Why is s. palin claiming that Obama & Biden attacked her family when in fact, both men have issued statements?

Question

making it very clear that her family is off limits?

She's soliciting for funds by claiming that Obama and Biden attacked her family. Why is she using her family in such a manner?

Answer 1

From your source, smarty pants:

Obama/Biden Democrats have been vicious in their attacks directed toward me, my family and John McCain. The misinformation and flat-out lies must be corrected."

MSNBC is twisting her words around.  She did NOT say Obama and Biden were attacking her, she said Obama/Biden Democrats.  There are Democrats who support McCain/Palin.  Those supporters, of course, aren't an issue.  The ones who are running these vicious attacks are SUPPORTERS of Obama/Biden.

My God, I love how Dems think we Repubs are stupid enough not to see through their word-twisting.  You've gotta be freeking kidding me! LOL.

Shauna--you apparently don't know the symbol of YOUR party is the jackass...not Palin's.  So, your reference to her being a donkey is flawed.

Answer 2

cause that is the gop way be hypocritical.  you cant use our children against us.  but we can exploit them as much as we want.  did you see the poor baby last night being passed arround like a bong at woodstock.  

Answer 3

Because Karl Rove told her to.

The GOP is behind all the emails disparaging Gov Palin.

They are playing the victim to win support from the gullible.

And it is working.

Bush's guy wrote her speech last night also.

"Change and reform"?

From what?

The last 8 Republican years?

Not if you are using the same players.

What is so reprehensible about this whole thing is that John McCain allowed them to use Palin's daughter for political gain.

Answer 4

Fox is the only channel still talking about her family.  The Dem candidates have enough class to know when a topic is out of bounds.  It must have really confounded the Reps because they really wanted to blame it on them.

Answer 5

Please understand that Palin did not write her speech.  She only mouthed and very well at that, what was written for her.  She didn't even know beforehand what either of them said because she was too busy being prepted and getting into practice.

Answer 6

Because she is whining and the Repubs are praising her like she is the virgin Mary.  

Answer 7

She will use anything she can to further h**r publicity and power; this woman is off the rails and very few can see her for what she is, a truly dangerous entity for the USA in general, if, God forbid, grandpa McCain gets in, let's pray his health holds out because this woman represents a "Clear and present danger" to very man woman and child in the USA>

Answer 8

Silly Liberal, its there serogates and  opratives in the media that have trashed and slandered her

Answer 9

Neither Obama or Biden made any harsh statements against Palin's daughter's pregnancy. They both made it very clear that family especially children were completely off limits. They just want to try to use that to their advantage.  

Answer 10

It is not so and if she is saying that after the media has plastered it everywhere, she is a liar.  LIAR

Answer 11

Probably because he is having his minions doing it for him.

One group is the MSM, do you seriously not believe the media is in the tank for obama?

Answer 12

Wow, I can't imagine socialist democrats speaking out both sides of the mouths...

I mean, that just doesn't happen.

Answer 13

Because she's a  attention w***e who knows how to manipulate people, and from that speech, she already has quite the record of lying.

Answer 14

It's not surprising and I'm sure she'll continue until she can't anymore.

Answer 15

First of all, GOD is not a democrat, and it is offensive to say so.

Second, a link to MSNBC, given their recent track record, is not considered reliable as a source to reasonable people.

Finally, Obama and Biden have not been attacking her family, but they both refuse to go after the scumbags at MSNBC, MoveOn.org, and the DailyKos who are.  This is probably because it is all about the money and these folks are providing them with lots of free cash and favorable publicity.  If they really believed that Sarah Palin's family was out of bounds, they'd go after the smear mongers, just like how John McCain went after Bill Cunningham when he started dropping 'H-bombs' when introducing the candidate to a crowd.

Answer 16

Because now the world knows she is a terrible mother who speaks about "just say no to s*x," but apparently her daughter wasn't listening.  

Answer 17

Hey ball buster, why is it ya'll think Obama is freaking Jesus incarnate?

Answer 18

someone has to be the victim right?

Answer 19

Most Republicans are liars and crooks. Thats why America is in this situation today.

Answer 20

Because she is smart enough to know who's behind it all...passive aggressive Obama and milque toast Biden...

Answer 21

NEVER ONCE DID SHE USE EITHER ONE OF THEIR NAMES IN HER SPEECH - CHECK THE TRANSCRIPT... THE LINK (ARTICLE) YOU REFER TO NEVER CLAIMED THAT EITHER OBAMA OR BIDEN PERSONALLY ATTACKED HER FAMILY - READ BEFORE YOU POST -

YOUR LINK SAYS:

"Unfortunately, as you've seen this week, (KEY POINT) the Obama/Biden "Democrats" have been vicious in their attacks directed toward me, my family and John McCain. The misinformation and flat-out lies must be corrected."

THIS MEANS THE PEOPLE SUPPORTING THE OBAMA AND BIDEN TICKET - NOT OBAMA AND BIDEN THEMSELVES - VERY BIG DIFFERENCE BUT SO LONG AS THE TRUTH CAN BE TWISTED TO FIT YOUR ARGUMENT WHAT DOES IT MATTER ANYWAY - RIGHT?

Answer 22

Politics as usual for the GOP.  Some few Christian fundamentalists on here use the same tactic, "We're in the right, we're in control, we speak for the majority; and why is everybody picking on us all the time?  Wah!  Wah!"

Answer 23

What else are you going to do when nobody on the plant knows who you are and you are 2 months away from the election.  



As an Obama supporter I really feel that she presented herself well in her speech but the fact is that:

1. Her experience is zero.

2. She has a crisis in her home, yes it happens all over the country but that doesn't make it OK

3. Can she be a good VP/P with 5 kids? Probably not. Yes it's a double standard but that is life.

Lastly, she is attractive and she is a woman. That's what she is running on.  

Hilary should be insulted.

Answer 24

Now, we know that she can't be trusted. She can spin so much lies. I don't know why people believe this woman. Obama has been so nice to her and yet this is what she does in return.  

Answer 25

She said the Obama/Biden DEMOCRATS not specifically them.... man liberals need to learn reading comprehension apparently..

Answer 26

First off MSNBC is one step from Kool-Aid drinkers. Read the article CLOSELY....it says " Obama/Biden ***Democrats*** have been vicious" attacking Palin, not the two candidates themselves.

I think that's clear, don't you?

Answer 27

He has his operatives doing his dirty work.  And then Obama plays dumb.  Just as he did when his crazy church was exposed.

Answer 28

ok i have searched and searched and other than that one article it isnt reported anywhere else. and i do think that some other news reporters would be picking up on this if it were true.
