Obama camp asks: What part of the country isn’t pro-America?
from WaPo: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/10/17/to_avoid_being_depressed_palin.html


Palin made a point of mentioning that she loved to visit the "pro-America" areas of the country, of which North Carolina is one. No word on which states she views as unpatriotic.

An obvious candidate might be California -- a state Palin has campaigned in -- because, as she told the audience, she and McCain have encountered problems enlisting famous performers in their cause.

"In fact, we were on the bus today, we were making a list of who are some celebrity singers who could come out and help us and gosh, for the life of us, the pickins were slim there," she said. "Who's quasi-conservative out there in the celebrity land?"

Palin proceeded to then thank country singers Hank Williams Jr. and Lee Greenwood for appearing on her behalf: Greenwood had belted out "God Bless the USA" at her rally in Bangor, Me., yesterday morning, while Williams sang his "McCain-Palin Tradition" tune in the afternoon in Elon, N.C.

Not surprisingly, the never-misses-a-beat Obama team is seeking a clarification. The subject line of an e-mail sent out by Obama spokesman Bill Burton reads: "Just asking: What part of the country isn't pro-America?"

8. I'm so so glad Obama's campaign staff stay on top of this crap
It's great to finally have a voice answering the RW hate-mongers and swatting them down. This is the perfect example. Who the HELL does Palin think she is, suggesting that there's ANY part of America that isn't pro-America?

Thank you, Obama Campaign folks!
