ISN'T THAT GUILT BY ASSOCIATION?!?!?!??!!? HUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM??????????
Then I guess it IS perfectly alright to make Obama responsible for the friends he keeps. The only difference, one is a stranger in a crowd, the other is all cozy drinking coffee with Obama in his living room and helping him to launch his career.
Thanks for underscoring the importance of considering "birds of a feather" when voting.

I wasn't making a "guilt by association" argument.
The purpose of this thread was for me to post about the lunacy I saw and how put off I was by it.
Another purpose of this thread was to elaborate on how difficult it is to bring much needed diversity to the Republican Party when you have such idiots not openly repudiated.
However, in Wisconsin today, Sen. McCain did openly repudiate the "rudeness" of some of his supporters.
That is what was needed to happen-- the first time.
As for Sen. Obama and Ayers and others-- if these associations are brief and are over ten years old, it just seems like it's being brought up to stop him from being elected, as a smear tactic-- not as something of substance.
