- megafan, on 10/05/2008, -18/+476I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight…..
* If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you're 'exotic, different.'
* Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, yours is a quintessential American story.
* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
* Name your kids Willow , Trig and Track, you're a maverick.
* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.
* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black
President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that
Registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law
professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over
750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human
Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state
of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs,
Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any
real leadership experience.
* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6
years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the
governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become
the country's second highest ranking executive and next in line behind a man
in his eighth decade.
* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful
daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian.
* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and then left your disfigured wife
and married the heiress the next month, you're a true Christian.
* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of
birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
* If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex
education in your state's school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up
pregnant, you're very responsible.
* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious
Law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to
raise a family, your family's values don't represent America 's.
* If you're husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DWI conviction and
no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a
member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your
family is extremely admirable.
OK, that makes it much more clearer now… - smacksaw, on 10/05/2008, -5/+102The most amazing thing is that Obama's connection with Ayers is a joke, but the Palins' association with the AIP is strong, much stronger than Obama and Ayers.
I'm tired of politicians doing anything to win. Hypocrisy is destroying the process. - cnguyen, on 10/05/2008, -5/+76well put!
- pedo, on 10/05/2008, -8/+67its not just Todd's associations. Sarah Palin herself advocated for secession.
- cnguyen, on 10/05/2008, -7/+58Sorry but this smear is quite a stretch for the republican ignoramuses. The McCain campaign is so desparate to win the election, they have resulted to mimicking George W Bush again. *See George W. Bush's smear campaign against McCain during the 2000 presidential primary. Again - wake up and smell the McCain hypocrisy people!
John McCain and Sarah Palin would rather spend their time tearing down Barack Obama than laying out a plan to build up our economy and change the direction of this great nation. - truthfightsback, on 10/05/2008, -5/+50Palin's lies are really starting to show her deep intolerance and hate.
- dBass, on 10/05/2008, -4/+48McCain, Inc. is gambling that the average US voter is dumb as *****. And, that they are racist to boot. The kind of people that would cut off their own noses to spite their face. That is why McCain has sold what little dignity he had left to win this thing. Sen. Obama on the other hand is betting that most people will belly up to the bar and change, despite their fears and the rethug smears and lies.
I believe McCain is on the wrong side of history, it will go down to the wire, but ultimately Obama will become the 44th POTUS. - avataros, on 10/05/2008, -5/+45Palin's comment does not legitimize the question. It was legitimate before it happened, and is entirely irrelevant to the matter. I don't believe Obama did not take that line of attack because he was waiting for any sort of legitimacy, so to speak.
- algaeturd, on 10/05/2008, -1/+34We've all seen the new republican theories of logic: Up is down, down is up, left is right and right is left. They're so grounded in hypocrisy they just lie through their teeth at this point and can get away with it. Why? Their supporters are too dumb to understand truth and logic.
- PabloMac, on 10/05/2008, -2/+35Their what is black?
- elipabst, on 10/05/2008, -2/+33Yeah except that Obama wasn't even a member of that "terrorist" group, he worked with a guy who did 25 years earlier. McCain's been in Congress, so he's worked with pedophiles and thieves. Ergo John associates with known pedophiles and thieves. See how that works? Palin may have actually been a member, not some 6-degrees of Kevin Bacon version.
- Chestnutridge, on 10/05/2008, -1/+29The joke is that that Obama has denounced Ayers' radical views and activities. While, Ayers hosted a small gathering for Obama in 1995, early in his political career, he was only a child when Ayers was part of the Weathermen. And while Obama and Ayers live in the same Chicago neighborhood and served on a charity board together, there is no evidence they have "palled" around. It is a joke that you are taking such a bogus charge seriously.
- FazS, on 10/05/2008, -2/+29The guy who skipped away from his disfigured wife is the one top of the ticket. He is also the one who had the bad judgment to pick Palin (you have seen the interviews and the 'debate') as a purely political move.
- deadbaby, on 10/05/2008, -3/+24Expect more if it in the next few weeks. McCain's campaign is desperate now. They know they can't win on the issues. It's a shame the McCain campaign isn't even sure enough of their own policies to talk about them. They'd rather talk about lies & half truths.
- bjornski, on 10/06/2008, -1/+22I've posted it at least twice, but I at least put the link to Americablog, where I found it, who had it posted as a viral e-mail they'd gotten.
References, people. Use 'em if ya got 'em. ;) - savagesteve13, on 10/05/2008, -1/+22She attended a secessionist rally and sent them a DVD of her welcoming the members. Palin's husband was a member of the Alaska Independence Party.
If that isn't association I don't know what is. All obama has to do is walk by a building and the GOP accuses him of associating with the people inside. - cadmiumpaint, on 10/05/2008, -3/+20The fact that the McCain campaign is throwing out their last hail mary that is the "swift boat style attacks " shows how desperate and scared they are. They know they have no real economic plan. Their entire platform is based on W's policies and they know that voters....esp the indies won't go with it, so they're hoping...grasping at this last ditched effort at mudslinging.
Keep it up McCain/Palin....you should giftwrap the presidency for Obama now that you have some time. - gdonald, on 10/05/2008, -1/+16Sarah Palin is a moron, plain and simple.
- queenbee93, on 10/05/2008, -4/+18She is attacking Barack due to his association with Ayers? Then Palin should be attacked, due to her long association with Todd Palin who WAS a secessionist and may yet be one.
- syndustry, on 10/06/2008, -0/+13Mentor: A wise and trusted counselor or teacher
Malcom X; D. 1965
Barack Obama: B. 1961
I may be wrong but I don't remember Malcom X teaching Pre-school. - headzoo, on 10/05/2008, -0/+13Psst.. The VP is a heart beat away from the presidency. They aren't just window dressing. They need to have the same qualifications as the prez him/herself.
Comparing the VP candidate and the candidate for president is perfectly reasonable. It's unfortunate that your view is all too wide spread, which is the only reason anyone is taking Palin seriously. - juliehardman, on 10/05/2008, -27/+40He/She did not write this. It is plagiarized!
Even so I do agree with it! - boombye, on 10/05/2008, -1/+13Everyone in the community organizing circle knows each other in Chicago. You really must be some small town dumb ass. Seriously, I'm just laughing at you now. Keep bringing race into this you dumb ass, it makes you look ignorant.
- boombye, on 10/05/2008, -1/+13So if you serve for a charity, you're supposed to be responsible for other people in the same charity? A ***** charity mate. Yeah I'm sure he was cheering them on when he was a baby in the 60s too. You're a genius.
- inactive, on 10/05/2008, -10/+21*whispers* It's because their black.
- savagesteve13, on 10/05/2008, -2/+13All the Republicans have left is smears. They're hoping to do damage like they did to John Kerry. I think the Democrats should unleash a flurry of truth about Palin and McCain, the public would be shocked to find out what those two clowns have been doing.
- drmangrum, on 10/05/2008, -5/+16I don't know why you're being dug down, you're absolutely right. This has been posted at LEAST 3 times that i'm aware of.
- RangerDanger75, on 10/05/2008, -2/+13http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=mg5tl87rEE4
- inactive, on 10/05/2008, -1/+12"Sarah as a candidate for Governor appeared at the AIP Convention in 2006, and sent a welcoming DVD to the membership at the 2008 AIP statewide convention."
http://www.akip.org/090308.html
She may not have been a member, but she obviously on some level supports their aims. - Lewie, on 10/05/2008, -2/+12I think he accidentally that sentence.
- archiesteel, on 10/05/2008, -1/+11But they *are* lies. You won't acknowledge it, of course, because you see these lies as serving your cause, and will repeat these "talking points" ad nauseam because a) you're too stupid to think for yourself, and b) to you the end justifies the means, and putting your guy in the Oval Office is more important that truth, justice and the welfare of this country.
- mcbarron, on 10/06/2008, -1/+11Their != They're != There
Learn English. - StarlessKnight, on 10/05/2008, -1/+10What's their plan for Iraq?
Assuming you pull one out of your butt, answer this: why was Palin unable or unwilling to say that plan during the VP Debate?
Talking points? Where are yours? - Chestnutridge, on 10/05/2008, -4/+13She may have. There is a tape of the head of this secessionist group telling a meeting of his people that she is a member of the group and only pretending to be a Republican to get elected. Now obviously, that was before she was handed her ticket to the big time but it does make you wonder what was going on.
- btschul, on 10/05/2008, -3/+12http://www.akip.org/090308.html
- archiesteel, on 10/05/2008, -1/+10"Obama served on same comittee ( of 8) that ayers did for YEARS."
A committee which convened 3 or 4 times per year, I believe.
The Obama-Ayers relationship, as detailed by the same NYT article Palin toted (and which, since you are brainwashed into believing anything she says, you must take at face value), cannot be qualified as "close." The Palins' involvement with the AIP, on the other hand, is rather compromising.
But please, keep on with your unsubstantiated smears - we know that to you the end justifies the means, and if that means lying through your teeth with no regard for your future reputation or credibility, then so be it! - btschul, on 10/05/2008, -1/+10http://www.akip.org/090308.html
- peaceninja, on 10/05/2008, -0/+9i think it legitimizes the 'liberal media' to bring up the point without republicans going ***** crazy.
- inactive, on 10/05/2008, -5/+13As far as I’m concerned secessionists are the ultimate terrorists. That is why Abe Lincoln whipped the floor with those ***** during the civil war. We should not allow Sarah “Alaska Uber Alles” Palin nowhere near the white house.
- ocellnuri, on 10/05/2008, -0/+8Is that available on a T-Shirt yet? All of it?
- chikensrule, on 10/05/2008, -1/+9The woman is an idiot, I'm surprised she remembered the name of The New York Times this time around.
- savagesteve13, on 10/05/2008, -2/+10Are you telling me I should be afraid of some negro youth?
What are you a Klansman? - bjornski, on 10/06/2008, -0/+8@Zarchon
Want to talk crazy priests? Should we go into Palin's spiritual advisor, who gained fame witch-hunting?
How about the "pray the gay away" mentality?
Do you really want to get into religion and crazy priests on this one? - fishbeef33, on 10/05/2008, -0/+8Oh, hello again, racist. I've seen your disgusting black-hating messages in other threads as well, but I don't block you because it's good to be reminded once and a while of the type of bigotry, ignorance, and hatred we should all be fighting against.
Have fun with your simple-minded life. Maybe someday you'll join the 21st century. - MistySteele, on 10/05/2008, -1/+8"This is not a man who sees America as you and I do -- as the greatest force for good in the world," Palin said. "This is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to pal around with terrorists who targeted their own country."
REALLY???? I mean, REALLY???? This is all you got left?????? Good luck with that next month. It will reinforce the base, but not draw in many "swing" voters. - vision777, on 10/05/2008, -2/+9I don't know a lot about Ayers but since he is so bad why is he not in prison?
- Addicuss, on 10/05/2008, -1/+8We all know republicans believe the rules apply to everyone...
Except themselves. I mean let's face it. If Obama had an unwed, teenage, pregnant daughter McCain would be running 9 different ads nationwide about it. When it happens to a fellow conservative what happens? "Well you know life happens, and Bristol has made the right decision to keep her child"
I mean seriously... This from a woman who preaches abstinence as the only form of birth control. The sheer hypocrisy of it is maddening - onestrawplz, on 10/05/2008, -1/+8because it's not a dead horse; it's still election season...come november HOPEFULLY mccain/palin articles will be a thing of the past, but we still need to hang in there and keep the nitwits out off office. this is important.
- boombye, on 10/05/2008, -1/+8jabberwolf claiming something about bold faced lies, ha this is funny... you and offpiste are funny guys
- archiesteel, on 10/05/2008, -2/+8Not two years, five - and we now know that Todd Palin is more involved in affairs of state that Palin would like us to believe.
