Palin Hit’s Paydirt: Obama and Media Squealing Like Stuck Pigs
Filed Under Conservative Side of the Story
- Scott Miller
You know when you hit a nerve. As the old saying goes, the sting in any rebuke is the truth. When Sara Palin claimed yesterday that Barack Obama was palling around with terrorist… boy-oh-boy did Obama and all his pals in our socialist media start to squeal!
This from the extremely liberal AP:
Analysis: Palin’s words may backfire on McCain
WASHINGTON – By claiming that Democrat Barack Obama is “palling around with terrorists” and doesn’t see the U.S. like other Americans, vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin targeted key goals for a faltering campaign.
And though she may have scored a political hit each time, her attack was unsubstantiated and carried a racially tinged subtext that John McCain himself may come to regret.
Pplleaaassse… unsubstantiated and racially tinged? How is stating a fact all of a sudden become a racially tinged statement. It is well documented that William Ayers (a white dude) is an unrepentant terrorist. It is also well documented that Obama was good friends with William Ayers. This from the Politico:
Obama once visited ’60s radicals
In 1995, State Senator Alice Palmer introduced her chosen successor, Barack Obama, to a few of the district’s influential liberals at the home of two well known figures on the local left: William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.
While Ayers and Dohrn may be thought of in Hyde Park as local activists, they’re better known nationally as two of the most notorious — and unrepentant — figures from the violent fringe of the 1960s anti-war movement.
“I can remember being one of a small group of people who came to Bill Ayers’ house to learn that Alice Palmer was stepping down from the senate and running for Congress,” said Dr. Quentin Young, a prominent Chicago physician and advocate for single-payer health care, of the informal gathering at the home of Ayers and his wife, Dohrn. “[Palmer] identified [Obama] as her successor.”
Obama and Palmer “were both there,” he said.
Like many of the most extreme figures from the 1960s Ayers and Dohrn are ambiguous figures in American life.
They disappeared in 1970, after a bomb — designed to kill army officers in New Jersey — accidentally destroyed a Greenwich Village townhouse, and turned themselves into authorities in 1980. They were never prosecuted for their involvement with the 25 bombings the Weather Underground claimed; charges were dropped because of improper FBI surveillance.
Both have written and spoken at length about their pasts, and today he is an advocate for progressive education and a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago; she’s an associate professor of law at Northwestern University.
But — unlike some other fringe figures of the era — they’re also flatly unrepentant about the bombings they committed in the name of ending the war, defending them on the grounds that they killed no one, except, accidentally, their own members.
Dohrn, however, was jailed for less than a year for refusing to testify before a grand jury investigating other Weather Underground members’ robbery of a Brinks truck, in which a guard and two New York State Troopers were killed.
“I don’t regret setting bombs; I feel we didn’t do enough,” Ayers told the New York Times in 2001.
“Ayers was a terrorist. Bernardine Dohrn was a terrorist. Ayers has never offered one word of apology — he glories in it, thinks it’s terrific. And that to me is not what I would call acceptable or mainstream behavior,” said Dan Polsby, a former law professor at Northwestern who is now dean of George Mason University Law School. “If Obama takes a different view on that — well, OK, that’s data about Obama.”
On Thursday, Ayers spoke at the State University of New York at New Paltz, where he refused to answer questions from Politico about his relationship with Obama.
As Bloomberg News reported recently, Obama and Ayers have crossed paths repeatedly in the last decade. In 1997, Obama cited Ayers’ critique of the juvenile justice system in a Chicago Tribune article on what prominent Chicagoans were reading. He and Ayers served together on the board of the Woods Fund of Chicago for three years starting in 1999. In 2001, Ayers also gave $200 to Obama’s state Senate reelection campaign.
Many details of the 1995 meeting are shrouded by time and by Obama’s and Ayers’ refusals to discuss it.
“When I first met Barack Obama, he was giving a standard, innocuous little talk in the living room of those two legends-in-their-own-minds, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn,” Warren wrote on her blog in 2005. “They were launching him — introducing him to the Hyde Park community as the best thing since sliced bread.”
Sooo… Barack launches his political career in Bill Ayers house. Serves on a board together with Obama. Shared the same stage together at political events. Their kids play together… and his campaign head said that the two were “friendly”.
So how is it that the AP race-baiters find that Sarah Palin’s comments are “racially tinged”, when his campaign describes their relationship as friendly? Friends an pals usually mean the same thing to most…
Just to check our objectivity about this story about Obama’s radical friends, The Conservative Post decided to ask Obama’s wife what she thought about the story. Here’s what she had to say:
Hmmm… feeling a bit unsatisfied, we decided to ask his pastor of 20+ years about his view, here’s what he had to say:

I’m still trying to figure out how the AP came up with “racially tinged”. The dominant characteristic of interest regarding Ayers is “terrorist”, not his or anyone else’s race. This has to be the single most blatant 52 pickup version of the race card played yet. Just random, random, hey, maybe someone will diagram how race plays between Palin (white) Obama(half black) and Ayers (white).
Ummm, racist angles:
1. Palin thinks it is uncool to socialize with White terrorists? No, that doesn’t work. She’s white.
2. If Obama was white we wouldn’t notice he pals around with a guy who wanted to blow up the Pentagon? No, Palin is a gun lovin’ war mongerin’ moose dressing, not afraid to tell you to F.Off if you hate America kind of red meat woman.
3. Palin thinks Obama has sinister friends because he is black? Well, no . . . he DOES have sinister friends.
4. I ran out of ways to try to force the racism thing.
