Palin Attacks Obama Over Terrorist Ties
Governor Sarah Palin took her gloves off this week. The Associated Press is reporting that Palin told Englewood, Colorado GOP donors that Obama is "palling around with terrorists" for his association with former Weather Underground founder Bill Ayres.
The Weather Underground took credit for bombings, including nonfatal explosions at the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol four decades ago. They also targeted police stations. Several members of the group were killed in a townhouse when a bomb they were assembling accidentally exploded.
Palin said that Obama seems to see the U.S. as being so imperfect that, as she said, "he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country."
This has been a big issue that the MSM has largely ignored or minimalized.
UPDATE: Since this story broke today, the MSM has jumped on the story bigtime (what took them so long?). I did a Google search and the story is all over. For the heck of it, I checked the New York Times and Chicago Tribune's websites and both have pages of reader comments, mostly attacking Palin (they appear to be orchestrated by the Obama campaign as they are similar). The Times even crows that Palin based her comments on their story, in which they downplayed (how predictable) the ties between Ayres and Obama. Natually, I couldn't resist chiming in and referenced my earlier blog on Obama's ties to Ayres.
