The Ayers-Weatherman Terrorist Attack as It Might Have Happened
Jeff:
As usual, any attempt to criticize Obama is called “racist” a word which has been pre-empted by the left in the last two decades and re-defined to mean anyone who disagrees with the left, pretty much for any reason.
If we accurately quote Islamists that want to destroy Israel and kill all infidels, including you, we are “racist”. If we want to control our borders or preserve our culture, we are “racist”. If we want to identify who exactly all these poor credit risks are that are defaulting on all these mortgages and causing our whole economic melt-down, we are “racist”.
By extension, apparently any disagreement with Obama or examination of his background is also “racist”.
What can we call the left’s despicable behavior in sniffing the garbage cans of Sarah Palin looking for specks of dirt, “hockeymomism” or maybe “moosehunterism”? Doesn’t seem to have quite the ring to it, does it?
Here is what you can’t seem to get your head around. If McCain or Palin had extremely close associations lasting decades with the KKK (like many democrats actually have), we would reject them in a second. If they had been shaped by people they were proud to call mentors, who advocated white supremacy, or were named McVeigh, they’d be dumped by us like a hot potato. If they went out of their way to hide these associations, we’d be the first to dig into them. You see, we wouldn’t want people like that to be our leaders.
But Obama has had nearly constant immersion in a political philosophy we find abhorrent and have for a century – communism. His mentor throughout his formative teenage years, Frank Marshall Davis – a self proclaimed communist. Ayers and Dohrn, with whom he has had a 15 year CLOSE relationship with – self proclaimed communist revolutionaries (and very sick puppies, indeed). His own father – a self proclaimed communist.
Toss in his admitted spiritual guru of 20 years, a raving lunatic Black Liberation theologist. Add in a rapid rise through the worst machine politics known in this country, with dirty tricks responsible for both his Senatorial victories, and that is the background that defines who he is, and how he got to where he is now.
If this guy’s skin was white as the driven snow, we’d be raising the exact same issues about him.
