Palin Attacks Obama’s Radical Ties

Sarah Palin went after Barack Obama's terrorist ties yesterday in a Southern California campaign stop (via Memeorandum):

Stepping up the Republican ticket’s attacks on Senator Barack Obama, Gov. Sarah Palin on Saturday seized on a report about Mr. Obama’s relationship with a former 1960s radical to accuse him of “palling around with terrorists.”

“This is not a man who sees America as you see it, and how I see America,” Ms. Palin, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, said in Colorado, according to a pool report. “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 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 why Palin strikes abject fear into the heart of the American left.

The Alaska Governor lays it out plain and simple: Barack Obama is at home with those who have sought to destroy the nation. Leftists can squirm and spin the Ayers connection any and every which way, but the association is real, and Obama's efforts to suppress any discussion of his Chicago radicalism is a real indicator of how damaging greater public knowledge of his terrorist ties will be.
