Nathan Moore's Thoughts
The Weather[man] Outside is Frightful…
I truly expected Hillary Clinton to take the gloves off last night. Maybe her Democrat-loyal heart isn’t as small and black as I originally thought.
Notwithstanding her politness, Barack Obama looked as uncomfortable as I have yet seen him. And this discomfort, standing, yet essentially shuffling in place, arose due to some truly relevant questions that his Democrat opponents haven’t had the strategic fortitude to bring up.
Predictably missing the point, MSNBC’s Democrat super flak Keith Olbermann, better suited as ESPN Sportscenter anchor than political commentator, blames the messenger
The real story of his debate may not be found where they found the answers, but where one of the moderators found his questions: Sean Hannity of Fox News, and separately a local New York right wing radio host [presumably Steve Malzberg], each insisting during interviews this week with George Stephanopoulos of ABC that he ask Senator Obama about his tenuous past link to 60s and 70s terrorist radical William Ayers. Tonight, Stephanopoulos did that.
Yeah, um, okay. He shouldn’t have been the first one. The problem was in Obama’s answer, where he admits to not consulting with unrepentant terrorist William Ayers on a “regular basis”.
So, it’s just occasionally. Every now and then. Not enough to worry about. From The Washington Post’s blog
The former Weatherman, William Ayers, now holds the position of distinguished professor of education at the University of Illinois-Chicago. Although never convicted of any crime, he told the New York Times in September 2001, “I don’t regret setting bombs…I feel we didn’t do enough.”
Both Obama and Ayers were members of the board of an anti-poverty group, the Woods Fund of Chicago, between 1999 and 2002. In addition, Ayers contributed $200 to Obama’s re-election fund to the Illinois State Senate in April 2001, as reported here. They lived within a few blocks of each other in the trendy Hyde Park section of Chicago, and moved in the same liberal-progressive circles.
How this is not a legitimate question only Keith can answer. It certainly was, and is, and will continue to be all the way to November, along with the never ending saga of Jeremiah Wright, and the outright socialist / Marxist public comments of Michelle Obama. This is not guilt by association – this is confirming proof of Barack Obama’s utter and complete lack of judgment.
UPDATE Bill Hobbs has more
Hillary Clinton follows up by filling in the blanks on the relationship between Obama and Ayers, and this article in The Politico makes clear that Obama and the unrepentant terrorist are not just casual neighbors, but political pals.
Hot Air says the article is “Proof that Obama’s not above schmoozing bomb-tossing commies — excuse me, reformed bomb-tossing commies – to advance his political career.”

There people are so full of themselves. David Horowitz after interviewing Bill Ayers for 10 hours said, “What I saw was a shallowness beyond conception”.
Bernadine Dohrn at the Flint Michigan Weatherman “war council” famously stated regarding the Manson slayings,
“Dig It. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, they even shoved a fork into a victim’s stomach! Wild!”
These people worship Lenin, Stalin, Mao and according to one of Bill’s blog entries; “Capitalism is exhausted as a force for progress: built on exploitation, theft, conquest, war, and racism”

Ted Bundy worked on the re-election campaign of Republican Dan Evans. Therefore, Evans should be investigated for aiding and abetting a serial killer…
Please pursue something more suited to your gifts, something that doesn’t have the prerequisite of honesty and logic.

Sigh.
The material difference is that Barack Obama has been on notice about Bill Ayers past, and his unrepentant feelings on bombing civilian targets, and even still: associates with him, is on “friendly terms”, and has accepted campaign support from him.
However, it does brighten my morning getting criticized for being illogical by those who get stuck on the crust. My humble suggestion is that you unsubscribe yourself from this blog.
