Palin goes on the warpath in California

Sarah Palin, America's favorite pit bull/hockey mom is on the warpath in California where she's attacking Barack Obama for palling around with ol' bomb-throwing Bill Ayers, Chicago neighbor.

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on Saturday accused Democrat Barack Obama of "palling around with terrorists" because of an association with a former '60s radical, stepping up an effort to portray Obama as unacceptable to American voters.

Palin's reference was to Bill Ayers, one of the founders of the group the Weather Underground. Its members took credit for bombings, including nonfatal explosions at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol, during the Vietnam War era...

"Our opponent is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to pal around with terrorists who targeted their own country," Palin told a rally of about 10,000 gathered at a tennis stadium in Carson, a suburb of Los Angeles.

That echoed comments she made earlier in the day to donors at a private airport in Englewood, Colo.: "Our opponent ... 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."

Ace of Spades is at the rally in Carson, CA, and he's live-blogging it.

At The Corner on NRO, here's a quote from Sarah Palin at the Carson rally:

"There's been a lot of interest in what I read lately. Well, I was reading my copy of today’s New York Times and I was really interested to read about Barack’s friends from Chicago. Turns out, one of his earliest supporters is a man who, according to The New York Times was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, ‘launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol.’

These are the same guys who think patriotism is paying higher taxes. This is not a man who sees America as you and I do - as the greatest force for good in the world. This is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to pal around with terrorists who targeted their own country. This, ladies and gentlemen, has nothing to do with the kind of change anyone can believe in - not my kids and not your kids. The only man who can take on Washington is John McCain."

The Noo Yawk Times has finally felt compelled to come to the aid of favorite son Obama as more dirty laundry is aired on his long-time connections with Ayers, who hired young law school grad Obama for his very first job, the famous "community organizer" scam in Chicago, wherein he and Ayers funnelled some $150 million in grant funds to their terrorist, radical buddies.

And no surprise, the Noo Yawk Times story is a total whitewash, pardon the terrible pun.

The above link will take you to American Thinker, where you can get the straight skinny on the Obama-Ayers connections and what old bomb-throwing Bill has been up to since he graduated from throwing bombs to indoctrinating our public school children into his radical ways.

And speaking of throwing bombs, it's about time somebody in the McCain campaign started tossing a few. I guess Sarah is the best man for the job, as they said about Maggie Thatcher.

Stanley Kurtz at The Corner on NRO has done more digging into the Obama-Ayers connections than any journalist and no doubt the NYT whitewash is in response to what Kurtz is writing.

Kurtz responds to the NYT-CNN whitewash:

Obama was perfectly aware of Ayers’ radical views, since he read and publically endorsed, without qualification, Ayers’ book on juvenile crime. That book is quite radical, expressing doubts about whether we ought to have a prison system at all, comparing America to South Africa’s apartheid system, and contemptuously dismissing the idea of the United States as a kind or just country. Shane mentions the book endorsement, yet says nothing about the book’s actual content. Nor does Shane mention the panel about Ayers’ book, on which Obama spoke as part of a joint Ayers-Obama effort to sink the 1998 Illinois juvenile crime bill. Again, we have unmistakable evidence of a substantial political working relationship. (I’ve described it in detail here in "Barack Obama’s Lost Years."

...The Times also ignores the fact that I’ve published a detailed statement from the Obama camp on the relationship between Ayers and Obama at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. (See "Obama’s Challenge.") Maybe that’s because attention to that statement would force them to acknowledge and report on my detailed reply.

...The New York Times in the tank for Obama? You bet. And sinking deeper every day.

Go Sarah go! Give 'em hell. One down and two to go as Hugh Hewitt says. Bill Ayers is rouge's gallery no. 1. Next is the not-rev. Jeremiah Wright and convicted Chicago crook Tony Rezko.

There's a whole rat's nest of political cronies and crooks in Chicago that paved the path for Obama's rise. Chicago City Motto is "Some of our politicians haven't been indicted yet."
