Seeing America like You and I do

Palin yesterday on Obama (via Ambinder)

"There's been a lot of interest in what I read lately. Well, I was reading my copy of today's New York Times and I was really interested to read about Barack's friends from Chicago. Turns out, one of his earliest supporters is a man who, according to The New York Times was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, 'launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol.' These are the same guys who think patriotism is paying higher taxes. This is not a man who sees America as you and I do - as the greatest force for good in the world. This is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to pal around with terrorists who targeted their own country. This, ladies and gentlemen, has nothing to do with the kind of change anyone can believe in - not my kids and not your kids. The only man who can take on Washington is John McCain."

Keep in mind that Palin is married to a guy who for a number of years belonged to a political party that wanted Alaska to secede from the United States... but I'm sure she sees America "like you and I do"

Exactly! Where is the outrage in the blatant hypocrisy of Palin's questioning whether Obama is a domestic terrorist? Is Obama and Co. simply refusing to engage in the character debate unless necessary? Seems plausible, but I don't really get why they let such a dolt (and hypocrite) get away with this nonsnese. It is about time we see some of those Keating 5 and AIP advertisements, with the ominous music and creepy announcer.
