Once Again, Phony Cries Of Racism
Oct 5, 2008 Political
It never fails when it comes to the left. They see racism in everything, except of course in the words of their own adherents who spout racially motivated attacks all the time. This time the focus is on Sarah Palin and her attacks on Obama’s ties to a domestic terrorist. There is no denying that Barack Obama had more than a passing relationship with William Ayers. Therefore, he has associated himself with a domestic terrorist and one who fails to repent for his behavior. In fact, Ayers said that he did not do enough.
Palin attacked Obama for his association with Ayers and the Liberal media has been running cover for The One. The major publications are saying that the association has been debunked (it has not) and that Obama was a child when Ayers targeted our country (he was) and they also report that Obama has denounced what Ayers did in the past.
The Obama Ayers relationship is very real. Ayers held a major fund raiser at his house for Obama and they served together on the board of a few charities. Ayers and Obama have a close relationship and that should make people stop and think.
It is true that Obama was a child when Ayers and his terrorist group bombed federal buildings and killed police officers. But that does not mean Obama should not be held accountable for his judgment. How do you suppose it would play out if Hitler had lived and George Bush befriended him and said “hey I don’t agree with what the guy did but I wasn’t even born when he did it.” Obama can claim that he denounces the acts of Ayers but by befriending him, Obama gives him and the cause he feels did not go far enough, legitimacy. This is the kind of legitimacy that Obama would give Ahmadinejad by meeting with him without preconditions. Perhaps Obama’s failure to make the connection with regard to Ayers is why he is so willing to meet with other terrorists.
It does not matter that Obama has denounced what Ayers did. If you had a neighbor who was friends with bin Laden and rationalized it by saying “Well, I denounced what he did” would you consider that neighbor a patriot or a traitor?
The AP reported on Palin’s comments and they concluded that she had some racist sprinklings in them.
Palin’s words avoid repulsing voters with overt racism. But is there another subtext for creating the false image of a black presidential nominee “palling around” with terrorists while assuring a predominantly white audience that he doesn’t see their America?
In a post-Sept. 11 America, terrorists are envisioned as dark-skinned radical Muslims, not the homegrown anarchists of Ayers’ day 40 years ago. With Obama a relative unknown when he began his campaign, the Internet hummed with false e-mails about ties to radical Islam of a foreign-born candidate.
Whether intended or not by the McCain campaign, portraying Obama as “not like us” is another potential appeal to racism. It suggests that the Hawaiian-born Christian is, at heart, un-American. Breitbart
Let me point out that Obama was the one who said he did not look like the other presidents. The AP is playing a word game by inferring that Palin said things she did not. The AP is helping Obama by planting these seeds. I will also say that she associated him with William Ayers who is white and bringing up the dark skinned Muslim angle is reaching well beyond the line of reality. The AP in this analysis is trying to misdirect the attention of the people. They are saying; “ignore the terrorist connections of Obama, it is a racist remark.”
Barack Obama has questionable relationships with radical and corrupt people including Ayers, Tony Rezko, and Pastor Wright. These associations have not been investigated by the media and have been largely ignored. Any attempt to bring them to light is viewed as racist which gives us a good idea as to how Obama will govern the country. “Congress failed to pass my budget because they are racists.” “How dare you criticize my foreign policies, you racists.”
Obama is a radical as is his wife who has been muzzled so as to keep her from expressing her true hate filled feelings about our country. She and her husband will do anything to get ahead in politics. Obama knew Ayers would be helpful so he allowed him to help. This is the same motivation that allowed him to join and attend a radical church for 20 years. He needed the backing in order to achieve. It does not hurt that Obama and his radical wife hold the same values as the church. Even Oprah, who is a racist, left the church.
The AP is way out of line. Obama’s associations are fair game and if the other side does not like it then too bad. Perhaps if the AP spent time actually looking at Obama’s shady past they would not have time to dream up the bogey man of racism.
Palin needs to keep hammering him on this. Attack, attack, attack. If the media will not do its job then others will have to. Regardless of what anyone thinks about this, it is a fact that Obama has a close relationship with a domestic terrorist. This should matter, and to me it does.
