Obama's Betrayed Message
by Charles Krauthammer
Newsmax.com – Intelligence Official: Obama Would Endanger Us (http://www.newsmax.com/kessler/obama_intelligence_danger/2008/10/16/141080.html - broken link)

WASHINGTON -- Let me get this straight. A couple of agitated yahoos in a rally of thousands yell something offensive and incendiary, and John McCain and Sarah Palin are not just guilty by association -- with total strangers, mind you -- but worse: guilty according to The New York Times of "race-baiting and xenophobia."

But should you bring up Barack Obama's real associations -- 20 years with Jeremiah Wright, working on two foundations and distributing money with William Ayers, citing the raving Michael Pfleger as one who helps him keep his moral compass (Chicago Sun-Times, April 2004) and the long-standing relationship with the left-wing vote-fraud specialist ACORN -- you have crossed the line into illegitimate guilt by association. Moreover, it is tinged with racism.

The fact that, when John McCain actually heard one of those nasty things said about Obama, he incurred the boos of his own crowd by insisting that Obama is "a decent person that you do not have to be scared (of) as president" makes no difference. It surely did not stop John Lewis from comparing McCain to George Wallace.

Wow, can you please keep all your ignorant, negative, Neo-Con, B.S. in one Thread?

Do we really need thirty post about paranoid B.S. from somebody who still supports the party that put this country in one of the worst position it was ever in?

Palin and McCain have a responsibility at their rallys to NOT incite hatred and to attempt to stop it when they hear rumblings in the audience.

McCain did a fine job of that last Friday. When Palin was faced with sheer hatred being spewed at her rallys she grinned and basked in it. She is vile.

The decent man we knew in years past finally surfaced - briefly - last week, and I was thankful that McCain said what he did.

I agree - Palin is vile.
