Khalidi is also close to Bill Ayers, thanking him in his book for letting him write part of it at his kitchen table.

Obama and Ayers gave Khalidi funds from their Woods foundation.

How many instances of his friendships with this kind of radical people do there need to be until America wakes up and sees that it's not a difference of kind with Obama, but degree?
Or a better question:

How many degrees of separation is Obama responsible for?

They (Obami Huessien and Hitler) were both socialists, so I can see why they both follow the same tactics and strategery.
Hitler's party was National Socialist alright, but that's about where the socialism stopped with that character.

Hilter was actually a neo-con.

Inside my mind, Conservapublitariendants are prohibited from voting.

Because there are no voting booths in my mind, it's just a dream of mine.

No Andy...I want every Conservapublitariendant to vote. The voter fraud accusations would take too many months to sort out.

What would really be cool is for the Whig party to come back. Jacksonian Democrats were so much like the Bush Administration it's not even funny, and lately, it's really not even funny.

Re: Ayers, Obama and Rasheed Khalidi

Obama went to Harvard, which is in Boston, which is where Ho Chi Minh worked as a dishwasher in 1930.
It's all coming together...............

Take it up with the University of Chicago...

Apparently they're guilty of hiring all these "terrorists" who are secretly posing as professors. They probably needed these guys for their bomb-making curriculum. Surely they're not teaching students traditional subjects in which they're expert.

Obama was merely guilty of talking to his co-workers. If you follow that line of logic, I feel nauseous at the idea that I'm responsible for, liable for misdeeds of, or automatically assumed to agree with some of the jokers I work with.

Re: Ayers, Obama and Rasheed Khalidi

This is interesting, but not surprising. NYT: McCain camp pushed Ayers report.

Quote:
The Times published a front-page story about Ayers and Obama on Saturday, and Palin said Tuesday she was simply “responding to the news of the day” by repeatedly mentioning Ayers on the stump.

Bill Keller, executive editor of the Times, sees the timetable for the Ayers uproar in a very different way, however. He told Politico that the paper was motivated to report out the Ayers link because the McCain campaign has been pushing it — not the other way around.

“We've reported the Ayers relationship before, and we had it on our to-do list for a while to take a more comprehensive look,” Keller said in an e-mail. “When the McCain campaign began to make it a major focal point of ads and stump speeches, we decided the time was right.”
Maybe Bill Keller would like to point to the when and where of these ads and stump speeches by the McCain campaign. The article says nothing about that, instead talking about the efforts of Stanley Kurtz, someone not affliated with the McCain campaign.

This is a very dishonest distortion by the Times.

If you've got something to say about policy, attack that. If you think that your candidate has a better solution for a problem facing America, stand behind that. But this silliness? It hurts us all in the long run.

how is this an attack? he implemented ayers educational agenda? Ayers has some weird friends, obama sppts doctrinal thinking along ayers thought liens.....so? is that an attack?

Because the relationship is tenuous at best, and proves very little.

Surely you've associated with people with questionable backgrounds in your lifetime. Does that mean that you're a bad person? Does it mean that you're untrustworthy?

These attacks on associations serve no benefit to the nation. They may very well hurt us all in the long run.

Nice try, but he mentions frequent dinners at the guy's home.

Influenced by him? I'm guessing that you are implying policy-wise? Can you point out which part of the video/article says this?
Quote:

Oh, and Obama used the word "sore." So did the other guy. HE MUST BE A TERRORIST CONVERT! As for any anti-Israel stance, it is to be expected of any rational man. Seriously, who the hell likes those bloodthirsty leeches and doesn't have his had up his ass?

Damn, he had a few conversations about politics that made him think, and all of a sudden it's something to worry about? Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill.

Ah, I see it now! Obama is guilty for having a few conversations and being located in the same general location as Khalidi, who mentioned Ayers in his book, who used to be associated with the weathermen! It all makes sense now!

Well, the moron neocons only need one vague connection, maybe less. I guess it depends on the person, since the number of vague and totally inconclusive instances required increases as intelligence increases. Read this for advice on your next thread:
Six degrees of separation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On a similar topic, what do you folks think about Ronald Reagan, a man who support terrorists and their terrorism (what it would likely be called if performed today and against the US)?
