Edit: Bravo on linking us to an article from a right-wing rag. Opinion articles suck ass anyway.

When you can't address the content, attack the source. There are dozens of sources for this; I selected the one that provides the most information in one place (although it doesn't cover everything), but if you don't trust it, you can easily confirm the truth of his connections to these people from other sources.

Post all you want about Palin, but to focus on the other side's vice presidential candidate while tolerating Obama's ties to racists, socialists, communists, criminals, and unrepentant former domestic terrorists seems silly to me.

This is starting to get a little annoying...

Meh.

OH! Since i saw this post on BWhacks i will vote for McCain! Thanks for the enlightenment!

I don't know how a post like that belongs in serious discussion.

Interesting - according to CNN, there is no evidence to support a long term friendly relationship between Bill Ayers and Barack Obama

CNN admits that Obama isn't being truthful about the relationship. CNN admits that Obama's political coming out party was hosted by Ayers and his wife (a successful terrorist in her own right, having made it onto the FBI's top ten most wanted list, and who is famously quoted praising the Manson murders: "Dig it! First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork into the victim's stomach! Wild!") in the Ayers' home. CNN admits that Ayers got Obama his chairmanship on the CAC (an organization founded by Ayers). CNN admits that their relationship is longer and more involved than a tangential one based on both being on the board of a foundation together. These are the facts. CNN's simultaneous, contradictory analysis that there is not a long term friendly relationship (nice double-qualifier) between the two men is in stark contrast with the facts they have admitted to.

CNN didn't even mention that the Obama campaign's claim that Ayers' and Obama's children go to school together is a lie - Ayers' children are 28 and 30. CNN didn't mention that Obama and Ayers used their positions on the board of the Woods Foundation to funnel money to Jeremiah Wright and to other organizations like the Arab American Action Network (whose founder advocates attacks on Israel). CNN didn't mention that they did the same thing from their positions as founder and chairman of the CAC. CNN didn't mention that Obama only cut off telephone and email contact with Ayers in 2005, when he was stepping onto the national scene where the level of scrutiny would be higher.

Bringing up Jeremiah Wright again is clearly an asinine act of desperation; there was 5 straight months of it in the mainstream "liberal" media and he still won the primary, it's clear no one cares.

No one cares because Obama was allowed to to get away with claiming that he sat in Wright's church for twenty years, put his children through those sermons, was married there, had his children baptized there, [and funneled money to Wright from his positions on the Woods Foundation and the CAC with Ayers,] and NEVER ONCE HEARD WRIGHT MAKE HIS RADICAL RACIST STATEMENTS. Nobody cares because the media used its position as the middleman between people and information to make sure that they don't care.

And personally, I would rather vote for a politician who associates with people who fight for what they believe in than some thieving corporate whore.

I find your description of violent socialists, communist party members, racists, criminal slumlords, and former domestic terrorists as "people who fight for what they believe in" interesting.
