I have good reasons to believe that she would not be capable of giving one legitimate answer. Here is why:
- For starters, she spent over 6 years in between community colleges until she finally got her Bachelor degree in communications-journalism from the University of Idaho, graduating in 1987. It leads me to believe that she knows little about political history and philosophy, much less about Marxism.
- “…back home, she has cheered the work of a tiny party that long has pushed for a statewide vote on whether Alaska should secede from those same United States. And her husband, Todd, was a member of the party for seven years.ties with separatist group.”
- “Sarah Palin charged the state for her children to travel with her, including to events where they were not invited, and later amended expense reports to specify that they were on official business.” Click here to read full article from Yahoo News.
If that’s not closer to what “socialism” really is, I don’t know what. So, NO, she could not possibly know the correct meaning of the word.
“Spreading the wealth” as the mainstream media is now adjudicating upon Obama with a ’socialist’ tag; was something he said while being inherently honest and from the heart. It’s plain silly to consider this a valid fact to base attacks on. Having said this, Obama was conjuring the notion and the image of the “land of opportunity” that America can be at home and abroad under the correct leadership. Please read this article by latest Nobel Economic Laureate, Paul Krugam, very much in favor of Obama’s economic plan:
It’s crystal clear that McCain’s campaign is once again attempting to pull off a gimmick by using Sarah Palin as their weapon of choice. They use her as a means to an end to associate Obama with the 60’s radical, Bill Ayers. Whenever, she pronounces “socialism” referring to Obama, the so-called “association” should come to mind. It’s a ruthless and dubious tactic, which clearly adheres to the low and shameful campaign that McCain has found himself running. The McCain I knew that did reach across the isle and was, in fact, a well rounded politician is gambling his way through these elections. The shame here resides in the fact that he is counting the cards instead of playing fairly. That’s the last thing that the American people need right now, poor judgement like that.
Of course the party will not have McCain himself throw such ridiculous insinuations out in the public. They use the poor “caribou barbie” girl, the former beauty queen pageant, or the little ignorant “gotcha” or “you betcha” saying Alaskan -nobody knows- Governor do their dirty deeds for them… Shame on them!
So, why the hell is she calling Obama a socialist?
Beats me!…
