Excerpted from "Public Enemy: Confessions of an American Dissident"
“This is not a man who sees America as you see it and how I see America,” vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin cried out to the agitated crowd during a 2008 campaign rally, referring to then-Senator Barack Obama. “We see America as the greatest force for good in this world” and as a “beacon of light and hope for others who seek freedom and democracy.” This was how “real Americans” saw things, according to Palin. As for Obama, he’s “someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect that he’s palling around with terrorists who would target their own country!”
There it was: the punch line that would resonate no matter what else was said or done— palling around. It had a special creepy ring to it, for sure.
When Governor Palin—or, as our late friend Studs Terkel called her, “Joe McCarthy in drag”—uttered it that first time (and ever after) the crowd exploded: “Kill him! Kill him!” I couldn’t tell for sure whether it was me or Senator Obama who was the target of those chants— perhaps both. I’d been designated a public enemy before. I knew the territory pretty well and accepted the consequences with some equanimity, but now poor Barack Obama as well was forced to play Ibsen’s brilliant character, the embattled Dr. Thomas Stockmann, the “enemy of the people.” Stockmann was viciously taunted in the public square by a chorus of townspeople bent on delusion and self-deception: Kill the enemy of the people!
There was no way to prepare for what was about to hit me, of course....

Bill Errs, still guilty as h311.
That this filthswinne mentions Ibsen should be enough to make him spontaneously combust.
He’s good with firebombs...
The little worm speaks.
Kids, keep AWAY from LSD.
Why give the guy something to say “I told you so?”
Absolutely shameless.
I agree with ayers, he’s roadkill.
Now, can we scrape him off America’s tires?
Just part of the no shame no blame movement.. It starts at the WH
He has became one of those in society he despised. A fat cat of sorts. George Orwell's 1964 come to life. Believe one thing and practice another.
Guilty as sin. Free as a bird. America, what a country!
What a country indeed. One wonders if even the Framers of the Constitution would have tolerated him?
Thing is - everything Palin said was verifiably true.
Now I'm sorry I did...didn't realize it was a deranged fantasy I was about to read...
Ayers is a bullshit artist communist of epic proportions. I think he has brought some unwanted scrutiny upon himself from Palin, and is now trying to talk his way out of it. Good luck with that ayers, I doubt you’ll make it out in one piece.
Aw..poor baby....someone smashed his apartment and cars and killed his parents...yeah that’s where is was at....
This fraud is the same as a MALIGNANT GROWTH waiting for the host to get weak enough to move in for the kill. To bad this freak and his radical socialist buddies will not be around to see that happen.
This man is sick. I remember the video when (I believe Fox) was trying to interview him and Ayers threatened to call police.
No. You have it backwards. This vile POS was Obama’s mentor and the author of obummers book
Lying is what these pissants do.
They are still the enemy of America - I'd say much more than radical Islam.
