Palin says Obama 'Palling Around' with Terrorists
|
ENGLEWOOD, Colo (AP) -- Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is accusing Democrat Barack Obama of ``palling around with terrorists'' for his association with a former 1960s radical.
Palin was referring to Bill Ayers, one of the founders of the group the Weather Underground. The group took credit for bombings, including nonfatal explosions at the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol four decades ago.
In remarks to GOP donors in Englewood, Colorado, today, Palin said Obama seems to see the U.S. as being so imperfect that, in her words, ``he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country.''
Ayers is now a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Obama served on a charity board with him several years ago and has denounced his past activities, noting they took place when Obama was eight-years-old.
Palin's attack coincides with the McCain campaign's decision to try to make Obama's character a centerpiece of the final month of its campaign. |
