Palin denies hearing anti-Obama remarks

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 (UPI) -- Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin said she has not heard any offensive comments about Democrat Barack Obama at her rallies.

In an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, the Alaska governor said if she were to hear offensive or threatening comments she would react immediately, The New York Times reported Monday.

"If I ever were to hear that standing up there at the podium with the mic, I would call them out on that, and I would tell these people, no, that's unacceptable, let's rise above that please," she said.

Palin also said she would continue to continue accusing Democratic presidential nominee Obama of "palling around with terrorists" because of his association with the former founder of the radical group the Weather Underground.

"I would say it again, I would say it again, because again, according to the information that we have, the association that he's had with Bill Ayers wasn't just one or two time sitting on a board together," Palin said. "No, there's been quite a few associations and events and meetings and discussion and e-mails and calls and to not disavow that too, I think is troubling."
