“1) I don't listen to Farrakhan or care what he has to say.”
However for sure you paid attention to what Sara Palin’s Pastor said.
2) "….Are you suggesting that Ayers is still up to these things? Once again, nobody is denying his involvement.
For sure he has not repented. So is he? That is the point. He has not repudiated those acts.
3) "……. Are you saying that this is not what Ayers has become. One more time; the interview was about today, not 35/40 years ago. The 60's are OVER.
Has he become a “distinguished professor”? Like the murder of babies has become a ‘choice’? Most definitely the degradation of America, bail out and everything are the result of the lack of principles, of ethics, of everything because after all, if it is all right for a mother to kill her babies what could possibly be wrong?
The interview was about today? A person could be disengaged from a past that the person has not repudiated!
4) "….. So, by your logic, McCain is a terrorist (Contras, G. Gordon Liddy) or a crook (Keating 5) and Palin is a secessionist (pals around with/sleeps in same bed with one). So, what's your point? Guilt-by-association is a slippery slope.
McCain and Palin were extensively discussed by the media. Obama was not.
5) "…. - Apparently not. Did you catch the election results?
Then you are saying that because Obama was elected then his associations were not questionable? Then would you agree that because Bush was re-elected the liberals have done wrong criticizing him for the Iraq invasion?
