That is why I want all of Obama's questionable relationships with people like Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Rashid Kahlidi, Tony Rezko, and Odinga looked into more closely. The question is 'is it just association' or did either Palin or Obama agree with any of their (anti-american or pro-terrorism) views and support them in anyway? I think obama's associations are just as relevant if not more since his associates have actually taken action against this government. I don't see why you don't see that. Also, I posted a link earlier which showed that Obama had much much more than just a passing association with Ayers. Did you miss it?

Yeah, I probably missed the link. I rarely follow links that don't include at least a sentence or two in the post to tell me what they're about.

Folks on the right have been trying to make someone out of those associations for months now. Seems to me if there were anything there, they'd have found it and published it by now (unless, of course, they're holding something to release too close to the election to refute).

Not only that, but investigative reports like to track stuff like this down. I don't buy John and John's argument that the whole press is in the can for Obama and thus wouldn't even check this out. If a reporter smells a good story that'll land him on page 1, he's going after it.
