Palin: Bad Guys vs. Good Guys
ST. CLAIRSVILLE, OHIO –-
Standing in front a red farmhouse surrounded by pumpkins, Sarah Palin told the crowd of thousands that a McCain-Palin administration will be able to fight terrorism because they know who the “bad guys” are, “Help me Ohio to help put John McCain in the White House. He understands. He understands you. We understand how important it is that this team be elected. For one thing, we know who the bad guys are, OK?”
Palin continued, “We know—we know that in the war, it’s terrorists, terrorists who hate America and her allies and would seek to destroy us, and the bad guys are those who would support and sympathize with the terrorists. They do not like America because of what we stand for: Liberty, Freedom, Equal Rights. Those who sympathize and support those terrorists who would seek to destroy all it is that we value, those are the bad guys, OK?
Several supporters screamed, “Obama!” when Palin spoke about sympathizing with terrorists.
When asked to clarify the Alaska governor’s comments and if she was saying that the Democratic ticket could not accurately identify and go after terrorists a Palin spokesperson said, “She’s stating an affirmative that she and John McCain understand the threats we face.”
Palin continued with the bad guys vs. good guys explanation applying it to describe who is at fault for the current financial crisis, “Now in the economic crisis that we’re in, we know there too, who the bad guys are. In this time of economic crisis, we know it’s been those who have been greedy and corrupt and arrogant and have taken advantage of hardworking honest Americans, and just as important though, we know who the good guys are, and it is you, and we will fight for you, and we will put government on your side.”
Palin went after Barack Obama and said that he will get America “deeper” into debt comparing him to President Bush in a rare jab at the current administration, “In times like these the last thing we need is a tax increase. America just can’t afford another big spender in the White House.”
The boisterous crowd–many shaking pom poms–screamed, “I love you Sarah Palin!” and cheered the GOP Vice-Presidential nominee getting especially excited when Palin started talking about clean coal and alternative sources of energy to this coal country crowd.
Supporters erupted in chants of, “Mine Baby Mine!” like her very popular “Drill Baby Drill” chants that crowds usually greet her with, “Mine, baby, mine. Ok, I’m bringing that all across the U.S. Do you mind if I–May I plagiarize that? Thank you. That is a good one.”

Love it….mine, baby, mine!! McCain/Palin ‘08 …put real reformers in the Whitehouse!!
Hmmm….sounds like Sarah is not as honorable as McCain in correcting the angry crowd. At least McCain seemed to develop a conscious. Not sure if he is still spewing hate rhetoric. I hope not. I wonder if Palin ever thinks about the right wing nuts who support her because of her hateful rhetoric.
Is this serious? She is so over her head and still an idiot but quite pretty.
The MSM attacks on Palin continue. For the latest see:
http://www.thespoof.com/magazine/index.cfm?eID=3248
Cant’ wait until she goes back to Alaska so they can impeach her.
When are people going to realize that this guy is a fraud? The mainstream media is SATURATING the peolpe with his retoric. I’m still waiting to hear something. I hear, “Uh, uh, uh”. Scary. So the question is…What country sould I relocate to if this guy is elected? All and any help is greatly appreciated.

did you know that 25,000 Jews live in Iran? Did you know they have been there for 3,000 years? Did you know they have a representative in the Iranian Parliment? Did you know they don’t want to live any where else?

the world is a bit more complicated than the Republican’s would liek you to believe…and just a little bit LESS scary than we have been led to believe by our MSM.
educate yourselves…PLEASE!!!!
I know you will not post my comment. But come on Fox. What happened to being fair and balanced? Admit and run a story on the fact that these people are stoking racial fears. Palin has deep seeded racial misgivings and that is obvious. As an independent I can say without a doubt now that I cannot vote for McCain after the last week.
This chick has no substance what so ever. She talks in fairy tail talk.
I’m voting for McCain, but this sort of thing sure makes me uneasy. These black and white characterization, devoid of any specificity or clear meaning just sound like empty rhetoric. It makes me wonder if there really is anything to their platform… I mean can’t they give us some specifics for a change? And the way this story is written, the cheering crowd sound like Zombies.
Sarah is right on here, democrats whine America is wrong for going to war, when in reality every single American in this country should be praising this country and the very fact we will defend our selves when attached. We are the country of the free and the brave. Bush took the fight to the terrorsit, we needed to change some stradegies and we did and we are winning. God Bless America and God Bless our troops. We should never take our freedoms for granted and should never blame a residing president in a time of war. It is good against evil. There is no doubt people who cut the heads off innocent men and send the video out for thier families to see IS evil. How soon democrats seem to forget what these terrorist have done.
Barack Obama wants to intensify our efforts in Afghanistan; aren’t there some “bad guys” there, Sarah? Seems to me that he knows who the bad guys are.
Is Palin being intentionally vague here, when she refers to “those who sympathize and support those terrorists”? She has also referred to Obama as a man who has been “palling around with terrorists”. Are we therefore to assume that she sees Obama as among “those who sympathize and support those terrorists”?
Well, let’s hope not. That kind of “red meat” may play well with the right-wing base, but independent voters like myself are pretty turned off by these kind of associations. Sure, Obama is a liberal, but does she really think that she can persuade us that he supports terrorism? Not credible. With this kind of campaign, she and McCain are painting themselves into a corner. They’ll mobilize the base, but not much else.
Dingbat. Dingbat hordes. Enuf said? Youbetcha.

Sarah Palin wouldn’t know a bad guy if he slept next to her. Oh….Wait….he does sleep next to her.
McCain and Palin will have all of the same intel that Obama Biden would have. Both parties would have the same generals and troops on the ground. Palin would be wrong to suggest that she knows better how to identify “bad guys”. I believe that Biden has a little experience in this area and far more than Palin.
Even FOX news is backing away from McCain at this point. They would like to have an occasional interview after the election ends and they will be ignored at the current rate.
this is why us, americans, are seen as ignorants arrogants all around the world. Mrs Bushie there is just going too car an proving that McCain aproves this kind of message. May God save us from McCain n Palin, our Political terrorists.
Sarah Palin - we hardly knew you.
1. She comes on the scene on McCain’s inauguration
2. She is kept hidden from the press
3. Than her selected interviews ** SNL tells it best
4. She debates Biden ** I think
5. After the debate, McCain camp says no more interviews
6. Now the Troopergate report (think McCain will let her do any interviews)
7. What’s next…will Palin’s assoication with Secessionists be revealed:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eniG9l_7its&eurl=http://news.vodpod.com/watch/4435
8. Palin’s new stump speech for compassion is taking care of children with special needs.
This is the same woman who held the head of WOLF PUPS and shot them in the head one by one (you can google it and get the scoop — it is also in the TROOPERGATE report). Yes, we need a woman with such compassion for life involved with children with special needs.
Her and MICHAEL VICK probably palled around.
She’s frightening to anyone with a rational mind. McPain has no valid platform to run on, so they are running in smear and innuendo. The lies and hypocrisy are outrageous. How can McCain cut government spending and buy out mortgages? How can McCain pay our debts without taxes? How will McCain pay for the panels to look into every aspect of governement? Insane. Read your history. Palin is exactly like a certain politician during the Weimar era- stirring up hatred and fanatasism and spreading lies and deceit.
My Mama always said, “It takes one group of bad guys to recognize another group of bad guys!”
I think that Palins comments bolster arguments that suggest she is creating greater division within America as suggested by Rep. Lewis.
It is sad to see a young governor drilling into the negative whereas this election is about the issues.
that lady is really serious? Bad guys against good guys? Is she running for class president (middle school max). We are in big trouble if the next vicepresident sees the world in such a simplistic way . God help us
We love ya Sarah!
Fox News: “We report - you decide”. Decide what? whether you’re lying or not. What a joke of a “news service”. The worst.
she is continuing her vitrolic comments. shame on her.
It makes me really sad to hear that from Palin. She says that the bad guys are those that, “do not like America because of what we stand for: Liberty, Freedom, Equal Rights.” She is clearly insinuating that the bad guys are Obama and Biden.
Obama stands for Liberty…he wants to free us from foreign energy sources and create jobs.
Obama stands for Freedon…he wants to end the war in Iraq and restore the freedoms in America that we lost as a result of the Patriot Act.
Obama stands fro Equal rights…as a black man running for President he is the living embodiment of equal rights.
If McCain and Palin keep these divisive politics up, when Obama is elected he won’t be able to travel to some of the bass-ackwards regions in our nation where McCain and Palin…especially Palin…has stirred up so much hate. Notice the man holding the monkey with the Obama hat screaming, “We can’t elect a monkey!” More disturbing is the lack of action, and even laughter from his fellopw Republicans who are standing in line to see Pain’s rally.
http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/10/11/politics/fromtheroad/entry4515246.shtml
This man, and all of the people around him should be thoroughly ashamed. These are the real “bad guys.”
Why is Palin trying to portray Obama as a ‘terrorist’??
This is the epitome of fear-based politics. I just can’t believe John McCain is letting this happen; it should be truly devastating to the American people that this is the political discourse he chooses.
Fear based politics. Disappointing.
Why does the thought of her being President actually make me want to throw up. Is it because she is such an intellectual lightweight? Is it because she is a fear monger? Is it because she is such a right wing extremist? Is it because she goes to a church where people speak in tongues and pray and lay hands on you to get rid of evil? is it because she let her husband use her office and her staff for personal and private business? Is it because she would counsel a 12 year old who becomes pregnant by a rapist or through incest to actually go through with the pregnancy? Is it all of the above? Good Lord, we have been the laughingstock of the rest of the world for 8 years……can we please have an intellectual again and someone who is dignified and calm and who can help elevate our standing in this world? OBAMA - BIDEN 2008
What simplistic thinking: bad guys vs. good guys?? What does she think she’s in a children’s story?
OMG this is making me ill. Would someone please give these people a chill pill!
Really, what can possibly be next from her? “You good. Them all bad.” What a solution!
Does anyone out there really believe that whoever “we” consist of, “we” are without greed, corruption or moral shortcomings or mistake? That the only solution is to purge the world of “them,” whoever “they” consist of? She’s been at the pulpit of a bully too long. Sounds like the good old days of the inquisition, or the weimar republic, or present day radical Al-Quaida. No doubt she will tell “us” who the bad persons are that must be eliminated…
No need to think independently any longer. More Bush leadership: Follow without question. Do not analyze or debate with those who have any other outlook.
Wow, you fox noisers really have no shame, do you? And you sheep who believe this garbage… you are so pathetic.
Great…. let’s break down war and foriegn relations to terms all idiots can understand… good guys and bad guys. Repuublicans need to be led by the hand and explained to like little kids in order to understand. God help us all if “momma” Palin gets in the white house
And Sarah can tell the good guys from the bad guys because the good guys wear white hats and the bad guys wear black hats.
Idiot.
i’m not sure i’m okay with a woman who has been labelled unethical by a bipartican committee, siding with the “good guys”. If she’s unethical but “good” what is left for the bad guys to be?
This is quickly devolving into the Lowest Common Denominator campaign. McCain made a fatal mistake by choosing Palin.
This dingbat is a complete moron. Send her back to the frozen tundra and keep her there. We need serious intelligent people for this office, not backwoods barbie.
Whatever you may think of Gov. Palin, she has got what takes on the stump. She speaks the language of the silent majority. The MSM hates her becuse of her simplistic style. There is no room for interpretation. No room for the MSM to alter the message or twist it. Obama can give a speech and five different journalists could spin it five different ways. Not Gov. Palin. What she has to say is clear as a bell.
Moderate Republicans do not dislike Bush as much as Palin hopes. Palin is going to proceed to alienate every possible moderate and moderate conservative she possibly can. She will be left with only Religious conservatives when she gets done with the McCain campaign. One can’t help but wonder she is sabotaging his campaign on purpose.
This woman just keeps getting scarier and scarier
I’m glad to see we have selected only the most intellectually elite candidates for the most challenging job on the planet. I’ll sleep better when the election is over and Sarah can go back to her day job in Alaska (since I don’t live there). She’ll have her hands full with the “foreign policy” aspects of being governor of Alaska… watching the russkies fly over from time to time.
Has it ever ccurred that while us takpayers are going to be taking a big hit, why should we not demand the Congress doing the same since they just recently affored themselves with another big pay raise. I would suggest 25% deduction plus a freeze on their cost of living…it would also be nice if that deduction would be frozen for 4 years. Since the democrats are in the majority, I’m sure they would bulk, perhaps their constituents should start a movement.
I love it when the article include a photo of the crowd she’s talking to.
There is little diversity there. Her crowds do not represent the makeup of America.
Palin’s absolutely right. It’s all those bad guys who are the root of all our problems, and Palin knows exactly who they are and how to deal with them, as evidenced by her vaguely calling them all, whoever they are, “bad guys.” As she said, their greed is responsible for the current recession. After all, we’re a free, capitalist society, and under capitalism, people are forced to act against their own interests for the public good…Err…Wait a minute…That’s not right. Maybe Palin’s actually a socialist?
She is a devious woman. Look at her using code to her ignorant base. Implying that Obama does not like America because of what we stand for: Liberty, Freedom, Equal Rights.
She is a dangerous woman. If America was more educated we would not have to worry about people like her.
I had been reading fourth grade essays this evening and the level of the text of her speech is not much different.
Its sad Sarah Palin isn’t bright or knowledgeable enough to talk about real issues of substance so she just rants in such a dishonest way. I’m not sure how she can speak about terrorists like they are everyone “bad” or against America. What about her Alaska Independent Party that is trying to succeed from the US in a neo-terrorist albeit non-violent manner. They may not use planes like Bin Laden but have been trying to simply steal one of all Americans most beautiful states, finest wilderness and a significant natural gas energy source… How does supporting the AIP which wants to defraud America of those energy supplies and her ranting on energy independence and her expertise… Huh?…. Something isn’t quite right! How can so many people fall for that? Explain? Please?
Wow. I hope she doesn’t actually have such a simplistic view of the way the world works. Presumably this is just a campaign tactic. ….I assume it is. …I hope it is for the sake of the US.
Are these supporters in support of a VP candidate who speaks with the intellect of an 8th grader?
This woman is a parody of herself.
Palin just isn’t going to stop, is she?
The woman who abused her powers as governor of Alaska, when she allowed her husband access to personnel files and closed cabinet meetings … who has been unable to drop her vendetta against her ex-brother-in-law, who supported the Pebble mine project even though it would affect major salmon runs and construct a toxic-waste lake over a known earthquake fault, who participated in a church ceremony to protect her from witchcraft, who had a sports arena built in Wasilla on land that the city didn’t even legally own, who has incited crowds of supporters to near violence. This is one scary lady.
And SHE thinks we should be worried about Obama?
I’m a registered Republican, and I approve this message.
Thanks for reporting, I think that’s enough to decide there is a screw loose in Palin’s head. When Republican Governor Mark Sanford was asked if he could name any differences between Bush and McCain on economics, he couldn’t name a single difference. Now Palin is saying that Obama would continue the mistakes of Bush? No way.
Apparently McCain hasn’t shared his tax “plan” with Palin. Only the rich get tax cuts under McCain. He plans to tax health care benefits as income and then a give us a $5000.tax credit to purchase health care. That amounts to $416.00 a month. Most health care premiums are $900 or more a month. Palin should know who the bad guys are because she is one of them. She doesn’t have a clue who the real terrorists are. She and Todd have strong ties to the Alaska Independence Party who want to secede from America. Do we want a Vice President who hates America so much she wants Alasks to leave the U.S.? I don’t think so!! She and McCain are bigots
and they are trying to incite violence with their mob mentality. They are trying to divide America along racial lines and that shows you what kind of administration they would run. The mob mentality and racial hatred they are trying to incite is backfiring bigtime. It may appeal to the Republican “base” but the “base” doesn’t have enough votes to come close to Obama. Obama will win in the biggest landslide in history if McPain keeps avoiding the biggest issue concerning voters and that is the ECONOMY!! McCain doesn’t get it!!
Mrs Palin’s analysis shows a staggering simplicity worthy of any playground brawl. How would any one think this person should be a heartbeat away from leading the free World?
Were it all so easy as “good guys and bad guys” everything would have been peachy long ago. Her equation of Bush and Obama would be hilarious were it not so absurd. Mrs Palin, dear, George Bush is a Republican, supported, hugged and voted for by your candidate and your Party. Too late to disown him now.
Sick.
God help America if McCain and Palin are elected into office. She is definitely out of touch and does not know what she is saying. If the american public votes her in, you deserve whatever is coming to your country.
Sarah, she is great, i can see that she will be a great American president. She will make the real change that we really need. Not Obama. He is only in senate a few years, but already hanging up with so many problems people, getting money from them, hanging around with the radical group Acorn, learn and rely on their fraud activities to win election. Everything, he adjudges it just for his own ambitions. He is a wrong guy, he will be a more currupted guy.
Sharp as a milk sandwich this one.
This article tells you all that you need to know about the current Republican ticket.
Typical. Bible belt hockey mom refuses to see world in anything other than good and evil… Black and white. Get off your soap box palin, its time to grow up and see the world for what it is.
Devinious- Anchorage, Alaska
does palin think the collective iq of an american is that low she can use this kind of bs to convert a few undecided votes?
Go Baby Go–Keep it up, Sarah. We need you to help clean up Washington and Wall Street!
this is too much. You can be republican AND fair. Opposing “bad guys’ to ‘good guys” is a method that doesn’t help the right. it’s heinous and divisive. it’s just dangerous.
Latest crack research job by MSM on Palin:
http://www.thespoof.com/magazine/index.cfm?eID=3248
I will vote for McCain if he drops Palin.
Seriously…..Do the good folks in Clairsville, Ohio, not to mention folks in the rest of the USA, really hear the juvenile drivel and childish words that the “untrustworthy” Sarah Palin from Wasilla, Alaska is taunting them with? What! Does she think, that we are all so dumb and stupid that we can only understand “bad guys/good guys? What! Are we all just lgnorant hicks to her, and we have to be spoonfed “little children words and phrases”? Do good folks who really want good representation in the white house really want a cartoon figure like Sarah Palin possibly becoming President of these United States? Just think: We already went through eight years with bad leadership,do you want four more years of the same? Bad Guys vs Good Guys Ha Ha Ha, sounds like George Bush with his “The Evil Doers”………..Hmmmmm sounds like the McCain/Palin ticket.
This woman is a buffoon.
The bad guys? In the economy, who are the bad guys? McCain is one of the foxes that have been guarding the henhouse. Time to wake up, America!! I dont think McCain gives on hoot about Americans who earn less than a quarter million dollars per year. Those of us who earn less than one tenth of a million dont make big contributions to his campaign coffers.
Bad guy vs Good guy. Phhht.
More divisive comments from the “Country First” campaign.
Their argument seems to be that what American needs, now, is a divided population. Their strategy is one of “divide and conquer” and they will use any smears, lies, and fear-mongering to attain their power. It’s truly shameful in many, many ways.
Today McCain said he’d “whip” Obama. Where will rational Americans draw the line?
I’m a Republican woman, and the more I see of Palin, and hear from her, the lower my opinion of McCain falls. How could he embarass Republicans and insult all Americans by choosing this unqualified, uninformed, incurious and divisive person to be one 72-year old heartbeat away from the Presidency? Every time she says something outrageous, which is regularly, I donate to Obama’s campaign. I will not risk having her as Vice President.
We know who the bad guys are, acorn is a small nut that becomes a sturdy oak tree. The nuts in this acorn becme millionires by fraud, deception and identity theft, falcefying credit reports. They will soon be facing a Grand Jury and will end up in prison wth Tony Rezko.
Any candidate for president of the U.S. whose mentor was a card carry communist by the name of Frank Marshall Davis and whom Obama wrote about, that Frank was full of hard earned knowledge and advise and that they were like father/son and that Obama attended socialist conference IS BAD FOR AMERICAN. DO WE WANT A SOCIALIST GOVERNMENT OR CONTINUE WITH DEMOCRACY?
Palin scares the hell out of me. In Star Wars vernacular…she’s a Sith. There is no middle ground. You speak in definitives. You manipulate. You’re too stupid to know any different.
McCain should have chosen better. A College grad would have sufficed.
I wasn’t going to vote for McCain/Palin, but now that I know they and their supporters have been deemed the good guys, how could I risk being on the bad guy side? Thanks for setting me straight, Sarah. Only you can keep us all safe from the evils of tolerance and progress.
What an unbelievable load of manure this woman is shoveling! Nothing but empty words to fuel the flames of idiocy currently raging across the middle of our nation. Hopefully Americans are smart enough to see through her act. Eight years of “folksy charm” has been eight too many!
Huhhh??? What a bunch of malarky. Time to tune out mccain/palin, they’re out of intelligent things to talk about.
Raza, voten por McCain/Palin, I will. McCain is the only one who can lead our country. Go McCain! Go Palin! We know McCain but we don’t know Obama/who?
Great, that blubbering idiot couldn’t name two Supreme Court cases or one newspaper, but she gets to decide “who the bad guys are.” Hello WWIII.
Sarah Palin does not say anything of substance, so there’s no reason to respond.
Sarah Palin does not say anything of substance, so there’s no need for a response.
There’s no way Americans will fall for such simplistic twaddle.
Sarah Palin is as plastic as they come, honest, who wants a women like her in office? It’s women like her that give politics a bad name. Poor McCain, had no idea what the hell he was doing, when he selected Palin as his pick. Nobody wants has been named as an “abuser” of power. Lipstick pig was the correct name associated with her.
title says it all…..
There’s surely no way that Americans could fall for such simplistic twaddle.
“Bad Guys vs. Good Guys” …. The world is only that simple for those with that sort of simple frame of reference …. so it goes!
I have a chant for Sarah: Mindless, Baby, Mindless!
For the numb skulls out there - Bush, Phil Graham, & Alan Greenspan led us into deregulation to the point where there was not regulation..
as always you need some oversight and strong regulation in order to have good quality and measurable growth.
The Bush administration is no different than the McCain administration - Its the same damm people looking the same dam interests - Greed, greed, down right greed.
Most republican voters are not wealthy, though most wealthy will vote republican, why because it benefits them, not YOU!
Palin is not an insider, she is definitely TOO FAR out of what we need.
Dear friends, if you morals or ethics that sway you, then stick to them.
Bush did not, nor did his Neo Conservatives, nor did his lobbyists - they have no ethics.
And today is your proof of 8 years past - the worst recession since 1930’s is upon us.
Well, you may be a winner and make a mill a year, ok whats new.
I
