I'm Shocked, SHOCKED, to find that there is gambling in this establishment...

One question for those deeply miffed at the attacks Palin is leveling at Obama right now: how many questionable associations does Obama get to pass off before you start re-examining your assumptions about his discernment and ideas?

The really laughable thing is the delay on this outrage. These facts have been talked about for literally months. They've been discussed almost non-stop on talk-radio, and occasionally in the mainstream press. It has only been through the willful, self-inflicted blinding by the Obama-R-US press that this hasn't been talked about more. It has been something of a miracle that it hasn't been MORe of an issue until now. It's the "October Surprise" that isn't a surprise...its been there the whole time, the Obamites just wanted to ignore it.

Now, instead of either having Clinton as a candidate, or having dealt with it and moved past it, Obama, having NEVER been really vetted, is having to explain why he was comfortable having so many anti-American associations...why he is comfortable befriending rascists...why he is fine with being supported by unrepentant domestic terrorists...

But no...Bad Palin! Bad McCain! They're not nice!

I would say that it is sad to see the critics of Palin and McCain resort to name calling and stabs at their intelligence...except that they have been calling them names and telling us they are stupid ever since Palin was added to the ticket. No substantial critique...just insults. Too stupid to bother with, I suppose. That's the way to heighten the debate in the country.

4 weeks left...and tighter than ever...

**Update**

Hugh Hewitt has been following this story for months now...today brings more "malicious rumours" from the "unbalanced McCain smear campaign..."

Come on now--these associations aren't good. Ayers is an unrepentant terrorist who launched Obama's political career and served on a board with him. Its a pretty serious liability, and Obama should denounce those actions and Ayer's unrepentance.

No, they're not good, and Obama has denounced Ayers actions with Weather Underground. However, if Obama disavows them, so should every other politician, both conservative and liberal, who's worked with Ayers on school reform. That's a heck of a lot of people, some Republican party stars included.
