Why should Obama and the democrites expect any treatment of Obama’s presidency to be any different than what they have done to George Bush over the last 8 years? The day after the 2000 election they began obstructing, undermining, mocking, slandering, and attacking Bush in every way possible. The Democrites set the standard. Why is Obama entitled to anything else? Can you answer that?

Conservatism is a failed theory. Republicans have been banished to the wilderness for a generation–to the land of George Dubya Bush, Sarah the Stewardess Palin, Dan Quayle, Dotty old Ronnie Reagan, bless his alzheimers-deluded presidency, and the rest of the looney-tunes right-wing nuthouse.

You Republicans have nothing to offer this country but angry-white-man’s disease, and America has said ENOUGH!

Just sit down, shut up, and let the Democrats save you from yourselvers.

If the press picked it up, he would have done the smart political thing: denounced it.

Did Obama do anything but ignore (or, occasionally, denounce) his more questionable backers?

Robert wrote that “just about every Jihadist enemy of America publicly announced their hopes for the election.”  He provided no evidence for this.  I provided some evidence that AQ supported McCain. 

As for the Ayers comment: Whatever his past, Ayers is now a respected member of the Chicago intelligentsia, and still a member of the Woods Fund Board (as are former Reaganites).  This is obviously the only capacity in which Obama ever worked with him.

There’s been a lot of talk about what the right should do after getting creamed so badly in the last election.  As someone on the left, I’d like to tell the RV crew to keep up the good work.  Keep up the character attacks without ever articulating a positive position; keep relying on scare tactics; keep shrieking “terrorist!” “terrorist!” whenever you see something you don’t like.  It worked so beautifully in the last campaign!! 

If a neo-nazi group endorsed McCain, would you say that McCain was “beholden” to them?

Better question: If a McCain’s campaign had been launched in the living room of a neo-nazi group, would you say that it was just a coincidence because they hapen to live in the same neighborhood?

Is this supposed to be funny?

If I were Al Qaeda I would have gone with something more like, “Barack Obama may have palled around with terrorists, but only one man can really provide terrorists with the inspiration they need to make it through a hard day of munitions training and America-hating: John McCain.”

Did you happen to catch this?

It was unclear how closely the commentary reflected the views of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, who has not issued a public statement since the spring. Some terrorism experts said the support for McCain could be mere bluster by a group that may have more to fear from a McCain presidency.

There were no leaders from AQ, just people on the blogs..Quite different than what Robert is talking about..

2) Evidence?  On the other hand: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/22/mccain-holds-conference-c_n_136850.html

The Sturmabteilung (that is, the SA, the Brownshirts) have nothing to do with Obama.  But you keep bringing them up….
