Palin Repeats Claim that Obama ‘pals around with terrorists’
John McCain’s running mate Sarah Palin today repeated claims that Barack Obama is friends with a terrorist and represents the wrong type of change for America.
The attacks came as the McCain campaign tried to change the subject of the presidential race from the troubled US economy which has been disastrous for the Republicans in recent weeks.
Mrs Palin continued her attacks on the Democratic presidential nominee after a weekend in which she has repeatedly said Mr Obama sees America as so imperfect “that he’s palling around with terrorists who would target their own country”.
The accusations relate to the 47-year-old Illinois senator’s association with 1960s radical Bill Ayers, a founder of the Weather Underground whose members were blamed for several bombings when Mr Obama was a child.
Mr Obama has denounced Ayers’ radical views and activities and there is no evidence they “pal around”.
But speaking about Mr Obama at a rally in Clearwater in the battleground state of Florida today, Mrs Palin said: “I’m afraid this is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to work with a former domestic terrorist who had targeted his own country.
“This, ladies and gentlemen, has nothing to do with the kind of change that anyone can believe in: not my kids, not for your kids.
“What we believe in is what Ronald Reagan believed in, and that is that America is an exceptional nation.
“I’m just so fearful that this is not a man who sees America the way that you and I see America: as the greatest source for good in this world.”
Her comments were slightly toned down from her incendiary remarks at the weekend, when she strongly suggested the two men were friends and referred to an alleged association between Mr Obama and terrorists plural.
