The pit bull in lipstick

Since Ronald Reagan, no American presidential candidate who is leading in the polls at this point before election has lost.

As of this writing, Obama is leading, and the Republicans are getting desperate, so we have GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin, the pit bull in lipstick (her own self-description), accusing Obama of "palling around with terrorists."

Fear mongering worked for Goering and the Nazis, and it's worked for BushCo for the last eight years. Never mind that Palin is talking about one "terrorist," William Ayers, a former American radical left-wing Weatherman from the 60s who was active when Obama was 8 years old.

But that's not really who Palin is referring to when she says Obama is "palling around with terrorists" because her target audience doesn't know about Ayers, the Weathermen, and the 60s ... they do know about 9/11, Al Qaeda, and Muslims. Well, gee, doggone it, Obama's middle name is "Hussein" ... they keep repeating that 24/7 on right-wing talk radio, so he must be a Muslim, right? And now Palin says he's "palling around with terrorists."

Despicable, reprehensible, lying, swift-boating assholes.
