Kill Him Allegation Unfounded
Oct 16, 2008 Political
There have been allegations that John McCain is stoking racism (what is new) and that the rhetoric of him and running mate Sarah Palin have incited hatred in their crowds. Recently it was reported that someone yelled “Kill Him” when Obama’s name was mentioned. I think that issue was in the debate and Obama made a big deal out of the fact that Palin did not say anything to the person who made the comment.
Perhaps that is because the comment was not made. The Secret Service agents who were there as well as an undisclosed number of other law enforcement people, say they never heard it. They have interviewed non law enforcement people who were there and none of them heard it either. Therefore, we have the accusation of ONE person which is refuted by a number of others.
The Secret Service has labeled this accusation unfounded but asks anyone who was there and heard such a thing to contact them. This might not have been a good move. My thought was that if “Kill Him” was shouted it was shouted by a liberal plant in order to help stoke the racism claims made by the left. By asking for people to call them, the Secret Service might just get a ton of calls from moonbats who will claim to have been there and to have heard it.
I will go with the Secret Service on this one. They are trained to listen for this kind of stuff and to take threats seriously. They were there and say that they never heard it so as far as I am concerned, it never happened.
So Senator Obama, there is your answer. Sarah Palin did not say anything because there was no reason to do so.

GOP Ayers Out Obama Ties To Terrorist
Oct 6, 2008 Political
Barack Obama and his surrogates have downplayed his association with unrepentant terrorist William Ayers telling us that they spoke in passing or were neighbors and the impression is always that there was nothing to their relationship. The Drive by Media has been guilty of ignoring the connections and of trumpeting the lies from the Obama camp without one ounce of journalistic effort to get at the truth.
The GOP has unleashed a compilation of facts showing that Obama’s relationship with the domestic terrorist is much more than he, his surrogates, or the Drive by Media has reported. Yes, it is true that Obama was 7 or 8 when Ayers and his band of Communists attacked our country from within but Obama was in his 40s when Ayers said that he did not regret setting the bombs and felt that the group had not done enough. Obama has stated that he denounced the acts of Ayers but Obama has not distanced himself from the man who hosted the coming out party for the chosen successor to State Senator Alice Palmer. Obama was the chosen one and Ayers hosted his coming out party. Obama did not loathe Ayers’ acts enough to decline the invitation.
The GOP post indicates that the neighbors are all part of a social circle and that Michelle and Barack Obama are part of that social group which includes Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn. Ayers posed for a magazine article entitled No Regrets and the photo for the article has him standing on an American Flag. That was in 2001, one month before the Islamic terrorist attacks on this country. Obama has continued his association with Ayers since that time and he has voiced no opposition to Ayers’ treatment of the Flag. The GOP site contains quite a few details.
Sarah Palin has been untethered since the VP debate and has gone on the full attack. She made the connection of Obama to Ayers and said that Obama does not see America like the rest of us do. Basically, Palin pointed out that Obama has a terrorist as a friend and he has never ended that friendship. Palin is spot on and she needs to keep up these attacks and start adding all the other shady characters from Obama’s past.
A Democratic strategist tried to minimize Palin by saying:
“It’s a giant changing of the subject,” said Jenny Backus, a Democratic strategist. “The problem is the messenger. If you want to start throwing fire bombs, you don’t send out the fluffy bunny to do it. I think people don’t take Sarah Palin seriously.”
My friend Don Surber had to agree with Backus and brilliantly points out:
Yes, if you want fire-bombing done right, Obama is the expert on who to call.
Truer words were never spoken.
Palin Shines In VP Debate
Oct 3, 2008 Political
I watched the VP debate anticipating that Sarah Palin would do better than many thought because the debate is live and cannot be edited to make her look stupid. I am not indicating that she has not had less than stellar moments in her interviews only that the MSM has edited out some of the material and not shown the more flattering items. In the debate Palin was fresh and on the attack. She left Senator Joe Biden looking tired by the end of the night. She was so effective that he went on a rant to show John McCain was not a maverick. His rant was not factual and this added to the list of factual errors he made all night. My first thoughts were that he had a better grasp of the substance and she had better style and presentation. But Biden took liberties with the truth and told America that Barack Obama had not done some of the things he had and he gave Obama credit for some things with which he had little or no involvement.
There were no gotcha moments (thanks to Ifill’s book revelation?) and neither made a gaffe that will derail their respective campaigns but Palin continually chided Biden for looking to the past instead of the future. This is how she parried his attempts to connect McCain with the Bush administration. Amazingly, the very people who chide McCain for voting 90% of the time with the President (read his party) have voted with their party over 95% of the time and then turned around and supported the Bush bailout plan. Is it fair to say that they have sided with bush as well (and no Obama did not demand and get changes, he just claims he did)?
I think that Palin’s performance out shined Biden who has gotten little attention with regard to his weekly gaffes as the media casts its attention on whether Palin knows every vote John McCain ever cast.
She did well and I think this will tighten the polls a little bit. I don’t think the recent drop was very much attributable to the constant mocking of Palin that has occurred in the recent weeks and is more a reflection of the news about the Democratic induced economic crisis. However, it is likely that the constant video of her problems in her Couric interview caused some folks in traditionally red states to pause. I think last night’s performance will strengthen the Republican support in those areas.
CBS and other media outlets have Biden as the winner but that should come as no surprise. A large number of their viewers are left wing and many of the votes come from IPs outside the country. The Drudge report poll (where greater than 95% of the IPs in the last poll were in country) shows her with a 70-28 win (as of this post). The more accurate polls will come out in the next few days and then we will see how it played out. It should come as no surprise that the MSM is working hard to ensure a Democratic win in November so they will harp that Biden won no matter what.
Sarah Palin shocked many of the wingnuts and they are really unable to form a rational argument to show she lost. They continue to say she and McCain represent 4 more years of Bush and fail to make any other reasonable argument about why they should not be elected. McCain will not be 4 more years of Bush but Obama will be 4 years of worse than Carter.
Biden tried to say that he Obama was the true candidate of change but he must have meant the acronym CHANGE (Come Help A Nobody Get Elected).
One last thing. Pundits dismissed Palin by saying that Biden commanded the subjects (if you ignore his factual errors) and that Palin showed she was good at memorizing her talking points. I heard one person last night say that America wants a person who has command of the subjects and not one who can memorize them from a book.
Did anyone hear that argument made when Barack Obama debated John McCain? It is obvious that Obama spent a few days memorizing things to attack McCain with and it is obvious that McCain, though not as dynamic as Obama, had command of the subjects. Yet the wingnut pundits want us to dismiss the VP nominee as unqualified for the office because she learned her talking points but in the same breath expect us to vote for the guy at the top of their ticket who did nothing more than memorize his talking points.
To be sure, Palin had some facts wrong but isn’t Biden the guy who is supposed to have had command of them? He must have spent too many hours watching the tapes from FDR’s televised debates.
This will be fun. I just hope that McCain goes on the attack once this bill gets passed (not that I want it to pass). He can then start tying Obama to the crooks in this mess.
More Liberal Sexism
Oct 2, 2008 Political
John Neffinger wrote a piece for the Huffington Post in which he is describing how the debate could end up being problematic for Biden:
What if , midway through, Palin is doing okay, or better than okay? If you’re Joe Biden, are you going to just sit there and let her play you to a draw – or beat you? On the biggest stage Biden has ever been on, is he going to let himself get shown up by someone everybody knows is an idiot? Or does Biden get agitated, and start looking for opportunities to attack, to pin Palin down, to put her in her place? If Biden stops playing it safe, all bets are off. He might be brilliant, but things might also go horribly wrong. Huffington Post [emphasis mine]
I guess the left was not clear enough when it spent the last month telling us that Palin was a disgraceful mother because she worked instead of taking care of her children and because she gave birth to a child with a genetic disorder. She is less than a woman because she believes in having children rather than murdering them and Sandra Bernhard would like to see her raped by big black men (imagine if Imus had made a remark about big black men being rapists).
So this nimrod wants Palin put in her place. And what place is that, perhaps in the kitchen fetchin’ her man a brew or gettin’ vittles ready for the younguns?
Imagine how it would have played had Hillary won the nomination and a writer said that McCain had to put her in her place. And I know without a single doubt in my military mind that if a writer, in a pre debate article about Obama and McCain, had said; “McCain needs to attack quickly and put him in his place” the cry of racism would be heard from coast to coast. This would be another code word for racism.
All of this is ground clutter but it points out the hypocrisy of the idiots on the left and their supposed party of tolerance. They are fond of telling women they can achieve anything but only so long as they remain subservient to the ideals of the far left feminazis. Any independent woman who is conservative is not worthy of all that life has to offer.
The only way that Palin could get in their good graces would be to sacrifice her newborn son and call it a very late term abortion.
Fortunately, she has more class than that and higher moral standards than the liberal baby murderers.
The debate will be fun and either of them could win. Though wouldn’t it be nice if Palin puts Biden in his place?

In Time For The Debate; Who Am I?
Oct 2, 2008 Political
Many people had never heard of a certain Alaskan Governor until a few weeks ago and now she is preparing to participate in a debate between VP candidates. In honor of the hits she has taken over the last few weeks and the unrelenting personal and sexist attacks from the media who claim she is not ready, I present to you a Pre Debate trivia question. It is not hard so give it a try:
I am under 45 years old.
I love the outdoors.
I hunt.
I am a Republican reformer.
I have taken on the Republican Party establishment.
I have many children.
I have a spot on the national ticket as Vice President with less than two years in the governor’s office.
Have you ever heard of me before now?
According to the Liberals, he was not ready to be president either…
Big Dog Salute to Peter Porcupine.
