ParticipantThe bottom line is that the “Obama’s Shady Past” narrative was created out of the need to distract voters and candidates from discussing the real issues… Hillary tried it and failed – and now McCain has made it the centerpiece of his campaign.
In fact, McCain’s campaign manager, Rick Davis explained it all perfectly:
“John McCain tried to point out how people should be informed about Barack Obama’s background, including his relationships with domestic terrorists like William Ayers. People are going to form these judgments. It’s great fodder for us to debate every day. I think it’s fun,”
Fun!
I’m sure there will again be skeptics calling me on my lies so here’s a link.

Yes, the Rush quotes were real. Does context really matter when the the topic is the so-called merits of slavery? How about praising the assassin of an American icon and Civil Rights leader? Is there *any* context in which this would be appropriate?
Is this type of dialogue good for America? Is this really who we are?

Participant[quote=afx114]What’s up with Limbaugh proclaiming that Powell only endorsed Obama because he’s black? Does that mean Limbaugh only supports McCain because he’s white?[/quote]
“I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.”
“You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.”

ParticipantI think I have a fair grasp on the situation…
Obama was not raised by his Muslim father. He did not choose his middle name. He did spend a couple of his early years at an Indonesian school, but it was not an official Muslim school. The students were predominately Muslim, but this was not required for attendance. He also attended a Catholic school in Indonesia. Why didn’t you mention that?
Why don’t you bother to mention that he spent far more time at Punahou (5th-12th grades) – which is a Christian based school? (Google it, if you like…)
So you’re suggesting that he has been faking his Christianity ever since he enrolled at Punahou as a 5th grader? That seems a bit far-fetched — and you have no proof to support your claim. It’s 100% speculation and conjecture.
Ayers and Wright are irrelevant. Their views and ideologies are their own. They do not advise Obama on policy and he does not share their views. He does not “pal around” with either of them.
This guilt by association stuff is really ridiculous. Is McCain a fraudster just because he was a good friend of Charles Keating? Is Palin a secessionist because she pals around with folks who would like to have seen Alaska split from the US? Didn’t we have a civil war last time this was tried? See how ridiculous this is?
…Then what was your point of bringing up Farrakhan if not to prove that somehow his endorsement is a solid indication of Obama’s religious and political leanings? Farrakhan and his followers exist on the fringe of society and are therefore completely irrelevant. He has no place in an Obama administration.
Calling people out on their lack of patriotism is a slippery slope, my friend. In America, we have the right to disagree. Your implication that I share views with Wright and Ayers is completely disgusting. I’m a card-carrying member of DAR. (You can research this organization if you like..) Tread lightly…
