What do you expect from a pit bull with lipstick ay?

In a recent [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87dUFDpPEZo"]Fox News interview[/URL] she also said the following statement about the situation in Afghanistan disqualifies Obama from being commander in chief:

[quote]"We've got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we're not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there."

Wow. Throwing the Hail Mary already. Doesn't look good for the Republicans.

Re: Palin hits Obama for 'terrorist' connection
 

i thought we were past all of this...

Re: Palin hits Obama for 'terrorist' connection
 

There really isn't a connection between Obama and Ayers to talk about. This was brought up in the primaries and didn't and shouldn't go anywhere.

That said, it bugs the @$%#^ out of me that Ayers is walking around, let alone a "distinguished" professor. The man should be behind bars.

Re: Palin hits Obama for 'terrorist' connection
 

I congratulate the McCain campaign! I congratulate John McCain. You are excellent scumbags.

Re: Palin hits Obama for 'terrorist' connection
 

Wow this is a bit too far.

Re: Palin hits Obama for 'terrorist' connection
 

Palin is trying, I think, here to scare the most ignorant of people out there with this statement. The problem is that, especially at this point in the game, it doesn't matter because the likelihood of the people who actually believe there is a legit connection between Ayers and Obama voting is close to nil. She's wasting her time.

And now Obama is about to hit back at the McCain campaign with an attack about McCain's connections to the Keating Five scandal, which is quite a bit more legit.

These last few weeks will be ugly, to say the least.

Re: Palin hits Obama for 'terrorist' connection
 

Funny how people get so upset when the Rep. point out people that Obama has associated with in his past. Her statement was true and if he does win office who will he surround himself with then. Va. right now is getting hit with one Obama comercial after another and all except one are negative so he has no room to talk.

Re: Palin hits Obama for 'terrorist' connection
 

it was proven there was little or no connection between the two. i guess McCain doesn't want to let a little thing like facts stand in the way. and smooty is right. i just got the video obama is going to release about senator McCain, and the Keating 5

Re: Palin hits Obama for 'terrorist' connection
 

The so called "connection" is pretty weak and is an obvious smear attempt... and a pretty bad one at that. I thought the Maverick was against this sort of crap?

Re: Palin hits Obama for 'terrorist' connection
 

No connection, eh? They just served on a questionable committee for 3 years together, spent non-work time together and Obama launched his first Illinois Congressional run FROM AYER'S HOME! Ayers is on the record describing himself and Obama as friends.

The man is a terrorist who bombed Federal buildings and on September 11, 2001 said he wished he could have done more. For a Presidential candidate to even be around someone like this makes him very untrustworthy for the job.

But nah, they barely knew each other. Sure...

Obama has a LONG list of friends and associates of questionable morality. This is not a one-time stretch, it's a pattern of bad judgment and unclear intentions by Obama.

Rev. Wright
Tony Rezko
William Ayers
Rashid Khalidi
Nadhmi Auchi
Frank Davis
Louis Farrakhan
Raila Ordinga
Daniel Ortega
others...


This is something that should have been brought up before he was nominated for the Democrat ticket, but the media didn't want to damage his campaign.

Also, the NEW YORK TIMES put an article on their front page to raise the issue a few days ago.

But nah, we can't look into his background, that would be racist.

Re: Palin hits Obama for 'terrorist' connection
 

What funny is that Palin has had people all over the place looking into her past but that seems to be fair ground. I myself not running for any office would have never associated myself with someone with his known past.

What does "questionable committee" mean?

I spend non-work time with thousands of people. I was in a bar just yesterday with a regular who watches Bears games while I watch Redskins games. We don't hang out or anything, but we run into each other because we live in the same neighborhood, go to the same bar, and run into each other when we are trying to watch our home town teams play football. Let's just say, for argument's sake, that he's a felon. Do my run-ins with the guy say anything about my character? Nope. None. Nada.

Where did you get the info that Obama launched his campaign from Ayers' home?

[quote=Buster;486648]Also, the NEW YORK TIMES put an article on their front page to raise the issue a few days ago.[/quote]

Did you read the article? It discounted the minimal connections as just that, minimal and insigificant.

Why did race even enter your mind? When did anyone in this thread allege racism? People have alleged "retaradism," but not racism. Are you saying that people can't criticize Obama without being called racist? Yeah, because Obama has been immune from attacks because of his race. :doh:

Re: Palin hits Obama for 'terrorist' connection
 

It's these kind of smear campaigns that make me an independent. I'm so tired of each "side" trying to make mountains out of mole hills and resorting to the same lame political tactics. What's even more amazing is how very smart people manage to buy into "their side's" bulls&#t.

You'll do a lot of things people wouldn't expect when you see your last chance at the highest office slipping away...though quite honestly, I really believe McCain was not behind that. That said, he is the leader of that ship and the buck stops with him.

As for Obama's connections, sure he is "connected" to some questionable characters. But so is Clinton, so is Bush...and so is McCain. How about we point out some of McCain's shady connections? This is politics, not pre-school.

And as for the racism slant, well that's stupid. Simply stupid.

I wish.

But more than anything else I wish people would shut their traps and stick to the issues. This "connection" campaign on both sides are weak attempts to sway votes. If anything else, it turns me off to the candidate that throws the connections out in the first place. Maybe if the candidates actually cared about sticking to the actual issues, like fixing the economy, as much as they do trying to screw over the other person's campaign, we wouldn't be in such a grand mess like we are now. (Or at least would be a step closer to fixing it)

Geez. I wish these political idiots would grow up. :doh:

Re: Palin hits Obama for 'terrorist' connection
 

Obama is putting his [URL="http://www.keatingeconomics.com/"]gloves on[/URL]. I am sure he would have been better served to do town hall meetings with McCain.

Re: Palin hits Obama for 'terrorist' connection
 

That is some serious criminal behavior.
