Lol, surprisingly most of the frequently posting republicans in here are actually intelligent and have plenty of facts to back up what they say. So don't say that we all "thought he was a terrorist when we heard his name." pfffftOriginally Posted by blurred visions
And on to Ayers. It is dumb to say that he did not have terroristic associations, I don't know what you all know about the Weather underground but they did bomb several government buildings and banks. And Ayers never denied any of this. Whether he was there or not, I don't know. But he endorsed that group and their actions, it's called guilt by association folks.
Does this mean Obama is a terrorist? Fuck no. But him having associations with the man is obviously going to be examined, and it should. You "Obama can do no wrong" people seem to not understand he is running for president. You guys are having a field day with troopergate where it's been shown that Palin has done nothing wrong, but whine about it when Obama's association with this man gets brought up. Presidential candidates are going to be thoroughly examined, and in this day and age where the general public is scared of terrorism OF COURSE any association with a man like Ayers will be looked in to. It's perfectly reasonable to do so. If McCain used to chill with the Unibomber I'm sure dems would be shitting bricks exposing it everywhere.
What I'm getting at is things like this should be examined, but the problem is people are going to draw unfair conclusions. I'm not going to judge Obama at all because of this, his policies alone are enough to make me dislike him. But it's just the fact is he is running for the most prestigious and symbolic political position in the entire world that means this kind of thing will be examined. It is perfectly understandable that it has been, and whatever conclusion you draw is up to you. Sorry for the rant, I couldn't stop.
