There are far too many of these "casual relationships" in Obama's not-so-distant past.

That "Godless" ad, even among countless numbers of other distasteful ads, is by far the most repulsive and cheap effort by a politician to overturn the current tide of the election.

This article, for example, claims that Dole's mind (and motives) are transparent when in fact her mind and motives are not. Is it possible that Dole's internal polls have discovered this race to be lost and she made a decision to tarnish the reputation and thereby diminish the future clout of Hagan? In a word, yes! Where is proof that the writer has insight into Dole's mind and intentions? Another problem with this article and guilt by association attacks is the writer fails to question the context of the associations. A police officer, for example, in the normal duties of his job may have to associate with pimps and whores. During these associations, he may become friendly with some of the players. To then make the jump that it is somehow indicative of the officer's character is naive and foolish. This line of reasoning would apply to a law teacher as well. An educator,for example, has a duty to listen to all sides of all arguments. College professors and any participant in higher education have a duty and responsibility to search for the truth or some ideal. This search requires one to engage all philosophies, experiences and mindsets in a debate. To eliminate and disenfranchise certain groups or individuals from the debate is censorship. Censorship goes against all rational thought and destroys all people's liberty, freedom and the ultimate goal of education. Context is also important in that the nature of the association can be voluntary or involuntary. Obama, for example, was appointed to a board with a domestic terrorist. Appointed means the relationship was born from an involuntary association. In all fairness, to the writer, however, it must be pointed out the writer may not be referring to Ayres but to someone else. The writer never mentions what Obama relationships he is referring to. Only vague references to associations that are somehow bad. The Dole attack,and those on Obama reek of Karl Rove and all that is wrong with the G.O.P. today. It is an us against them mentality that uses victimology,smears and a dumbing down of America to pursue a path to power. Any attack on them leads to the anti-G-D, anti-American values shunning. The Rovian, evangelical wing of the G.O.P. claims any criticism of them as an attack on God,country and family. They, after all are victims of the evil commies and socialist pigs who threaten the American way of life. They will stop at nothing and will use unfounded or misconstrued personal attacks to demonstrate just how the enemy hates America, its institutions and G-D. And they know where these people are. These anti-Americans elitists hang out in universities, Georgetown cocktail parties, Hyde Park in Chicago and Universities(Be especially wary of them schools on the east and west coast.)
