When behind: Lie, lie and lie

There must be a GOP playbook somewhere, because you start to notice a pattern after a while. When you have nothing, deflect attention away from yourself and attack your opponent. Extra points for lying while you’re at it.

Sarah Palin (or as I call her, WILF (winking, lying fool)) has made Karl Rove proud. Today she attacked Obama saying “Our opponent though, is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect that he’s palling around with terrorists who would target their own country.” Even though this “association” has been debunked time and time again.

Great strategy, GOP. At a time when the economy is on the brink of disaster, don’t talk about what your policies, instead scare the people and talk about that “bad ol’ Obama”. I can see the next “Terror Alert” coming in mid-October. Just enough time to scare people about who will “protect Freedom the best”.

It strikes me as odd how WILF picks and chooses bits from the NYTimes article that she “quotes”.  She conveniently leaves out the part that says: “the two men do not appear to have been close. Nor has Mr. Obama ever expressed sympathy for the radical views and actions of Mr. Ayers, whom he has called ’somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8.’ ”

Then again, the playbook says “incite fear, fear and more fear”.  What’s that saying about living in glass houses and throwing stone? Perhaps Palin should “use the Google” and discover her OWN links to the Alaskan Independence Party. You know, that secessionist group that wants Alaska to secede from the United States, and whose found has a “hatred for America”. That same Alaskan Independence Party that YOUR OWN HUSBAND was a member of?
