Unbelievable. The things people will tell themselves to justify absurdity.

What's absurd, is guilt by association, however tenuous.

What ever happened to you are known by the company you keep?

Because you chose ahead of time every person you were going to meet in your lifetime, every co-worker, every person who lived in your neighborhood when you moved in, every person who moved into the neighborhood after you. You exercised your judgment in extensively researching every lawyer you ever employed, every doctor you ever visited, and made your choices accordingly.

Life happens. We have all met people we would rather not have. Shoot, most of us have dated people we wished we'd never met. Obama has met influential people during his political career. Some of them weren't very nice people. I'd call them unfortunate acquaintances if it were me. I'd call them unfortunate acquaintances if it were you. Why do you think it has to mean more?

Only ONE candidate has been officially reprimanded by congress specifically for "Bad Judgment". It was McCain, during the last financial meltdown.

So yeah, it's pretty easy to dis guilt by association. Suggesting Obama has bad judgment makes about as much sense as claiming Palin is a communist because of her proximity to Russia.

Don't become a pawn in the "kitchen sink" game; try an issue related argument, and see how far that gets you.

Fine then, but look at the company McCain has kept in the past. Not pretty.

That's my reaction to the stupid "Obama is a terrorist" posts.

Hit the nail on the head.

No, it shows the diversity of views in this country and fact of the matter that NO everyone does not LOVE the government! That's basically what these radicals are against, the government!

Obama sees the diverse problems, views, wants to fix it, while Repubs choose to remain in la la land and act like the country is perfect ladee dah!

Obama, with his community organizing roots has been in the areas where the government is seen as demonic. He wants to fix it, I think because of this other (unspoken about) side that he's been witness to!

You have to know the root of the problem if you want to come up with solutions. McCain has not a clue about REAL AMERICA! The America that is diverse and in pain...
