Biden: Palin’s attacks ‘malarkey’ By ANDY BARR

Sen. Joe Biden said Wednesday that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has gone “way too far” in her attacks against Barack Obama.

“It's just malarkey, flat malarkey,” Biden said on CBS’s “Early Show” of Palin’s attacks linking Barack Obama to former 1960’s radical William Ayers.

“You know, the idea here that somehow these guys are, once again, injecting fear and loathing into this campaign I think is mildly dangerous,” Biden added. “I mean, here you have out there these kinds of, you know, incitements out there — a guy introducing Barack using his middle name as if it's some epitaph or something. This is over the top.”

On ABC’s “Good Morning America” the Democratic vice presidential candidate said that since Palin announced that the “heels are on, the gloves are off” she has crossed the line at her rallies and is encouraging supporters who Biden believes are going “overboard.”

“I think it goes way too far,” Biden said. “Look, this really is a case where when you don't have anything to talk about, attack. And it gets really over the edge.”

“I mean, some of the stuff she's saying about Barack Obama and the stuff that people are yelling from the crowd, if she hears it, she should be at least saying, whoa, whoa, whoa; that's overboard. I mean, you know, this is — this is volatile stuff. And it's — I just — I felt we were kind of beyond this place that it seems to be going.”

None of that made much sense. I especially liked the "mildly dangerous" line

I just loved that he called it malarkey. It's such a grandpa word.

"Look, this really is a case where when you don't have anything to talk about, attack."


That's the only line that matters to me. I've said it before and I'll say it again, tell my why I should vote FOR you. I've heard very little from the McCain/Palin ticket of why they're the better choice. They're bringing up old news that got hashed out back in January and acting like it's supposed to scare me away from Obama. If your campaign platform is that you're the lesser of two evils, then you're not earning my vote.


My dad uses "malarkey" fairly regularly. It's kind of a weird word. Now, I'm gonna have to look it up and find the genesis of it.

"Uh, I, I just have to rely on the good judgment of the voters not to buy into these negative attack ads. Sooner or later, people are going to figure out if all you run is negative attack ads you don't have much of a vision for the future or you're not ready to articulate it" - John McCain on Feb 21.

Great find on that quote, Sully. His own campaign, in his own words. Classic.
