Palin: Does Obama Think Terrorists Are The Good Guys?

With one day to go until the election's conclusion, Sarah Palin has really ramped up her rhetoric, suggesting during a stop on Monday that Barack Obama thought terrorists were "the good guys."

"What do they think?" she declared at one point. "Do they think the terrorists have all the sudden become the good guys and changed their minds? No, the terrorists still seek to destroy America and her allies and all that it is that we stand for: freedom, tolerance, and equality. The terrorists have not changed their minds."

The comments, delivered to a crowd in Jefferson City, Missouri, are the latest in the slash-and-burn rhetoric from the Alaska Governor. Earlier in her address -- which seemed clearly non-scripted -- she accused Obama of wanting to drastically slash the defense budget during a time of war.

There is a particular poignancy to the terrorism card being played at this juncture. The country's reaction to 9/11 has defined the last three congressional elections. But it was the 2004 presidential contest in which the candidates were judged most scrupulously on their commander-in-chief mettle. Voters have moved on, clearly, from '04. But that doesn't necessarily mean that terrorism isn't a divisive electoral issue. It is just that the discussion is no longer weighed down by simplicity. Accusing Obama of coddling up to terrorists or wanting to slash the defense budget hasn't had its desired affects. In a recent ABC poll, 49 percent of voters said they trusted McCain best to handle the issue of terrorism, only two percentage points more than Obama.

Now, now, Mike Savage has his soft side as well. He wrote some lovely stuff for Alan Ginsburg when they were "ahem" , "close".

I did not think that it was possible for this woman to get worse than she was with her hate-filled, divisive, smear-laden speeches ..

.. does she say all these incredibly outrageous things thinking that most American voters are really that stupid? Or does she just hope to pick up the loonies who consider her words of strident hate simply as affirmation of their already held whacko views?

.. does she fill her speeches with hate and negative images while really believing all this rubbish, or is she just massively manipulative, controlling and cynical?

We can only hope that decency, the US Constitution, and the rule of law are all restored on Tuesday Nov 4 by reasonable, decent, thinking Americans.

Get Out And Vote!

I'm tired of seeing her big frigging open mouth spewing BS. I wish someone would just give her a good whack on the side of her head. TKO. Good riddance Palin.

What is it called when one uses fear to get others to bend to his/her will?

[ladydriver]

Terrorist.

BLAH blah blah blah blah blah.
That's all I hear when her whiney voice revs up.

Tomorrow will not come too soon. Hopefully she will be silenced and no longer a part of our national consciousness.

OBAMA/BIDEN TOMORROW!!!

What does Sarah Palin think? That suddenly she got a brain and when she opens her mouth, actually intelligent statements will come out?

Funny to hear HER talk about "tolerance­." She has no clue what that is.

Palin is a small minded, mimimally educated candidate with no issues of import to most of the American people. In addition, she lacks any measurable skills short of her extravagant mudslinging abilities and shooting wildlife from helicopters. The most revealing thing about many of those who support the republican ticket is that they are perpetually stuck in the early part of the 20th century and they like being there. They embrace their ignorance and even when they know better they tend to defer to an ignorant base. God help em.

The toxic harpy can definitely hurl feces with both hands... such an endearing quality.
