Well, it's difficult to determine Palin's true beliefs because she refuses to answer questions. It makes people wonder what she's hiding. That's scary.
Wow now THAT is some SERIOUS IRONY there Saunterelle.

When and where did B.H. Obama first meet Bill Ayers?
Is it coincidence or significant that both Columbia College student Barack Obama (Class 1983) and Columbia Teacher’s College doctoral student Bill Ayers were in New York City in the same time frame of the early 1980s, and that they both attended wool-gathering events about socialism at the Cooper Union in the early 1980s?
And that Mr. Obama, after two indifferent post-college years working for a trade newsletter in New York, left for Chicago in 1985, while Mr. Ayers followed his wife to Chicago after receiving his doctorate at Teachers College in 1987?
Is it coincidence or significant that Barack Obama traveled to Chicago to work for Mike Kruglik in a Saul Alinsky-inspired organization, Developing Communities Project, because of a $12,000 grant from the Chicago-based Woods Fund?
Is it significant that a member of the Woods board at the time was Ken Rolling, who would later serve as the executive director of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) grant alongside Mr. Ayers and Mr. Obama?
Is it coincidence or significant that Bernardine Dohrn (left, with Bill Ayers, 1981), after serving seven months in jail on a felony for refusing to cooperate with the 1981 Brinks robbery investigation, was employed from 1984-1988 at the prominent Chicago law firm, Sidley Austin, where both Michelle Robinson in 1988 and Barack Obama in 1989 would serve as summer interns, and where Barack Obama met his future wife?
Is it coincidence or significant that Bernardine Dohrn supervised the interns at Sidley Austin and that this duty passed to Michelle Robinson after Bernardine Dohrn left to an associate professorship at Northwestern University?
Is it coincidence or significant that Bill Ayers’s father Tom Ayers (1915-2007) was a major client of Sidley Austin and long a significant proponent of progressive causes in Chicago?
Is it coincidence or significant that Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn were known to be part of a Hyde Park support group for Mayor Harold Washington, and that this group included other prominent South Siders such as the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Father William Pfleger?
Is it coincidence or significant that Barack Obama has written that he was attracted to Chicago in 1985 because of the achievement of Harold Washington?
Is it coincidence or significant that, after graduating Harvard Law School in 1991, Barack Obama was offered his first law job in 1993 by Judson Miner, of Davis Miner Galand, who was a 1967 University of Chicago Law School classmate of Bernardine Dohrn?
Is it coincidence or signficant that Bill Ayers began his well-publicized pursuit of the $49.2 million Chicago Annenberg Challenge Grant with a sizeable grant from the Joyce Foundation in 1993-1994, and that the junior lawyer Barack Obama was named to the Joyce Foundation board in November 1994 by Joyce Foundation (since 1992) President Deborah Leff?
Is it coincidence or significant that Deborah Leff asserts that she alone suggested Barack Obama as chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge grant board, beginning March 1995 — despite the puzzling fact that Barack Obama had no education or teaching experience and, then 33, was to serve at the head of a board that included two university presidents?
Is it coincidence or significant that a major recipient in the first year of CAC grants was a radical education enterprise headed by Bill Ayers and his University of Illinois education colleague, the self-proclaimed revolutionary communist Professor Mike Klonsky?
Is it coincidence or significant that not only was Mr. Obama’s first introduction as a political candidate made in the Hyde Park home of Mr. Ayers and Ms. Dohrn, but also, while Mr. Obama and Mr. Ayers continued to serve on the CAC together, they participated in public policy panels together?
Is it coincidence or significant that Mr. Obama and Mr. Ayers served on the Woods Fund board together 1999, 2000, 2001, and through mid-December 2002, during which time they together approved grants to many progressive enterprises, including Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity Church and a Chicago organization closely associated with the prominent radical Palestinian booster and confrontational Professor Rashid Khalidi, then of the University of Chicago and now of Columbia University?
Is is coincidence or significant that there is no public record of the politician Barack Obama rebuking the author Bill Ayers for his unacceptable remark, published in the New York Times on September 11, 2001, promoting Mr. Ayers’s book, “Fugitive Days” that “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.”?
Is it coincidence or significant that Barack Obama and his spokespersons have changed the explanations about the nature of the relationship between Mr. Ayers and Mr. Obama several times since the fact of it was first introduced to the presidential campaign this year?
In February, campaign strategist David Axelrod said the men knew each other because their children attended the same private school Right Ayers GROWN Children and Obamas tikes go to school together
In April, Mr. Obama, when asked during the Philadelphia debate by George Stephanopoulos, said that Ayers was a “guy who lived in the neighborhood” and a “professor of English”strange evasion given the facts of their work together on CAC and Woods.
Finally, is it coincidence or significant that despite all the heated attention that the Ayers-Dohrn-Obama acquaintanceship has attracted at least since February that Mr. Ayers has refused to end the questions?
Why did you work with, get appropriations for, and enter into a land deal with corrupt felon and slumlord Tony Rezko, now awaiting sentencing?
Did Obama Or His Office Do Favors For Tony Rezko?
Did Obama Know That Tony Rezko Was Saving Him $300,000 On The Purchase Of His Home?
Could Obama Have Afforded His Home Without Rezko's Help?
Did Obama Meet Nadhmi Auchi And Give Him A Toast?
Did Obama Or His Staff Write A Letter To The State Department On Auchi's Behalf?
Has Obama Removed All Rezko Related Funds From His Campaign Coffers As New Rezko Related Donors Have Come To Light?
Will Obama ever release his FULL campaign contibutor list, in light of the fact he's receiving so many Non-Verifiable Foreign donations?
Are you aware that you could not get the security clearance required for a federal employee because of your associations?
How come you've been so closely associated with ACORN over so many years in so many ways?
Is it not true that you DID in FACT lead training seminars for ACORN?
You claimed to be working with the Democrats on the recent rescue package. At least you said you'd be on the phone when and if they needed you. Why did you let the Democratic majority put into one of the versions of the rescue plan, a slush fund that could be used by ACORN?
Why are you so closely associated with this group that it is well known for its work involving voting fraud? And what does that say about your Democratic Party and its attempt to create a slush fund for this well-known perpetrator of voter fraud?
How come your $800,000 payment to ACORN did not show up on your federal election contribution reporting forms?
Why, even to this day, have you never criticized ACORN?
What does your inability to level with the American people on these associations say about your honesty and trustworthiness...and your values and character?
What about Rev. Wright? How could you sit in the pews at Rev. Jeremiah "God Damn America" Wright's church for 20 years and not know that he was a racist, a bigot, and an anti-American? What does that say about your judgment? And what does your denial you knew about his anti-American sentiments say about your honesty (or your ability to perceive what is going on around you)?
What do these associations with radicals, bigots, terrorists and all the rest say about your judgment?
Why is it that you have received endorsements from Hamas, the terrorist organization; Fidel Castro, the former dictator of Cuba; Louis Farrakhan, the notorious anti-American anti-Semite who just called you the "Messiah"; and the Black Panther Party?Obama can't control his endorsements, but he can control which ones he announces on his Web site. The Black Panther endorsement was posted on his Web site
In one of your books, you admitted you sought out Marxist professors at universities. You were attracted to Rev. Wright and his Trinity Church, a bastion of Marxist black liberation theology. You have had a long association with William Ayres who rails and rants against capitalism and America. When running for the Illinois Senate, you sought out and obtained the support of the Marxist "New Party" in Chicago in 1995. You had a communist mentor when growing up. You advocate redistribution of income. You believe in big government as do all the tax and spend liberals that you swim with. Does that explain why there is a heavy touch of socialism in your worldview and in your programs?
