Obama to Palin: 'Don't Mock the Constitution'

By Peter Slevin

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. -- Sen. Barack Obama delivered an impassioned defense of the Constitution and the rights of terrorism suspects tonight, striking back at one of the biggest applause lines in Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's speech to the GOP convention.

It was in St. Paul last week that Palin drew raucous cheers when she delivered this put-down of Obama: "Al-Qaeda terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America and he's worried that someone won't read them their rights."

Obama had a few problems with that.

Well, there I agree with CNN.

Obama’s definitely got a few problems.

Is Obama intentionally trying to help McCain-Palin?

He is just breath-takingly stupid. These people are not covered under the constitution. The problem is the far left keeps trying to apply the constitution to any breathing person. And there in lies the problem. I love they dont know what to do with her.

Mocking the constitution? When I ask did liberals ever care about that? They don’t just mock it they systematically try to go around and undermine it by whatever means possible.

Terrorists should have no “rights” under the Constitution because they are foreign, non-combatants and thus should not be afforded the same protection as U.S. citizens.

1500 people here, 250 people earlier today. That’s two rallies in MICHIGAN of all places, and Obama pulls in less than 2000 people.

He’s toast.

The only use the Obamas have for the Constitution is for toilet paper.

What an A$$. Like Miranda rights aren’t anywhere in the Constitution. They are a recent invention of liberal idiot judges.

And you can bet your A$$ that as a graduate of Harvard Law School, B. Hussein Obama is well aware of that fact.

If so, this was a DUMB thing for him to say.

McBrilliant or McGenius (whichever it is) is a genius. Here’s Obama going after the VP candidate. It’s not like McCain is going after Biden. In fact, just where is Biden??
