Money quote from everyone's favorite Nation of Islam leader/anti-semite:
"You are the instruments that God is gonna use to bring about universal change, and that is why Barack has captured the youth. And he has involved young people in a political process that they didn’t care anything about. That’s a sign. When the Messiah speaks, the youth will hear, and the Messiah is absolutely speaking."
Read Krauthammer today. He does the best job so far of explaining why Ayers matters. Part of the Reupblicans' problem in attacking Obama on Ayers and Wright et al. is that they've been so clumsy and ham-handed about it. They think think they can just scream "terrorist" and "crazy racist black minister" at the top of their lungs and that will show that Obama is the same.
ReplyDeleteThat tactic is obviously not sticking, and it opens up Republicans to counter-charges of bigotry and race-baiting(doesn't matter how off the mark the charges are - it drowns out the conversation and clouds the point)
Krauthamer does a very good job of showing why these associations, even if they are loose ones, show Obama to be feckless and ruthlessly cynical.
And oh yeah, if you could get the DOW to go up 1500 points, that would help too.
