Palin: Obama 'palling around with terrorists'

The vice presidential candidate's reference was to Bill Ayers, one of the founders of the group the Weather Underground. Its members took credit for bombings, including nonfatal explosions at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol, during the tumultuous Vietnam War era four decades ago. Obama, who was a child when the group was active, served on a charity board with Ayers several years ago and has denounced his radical views and activities.

That's the funny thing about the Ayers "connection". Ayers held one introductory fundraiser for Obama at his home at the very beginning of his political career and they both served on a charity board dealing with education of Chicago's children and all of a sudden, it is blown up into consorting with terrorists. To the best of my knowledge, that was extent of their connection. Don't tell that to some people though who seem convinced that Obama is all but running some domestic terrorist cell. Pretty sad if you ask me. Funny thing, this terrorist connection link trash was also attempted against MLK back in the 1960s. The more things change, the more they stay the same I suppose.

Attention DerekJ you whitewashing ignorant slut!!!
Did you know Barack Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers places the ersatz messiah in a position where he could not obtain a security clearance at the Pentagon, etc? In other words, Barack Obama or anyone else having a relationship with Bill Ayers would be considered a threat to National Security.
BTW, MLK was a Republican and democRats like RFK were behind the investigation...Next time tell the whole story...you kool-aide guzzling democRat.

It begins with voters who made democRats a majority in congress. They are clearly responsible for the price increases you pay at the pump, at the grocery store, for utilities, etc.
For the most part the democRat Party demanded relaxed qualifications for home loans, etc. They assumed homes would hold their value and if a default occurred the home could simply be resold, etc. Of course they forgot to consider any,“what ifs.”
Relaxing home loan qualifications for people with low income is all well and fine, people need help. However, if congress wants to place lenders in that position then congress should help guarantee an economy that would be strong enough for the loans to be paid.
That could have been the case but the stick in the mud democRat Party placed the ideology of their Global Warming Marxist contributors ahead of the American Family. What many call a hoax allowed a 30 years in the making energy crisis to suddenly erupt and to be left unchecked by those sitting high above the fray.
In the two years democRats have controlled congress gasoline has risen over $2.00 per gallon. The results have been many people unable to pay the additional $4,000 to $7,000 plus per year cost increase for food, gasoline, utilities, goods, services, etc.
High energy costs placed families barely squeaking by in the nightmarish position of deciding between eating, driving or paying mortgages. And, airlines, auto makers, etc. were in the same position headed for bankruptcy.
Solutions suggested by the democRat Party to ease woes at the pump? Check your tire pressure and get a tune-up, drive less and don't forget drilling takes 10 years; never mind Barack Obama plans to be president for 8 years.
The democRat Party platform? Deny drilling, deny new refineries, deny clean coal, deny exploration, deny leasing, deny nuclear power, deny, deny, deny. Fearing a mass contributor backlash the democRat Party sidestepped common sense and pointed America towards gimmicks and gadgets that are not an answer and won’t be for many, many long years down the road.
Today the unchecked energy crisis has assisted in bringing Americans the mortgage and credit crisis and now the Wall Street Bailout. Until voters move stick in the mud democRats such as Obama, Obiden, Reid, Pelosi and Schumer out of the way so the energy crisis can be met head on...Nobody is going anywhere.

You're right about what you say, but why all the hate and name calling? Wow! You can be found even more credible if you would lighten up on the name calling. But I have read the article about Obama not receiving a Pentagon clearance. The military takes that stuff serious. They don't care who the hell you are!

Geez, I had no idea that having even a slight contact with a person such as Ayers can impact a security clearance. NOT! Your problem, John is make groundless presumptions about people you don't know. The point of my post is that this terrorist connection bit has historically been used to de-Americanize common sense talking political figures in the past and it is no different today. It matters not who was doing it. Perhaps you need to take a step back.

A JohnInTheLandOfDelusion what about McSame's relationship with billionaire Carl Lindner? He is link to a terrorist organization that is active. As a matter of FACT the Colombian paramilitary group is designated a terrorist organization by the United States government.

Those in glass houses should not throw stones. Every issues that McSame and Palin have against Obama and Biden always turns out to be worst in their case.

They should both dropout and save face.

let's see now Obama graduated #1 in his class at Harvard?

that means he has plenty of knowledge in the person that he was hanging out with? if you sat not, then he really does not possess all the intelligence that you people keep spewing?

He also did knowingly attend a racist extremist church for twenty years? did he not have the intelligence to know that he was attending a racist church?

let's be honest people Obama is a very intelligent man, intelligent enough to know that he hangs out with criminals and racists of all sorts?

I do not think he is ready to run this country until he can prove that he will be a president for caucasion america as well as the african americans?

The problem with this bogus charge is that it is base upon nothing more than a casual relationship that any one of us might have with someone who lives in close proximity. It's BS and the Republicans keep up their often effective tactic of repeating the lie enough times that people start to believe it.

John McCain/Sarah Palin: "Country First"
I disagree. McCain and Palin are two desperate "Me FIRSTs" and "Country Second". That is what I've seen and heard from them so far.

It is Senator Barack Obama/Senator Joe Biden: FOR THE PEOPLE, OF THE PEOPLE and BY THE PEOPLE.

so I love how I am being called a racist, because I am stating the truth?

I want Obama to prove that he is not a racist?

I have been reading and studying Obama for four months now, about as long as he has been in Congress, and he has not made a stance on anything but helping the underprivlaged African Americans?

So what if you call me a racist, I am not running for President, and I have zero power over anything but myself?

So why would you care if I was a racist and not Obama? that is a scary thought?

just as long as he gives everyone a three thousand dollar tax break, free health care, free housing, free food, what else do you need?

I was kind of hoping he would give me the winning lottery numbers for the next powerball

I'm white. I fully reject the notion that Jeremiah Wright is a racist.

But even if he WAS, that doesn't mean Obama is. The Ayers connection is flat-out bullshit.

But if you wanna play guilt-by-association, what do you say about charges that Todd Palin belonged to a group that ADVOCATED SECESSION FROM THE US???? Sounds about as Un-American as you can possibly get.

Go ahead white boy and say what you will?

I believe what I believe and you believe what you believe?

You need to study Obama to start making comments without knowing what he has and has not voted on?

His record for voting is PRESENT, unless it was helping out African Americans only?

I am not the one who is making this shit up, but it is time that it came out for what it is?
