Obama Not Connected To Terrorists

McCain and Palin have decided to step things up and make their last month of campaigning nasty, aggressive, and generally what is called "gutter politics."

Reuters has said...

"There is a time when it's necessary to take the gloves off and that time is right now," Palin told thousands of supporters at a rally in a sports arena in Carson, California.

Earlier at a fundraiser in Englewood, Colorado, she departed from her usual speech to question Obama's character.

"Our opponent though is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough that he is palling around with terrorists who would target their own country," Palin said of Obama, also calling him an embarrassment.

Her use of words like "palling" instead of "friendly" clearly means this is a calculated and thought out quote being used to further the idea that Obama is somehow connected to terrorists. This man is a Senator and has worked for this country his entire career, Palin's connection him to terrorists is very negative and definitely gutter politics.

Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin accused Democratic candidate Barack Obama on Saturday of "palling around with terrorists," marking a shift to a nastier tone in the White House race.

The remark was dismissed by Obama as "gutter politics" but appeared to reflect an effort by Sen. John McCain's campaign to target Obama's judgment as the Illinois senator solidifies his national lead and gains an edge in vital battleground states a month before the November 4 election.

It came shortly after McCain's campaign called Obama a liar and just days after both candidates urged Congress to set aside partisan politics to pass a $700 billion financial rescue package in a bid to revive credit markets.

The tougher tone comes as McCain struggles to move the theme of the election away from the economy, an issue that has helped Obama build leads in key states, including several won by Republicans in the last presidential election in 2004.

Obama spokesman Hari Sevugan said, "Today, the McCain-Palin team took their discredited, dishonorable campaign one desperate step further, announcing that they were going to try 'turning a page on this financial crisis' and launching more personal attacks on Senator Obama."

"Instead of offering solutions for working Americans and families struggling through a failing economy, they have offered more gutter politics and false attacks," he said in a statement.

First off, the same article Palin used to say Obama is "friendly with terrorists," concluded he has no ties or connections to ANY TERRORIST. But does that stop Sarah Palin from claiming the opposite? Of course not... when you have nothing else to hold on to as you are falling, you can always call your opponent a friend to terrorists. This is fear mongering and definitely not worthy of a Presidential Election campaign.

Again, the article Sarah Palin used as "proof" of terrorist connections, concluded he in fact, had none...

Palin cited a New York Times story on Saturday that examined Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers, a former member of the Vietnam War-era militant Weather Underground organization who is now a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The Times concluded they were not close.

Palin is clearly trying to spread lies as truth and scare the American public away from voting for Obama based on phony terrorist allegations.
