SubscribePalin goes after Obama about his association with Ayers
This is what I’ve been waiting for, and the timing is great. I figured it would be 527 organizations first to open fire in the closing weeks of campaign season so it warms my heart to see Republicans finally getting tough.
Time has shown that conservatives get no quarter by pussy-footing around. They are aghast that McCain and Palin are actually exercising some scrutiny while Obama was running ads attacking McCain on his age and disabilities weeks ago.
Palin is making no apologies.
“And then there’s even more to the story,” Palin told voters in Clearwater, Fla. “Barack Obama says that Ayers was just someone in the neighborhood, but that’s less than truthful. His own advisers said they were quote certainly friendly. In fact Obama held one of his first meetings of his political career in Bill Ayers’ living room and they worked together on various projects in Chicago.”
Palin did not say the claim that Obama “pals around” with a terrorist, but did repeat a line she used over the weekend that Obama “sees America as imperfect enough to work with a domestic terrorist who had targeted his own country.”
Here’s a summary of the ways Obama is connected to Ayers:
- Obama held a political meeting in Ayer’s home.
- Obama and Ayers worked together on various projects.
- Obama served on a charity board with Ayers.
- Ayers hosted a fund raiser for Obama when Obama rand for state office in the ’90s.
- Obama promoted Ayers book in 1997.
- Obama and Ayers exchanged emails and phone calls as recently as 2005.
“Does Barack Obama truly expect the American people to believe that he had no idea about his friends past as the infamous founder of the domestic terror group The Weather Underground or is he just lying?” asked McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds.
Good question. Obama is dodging:
“I was a little surprised over the last couple of days to hear … Sen. McCain’s campaign say that we want to turn the page on discussions about the economy…”
It is no surprise at all Obama wants to stay off that page. He wants to milk this phenomena of gaining in poll numbers over the economic fiasco fallout when it was McCain who’s been warning us about it and Obama was in bed with the top figures who made it happen.
That’s another one McCain needs to hit hard. And the economic crisis does not make the question of Obama’s judgement and character and integrity any less important, in fact, it makes it more important. People need to know what kind of power hungry scammer they’re turning the keys over to.
