That's the whole point of bringing up their associations. His 20 year association with Rev. Wright we know about and i'd venture to say that even you can hardly say that this is a trifle.
As for Ayers, Obama has known the guy for, what, almost a decade now? Maybe he doesn't share Ayers more radical agendas (neither does Ayers unless we should hear he's taken up planting bombs again) but I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the possibility they share ideology and that is something that shouldn't be swept under the party rug. |
I would be highly concerned if Senator Obama shares the same kind of ideology as Ayers. So is there any evidence to suggest such an idea be they statements made by Obama or his voting record or anything else for that matter? If so I would love to see it. If not then all we have here is a classic case of guilt by association which should have no bearing on which way people vote. :hmm:
