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.

The campaign pointed to this morning’s Washington Post, which reported that the GOP was about to adopt a “fiercer” strategy against a surging Barack Obama as evidence of their assertion that the McCain camp was willing to use Swiftboat techniques to change the subject from the economy.

Here is the BILL AYERS ad, pass it around.

I heard an interview with someone from this project last night, it was absolutely CHILLING.

They spent a big chunk of money on lawyers to even get this produced, all of it is true, Obama’s high priced liberal inside D.C. lawyers were all over them before they even released it. They are being intimidated with CRIMINAL prosecution for a political ad.

What is going on with Obama is pure Stalinist tactics. In Missouri, as he said the threat of being CRIMINALLY PROSECUTED for not telling the truth about Obama is enough for 95% of people to Shut Up.

They were threatening CRIMINAL prosecution if you disagreed that 95% of people would get a tax cut with Obama’s plan.

Please also watch this video too and pass it around.

Our only way to fight back is to educate people, about 20-25% of the people are lost in this country, we will win this election.

We’re desperate alright, desperate for everyone in America to know who your buddies are Ubama.

When a politician cries “desperate” you know it hurts.

The truth can hurt zerObama. The media will not uncover your past. You have a Teflon persona. This is a fix in this election. Only the information that zerObama wants out will get out. All the rest will be ignored. Many will be abjectly fooled. Sad times ahead for America.

Everytime I hear or see te word Swiftboat I just smile. God bless those guys that put forth the effort to expose Ksrry for the creep he was. I hope we see more and more Swiftboating. (To be Swiftboated you have been exposed!)

A lot of voters simply do not know about Ayers/0bama.

Most people who vote are not news hounds like FR posters.
