Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on Sat­ur­day slammed Sen. Barack Obama’s polit­i­cal rela­tion­ship with a for­mer anti-war rad­i­cal, accus­ing him of asso­ci­at­ing “with ter­ror­ists who tar­geted their own country.”

Palin’s attack deliv­ered on the McCain campaign’s announce­ment that it would step up attacks on the Demo­c­ra­tic pres­i­den­tial can­di­date with just a month left before the Novem­ber gen­eral election.

“We see Amer­ica as the great­est force for good in this world,” Palin said at a fund-raising event in Col­orado, adding, “Our oppo­nent though, is some­one who sees Amer­ica, it seems, as being so imper­fect that he’s palling around with ter­ror­ists who would tar­get their own country.”

Is this really hap­pen­ing now? Wasn’t this more or less set­tled as “not a ter­ri­bly big deal” a while ago?

As Tim said, “What do you do when you can’t win on your own mer­its? Answer (appar­ently): Slan­der your opponent.”
