Biden calls Palin's criticism 'mildly dangerous'

You are a racist, xenophobic, boorish person.  You are the reason i fight for Obama every day.  Thank you for validating my choice for President.

Take a look at the violent left. If you are looking for examples read this discussion.

Extremism on either side of the fence is dangerous.  NoBama, while you're pointing fingers have you heard of the Keating 5 or Troopergate?

We're in total agreement, Larry.

I second that!
Palin operates at the lowest level the emotional level. She is not educated and uses her emotions and sexual appeal to enhance herself in society. She's Bitter, A dictator, A slanderer, A malicous and vindictive person that covers up her weakness of being EDUCATED.

She never knew who Obama or McCain were until a month ago. And she has the audacity to use language of such hate to paint a picture of someone she just met.

Dangerous comes into play regarding bringing her kids and 6 month old down syndrome baby to these rallies and thisi s what they are listening to. I wonder what happens to them when they do something wrong? This is what we are tecahing kids is ok.

What I do know is there will be things coming out about her and she will get all mad and defensive like she has never done anything wrong. Can you imagine such a perfect person. Usually the people that act perfect are the worst offenders!!!! They have masks on.

NoObama, you seem to confuse radical conservativism with morals and values.  Someone with morals and value does not slander, point fingers or judge.  I'm afraid Palin is guilty of this and so much more.  She is classic "do as I say, not as I do"

As a female  Idependent voter I sat on the fence deciding between Obama and McCain.  I honestly think both are fairly moderate and  have the best intentions for our nation.  What pushed me off of that fence?  Palin.  She's dangerous.  It was an irresponsible decision on McCains part and has probably cost him the election.

I fail to see where Palin is out of line by stating Obama has/had a relationship with Ayers. Ayers is an unrepentant terrorist who plotted against his own country. This is a character issue for Obama and thus should be discussed. If a person in the crowd shouts out something that is wrong, Palin is not culpable under the law. So why should the Secret Service hold her accountable? You are stating nothing more than a typical leftist attack. If someone says something you do not like, you accuse them of breaking the law. Even better, you have to through in the race card. Once again how typical of a liberal who can not see past the fact that someone may simply not like a candidate simply because they do not agree with them.

Why not try to avoid the race issue as it is not germaine to the article... or better yet, why not try and explain why it is alright for Obama to be associated with a person that set bombs in this country... I would love to hear that one.

JEM,
Palin is not "stating that Obama had a relationship with Ayers"....she's accusing him of "palling around with a terrorist" "who wants to harm our country". It's Palin's character that needs to be looked questioned for stooping to such a low level as to lead her stupid followers to threaten a canditate for president.

It's the equiavalent of the claims that McCain's disclosing of flight patterns to the North Vietnamese lead directly to the shooting down of US planes. Calling McCain a traitor. I don't hear any of that kind of talk from Obama's campaign. Or what about McCain's well documented adultery while married to his first wife? Isn't that an issue that relates to how well McCain keeps promises??? Don't hear any of that from Obama's campaign either. Yet that idiot Palin uses the "terrorist" claim every time she speaks in public.

Here is the problem.  The issue may be political in balanced minds, but there are those who are emotionally imbalanced who would hear or read Palin's remarks and think it is a call to assassinate Obama.  That is the danger.  If you do not believe me, then go back into history and check out the Kennedy Assassinations and the antics of Richard Nixon.

Such remarks are very dangerous and hold no place in the politica debate.

Why do you think the Secret Service was called in earlier than ever with the Obama Campaign?  It was right afte the Hilary comments raising the same issues.  The same irresponsible behaviors.  Shame on the Clinton Campaign and shame on the McCain campaign.

JEM,

McCain/Palin have the right to bring up the Ayres issue. What I can not condone is that people who are running for the 2 most important positions in the United States do not have the class or common sense to tell these idots that are yelling Terrorist and Kill Him that they are out of line.

We have a saying " Silence is consent". The silence of McCain and Palin on hearing these rants must mean they condone the comments.

Hey JEM.  They should hold her accountable because she is intentionally misleading  the morons that would attend her "speach".  He was 8 when the Ayers was active. If you lived during those times and you were 16 or older most had similiar thoughts. Viet Nam was worng as is Iraq. The civil rights movement was overdue and there were many injustices during this time period. If I recall Ayers is no longer a "terriorist" and is not doing anything illegal? It's a cheap McCan't/Palin attempt to once again take the focus off the EMPTY Repug campaign and point fingers. Your repug is a danger to this country and should be removed. Also the dog with lip stick should focus on her problems in Alaska. Maybe she can take all of the distorted corrupt Joe six-pack repugs with her and you all can live happily ever after under her rule? (wink wink) Please get out of the way and let us regain this country and restore some respect in the world.

I think Obama should sue her for slander!  She is desperate and she knows exactly what she is doing.  The only problem is it is backfiring and people (normal) are just disgusted with these repugs antics!  She didn't squelch the "Kill him" just like her running mate didn't squelch the "Bi__h!" comment.  They're two birds of a feather....DoDo Birds!
Sarah sleeps with her domestic terrorist!  John is a philandering womanizer! He was in kahoots with the Keating 5 that lost billions of our money!  What a pair!

Palin's tone has changed a bit over the last 24 hours, her use of words.  Palin has once again disgraced herself, made other women like myself hugely annoyed that she is such a piece of work, and I cannot, just CANNOT for the life of me understand what little mental fantasyland Palin lives in that she would think she is of substance to be that close to the President's office... It just never ceases to amaze me and, frankly, confuses me how she thinks she's got anything to offer?  the 10 point bump after the convention is now -12 in Pennsylvania... and McCain has blame, but its HER.... what is wrong with this women....

Jem,

Palin is Paling around with Bush/Cheney the most secretive terrorist along with their buddies the black water org. right now. Now 20 years ago TODAY. Who knows how long she has had a secret relationship with them but you want to talk about TERRORIST!!! They are in the process of being prosecuted!!!!

Actually the government, FBI I think they said, is investigating this sheriff endorsing a candidate in uniform, which is illegal... He will most likely lose his job... sniff sniff...

I agree !! was he wearing a Brown Shirt???

<blockquote>she is really the only one who can speak the truth <b>without being held accountable</b> and she should.</blockquote>Why do you feel Palin should not be held accountable for what she says?  Who is to say whether or not she speaks the truth?

This dog with lip stick doesn't know the truth ! She only knows what she is trained to say. I don't believe she has had an original thought since she was selected. I don't want to hear an original thought as I believe she thinks she is still in a "beauty" contest, you know nothing between the ears !! In addition I believe she borders on criminal behavior by dodging the law and certainly has an issue with abuse of power.

I almost wish Alaska would secede from the union, maybe then we would want to go to war with them for their oil ?

She is pure high school in an adult world and she ain't faring too well at the prom.  Please get out of Obama's way !!!!    O8/12

Not because the McCain/Pallin camp has been disrespectful means that persons supporting Obama/Biden should be as well.  I would prefer sight been shone in their words and actions but I really don't like the name calling.  I find it childish and immature.

By the way I am not American and do not live in America but I find your politics interesting.  I just don't like the references that have nothing to do with their political ideology.  "dog with lipstick" was just low.

Yes McCain/Palin might have started it but true Obama supporters don't have to go there.  That's gutter politics.

The only response to the hate talk and racial insinuations is a direct call to the American people to see it for what it is. I think Obama and Biden are doing a great job of this. But the nasty talk and smears should be left to the GOP while we calmly explain the untruths and lies.So far it seems to be working...but we can't stoop to their level and rise above it at the same time. Obama\Biden 08

She doesn't speak the truth. Go to factcheck.org.  Every negative ad has been proven false, misleading or anexagerated true.  Which boils down to deception and lies.

I think too the FBI/Secret Service are doing some sort of "intervention" with this rhetoric Palin spouts over and over about terrorists that is inciting real dangerous crowd behavior... Sadly, tho she may tone it down, the damage is done and I truly dont think she would listen to one single thing the FBI/Secret Service said; she is on a mission from God to be VP and in her fantasyland she is qualified.  As a woman, she is offensive on so many levels...
I sincerely hope when the elections are over, she will go back to AK, see just how her "hockey moms" like her now that she has proven she has nothing of substance to say, is a disgrace to them, and has some pretty questionable ethics herself... Yeah, she got on SNL, but Tina Fey is FAR more likeable than this bonehead...

Hey Shanti.  To answer your question no he isn't the only child raised by a single  mother. He is the only child raised by a single mother RUNNING FOR AND MOST LIKELY TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.  He has come great distances without the silver/gold spoon. It's  way over due that we have a man or a woman in the WH that has had some REAL life experiences. Please stretch your limited ability and imagine what it was like to grow up half black/half white in Kansas?? Oh I 'm certain he had to overcome some real obsticles that you couldn't possibly relate to. This man deserves more credit for that alone. I feel he relates more to real people than McShame or his pit bull follower ever could.  Please move out of our way and allow us to recapture this country and be great once again.    O8/12

Yes, as bad as McC had it in VN, his family back here was likey not wanting for anything.

Oh yeah let's refer to her as pit-poodle from now on, more yap than YIKES

I have been watching everything I can concerning this election and this is the first time that I have heard Obama comment on his mother.  I have read about it in biographies but I have never heard him say it.  It was not whining, he was stating that because of this experience he has an understanding of what a family goes through when this type of crisis arises.  

As for Palin.  She is a "stuck-up cheerleader" who never grew up.  The reason she thinks she can get away with doing the things she has done (as an adult) is because there are no investigative reporters way up in Alaska.  Well, now she is down in the mainland and she is fair game for the media if they can get to her.

Palin also likes to state that Obama has used poor judgement.  McCain has been accused of poor judgement on those planes that went down (remember he is not that smart based on this class ranking) and in the Keating 5.  His choice for VP and some of his remarks during this campaign have really demonstrated poor judgment.  I am actually surprised that the Obama campaign has not picked up on this pattern and capitalized on it.

Finally, I have always believed that if you don't vote you have forgone your right to complain about politics.

TY Puma... and the others above... I think Sen. Obama didn't want to drag his mom into the fray, but is making a good point.  I think McPalin would drag out anything and anyone without shame, including Cindy McCain, another parrot who paraphrases quotes and seems to forget her own husband's voting record on military issues.  Seems the Iran/Iraq veterans website, I cannot recall the name, has given Obama a B on his record, and McCain a D... telling, isnt it?

No one gave Obama admittance to Harvard, he earned that right.  No one gave him editor of Law Review, he earned that right.  No one is GIVING him this election, he is earning it every single day he speaks from experience, with some dignity and honor no matter what the opposition does.... I would love to see Obama's camp question the judgment of McCain on his VP pick, but that won't happen; they have entirely too much class for that. 

Well said RJ.  Her silence implies complicity.  Sounds rather like Pontius Pilate washing his hand of the whole affair, but at least he said that he did not believe Jesus had done wrong.  Here is an excerpt from a letter by a lady in PA which speaks volumes:

I can hardly begin to express the depth of my anger at hearing Ms. Palin denigrate the many community organizers I worked with and proudly call my friends. Community Organizers make the world a better place, doing God's work day in and day out, night after night. To hear that convention audience laugh in response to her snide remarks really pissed me off. I didn't realize just how steamed I was until a dear friend (another longtime community activist) sent me an e-mail with this message: Jesus was a Community Organizer. Pontius Pilate was a Governor.

I was once a Republican - no more

I agree, RJ... If there is anyone over the age of 50 who doesn't just roll their eyes and say to him/herself "what the hell was I thinking" when looking back on their younger years, they're either a) in denial, b) never left the house.  None of us can look back and not regret things.  What makes it so impossible for Ayers to feel this way?  The 1960s/70s were a volatile time in our country, as MCcain should know, and people were frustrated with the government (see a pattern?).

I do think that Palin really killed her chances in the future, we voters have LONG memories, when she did not immediately address the horrible outbursts by crowd members calling for "kill him" or "terrorist" etc... That will come back to haunt her forever and ever.  And you are also right that up in AK the national media isnt all that interested in daily goings-on.  They sure are down in the big city, and this big mouth, talk first, think later is unacceptable as an adult, much less a VP candidate...

We all need to be watchful Palin doesnt turn up in 2012 or any other year on a national level.  Let AK have her back...  

McCain is the worst thing that happened to McCain. Palin is nothing but his parrot. She is saying what she is told to say, and is relishing it. She is nothing but a mean, hateful, vindictive waste of oxygen, just like McCain. They both are despicable. We won't have to stomach them much longer.

Don't you love how the networks have Joe Biden on for his comments about last night's debate?  Oh where, oh where is Sarah........do you hear crickets?  Yep, she has been sequestered with her crib notes to study and memorize for her next speech where she'll spread her lies.

I found it interesting today that in an interview, can't recall the show, Palin had to have McCain sitting with here.. they interviewed both... Now, c'mon, I dont see Obama holding Biden's hand, or vice versa.

For a woman like Palin, who was the key speak at the Alaska Independent Party's convention THIS YEAR, an organization with a radical who makes William Ayers look as dangerous as Kermit the Frog, she has no place, NONE to open her mouth about issues that happened 30 years ago with someone Obama knows.  How about this year, Sarah... How about the radical Vogler, who you are very familiar with.... do you consider yourself a good American for being so tied to a group that wants to succeed from the US.... hmmmm... doesnt sound like YOU love America very much.....
