Seems like a stretch...

By DOUGLASS K. DANIEL, Associated Press Writer Sun Oct 5, 10:43 AM ET WASHINGTON - By claiming that Democrat Barack Obama is "palling around with terrorists" and doesn't see the U.S. like other Americans, vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin targeted key goals for a faltering campaign. And though she may have scored a political hit each time, her attack was unsubstantiated and carried a racially tinged subtext that John McCain himself may come to regret.

And what pray is the racial subtext in associating Obama with a couple of white domestic terrorists? Oh, you didn't know who Gov. Palin meant? She meant Bernardine Rae Dohrn and William Ayers. Founders of the domestic terror group Weather Underground and in who's living room, Sen. Obama began his political career.

But Sarah Palin is racist because she knows that "terrorist" conjures-up images of swarthy Arabs right? Well, maybe if the AP had done its job, we would all know about Ayers/Dohrn and know who Gov. Palin meant.
