Lemme get this straight, this guy Ayers did something when Barack was 8 years old and somehow Palin thinks he was part of it? LOL

Palin and McCain should be more worried about the Republican backlash taking place in Michigan after McCain decided to give up and pull out.

http://www.congratstothewinners.com/2008/10/michigan-republicans-betrayed-by-mccain.html

McCain / Palin / Rove = Pond Scum

f Palin is going to say this, it is now perfectly legitimate to point out that she repeatedly courted a secessionist group founded by someone who openly professed hatred of the American government, cursed our flag, and wanted to secede from the Union. Sarah's husband, Todd Palin, was a member of this group, which continues to venerate that founder to this day, for years.
http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/10/palins_attack_on_obamas_patrio.php

Sarah Palin is a friend to terrorists. Her husband belonged to the AIP, whose founder hated the USA and who was killed in 1992 trying to buy plastic explosives. Palin has praised the group since.

Sarah Palin, right for terrorists, wrong for america. Google Joe Vogler.

There you go again Sarah.

I honestly careless about this stuff.

I WANT TO KNOW YOUR POLICIES. WHAT WILL YOU DO TO HELP OUR ECONOMY OR JOB LOSS???

The Republicans don't want to talk issues and that says a lot about their campaign and their candidates.

WAKE UP AMERICA! DON'T LET THE REPUBLICANS FOOL YOU!

My,how quickly they grow! So nice to hear that little Sarah has suddenly learned how to read the New York Times! Maybe next she'll actually learn how to read the story as well as the headlines.

You don't see the Obama campaign bringing up Keating 5 or Palin being investigated for abuse of power.

Obama/Biden campaign has real class.

Hey, neededinfo: try fact-checking your sources sometime-- instead of posting a forwarded email as "fact", dummy.

http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/taxes.asp

its about time let the vetting finally begin. you go sarah.

This is typical for the GOP. The issues don't work so go with distractions. The problem here is that this attack was used by Hillary and an entire ABC moderated debate and it didn't work.

McCain continues to tarnish what could have been a wonderful legacy.

Obama wins in November.

She's embarrassing herself. That non-debate has gone to her head. Biden had to treat her with kid gloves and he still won. Then that Troopergate report is due next Friday. This chihuahua has a whole week to bark. But what's she gonna do when the indictment comes down?

"Needed Info" needs to put his "info" to the fact test. He/She obviously has relied on some chain email for facts instead of researching Obama's real tax plans, either on his website, factcheck.org, or the tax policy center.
His/her statements are fraught with errors. More scare tactics being used by candidates, that don't have "real" plans for "real" people.

So "her staff" is running McCain's campaign. She can't even take responsibility for her own words. Sounds oddly familiar.kinda like what we've been hearing for the last 8 years....Sounds like her staff spends too much time watching the View and Fox news. Maybe the Obama camp should obtain a list of everyone that contributed and/or attended every rupublican fund raiser, rally or event. This is exactly how ignorant and naive she is.It's time Obama comes out swinging. No more Mr. Nice Guy. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

the last election brought us the verb "swiftboating". but, the people are on to the republican tactics and not so happy they went with bush for four more years in 2004. this stuff won't work because there is palpable anger in the air about the economy.

the democrats just need to talk about the economy.

SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS ON AMERICA

Fear is such a strange motivator, but at the same time it is a frightening and dangerous one. This country’s foundation of ideas and principles is what makes this country great and different from all other countries in the world- our Founding Fathers, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution are our inspiration and solace.

At this moment in time our nation has drifted far from the principles and vision laid out by our forefathers - individual liberty and responsibility, state's rights, and minimization of federal government intrusion.

For years we have drifted toward a centralization of and dependency on federal government - a physical and psychological dependency that is ruining this country. History will show the turning point to be the Great Depression - a time of economic disaster. This point needs emphasis - a time of economic disaster. Does this sound familiar?

What was originally espoused as a temporary measure, with assumed good intent (the Great Deal), to help those in immediate need soon became part of the fabric of American society and for some a cultural and political way of thinking. The "new" Democrat party seized upon this moment of opportunity (ie., an economic crisis) to maintain and implement their vision of government controlled programs for American society. This changed the landscape of American culture and politics forever.

We now find ourselves at a time of economic 'crisis' – again, fear has been the main motivator. Therefore, it is no surprise that we looked to government to bail us out - we just passed one of the largest socialist principled laws in American history. We have come so far down the road of government dependency in our society it has created a physical and, more alarmingly, psychological mindset of dependency on the federal government for answers. There were many voices of reason on both sides of the political isle that had alternative, capitalist entrepreneurial principled solutions - American generated economic solutions - that were simply ignored.

As stated, America is in a financial 'crisis' never seen before since the Great Depression - so we are told. Historically, the world has made extreme and dangerous decisions at a time of economic turmoil - in fact, any rise of power of an extremist personality or a monumental conflict in world history can arguably be solely attributed to economic unrest. Whether it be fascist or communist regimes- the common theme is the implementation of a centralized governmental power resulting in dyer consequences not only for its people, but for the world. Government controlled policies on the thoughts and behavior of individuals – ie., fascism, communism, socialism and their subsequent takeover– take advantage of the vulnerability of individual human freedom in times of crisis.

America is and should remain different. In 1776, the beginnings of our nation was an experiment never before seen or experienced on the world stage. The elitists of Europe scoffed at the folksy commoners of this new country with arrogant expectations of failure. But we did not fail. We struggled and fought – from within and against outside forces – for our freedom and for our newborn country. We became unique. Rather than descend from an historical mindset of dictatorships, kings and queens as have our European friends, we now became the descendants of revolutionaries – free thinkers. This is our foundation. This is our cross to bear, our obligation forever.

Individuals innately desire freedom – freedom of thought, freedom of action, freedom of liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our Declaration of Independence guarantees the pursuit of happiness - not happiness itself. Happiness is a self achieved fulfillment, not a government directive.

At the same time, democracy as a social organization may not be a natural human tendency. Though we may espouse and desire individual freedoms we seek comfort and security and, therefore, are vulnerable to extremism in times of unrest. During such times of conflict, we gravitate to individuals who can inspire and lead. We put our trust in such leadership. It is this trust during hard times that may blind us – this is the vulnerability of human freedom and democracy.

Democracy and the maintenance of its ideals and principles is hard work– it should never be comfortable and taken for granted. Though it can be the most powerful force and inspiration in the world it is at the same time fragile and can be taken away in an instant or gradually eroded as its principles slowly fade with time. America has become lazy both intellectually and politically. We have insulated ourselves from our surroundings with our excesses and self gratification. We are selfish – whether it be with our nice cars or our expectation of federal government handouts – we have lost our way.

We are now at a crossroad, a moment in history that will change the sociopolitical future of America. Now, more than ever, is not the time to compromise the core principles laid down by our Founding Fathers.

Senator Obama has no doubt benefited politically from this present economic turmoil. We must ask ourselves – Is he the solution? Does his vision exude and support the principles and ideals laid down by our Founding Fathers?

Senator Obama will open the arms of the federal government – the likes of which we have not seen since the Great Depression (one trillion dollars in new government programs!!) - to solve our problems and lessen the burden of individual responsibility. These arms will wrap around us smothering and extinguishing the glowing remains of the ideals of the American Revolution of 1776.

The growth of the federal government and the ever increasing dependency and reliance on centralized government will further entrench the American mindset to such expectations and therefore, make it increasingly difficult to change.

If we were to hold up the ideals and vision of Senator Obama to the principles of our Founding Fathers it can only be viewed as radical and foreign. It is government control at the expense of individual freedom – the exact principles we revolted against – the belief system our ancestors fought with their blood and their lives to prevent from ever returning.

Not all battles and wars are fought with guns. It is time to stand up as individuals and demonstrate to America and the world that we are different and will remain unique. We will never fall prey to the elitists we so soundly rejected in the past. We are Americans – we are individuals who will always come together independent of any government directive or mandate to support one another and achieve the unachievable.

Everyone who has half a brain already know that this kind of nasty tactic of McCain-Palin is a LIE and has been debunked many times. But I guess if one has an evil heart, if one is unqualified to be VP and president, and whose campaign is in the toilet; then I guess it's the only thing one can try to dig up.

The only thing that is true is: Sen. Barack Obama was a young boy - just 8 years old - when Ayers was conducting his horrible activities. Obama is not a terrorist, and he can NEVER be held responsible for the actions of Ayers. Everyone knows that Barack has condemned Ayers' actions.

For a few years starting in 1999, Sen. Obama was on the Woods fund board with Ayers, though he no longer has a formal association with the group. The Woods Fund of Chicago board -- a charitable fund / anti-poverty foundation -- was founded in 1941 by a prominent lawyer and telephone company executive. It is a South Side Community Organizing Initiative, that focuses its resources on less-advantaged residents who have historically been left out of the democratic process. The foundation is committed to building a more robust community organizing infrastructure in this part of the city.

No weapon forged against you [ Sen. Barack Obama ] will prevail, and you [ Sen. Barack Obama ] will refute every tongue that accuses you [ Mrs. Michelle Obama and Sen. Barack Obama ] . This is the heritage of the servants [ Sen. Barack Obama ] of the LORD, and this is their [ Sen. Barack Obama ] vindication from me," declares the LORD. - Isaiah 54:17

" I [ God ] will send my terror ahead of you [ Sen. Barack Obama ] and throw into confusion every nation you [ Sen. Barack Obama ] encounter. I [ God ] will make all your [ Sen. Barack Obama ] enemies turn their backs and run." - Exodus 23:27

It's time for the American people to get it right and NOT vote for McCain-Palin, instead vote for change. It's time for this country to turn the page and seek a new and better future for ourselves and our children.It's time for REAL change in Washington, it's time to elect Barack Obama for president !

Obama-Biden are the wiser and stronger team to solve the crucial challenges we have in this nation and abroad !

This tactic was so, so predictable. The Bush/McCain/Palin campaign continues to wage an old, tired campaign strategy during a time when voters are actually paying attention. Newsflash! it's not going to work. We won't be distracted.

neededinfo...just because you pull figures out of your head and post it, dosen't make it so.
