I can't believe I actually have to explain this.

Obama is using Palin's criticism of him in an ad that is asking for donations to his campaign....saying that Sarah Palin and Far Right say that Obama will bring back racial discrimination. Anyone will an ounce of insight into what Obama says and does can see that Obama says and does, does, indeed, foster and "us against them" mentality.

As I said in my earlier post, Obama is cornered by his (further) bungling of all the issues and must resort to deflecting attention to (and demonizing) someone like Sarah Palin. It is pathetic that he has no positive campaign talking points to feature in his campaign ads.

Do you even know the meaning of feeble?

The most feeble thing in this entire thread is the thought Palin is actually responding to some imagined attacks on her, the strongest (FYI: that's the opposite of feeble) is the smell of the BS allegation that Obama's attacking her.

I think this is an accurate description of what happened, and why.

Ms Palin is rather guilty of hyperbole in calling herself the "enemy of the week".

You need to fire your fact checker.

I'll go real slow by the numbers again.

1. The OP is a "righty". Yes, you are correct.

2. The OP posted an article about lefties (specifically the Obama campaign) attacking a woman who isn't running for any office and who hasn't been relevant for nearly 4 years. Can you at least try to wrap your head around that?

Your rock star savior is campaigning against a woman who is not running for ANY office ANY where.

The thread isn't about Palin, it's about Obama.

We must be living in differing realities if you show me a video of Palin trashing Obama and claim it to be Obama trashing Palin, If thats the premise of this topic i think the whole topic is a total waste of time, other than showing just how dysfunctional rightwing logic can get as Obama never said a word in either video and i've yet to see the ads from Obama attacking Palin.
Time to sign out of this nutbar fest

Oh, the ad did happen, and it was created by the Obama admin to fundraise.



Of course, this is an easy one, since anyone with a brain hates the idiot, and her claim that Obama wants to take us back to the days when Obama would be a slave is especially stupid, even for her.

Basically, it's a reply to Andrew Breitbart's blatantly racist attacks, using Palin since she's a face that people actually recognize, while most people have no idea who Breitbart or his pack of jackals are.
