A case study in contrasts. First, the Philadelphia Enquirer:
Okay, if that's the standard, isn't there another candidate out there with connections to terrorists? A correspondent of K-Lo at the Corner summarizes things perfectly:
Despite her efforts to portray herself as an average, small-town, "folksy" American, Sarah Palin's political views - ardently pro-gun, pro-censorship, antichoice and antigay - make John McCain's conservative credentials pale in comparison. What few observers have said, however, is these beliefs are not just extreme - they are radical, and even bear a comparison with some of the most notorious "rural radicals" of our time.No, you didn't misread that last sentence.
It has been years since groups such as the Montana Militia, the Posse Comitatus and the Sagebrush Rebels, and individuals such as Terry Nichols and Ted Kaczynski have made us wonder why so many "angry white men" populated our rural regions. Many of us have forgotten the threat once posed by domestic terrorists and instead have turned our attention to foreign terrorists. But we should never forget that in the late 20th century, ultra-Christian, antistatist and white-supremacist groups flourished in the states of the Pacific Northwest - called by many the "Great White Northwest" - the very region that Sarah Palin and her family call home.
Okay, if that's the standard, isn't there another candidate out there with connections to terrorists? A correspondent of K-Lo at the Corner summarizes things perfectly:
Palin shares a vast region of the country with terrorists: must be investigated.I've said this before. Repeatedly. But I am still amazed by the media. I keep hoping for the best from them... and yet am constantly surprised by the depths to which they stoop and the stunning bias of the lenses through which they view the world. You'd think I'd catch on by now...
Obama shares multiple personal contacts with terrorists: move along, nothing to see here.
nah, too obvious!
We're currently seeing it being employed by today's Leftists, who have assumed leadership positions in many key institutions of American society (the press, academia, federal bureacracy, Hollywood, et al) and who are doing their best to undermine American values and confidence in our system:

I guess from Philadelphia the fact that British Columbia keeps Alaska from being part of the Montana-Idaho-Washington State axis of melanin deficiency is easy to miss.
I suppose that means we need to raise questions about whether he's ever violated the Logan Act.

My favorite was the one I just posted where they quote the guy who works at McDonald's, who kindly informs us that most of the people working at McDonald's are not MIT graduates and they don't seem like the kind of people that will vote for Obama/Osama.
I have seriously not had one such conversation. They are setting up the "America prejudice if Obama doesn't win" meme. I think that will have worse consequences than the collapse of Lehman's really.
