The Ayers Connection
The latest thing that Palin and the Republicans have been screeching about is Obama's connection to former Weatherman bomber Bil Ayers. He's a professor now, and they apparently sat on some school board together or something. Apparently this proves that Obama is a bomb-throwing terrorist.
Republicans have been fussing a fuming about it incessantly. In fact, they seem to be on overdrive in general; the number of "push-poll" questions that have been posted by right-wingers on Askville lately is truly astonishing.
As you may know, I'm not supporting Obama. But I find the hypocrisy of the Republicans in this to be extreme, even for them. They claim that Obama is responsible for acts committed by someone else when he was eight years old. Why is it, then, that they never have the slightest criticism to make of Donald Rumsfeld and other high-level Republicans who not only "palled around" with people like Saddam Hussein, but actually sold him weapons - after he had already committed atrocities on his own people?
The answer, of course, is a resounding silence.
