Palin Accuses 'Obama/Biden Democrats' of Attacking Her Family, But Campaign Can't Name One

September 04, 2008 8:05 PM

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin sent out a fundraising solicitation today that charged that "the Obama/Biden Democrats have been vicious in their attacks directed toward me, my family and John McCain."

I asked spokespeople of the McCain campaign and the Republican National Committee just which "Obama/Biden Democrats" they're referring to.

The response I got was that Obama spokesman Mark Bubriski erroneously attacked Palin as a supporter of Pat Buchanan.

That's it. That's the evidence.

An attack on Palin herself.

In other words, they can't name one person affiliated with the Obama-Biden campaign who attacked the Palin family.

But she made the charge anyway, to help raise money.

Incidentally, in 1998 Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz, told the following joke at a Republican fundraiser:

"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?" McCain joked about the then-President's then-teenage daughter. "Because her father is Janet Reno."

''This is the bad boy,'' he told the New York Times' Maureen Dowd. "It was stupid and cruel and insensitive. I've apologized. I can't take it back. I could give you a whole bunch of excuses, but there are no excuses. I was wrong, but do you want me crucified? How many days does it need to be a story?'"

Now THAT is attacking someone's family!

We'll have some true perspective in about 4 years. They'll be telling us how they are going to change things. Yes we can!

Wait until you see the clip Jon Stewart put together last night. It hasn't been posted anywhere yet or else I'd put it up. They clipped together McCain's big speech with Bush's when he accepted the nomination. They're almost word for word, promising the exact same things.

I haven't seen any reports of the Obama campaign creating or leaking stories about Palin's family.

And he did appologize. We should not dwell on it. I mean let's say someone punched someone else in the throat. And then they realized they did wrong and appologized. Shouldn't he be forgiven? He was man enough to admit he was wrong.

Forgiven, yes, but he said it, so he has to live with it. He shouldn't have picked on a kid.
