My Fellow…Comrades

Ace has awarded the flaming skull to this latest evidence of Obama’s radical connections.

However, this is not really late breaking news; the facts have been out there for a while ( see this, this, this, this and this). If the MSM-types would pull their heads out of those dumpsters in Alaska and start doing some genuine investigative reporting, we’d probably have seen a lot more evidence of The One’s radical connections, and a whole lot earlier (Oops! Sorry. I forgot for a moment that that would be straying from the script).

Update: Powerline sums it up nicely.

Dick Morris nails it in simple non-partisan terms:

"Barack Obama should have run screaming at the sight of William Ayers and his wife, Bernadette Dohrn. ...

Why did Obama put up with Ayers? Because he got a big job and $50 million of patronage to distribute to his friends and supporters in Chicago. Why did he hang out with Jeremiah Wright? Because he was new in town, having grown up in Hawaii and Indonesia and having been educated at Columbia and Harvard, and needed all the local introductions he could get to jump-start his political career. Why was he so close to Rezko?

Because he funded Obama’s campaigns and helped him buy a house for $300,000 less than he otherwise would have had to pay.

Not a good recommendation for a president."

Bruce: Good stuff. So, Obama is either a formerly (and probably currently) committed leftist, or an opportunist who hung with nutbuckets because it was politically expedient to do so. Either way, he looks bad.

I could be wrong, because I've misjudged the character of other people recently, but...

...I refuse to give ObeyMe credit for committing to anything but his own power & self-interest, Paco, so my opinion says Committed Opportunist who hung out with scum because they could advance HIS agenda.

I'm getting more and more nervous about this election. Are we going to wake up on the 5th and find we've voted democracy out of office?

I always call Obama a socialist, but when it comes right down to it, I don't think the man has any principles or beliefs at all except grabbing political power for himself by any means necessary. He just happened to pick the far left because they approve of that kind of thing.
