Hear, hear. Excellent work. However, there is something not being sufficiently focused on with regard to Obama’s connection with Ayers/Dohrn. That is this: think of the loss of credibility our nation will have in a war on terror, when its chief executive– nay, it’s Commander in Chief– has ties to, indeed launched his political career in the home of, a confessed and unrepentant domestic terrorist. The American people need to reflect soberly on the moral effect such an association will have on the legitimacy of our war against terrorism. If people don’t think that every terrorist state and organization in the world won’t make hay with that, they are delusional. It doesn’t even matter if Obama agrees with or condemns Ayers’ actions. The association is sufficient for the terrorists to exploit. Period. No one seems to be addressing the “why does it matter” aspect (beyond simply bad judgment). I’ve been doing my best to keep up with most of the articles on this subject through RCP, but I don’t think anyone has really driven this home. I really think this is the angle that needs to become a drum beat, and just hammered home until election day. It’s not guilt by association, it’s guilty OF association producing irreparable damage to our nation’s moral credibility in time of war against terrorist states and organizations.
