(10-04) 04:00 PDT Carson, -- Los Angeles County - Vowing to "take the gloves off," GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin unleashed an aggressive new attack against Democrat Barack Obama on Saturday, charging at her first public rally in California that her Democratic opponent "sees America as imperfect enough to pal around with terrorists who targeted their own country."

"This is not a guy who sees America as you and I see America," she said, before a cheering capacity crowd of 10,000 at the Home Depot Center in Carson, in a pointed effort to link the Democrat to William Ayers, a former 1960s radical who co-founded the Weather Underground. "We see America as a force for good in the world."

The Weather Underground took credit for Vietnam War-era protests that included nonfatal explosions targeting the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol.

Palin scheduled no time for questions from reporters in Carson, and is not scheduled to speak to the press in her Bay Area stop, the campaign said.

Why talk with these fools when they will not accurately report what she says?

She's correct in ignoring these buffoons and going directly to the public.

Rove gives lots of hints about topics and timing. They're holding the big stuff for the last 72 hr. time frame.

And that works in an era when vast percentages of people vote in advance, and by absentee ballot?

"And that works in an era when vast percentages of people vote in advance, and by absentee ballot? "

Overwhelming statistically, hard core in politics, mind won't be changed. Or fraudulent, non-qualified.

Liberalism is a thin shell and McCain is another coat of varnish.
