Ayers, Acorn, Obama and Others. October 14, 2008

Up to this point I wasn’t going to write about this topic since I think the McCain campaign is putting to many resources into this line of attack. Not that I don’t think the issue is valid but that the people in the age range to remember Bill Ayers, and therefore feel any passion towards the issue, are in a demographic that McCain already has a nice lead in. Let’s be realistic, it is hard enough for people to remember how bad the 70s were, and how Obama’s plans are similar to that, and that was a decade later. However, I heard something this morning that got me to thinking.

A news reporter was bringing up this issue with the person he was interviewing and the response was that McCain has had his own problems with bad associations in the form of Keating 5. I thought about that and realized that Keating 5 is the exact reason why Bill Ayers is a valid issue. Keating 5 shows the damage that can occur when a young and inexperienced politician has association with a person of disreputable disposition.

The association with Keating 5 helped cause the damage done in the S&L scandal along, what damage do you think could be done with a person who’s associations are with domestic terrorists, American hating reverends, fraudsters, and organizations that promote the idea of voter fraud. All this rapped up in a person trying to be President. If you think the damage done by a senator and a disreputable banker was bad the try Obama and his associates in the White House.

You know, if it was any one person that Obama was associated with I could write it off to a case of bad judgment and really not let it influence me, but when it is a continuous string of the worst kind of people then one really has to start to doubt. At the rate that Obama is having to disassociating himself from his past acquaintances he is going to save a fortune on Christmas cards.
