LaHood: Palin Should Stop It


CHICAGO -- A seven-term Republican Congressman from Illinois is taking issue with fellow Republican Sarah Palin, saying some of the vice presidential candidate's rallies "don't befit the office she's running for."

Republican Congressman Ray LaHood represents the 18th District: central and western Illinois, including Peoria.  He's retiring in January.

LaHood supports the McCain ticket, but doesn't like what he sees at some of the McCain-Palin rallies: When Barack Obama's name has been mentioned by Sarah Palin, there are shouts of "terrorist," and LaHood says Palin should put a stop to it.

"Look it.  This doesn't befit the office that she's running for.  And frankly, people don't like it."

Congressman LaHood says it could backfire on the Republican ticket.

He says the names that Obama is being called,  "Certainly don't reflect the character of the man."
