Remember when Obama came out and asked the press to back off Palin and her family? He's a better person than those two will ever be.

But who is to say that it wasn't because people were associating those attacks with the Obama campaign? People to this day still think that Obama was behind those attacks.

Show me the proof. If you don't have proof it's purely fearmongering at it's finest.

I can show you proof of what obama said to back up my post. Over to you. Proof. Thanks.

At a brief press availability in Monroe, Mich., ABC News asked Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., if he had any response to Gov. Sarah Palin's statement that her unmarried 17-year-old daughter Bristol is pregnant.

''Let me be a clear as possible: I have said before and I will repeat again, I think people's families are off limits," Obama said, "and people's children are especially off limits.

"This shouldn't be part of our politics," he continued, "It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as governor, or her potential performance as a vice president.

"And so I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories," he said. "You know my mother had me when she was 18, and how a family deals with issues and, you know, teenage children, that shouldn't be the topic of our politics and I hope that anybody who is supporting me understands that's off limits."

You want proof of what people think? You mean you didn't know that there were a lot of Americans out there who thought Obama's camp was behind all of Palin's bad press? Tell me you knew this.

Isn't terrorism defined as trying to scare someone? Well Sarah Palin is trying to scare people into not voting for Obama. Therefore, Sarah Palin is a terrorist.

All of Palins bad press? Lol.....
A lot of her bad press has come out of things she has said when she has opened her own mouth. I don't think you can blame obama for that.

I can see Russia from my house.....weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

In all fairness, if you have a group of armed radicals in a country attacking and oppressing their own people, it is somewhat of a service to the peace loving folks in that region if that radical aspect is removed.

"We're going to get a little tougher," a senior Republican operative said, requesting anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss strategy. "We've got to question this guy's associations. Very soon. There's no question that we have to change the subject here."

I find it interesting that they actually admitted that they're trying to change the subject away from the failing economy.

Surely you agree this is purely political? Otherwise, why have they waited until now to bust this nugget out?

And for what it's worth, no, it's not true. They're not friends. I think Obama should have been smarter and if he had higher political ambitions that any association with him would have been a liability, and I have no love for Bill Ayers, but it's a ludicrous claim nonetheless, and it reeks of desperation stemming from nothing else the McCain camp has tried working against Obama.


All I can think is that finally, Sean Hannity has a reason to talk about Bill Ayers. For months, he's been throwing him into discussions about higher taxes and health care.

whats absurd is to link the two. to suggest obama is a radical is an insult and slap in the face to me and many others who realistically think of themselves as radical thinkers and activists.

Obama and Ayers couldnt be more different. While obama believes change happens through him basically and by using the political system ayers thought, at least in the 1960's and 1970's and recently as Sept 11 2001 that the only way change can happen is through radical activism and struggle.

I have an extremly hard time believing ayers is voting obama in 08.

To me the weathermen are heroes.

Well, you know, although Ayers and Obama lived in different states, and Obama was about eight when Ayers was up to his reprehensible acts, that's no excuse to say that Obama isn't a terrorist. He could be a terrorist. He could also be Tinkerbell. He's guilty until proven innocent, and that's tricks. Dirty tricks. But, tricks nonetheless. After all, dirty tricks are what you pull when you've got nothing else left.

Yeah, when you can't run on your party's record, can't run on the economy, can't run on an unpopular war, can't run on really any domestic issues, I guess all that you have left is a sideshow VP pick and character assassination.

Country first my ass... more like partisan divisiveness.

using Palin's definition of a terrorists, she also just called out founding fathers terrorists

Is it sadder that McCain's new strategy seems to amount to slandering Obama and the Democrats in an effort to change people's opinion, or sadder that this effectively states McCain believes that running a campaign on your own record and integrity wouldn't change many voters minds?

Perhaps it's sadder that the latter might actually be true.

So, while I don't begrudge McCain for running douche-bag political ads or making dubious ad hominem attacks, I still hate them. Unfortunately, it could be impossible to win an election without them. And if it turns out that these attacks cost one candidate the election, it might be more fair to blame the idiots whose opinions were changed by distorted claims and half-truths.

Piper At The Gates

I challenge any of the Neocons and Palin apologists to explain who the Weather Underground were and what they stood for. That was a time when our country was engaging in illegal wars in Cambodia and carpet bombing of North Vietnam. Richard Nixon was President and he and his crew made the Weathermen look like choirboys. Nixon used the FBI like his private Pinkertons to persecute people like Martin Luther King, John Lennon, and thousands of other innocents. Ayers was never convicted and most of his crimes are purely conjecture. His relationship with Obama is a non-starter that is being used as a last ditch effort from the McCain camp.
The Obama camp should bring out McCain's gambling habit that he indulged in at the same time he strong armed legislation on behalf of Indian Casinos, and then won hundreds of thousands of dollars in those same casinos right after. That could have an impact on the campaign.

These are the sorts of people he chooses to be his friends, just imagine the sorts of people he would surround himself with to help him lead the free world. We need someone of good judgment in the White House, not a friend of terrorists, convicted felons and racist America haters. We have no evidence at all that he would suddenly change the sorts of people he would associate himself with, so we see what sort of individual he would have on his cabinet and in close advisory positions. And as a man that has voted against protecting children that have the audacity to survive a late term abortion, we would see what sort of judicial nominees he will be appointing.

Flame away followers....

Since you believe he has friends that are terriosts, felons and racist America haters. Well pack up and look for another country to live if you think he's that terrible for this country.

It appears to me to be nothing more than fear tactics that WILL work on the weak minded but not those who take a closer well sorted out look at who he is and what he stands for on what would affect directly on those peoples lives.

I do believe you'll still live be here so deal with it when he becomes the next President. I know I'll have to deal with it too.
