    Barack Obama has a 20-year on-going close friendship with Bill Ayers, an unrepentant terrorist who wants to make America into a marxist gulag, but Howard Bess is not afraid of that.

    Of course he's not afraid of that. No one sane is. That's because you just made up the whole "20 year ongoing close" part, as well as the bit about making American into a marxist gulag. Seriously, don't you have enough confidence in your own opinion that you can keep from making things up to defend it?

    But according to Howard Bess, it is Sarah Palin we should fear, because she tried to warn her fellow Alaskans about his book.

    Wrong, thanks for playing. No, the correct answer was not "she tried to warn people about her book," but rather "she tried to ban the book to prevent anyone from ever knowing about it." Big difference, and unfortunately our judges won't accept your answer. Vanna will give you your dunce cap to wear for the rest of the show.
