Who pals around with terrorists?

There goes Sarah Palin again, stretching the truth with her typical melodramatic flair.

Now she's accusing Barack Obama of "palling around with terrorists who would target their own country."

According to CNN:
Obama's Chicago, Illinois, home is in the same neighborhood as Bill Ayers, a founder of the radical Weather Underground, which was involved in several bombings in the early 1970s, including the Pentagon and the Capitol, and the two have met several times since Obama's 1995 campaign for a state Senate seat.

Palin cited an article in Saturday's New York Times about Obama's relationship with Ayers, now 63. But that article concluded that "the two men do not appear to have been close. Nor has Mr. Obama ever expressed sympathy for the radical views and actions of Mr. Ayers, whom he has called 'somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8.'"
Of course, Palin probably forgot to mention that last part.

Meantime, Palin is running with John McCain, who "pals around" with George W. Bush.

That's the same George W. Bush who partied (with McCain) while New Orleans drowned. That's the same George W. Bush who has shredded the U.S. Constitution, spied on U.S. citizens without a warrant, and detained (and tortured) U.S. citizens as well as non-citizens without charge and without their habeas corpus rights. Some would call that domestic terrorism.

And that's the same George W. Bush who attacked an unarmed country in a war based on lies. Some would call that international terrorism.

So, Governor Palin, I'll meet your "domestic terrorist" and raise you an "international terrorist".

You betcha!
