This is turning out to be a very lively topic, Hube.

I spoke to a friend of mine yesterday who had only just heard of the terorist Ayers connection. So Palin and McCain bringing this up will have an effect. Plus did you see how Joe Klein of Time Magazine is losing it. He is like a leading indicator for the MSM liberals.

AJ: A buddy of mine in Quebec (I have his blog linked in our "Other Great Blogs" section -- just look for the French name, but keep in mind his blog is mostly in French) had never heard of Ayers either, yet was beside himself about Palin -- 'cuz all his info came from lefty blogs or the MSM ... stuff that had been debunked many times over already.

I wonder if our lib buddies will answer this question honestly. Really honestly.

The excerpt from Levin is so loaded, so rife with partisan venom and rumors presented as facts, that one cannot respond fairly. Edit to make the comparisons more apt, and I'm sure someone will respond honestly.

"Good friends?" Absolutely no evidence. "Schooled in marxism?" Debunked, debunked, and debunked. Etc.

The "good friends," A Non, is probably a but much, but the "schooled in Marxism" isn't if you check out Saul Alinsky's background.

That said, we have strike one -- meaning our first person who refuses to answer the question. I knew it.

Say what now? Perhaps you have a whole group of people using a similar network of proxy servers to protect their identities, bro.

The answer is that McCain would never have gotten where he is with that sort of a track record. I sure hope that makes you happy. I aim to please.

And by the way, I must say, you folks are so furious and so desperate, you're starting to sound just like those with "Bush Derangement Syndrome," now aren't you! Ah, everyone should get a taste of that frustration at least once in their lives. After all, you chuckled inside as the left battled against the election of a man who is the lowest of the low -- a drunk driver. The media, having great disdain for the other guy and wanting a breather from the Clintons, gave a pass to this man having spent the first half of his life in a drug and alcohol-induced haze, having no desire to get a job. Shit, he didn't even have the energy to be a community organizer! And that's gotta be the lamest job ever.

But alas, he won, as was reasonable to expect
given the political climate at the time.

Well, here we are in 2008. Tables are turned. The media's giving a pass to the WRONG guy this time! And this time it's the majority, not the minority, who "don't get it." (Oh wait. It was the majority in 2000 too. Nevermind). And it's up to you, our heroes on the Right, our guiding lights, our moral compasses, to set them straight before the clock strikes November.

Have fun with the next four years, during which (if you have any sense of irony) you'll at least crack a smile as you do just what you've spent eight years accusing liberals of doing: hoping things go badly for Obama (and by extension, the nation).

As a side note, it might help your credibility if you gently rebuked your commenters when they post insanely racist stuff. Like that sub-human "woman" who linked to that YouTube pablum about how blacks are planning to rape and slaughter whites after the election.

Toronado -- surely you can provide us links to the debunkings, since as far as I can tell the comparisons are quite apt.

But let's just settle for one -- suppose McCain or Palin had been hand-picked by an unrepentant abortion clinic bomber to distribute millions of dollars in funds to ideologically compatible groups and schools. Ought that connection be an important issue or not? This conservative Republican pro-lifer thinks it ought to be -- and it would be sufficient grounds for me to cast my vote against such a candidate.

Toronado -- the lowest of the low would be a sex criminal. You Democrats elected and defended one of those to the hild.

No, A Non -- you know who you are. I don't care if you post w/a pseudonym; just don't insult my intelligence about it!

Thanks for the admission.

Now, where is this woman commenter? Let me know for I will certainly check out the link she posted and if necessary delete it if it's as you say. (There are a few comments that I may not actually check out links to.)

"sub-human"

Gee -- what would you have to say about someone who applied that term to a minority?

Nevermind. I found the comment and responded. Thanks for pointing it out, A Non.

Sub-human woman?

That is no way to refer to Sandra Bernhard!

You do realize that much of that is true, and progressives like me do point that out. the media won't talk about it because they are biasing themselves to make the candidates look even, when they clearly are not. obama has been ahead in almost every poll all year, but when do you haer about that on tv? not to mention, those polls only sample "likely voters", which is an outdated standard, because we are in a very extraordinary election.
