We find recent remarks make by Gov. Sarah Palin on the campaign trail quite troubling, and yet another sign that the McCain campaign is turning to nasty political attacks in an attempt to mitigate his downward spiral in recent polls.

Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin accused Democratic candidate Barack Obama of "palling around with terrorists:"

"Our opponent though is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough that he is palling around with terrorists who would target their own country," Palin said of Barack Obama.

Palin's reference was to Bill Ayers, one of the founders of the group the Weather Underground. Its members took credit for bombings the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol.

Obama served on a charity board with Ayers and is said to have launched his political career in Ayers' livingroom.

“I don't regret setting bombs; I feel we didn't do enough,” Ayers told the New York Times in 2001.

Later, at a rally in Carson, California, Palin said the Republican campaign would become even more negative:

"As one of my campaign staffers reminded me as I was walking out, 'Ok now the heels are on, the gloves come off'," asserted Palin.

The Obama camp fired back. Obama spokesman Hari Sevugan said:

"Today, the McCain-Palin team took their discredited, dishonorable campaign one desperate step further, announcing that they were going to try 'turning a page on this financial crisis' and launching more personal attacks on Senator Obama."

"Instead of offering solutions for working Americans and families struggling through a failing economy, they have offered more gutter politics and false attacks."

If Team 'Palling' continues with these nasty political attacks and fails to address the real issues, we therefore have no choice but to call on all American voters to send a strong message to future would-be politicians; we will not tolerate this nonsense.

American deserves better.

Very true, James; but we have to remember that Democrats liked (and supported) Saddam Hussein more than President Bush, so, ergo, they tend to support a presidential candidate who not only shares in the name of a terrorist, but also 'pals' around with them.

Truth be told, they don't like America and relate to people like Ayers, who only want to bring the country down to the level of, say, France.
