Darn, another poster chided me for not proof reading my posts. I meant to write, "Growing list of Obama's anti-terrorist associates!" Sorry.
But now that I have your attention, if one is going discuss Obama's associations regardless of how tangential or ephemeral they may have been, then surely we have to look at those who are actually his policy advisors. And, just for the sake of argument, I'm more than willing to throw Ayers, Dohrn, Wright (and I'll even throw in a Farrakhan to boot) without reservation or caveat on the scales and let's see how it balances out.
My list of radical terrorist lovers:
Former Amb. Jeffrey Bader, "President Clinton’s National Security Council Asia specialist and now head of Brookings’s China center, national security adviser"
Mark Brzezinski, "President Clinton’s National Security Council Southeast Europe specialist and now a partner at law firm McGuireWoods, national security adviser"
Zbigniew Brzezinski, "President Carter’s national security adviser and now a Center for Strategic and International Studies counselor and trustee and frequent guest on PBS’s NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, foreign policy adviser"
Richard A. Clarke, "President Clinton and President George W. Bush’s counterterrorism czar and now head of Good Harbor Consulting and an ABC News contributor, sometimes Obama adviser"
Gregory B. Craig, "State Department director of policy planning under President Clinton and now a partner at law firm Williams & Connolly, foreign policy adviser"
Roger W. Cressey, "former National Security Council counterterrorism staffer and now Good Harbor Consulting president and NBC News consultant, has advised Obama but says not exclusive"
Ivo H. Daalder, "National Security Council director for European affairs during President Clinton’s administration and now a Brookings senior fellow, foreign policy adviser"
Richard Danzig, "President Clinton’s Navy secretary and now a Center for Strategic and International Analysis fellow, national security adviser"
Philip H. Gordon, "President Clinton’s National Security Council staffer for Europe and now a Brookings senior fellow, national security adviser"
Maj. Gen. J. (Jonathan) Scott Gration, "a 32-year Air Force veteran and now CEO of Africa anti-poverty effort Millennium Villages, national security adviser and surrogate"
Lawrence J. Korb, "assistant secretary of defense from 1981-1985 and now a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, informal foreign policy adviser"
W. Anthony Lake, "President Clinton’s national security adviser and now a professor at Georgetown’s school of foreign service, foreign policy adviser"

Susan E. Rice, "President Clinton’s Africa specialist at the State Department and National Security Council and now a Brookings senior fellow, foreign policy adviser"
Bruce O. Riedel, "former CIA officer and National Security Council staffer for Near East and Asian affairs and now a Brookings senior fellow, national security adviser"
Dennis B. Ross, "President Clinton’s Middle East negotiator and now a Washington Institute for Near East Policy fellow, Middle East adviser"
Sarah Sewall, "deputy assistant secretary of defense for peacekeeping and humanitarian assistance during President Clinton’s administration and now director of Harvard’s Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, national security adviser"
Daniel B. Shapiro, "National Security Council director for legislative affairs during President Clinton’s administration and now a lobbyist with Timmons & Company, Middle East adviser"
Mona Sutphen, "former aide to President Clinton’s National Security adviser Samuel R. Berger and to United Nations ambassador Bill Richardson and now managing director of business consultancy Stonebridge, national security adviser"
Do you not now see how utterly ridiculous all of this Ayer's nonsense is? Don't answer, I already know and you do as well. The whole point is to distract, to play he politics of personal destruction that John McCain once upon a time denounced.
McCain may being willing to lose an election rather than lose a way, but he is more than willing to lose his self-respect and all of his principles to win the Presidency.
But...but..but....but now that Sean Hannity has exposed Obama as the radical, terrorist loving thug that he is, I'm sure all of those people will see the light and step down as his advisors, don't you think????
Then when we are being attacked, he will require my children and your children to be drafted to protect our country.
