Funny, isn't it, how the Obama campaign was going to be part of the "new" politics. Obama even warned America that the Republicans would try to scare everyone about him and his funny name and his being black. Today's news reveal, however, that it is the Obama campaign that is going all out to smear Governor Palin and to scare Americans. The AP discusses an e-mail sent by Obama Florida Spokesman Mark Bubriski who calls Palin a "Nazi-sympathizer" and claims, incorrectly that she supported Pat Buchanan for president in 1999 and 2000. Actually, Palin supported Steve Forbes during that campaign.
Will we see Senator Obama fire his Florida spokesman and apologize to Governor Palin. Obviously, there is no need to fire him because he couldn't be bothered to find out the truth before he announced that she supported Buchanan. But the Nazi-sympathizer crack is going way overboard. What will we hear next? Was Palin a grand Kleagle in the KKK -- Wait, no, that was Democratic Senator Byrd from West Virginia. Was Palin a long time associate with known terrorists? Wait -- no -- that was Obama himself. Did Palin spend 20 years listening to racist rants in her church each week? Wait, no, that was also Obama himself. Did Palin funnel $14 million dollars in federal money to a slumlord constituent who just happened to have subsidized her purchase of the family home (a clear ethics violation and probably a felony)? Wait, no, that was also Obama himself.
The Obama campaign is out to paint Governor Palin as not being a regular America. They want people to think of her as a fringe kook. It's scare tactics, plain and simple. They should cut it out.
