The following report is from Neal Boortz:
And it is the Republican vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin. On Saturday, Palin said that Barack Obama is "palling around with terrorists who would target their own country." She was referencing Obama's association with Weatherman Bill Ayers. Here's the quote, "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 ... This is not a man who sees America as you see America and as I see America." View the video.
Finally, someone from the McCain campaign comes out and says what has been on the mind of many. On the same day that Palin made this comment, The New York Times published a piece, which tries to explain the ties between Obama and Ayers: "Obama and '60s Bomber: A Look Into Crossed Paths." Seems that the Times hasn't been keeping up with the research of Stanley Kurtz, who has been endlessly shuffling through files at the library of the University of Illinois at Chicago to find the truth.
The Obama campaign has chalked Palin comment to a "smear campaign." Obama says that the Republicans are using "smears" in order to distract the voters from real problems. A presidential candidate who befriends or is befriended by an unrepentant terrorist is a real problem in my eye ... perhaps not in the eyes of those who hate America.
But Sarah Palin is standing behind her comments. She says that this issue is fair to talk about. She said, "The comments are about an association that has been known but hasn't been talked about, and I think it's fair to talk about where Barack Obama kicked off his political career, in the guy's living room." Man, I'm sure glad the McCain campaign finally let her out of her cage.
EDITORIAL NOTE: We conservative bloggers have known about this for some time, but only lately has McCain opened the floodgates, at the risk of being accused of "negative advertising," starting a smear campaign, and the old standby, racism. How curious, that Barack Obama should be running scared, instead of projecting the confidence of a man who appears to have an advantage in the polls at this time.

Running scared? Unlikely.
Kinda seems desperate on McCain's part to bring up exaggerated and spurious links. Then again I guess I would be too if I were losing so soundly.
Consigliere,
Thank you for writing to this blog. When I was in the military, we often referred to the "fog of war," the confused, contradictory flood of information and inputs that took a lot of time to sort out and make sense of. Here we are seeing the same thing happening, and since I'm only human, it's admittedly difficult to sort out the truth. Our experience has taught us that October is the month for surprises, that there is enough time for several unexpected developments, and that McCain is an expert guerrilla campaigner who hasn't come close to exhausting his bag of tricks. As a self-confessed Bloodthirsty Warmonger, I would like to see the Republican win, but know in my heart that there are no guarantees, and that anything can happen between now & election day.
