So Ayers and Obama serve on the same board. This will influence Obama's
policies and decisions how, exactly? As for Rezko, it's yesterday's
news, and there's *no* evidence (and I don't expect any) that any
corruption has influenced Obama.
Seems like the extremists on both sides of the political fence have
nothing better to do than to attack on the basis of guilt by
association. And before you say anything, I'm no more bothered by
McCain's association with Hagee than I am with any of Obama's.
If one of these guys could be shown to have bought a vote, or if either
of the candidates appeared to be influenced by any of these extremist
views, it would be a different story.

The Rev is intriguing and nuts at the same time. Sorta like ol' Adolf
in a way. But I still fail to see what any of this has to do with
Barack. Heaven help me if I were judged by the views of those I keep
company with.

Committed radical socialist? Come on, that's as bad as some here who
call Bush a Nazi.

If you're talking about Coulter (and I assume you are), you made me spit
my soda all over the keyboard ;-)
