Obama Camp Calls Palin’s Attack “Desperate” ( Re: the Ayers connection )

ASHEVILLE, NC - Today’s New York Times ran a front page story on Obama’s “crossed paths” with William Ayers, a 1960s radical who used to detonate bombs to protest Vietnam, clearly catching the attention of the GOP ticket.

Although the Times couldn’t come up with much linking Obama and Ayers, it didn’t stop John McCain’s “pit bull” from dropping a bomb of an attack today - exactly one month before the election.

Down in the polls, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin told donors in Colorado that Obama “is someone who sees America it seems as being so imperfect, imperfect enough that he’s palling around with terrorists who would target their own country.”

As Obama was in an airplane heading to Asheville, NC, for debate preparations, his campaign responded forcefully with a statement, calling Palin’s shot “desperate,” “false,” and a distraction from the nation’s economic ills.

Governor Palin’s comments, while offensive, are not surprising, given the McCain campaign’s statement this morning that they would be launching Swiftboat-like attacks in hopes of deflecting attention from the nation’s economic ills. In fact, the very newspaper story Governor Palin cited in hurling her shameless attack made clear that Senator Obama is not close to Bill Ayers, much less ‘pals,’ and that he has strongly condemned the despicable acts Ayers committed 40 years ago, when Obama was eight. What’s clear is that John McCain and Sarah Palin would rather spend their time tearing down Barack Obama than laying out a plan to build up our economy.

If Sarah had been friends with Timothy McVeigh, would the MSM give her an “Ayers pass”?

Was Obama just 8 years old when he plotted running for President a few years ago in Ayers living room???

If Obama was only 8 then, then he’s too young to run for Presient just a few years later I suppose.
