Oh No! Obama's At It Again!

Did you hear the news? Obama is associated with another "radical professor." Today Sarah Palin accused Obama of being associated to a Professor Rashid Khalid, who is supposedly a spokesperson of the Palestine Liberation Organization. Evidence backing up this claim included Obama being sighted at a farewell party for Khalid when Khalid was leaving to join another university in 2003, Khalid being of close to the same age of Barack, and that talking monkeys brought pictures showing secret meetings between Obama and Khalid. As you can tell by the tone of sarcasm, it would appear that the standard for actual evidence has declined. The Republican offensive has turned quite nasty. Although there is no proof associating Khalid with the PLO, the point is that the Republicans are accusing Obama of everything. Obama commented on this by saying that McCain was just "calling him every name in the book."

The Obama campaign stated that Palin's remarks were "another recycled, manufactured controversy from the McCain campaign to distract voters' attention from John McCain's lockstep support for George Bush's economic policies."

The McCain campaign, when asked why the attack after 6 months of the first article about Obama's possible relation to Khalid was published, responded by saying "Because we are one week away from potentially electing Barack Obama."

As it would show, the McCain Campaign is throwing out a last minute effort to make Obama look bad. What do you think though? Do you think these last minute attack ads are swaying any undecided voters? Do you think the ads reflect more on Obama or McCain?
