----------------------------------------------------

Finally tonight, the Campaign Comment, and the real danger when you run a 
presidential candidate who thinks he's Joe six-pack the Plumber, and a 
Vice Presidential candidate who thinks she's Huey Long.

It's not that the rhetoric in a desperate flailing last week on the stump 
can get hyperbolic and dangerous. It's that each person on that campaign 
hears some of that giddying hyperbolic and dangerous rhetoric and tries to 
top it.
 
This has ended up, as it usually does, with one of the desperate 
candidates going so far to the right that they meet themselves coming back 
in the other direction.

That'd be you, Gov. Palin. You've finally done it. You've accused Obama of 
doing something wrong, of being something evil, something you boasted of 
doing, and being, yourself, just two months ago.

You try to figure out what this might have been, while I go back and talk 
to those good people over there. The Republicans called Obama a neophyte 
and then they picked a V.P. nominee with a tenth of Obama's experience.

The Republicans called Obama a celebrity and then they bought that nominee 
$150,000 in designer clothes. The Republicans called Obama a terrorist 
sympathizer and then McCain said he was proud to be a friend of Gordon 
Liddy.

It's like they've been unknowingly endowed with ESP and have been telling 
their own futures. And now the GOP has selected its last drum-thump for 
the remainder of the campaign although they said that about the last 
17 "last drum-thumps."Obama is a socialist!

Missouri Congressman Todd Akin, speaking near St. Louis:

"This campaign in the next couple of weeks is about one thing It's a 
referendum on socialism."

Arizona Sen. John McCain, who is apparently still running for President, 
at Dayton Ohio yesterday:

"Barack the Redistributor.”

Then he realized that sounded like an auto part, so, John McCain at 
Pottsville, Pennsylvania, later yesterday:

"Sen. Obama is running to be Redistributionist in Chief.”

No, no, go back to the first one.
 
Nobody you're talking to, even understands what socialism means, Senator.

"Re-dis-tri-bu-shun-ist"is six syllables, and it sounds more like he's 
recycling newspapers or something. Go simpler, like Michelle Bachmann's 
only rival for "least stable member of the House of Representatives:" 
Steve King, R-Iowa, 5th District and 17th Century.

Warming up a crowd at a high school in Sioux City, for Gov. Palin on 
Saturday, King, who is amazingly still let out of the house each day 
without adult supervision, said of the Obama candidacy:

"When you take a lurch to the left you end up in a totalitarian 
dictatorship.”

"There is no freedom to the left. It's always to our side of the aisle.”

"We choose freedom and liberty.”

Presumably that's why the Congressman's party was good enough to torture 
prisoners, eavesdrop on Americans, suspend Habeas Corpus, demonize 
dissent, pay news organizations to run favorable stories, and generally 
come as close to a totalitarian dictatorship as any American president 
ever has.

To choose freedom and liberty. For Congressman King and invited guests. 
Not for the country. Can you tell I'm stalling?

I'm trying to give Gov. Palin out there, a couple more seconds to figure 
out how she managed to get herself, as Shakespeare wrote of people 
destroyed by their own evil plans, "hoist with her own petard.”

Got it yet, Gov?

Okay, you remember Sen. Obama telling J.T. Plumber that it would help the 
country to "share the wealth”—a sentiment with which anybody not receiving 
$150,000 in free clothes would probably agree?

So you went off in Des Moines, remember this?

"See, under a big government, more tax agenda, what you thought was yours 
would really start belonging to somebody else, to everybody else. If you 
thought your income, your property, your inventory, your investments were, 
were yours, they would really collectively belong to everybody. Higher 
taxes, more government, misusing the power to tax leads to government 
moving into the role of some believing that government then has to take 
care of us. And government kind of moving into the role as the other half 
of our family, making decisions for us. Now, they do this in other 
countries where the people are not free."

So Gov., Obama's not just a socialist? Not just a re-distributionist re-
distributor? Maybe not just a totalitarian? Maybe not just a dictator, he 
may be a communist?

To paraphrase you in Des Moines, Governor, Obama wants to set up, unlike 
other candidates, collectively owning the resources. By sharing that 
wealth and those resources. Collectivist sharing' the wealth socialist 
communism, I'd say.

And still none of that sounds familiar to you, Governor?

"And Alaska - we're set up, unlike other states in the union, where it's 
collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when 
the development of these resources occurs."

Who said that, Governor?

Who was the collectivist share-the-wealther, who was boasting to the 
reporter visiting from "The New Yorker Magazine,"of having been able to 
send a check for $1,200 to every man, woman and child in the state since, 
quote "Alaska is sometimes described as America's socialist state, because 
of its collective ownership of resources?”

Why, you said that, Governor! You're a share-the-wealth, collectivist, 
Almost-Socialist-Governor, Governor! Who also believes that income, 
property, inventory and investments, collectively belonging to everybody 
else, leads to a misuse of power, and government making decisions for us, 
turning countries into places where the people are not free.

Places like,  Sarah Palin's America! Governor, all sorts of choice words 
apply here: hypocrite, double-talker, snake-oil seller, socialist. But let 
me stick with just one, with which to bid you goodbye. You, governor, are 
a fraud.
