Seriously, I bet she has no idea who he is or what he's doing currently. Or even what he did in the past or what the Weather Underground was, or anything else relevant. She's been told to say that Obama's pal Ayers is a domestic terrorist, and that's literally all she knows. It would be fun to watch her try to squirm her way through the answer, if anyone got a chance to ask her the question.

Obviously this isn't going happen, now that it's so clear that the mainstream media is so biased against her and are only interested in "gotcha" journalism. :eyes:

1. I don't buy into all the "gotcha" journalism garbage they hurl around, but...
sometimes a "gotcha" is justified. If a person lacks even the most basic knowledge necessary for the job she's applying for, then she claims she DOES have the required knowledge and expertise, calling her out on that claim (the so-called "gotcha") is justified.

2. Uh . . . Governor Palin . . . would you have any idea if Senator McCain
was involved in the dropping of napalm on innocent civilians during the Vietnam war?http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/pop_ups/05/asia_pac_enl_1115306756/html/1.stm

3. No. I'd rather they ask about her secessionist husband.
Ask whether belonging to a secessionist party was treason or not.

4. Republicans would like a lot more conversation about Ayers.
Obama has responded to and debunked all the Ayers stuff over and over again.

If we keep talking about it Republicans can pretend it is fresh news. It isn't.

They're pushing the old smears again because they have a new mouthpiece for them in Gov. Failin.

IF we want reporters to ask Failin about all those old smears, we're helping the Republican quest to revive the topics.
