It's moments like this that make me proud - not!
This happened coming out of my neck of the woods - lovely! Just lovely.
CLEARWATER, Fla. -- "Okay, so Florida, you know that you're going to have to hang onto your hats," Sarah Palin told a rally of a few thousand here this morning, "because from now until election day it may get kind of rough."
You betcha. And the person dishing out the roughest stuff at the moment is Sarah Palin.
"I was reading my copy of the New York Times the other day," she said.
"Booooo!" replied the crowd.
"I knew you guys would react that way, okay," she continued. "So I was reading the New York Times and I was really interested to read about Barack's friends from Chicago."
It was time to revive the allegation, made over the weekend, that Obama "pals around" with terrorists, in this case Bill Ayers, late of the Weather Underground. Many independent observers say Palin's allegations are a stretch; Obama served on a Chicago charitable board with Ayers, now an education professor, and has condemned his past activities.
"Now it turns out, one of his earliest supporters is a man named Bill Ayers," Palin said.
"Boooo!" said the crowd.
"And, according to the New York Times, he was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, 'launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and our U.S. Capitol,'" she continued.
"Boooo!" the crowd repeated.
"Kill him!" proposed one man in the audience.
Palin went on to say that "Obama held one of the first meetings of
his political career in Bill Ayers's living room, and they've worked
together on various projects in Chicago." Here, Palin began to connect
the dots. "These are the same guys who think that patriotism is paying
higher taxes -- remember that's what Joe Biden had said. And" -- she
paused and sighed -- "I am just so fearful that this is not a man who
sees America the way you and I see America, as the greatest force for
good in the world. I'm afraid this is someone who sees America as
'imperfect enough' to work with a former domestic terrorist who had
targeted his own country."
"Boooo!" said the audience.

"Kill him"?
Yeah, count me in the "Ashamed Floridians" category on this one.
