buddy of someone that he's, basically, been proven not even being close with? That sounds like something that can work against the McCain campaign, imo. Lab392

What level of relations with a terrorist is acceptable? I think that's an important question we need to be asking ourselves. 0bama has had a closer relationship with this monster than anyone should have with a terrorist. It's as simple as that.

...so she accuses Obama of being a buddy of someone that he's, basically, been proven not even being close with? Lab392

What is this proof, again?

"The Times article she mentioned concluded that Obama and Ayers did not appear to be close."

It's in the Fox article.

Aren't terrorists supposed to incite terror? As in, make people incredibly fearful?

WU did none of that. They were radical, and were very misguided, but they stood up to a government that refused to listen(and in some cases prevented people from communicating their message). Of course, people died, but only their own through a fluke incident. They damaged property, but only when they were sure everyone was evacuated from the area.

What next, all protesters are terrorists? I mean, the Weather Underground were misguided in that they should have known they'd make no progress in getting the troops home, and that their demonstrations wouldn't accomplish anything, but there's absolutely nothing wrong in standing up for what you believe in, and telling the forces you put into power what they need to do.

Terrorist? No. Misguided? Of course. If something was going on in the world that you disagreed with completely, would you sit around doing nothing because you don't think you can make a difference, would you hope that things get fixed by a non-receptive government, or would you do what you feel is right and get out there to spread a message?

The only thing they did wrong was using explosives to destroy property, as their demonstrations. Non-violent protests work just as well, you just need to be able to get a huge horde of people in order for it to work.

The one that Palin mentioned.

I thought she did alright in the debate. Still would never vote for her or McCain. But i mean I don't have the choice either since I am Canadian. This is kinda a little over zelous to declare though. Ace6301

She did alright for Sarah Palin, which was a pretty low standard to begin with. Biden refuted every point she made.

Obama served on a board with Ayers and has attended events hosted by this terrorist while campaigning for office. I ask again, is this acceptable level of personal and professional contact for a potential POTUS to have with a terrorist?

"He's done a lot of good in this city and nationally," Mayor Richard M. Daley said in an interview this week, explaining that he has long consulted Mr. Ayers on school issues." -NYTimes

Seeing a Bible in your avatar, I ask you to look past his, well, past and look at him now. Hes not the radical, bomb everything terrorist you believe him to be now.

Ayers is an unrepentant terrorist. I don't care what he's done lately; it's still true that he's never said his terrorist acts were wrong. In fact, he believes his monstrous acts were "on the side of justice."

0bama should have NO ties with this terrorist. That he's shown even the slightest interest reaching out to him personally and professionally should DISQUALIFY him for the office of President of the United States of America. God BLESS Sarah Palin for making this a campaign issue, because the American people NEED to know who their candidate has been hobnobbing with.

Forgive my grammatical whatevers; I'm very emotional right now as I type this.

You know, the same thoughts run through my head every time I read his posts. The republican party is just getting desperate and are using lies to sway the election...like they always do...

I'm not going to interpret what Palin meant by her comments. All I'm saying is that the on-the-record professional associations Obama has had with this terrorist, regardless of their level of friendship, are WELL beyond the range that should be acceptable for a potential President.

They're doing a really bad job this year, they should give Karl Rove a call.

Uh, you know, there are people in other countries who would suggest that the current president of the United States is a terrorist.

I bet some of the not-so radical Muslims in Iraq were pretty freaking terrified during the G.W. Bush-led "shock and awe" campaign.

And doesn't John McMaverick stand pretty close to him 90% of the time? Does that make him 90% terrorist?

This is clearly a desparate attempt for the McCain camp to strike fear into the hearts of voters. It's pathetic. If Obama's apparent relation with this so-called "terrorist" was such a huge deal, why didn't this come to the forefront of the election during the whole Jeremiah Wright ordeal.

Failin.

"Between October 1969 and September 1973, the Weather Underground claimed credit for some twenty bombings across the country, in which no one was harmed"

He did bomb buildings but it seems he made sure they were vacant when the denotations went off. He was a protester and any deaths resulting from his bombings were accidental. I'm not saying that excuses him but Obama isn't close with this man at all as that article says. I'd also like to mention Ayer is a professor of education at the University of Illinois today and again has ties with the Mayor of Illinois.

Its also obvious and shameful that Sarah is bringing this up to play on suspensions that Obama is a Muslim.

All I read about these "ties" in the article(you gave the link of) was:

'Ayers now is a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He and Obama live in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood and served together on the board of the Woods Fund, a Chicago-based charity that develops community groups to help the poor. Obama left the board in December 2002, and he has denounced Ayers' past activities. '

If he did charity work, good for him. If a criminal/anyone works with him (on a good cause), wtf is the problem?

Don't even try to equate these people with one who's carried out attacks against America on U.S. soil.

I'm actually getting a little confident that Obama is going to win.

Now that I've jinxed it hopefully my cynicism will return when President McCain is inaugurated. :P

I see, so its ok to support killing "brown" people in the middle east. A life is a life.. Regardless what nation, race, or creed they are.. To even ignore something like that and say "they can't compare" is not ethical.
