| Description | Now, I know what you're thinking, because I've been thinking it, too: there's just no way Sarah Palin can get any more ridiculous.
We were wrong.
Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on Saturday accused Democrat Barack Obama of "palling around with terrorists" because of his association with a former 1960s radical, stepping up the campaign's effort to portray Obama as unacceptable to American voters.
[snip]
A few things. First, we already learned, just today, that Obama is not tied to William Ayers in any meaningful way. I know Palin struggles to keep up with current events, but her attacks are obviously and demonstrably wrong.
Second, the McCain campaign is surprisingly transparent in its desperation. Faced with daunting challenges here and abroad, McCain, Palin, and their team of Bushies have decided they'd lose if voters have issues and substance on their minds. They're left with lies, personal attacks, and bogus smears. It's surprisingly pathetic.
Third, does Palin really want to play the guilt-by-association game? Isn't she married to someone who joined a fringe political party that wants to secede from the United States? Didn't she attend a church where a literal witchdoctor laid hands on her?
The truth is, running for national office in a time of war and crisis is difficult. It takes real courage, strength, and character to challenge voters to weigh the seriousness of the moment, and make a decision about our collective fate based on substance. |
