Obama Camp responds to McCain-Palin's accusations!
Edited on Sat Oct-04-08 09:26 PM by vaberella
Obama spokesman Hari Sevugan responded:

Governor Palin’s comments, while offensive, are not surprising, given the McCain campaign’s statement this morning that they would be launching Swift boat-like attacks in hopes of deflecting attention from the nation’s economic ills. In fact, the very newspaper story Governor Palin cited in hurling her shameless attack made clear that Senator Obama is not close to Bill Ayers, much less "pals," and that he has strongly condemned the despicable acts Ayers committed 40 years ago, when Obama was eight. What’s clear is that John McCain and Sarah Palin would rather spend their time tearing down Barack Obama than laying out a plan to build up our economy.

A poster in another thread pointed out this article and I made it loud since I think people need to read it.

1. To quote Sarah Palin's attack on Obama
<snip>
Palin hit Obama a bit harder on this than McCain has in the past.

"There's been a lot of interest in what I read lately. Well, I was reading my copy of today’s New York Times and I was really interested to read about Barack’s friends from Chicago. Turns out, one of his earliest supporters is a man who, according to The New York Times, was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, ‘launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol,'" Palin said today, according to a transcript distributed by the campaign. "These are the same guys who think patriotism is paying higher taxes. This is not a man who sees America as you and I do — as the greatest force for good in the world.

"This is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to pal around with terrorists who targeted their own country," Palin concluded, in the hardest shot of the statement.

<end quote>

Wow, Palin is more dangerous then the terrorists she condemes!

10. OFGS!
Today she was 'really interested to read' about something we've known about for months! Was it the name of a newspaper she promised to get back at us? ROFL!

14. I like that statement...because this is something from 5 months ago and a non-issue.
Obama was 8 when Ayers was running around. However, her husband was part of the AIP, who told her this was a good attack.

6. I'd make one edit to Sevugan's statement
40 years ago, when Obama was eight years old.

13. They started in August
Just because the entire country quickly ignored and forget Corsi's asinine book doesn't mean we should. They started in August, and it's done jack shit for them. Nobody cares.
