Subject: RE: BS: The Missing LA Times Video Tape
Ah, I see I missed the "no" answer that was given to my question. Ok. So if it's not ok for John McCain to be hobnobbing with terrorists, I wonder why the person who is working so hard to smear Obama isn't also criticizing McCain for his connections with terrorists.
Do I think it's ok for the POTUS to associate with Bill Ayers? To the extent that Obama has, I would say, yes. It's ok. As long as someone like that has been accepted by society, including many Republicans, and is considered to be (at the time of the association) a fine upstanding member of the community, as Ayers has, I would say it's perfectly ok for the POTUS to be associating with him.
Now on the subject of whether or not I would like to associate with anarchists, I have to say that the only self-described anarchist I personally know is a libertarian who is also a Vietnam Vet, and who believes that even John McCain is a socialist.
I already answered the question about pot smokers.
