Why is the Obama team being so dirty to Palin?

Question

Oh, is it because it is politics as usual?

Answer 1

Examples please.  Is this because it's coming out that she was a member of the AIP and supported Buchanan for president?  I guess everyone should just lay off her since she's a woman and not terrible to look at, right?

It's America's right to know what she's been up to.  

Answer 2

What planet do you live on?  I really didn't know this was dirty or politics as usual:

"Let me be as clear as possible," Obama said. "I think people's families are off-limits, and people's children are especially off-limits. This shouldn't be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as governor or her potential performance as a vice president."

I think that comment is very classy of him.    

Answer 3

Excuse me, i'm on the Obama team and I have yet to hear one of my fellow democrats slander your precious vp candidate.

The only slandering that is going on is against the republican party in general--they are hypocritical.

Answer 4

The 'Obama Team'?  Are you referring to Obama's campaign?  If so, they have not been at all 'dirty' to Palin and have stated repeatedly that her family is off limits.  They will not shrink from speaking about her positions on issue and her lack of qualifications for the Vice-Presidency or Presidency.  That isn't dirty, that is just straight politics.  But Obama has been very clear that he will not tolerate personal attacks on Palin's family by anyone associated with his campaign.

Answer 5

Not "dirty", just pointing out the blatant moral hypocrisy of  a right wing fundamentlist.

Palin advocates abstinence only sexual education.

And her daughter's pregnant. Hypocrisy big time. HELLO?

Im "scared to death" that the conservatives are teaching moral relevancy to our children, as Bush and his cronies have.

Answer 6

What are you talking about? If you are referring to the Bristol pregnancy thing, and I'm only assuming because your question is completely general and says absolutely nothing, then Obama's team has nothing to do with it and he has ordered his campaign team to not make an issue of it. Did you just get out of bed?

Answer 7

The Obama team has told everyone to back off. What are you talking about. The supporters? Well given the trash many of you tried heap on Obama. You got it coming. McCain and this travesty of a VP pick? Fair game. Funny how much whining I'm hearing.

Answer 8

Its part of their post partisan new politics.  

Answer 9

Obama is the one who said that her daughter shouldn't be an issue.  How is that being dirty?

Answer 10

Because I can't handle hardcore christian fanatics

Answer 11

the "Obama team' has been nothing but nice. Voters do not represent Obama and his team....they represent themselves.

Answer 12

Please post your source saying that the "Obama Team" has been dirty to Palin?  I thought so.

Its the media and has nothing to do with the Obama team.  Geez, you people are thick.

Answer 13

Because they are scared to death of her.  Why else?  Each team has a right to pick their own candidates, but the Democrats can't say two sentences without bashing either Bush, McCain, or Palin.  It is exactly because they are scared, jealous, or they just have sour grapes.  Palin is too descent of a person and they can't stand the fact that Obama did not pick Hillery.  So you've got Biden, Hillery is yesterday and it's scaring them absolutely, silly.  It's funny to watch them try to hide it.

Answer 14

It is not the Obama team.

It is trolls like me who are entirely independent.

The only politically affiliated people attacking Palin are from her own party.

Answer 15

It is not the Obama camp... It is the far most liberal side of their party and they have very little control over their activities...

Answer 16

Source? Example? Link?

Are you sure its Obama's team?  I doubt it, considering Obama condemned even bringing up the kids.

Point you anger in another direction.

Answer 17

Yes, politics have always been dirty. Why should Palin be any different? The McCain team seems to be doing the same thing to Biden and did it to Clinton. Also, I've never seen any Palin bashing.

Answer 18

examples?????

Obama has been supportive of Palin and her daughter.

Answer 19

The Obama campaign isn't being "dirty."

Palin is being criticized as a result of the revelation she is an unfit mother. The Obama campaign had nothing to do with that.

There are serious questions about whether she was a member of a radical secessionist group--and the reports she was came from that group, not from Obama's people.

Likewise, Obama had nothing to do with media photos that show her supporting extremist Pat Buchanan Those are also from various media

Palin ws already under inestigation for ethics violations before McCAin ever named her his running mate.

The McCain campaign can whine all they like. Palin is cooking her own goos without any help from anyone.

BTW: this is a perfect example of why I've been saying for months tha tMcCain cannot win.  He--and the people he chooses to surround himself with--are corrupt.  The Dems don't have to smear him. All we need to do is  point out the facts.

Answer 20

Obama's team isn't doing it. You believe that?  Its the national media reporting the news.

Answer 21

I don't know who is doing more damage.  The conservatives or liberals.  Look what Rush Limbaugh has recently said.

“Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream.” -  Rush Limbaugh on feminists

"She was well spoken, she was articulate, genuine. You know, this is the thing. I don't want to beat a dead horse here but our women, they wear skirts. " - Rush Limbaugh on Sarah Palin's attire

"She can't take a bad picture even from the back end" - Rush Limbaugh on Sarah Palin's appearance

Answer 22

It's been Obama's MO all along.  He gets his attack dogs, oh I mean zealots, dang I mean the ultra liberal loon jobs  (Oh wait they are all the same) to do the dirty work so he can act clean and proper.  Not only is he a poor choice for president he's a coward as well.  

Just watch his cowardly bigots give me thumbs down for the truth.  

Answer 23

Obama's campaign is not being "dirty" towards Palin. He has said that family issues are not to be brought up and that if anyone in his employment do this, they will be fired.  

Answer 24

Naa, I don't think so.  McStain and his groupies was trying to be funny and made a strong statement by bringing Palin onboard, and thought it would make them look good, when it really didnt.

Answer 25

It's the "change" Obama speaks of.
