I Beg to Differ
By Roxanna Moser (10/08/08)
I read yet another column today by yet another member of the Fourth
Estate in the tank for Obama, chanting the mantra of The Left that
McCain/Palin are distracting people from the real issues by wanting
"us to talk about Barak Obama's acquaintances."
The author went on to add, "Lacking any fresh mud to sling, the
McCain people are trying to exhume guilt-by-association charges that
were exhaustively examined months ago during the primaries".
Firstly, none of Obama's associations has been exhaustively examined
by anyone on The Left. They're far too busy pretending that looking
into the matter is a distraction from the real issues.
Secondly, it's not guilt by association. It's "water seeks its own
level", "birds of a feather flock together", and "a man is known by
the company he keeps".
Obama's childhood mentor was Frank Marshall Davis, a communist. As a
community organizer, Obama followed the playbook of Saul Alinsky, a
socialist. For 20 years, Obama's mentor was a man who spewed hatred
from the pulpit. William Ayers personally selected Obama to be a
chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Obama launched his
political career at a fundraiser in the Ayers/Dohrn home. With the
exception of Alinsky, all of these people were a fixed part of
Obama's life for years, until they became inconvenient and were
jettisoned. For the author to claim that these people merely "once
crossed paths with Obama" is disingenuous in the extreme.
Obama is not running for student body president. Since his record of
legislative accomplishments is razor-thin, we have no choice but to
look elsewhere in order to take the full measure of this man who
wants to be Leader of the Free World.
Contrary to what The Left desperately wants us to believe, who Obama
associated with is not a distraction from the issues, it is an issue
all by itself. Where a man has been is a good indicator of where he
is and where he's going, especially a man who is eager to make the
world "as it should be".
