More of the same old rubbish, smear politics from Palin.

BBC NEWS | Americas | Palin makes Obama terrorist claim

One thing I noticed from the two debates so far, and closely checking various 'fact-checkers' afterwards, was that the Republicans far more often than the Democrats resorted to lying. In fact it's hard to isolate a single case where Obama or Biden said anything untrue that couldn't be put down to a small inaccuracy (e.g. Biden said McCain said such-and-such "as early as December" when actually it turns out he said it in November). McCain and Palin on the other hand seem quite happy to just outright lie (McCain more often than Palin, but perhaps one can put that down to senility/dementia setting in).

Personally I find it to be a pretty sad approach to politics, whether its candidates lying, or the party using smear-type advertising. And it speaks volumes about both integrity and the substance of their campaign/policies.
