Palin Cries Socialism

Palin inspires an awful lot of hate. This is the same coded language for the McCain Palin choir. Is she appealing to anyone new? Liberal, socialism, communist, terrorist, Muslim, it's all part of the same strategy to cast Obama as unAmerican and someone who would do you harm:
CNN: It’s not uncommon to hear Democrats accused of socialism at Republican campaign events. It's less common to hear it directly from a Republican candidate — let alone the party's vice presidential nominee.

At a Sarah Palin rally in Richmond on Monday, for instance, two John McCain supporters held up a large white banner reading: “Obama is a Socialist/Marxist.” Shouts of “Socialist!” and “Communist!” often emanate from GOP crowds when McCain and Palin speak of Obama’s tax plans.

And on Friday, Palin herself seemed to make the same charge against Obama’s plans to raise taxes on the wealthy.
Has there ever been anyone more unfit for the office she's running for? 
Here's another sign of desperation from the McCain camp:
Swamp: MIAMI - At a packed rally at Florida International University in Miami, Cindy McCain repeated one of her most controversial lines this afternoon. "And yes," she told the screaming, pom-pom waving crowd. "I have always been proud of my country."

The line is a reference to something Michelle Obama said during the primaries. "For the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback," said Obama, taking heat for the remark.
