Fear and Smear to the finish line

"By claiming that Democrat Barack Obama is 'palling around with terrorists' and doesn't see the U.S. like other Americans, vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin targeted key goals for a faltering campaign.

In her character attack, Palin questions Obama's association with William Ayers, a member of the Vietnam-era Weather Underground. Her reference was exaggerated at best if not outright false. No evidence shows they were "pals" or even close.." (AP News 10.4.08)

So this is it. When you've got nothing, make stuff up. This is what we'll be hearing for the next 30 days. Never mind the economic crisis, the foreclosure crisis, the healthcare crisis, or George Bush's ill-advised, poorly-planned, unforgivably costly and unnecessary war. Let's just spew some ridiculous half-truths and full-on lies intended to play on people's fears and distract them from the real issues, so people will vote for Grandpa Angrypants, a lifetime lobbyist monkey-boy and world famous hothead who makes Bush look like, well...Obama.
