>>Once again. There is a difference. It would be no problem for you to have acquaintances who belonged to the Communist Party back in the day when it was more extreme, belonged to the KKK and publicly espoused those views, or even one who was responsible for terrorist actions. However, what if any one of them were claimed by you to a close friend, mentor, or advisor? And you were running for public office???? It is NOT the same thing.

>I don't believe in guilt by association no matter what the circumstances. Obama's political opponents are trying to saddle him with everything unsavory everyone he has ever known has said or done. It's bogus. IMO, of course.
Once again. It's only fair to criticize one candidate for his past if it's also fair to criticize the other one too. We've already heard that it's not fair to criticize McCain for something long ago. Ok, fine. Same rules for both.
