Palin Keeps On the Attack — WATCH
EmailABC’s Imitiyaz Delawala reports: For the fourth day in a row, Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin attacked Barack Obama’s association with former 60′s radical William Ayers in an attempt to raise questions about Obama’s judgment. At an outdoor rally before thousands of enthusiastic supporters in Jacksonville, Florida this morning, Palin raised her now-regular criticism tying Obama to Ayers, a founding member of the Weather Underground group which claimed responsibility for bombings at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol in the early 1970s.

It’s bad enough that McCain has knuckled under to the same people (Bush/Karl Rove) who trashed his family so bad in 2000 that, according to his wife, his adopted daughter was in tears. John McCain won’t even stand up for his own family, and he doesn’t have the guts to look Obama in the eye. McCain learned the wrong lessons from the 2000 GOP primary, thinking that all he had to do was win a race to the bottom in order to win the highest office in the country. Now, he’s a prisoner of the same people who abused him before, and he’s losing.
John McCain sold his soul and he has nothing to show for it. No wonder he’s lashing out.
For all these reasons, the thing to highlight tonight is that John McCain, after bouncing from gimmick to gimmick, is freaking out. John McCain is a desperate loser and tonight, you’ll practically be able to smell it.
Get the screenshots ready, there’ll be plenty of msm summaries. McCain is going go get nasty and that will be the end of him. He’s trapped between needing to lash out and needing to live down his reputation for being a volatile idiot.

I have a question for the elusive/press-avoiding Sarah Palin: Were the Republicans who served on those same charitable boards with Ayers in Chicago “pallin’” with terrorists, too? You want to get back to us on that maybe?
Do you want to address why your husband belonged to a political organization for a number of years that advocated Alaska seceding from the United States and claimed they were Alaskans and not Americans? I didn’t think so.
McCain and Palin have nothing to help move the country forward, so all they do is lie and make personal attacks. This country is in dire shape and this is all they have to offer?

Her speeches are so OLD! It didn’t work before so why would she think that it would work now. Desperate acts of a desperate campaign.

Eight years ago this month, John McCain took the New Hampshire primary and was favored to win in South Carolina. Had he succeeded, he would likely have thwarted the presidential aspirations of George W. Bush and become the Republican nominee. But Bush strategist Karl Rove came to the rescue with a vicious smear tactic.
Rove invented a uniquely injurious fiction for his operatives to circulate via a phony poll. Voters were asked, “Would you be more or less likely to vote for John McCain…if you knew he had fathered an illegitimate black child?” This was no random slur.
McCain was at the time campaigning with his dark-skinned daughter, Bridget, adopted from Bangladesh.
It worked. Owing largely to the Rove-orchestrated whispering campaign, Bush prevailed in South Carolina and secured the Republican nomination. The rest is history–specifically the tragic and blighted history of our young century.
It worked in another way as well. Too shaken to defend himself, McCain emerged from the bruising episode less maverick reformer and more Manchurian candidate.
Look at the Poor Maverick Now…….

What’s new here? After his convention speech, she repeated the same acript in all her stump speeches. The McCain camp gives her a sheet and she continues to recite it like a parrot for weeks.

Sarah Palin is an embarrassment to women and John McCain will be remembered as the man who set her up for failure.

Is this all ABC can do, is follow Palin around and report on her stump speeches…
We know whe is using Ayers, we know she is invoking people to say “Kill Him” and “Treason” and all sorts of little goodies.
Come on already…. this is not a one person race here… can you please report on someone else for a change..
3 days in a row is enough….

Perhaps the media will finally get the fact that no one is listening to Palin except the 25% of Americans who are wingnuts.
