In remarks at a Colorado airport hangar today, Gov. Sarah Palin tore into Senator Barack Obama with a twist that she ripped right from the headlines of this very newspaper.

Without apparently mentioning the name of William C. Ayers, a professor in Chicago who is a former member of the radical Weathermen, Ms. Palin said, according to a pool report from her appearance:

“There is a lot of interest, I guess, in what I read and what I’ve read lately. Well, I was reading my copy of today’s New York Times and I was interested to read about Barack’s friends from Chicago.

“I get to bring this up not to pick a fight, but it was there in the New York Times, so we are gonna talk about it. Turns out one of Barack’s earliest supporters is a man who, according to the New York Times, and they are hardly ever wrong, was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that quote launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and US Capitol. Wow. These are the same guys who think patriotism is paying higher taxes.

“This is not a man who sees America as you see it and how I see America. We see America as the greatest force for good in this world. If we can be that beacon of light and hope for others who seek freedom and democracy and can live in a country that would allow intolerance in the equal rights that again our military men and women fight for and die for for all of us. Our opponent though, is someone who sees America it seems as being so imperfect that he’s palling around with terrorists who would target their own country?”

This is the latest sign of desperation by the McCain caimpaign, nothing against Gov. Palin because she is clearly doing what Sen. McCain tells her to do.

So I wonder if this is what we are going to see in this last four weeks from McCain. Cn't win on the issues so lets slander, smear and use scare tactics to see if we can sneak in to the WH.

Hi RR,

You are right on about Mr. Ayers and his continued world views. I would like to point out again though, that Sen. Obama's relationship with Mr. Ayers was working on a charitable foundation, not drawing up plans to blow up the White House on the back of a napkin.

And, as I am trying to improve my overall experience on ATS, I will refrain from pointing out the past and or present associations of just about any politician, banker, CEO, or ditch digger, that could be considered questionable.

Everybody has skeletons in the proverbial closet, it just depends on who wants to shine a light on them and what their motives are.

People change. We all have histories that we may have questioned when thrown into the public spotlight. Gov. Palin included.

I know I'm not the same person I was 40 yrs ago. Some good, some bad. Just human.

edit: plus this is pretty old news.



Some people change...but Ayers didn't. Right after the attacks of 9/11/01 William Ayers made this quote.............

''I don't regret setting bombs,'' Bill Ayers said. ''I feel we didn't do enough.''

This doesn't sound like a repentant changed person.

This is old news and it is a shame most people aren't familar with it.



Hello again, I was talking about Obama changing, not Ayers. I agree the man is dangerous (Ayers) and I often question how individuals with his particular views can be teachers at a university.

But again, with time people do change and grow. Past associations that we experience can help us decide who we want to be seen and work with today.

While writing this I thought back on my associates of 40 years ago and where they are today. There is a brain surgeon, a district attorney, two movie actors, a CPA and a college professor of music. There are also a few drug addicts, a couple of alcoholics, a felon, and several are dead. They all helped me become who I am today.

edit: Oh, and me? I started out as a professional classical musician and just retired as a chemical process engineer. They don't really go together, but that's just the way my life worked itself out. And I am still friends with several of those listed above, including the felon. Go figure.

Obama never denied it.
And now we have three threads going about Obama / Palin associates.

I found this video interesting.

Hang on folks, its going to be an ugly time ahead and I am not looking forward to it. I don't think I have ever been more ready to have an election over and I've been voting since 1972.

I'm waiting breathlessly for the "Swift Boat" attack adds to start.

As far as "secret baby eaters" I can only picture Ann Coulter, Michele Malkin and Cheney's demon daughter spawn, Dana Perino.
