Which in no way excuses his repellent relationship with said terrorist.

Every time Obama is presented with an opportunity to demonstrate his history of moral courage he swings and whiffs.

I thought McCain’s delivery was… odd. I guess he didn’t want to seem mean, but the smile and the high-pitched tone was strange. Tear into Obama, man!

this is such a bs parallel. Weather Underground sent letters of warning before bombings and set of the bombs when no one was around. Sure it was reprehensible but totally different from your garden variety crazed right winger who would see killing a bunch of doctors as some sort of divine retribution.

There have been abortion bombers who have detonated the bombs after ensuring nobody was around if I’m not mistaken. So what’s wrong with the parallel?

I’m just curious as to how Obama is going to bring Republicans and Democrats together in Washington when he’s comparing Republican senators to* terrorists he used to hang out with.

He can’t Obama would be a failure as POTUS on every level, economic, foreign policy, military , and social issues.

LOL!

In that same piscatorial family.

breathtaking audacity

The former is a vague, disingenuous evasion which tells us nothing other than that Obama wouldn’t commit either to approval or disapproval. The latter is a strong, principled statement of where he would actually stand.

Team Barry’s feeble response

The TIME “Flashback” reference is irresponsible leftist advocacy. There is a difference between who endorses you & who you choose to hang around & work with. And they don’t address McCain’s main point–comparing a terrorist to a good doctor.

Au contraire. The KOSTRATI are, by definition, definitely not nuts!

They just whine loudly in very high voices. Great allusion!

Glad that you cleared that up. For a moment I was thinking they were terrorists or something.

Niko, the left has perfected nuance to the point where they can negotiate terrorism into a variety of categories:

1. Conceived terrorism
2. Just planned terrorism
3. Announced terrorism
4. Announced and vacated terrorism
5. Unannaounced terrorism, by night when buildings are empty
6. Full-blast terrorism, especially the kind the U.S. brings upon itself

A commenter has even included a handy dandy list of the names and prison addresses of prisoners of all stripes (eco-defense, animal rights, anti-war, and so on). Maybe crr6 can send them some Valentines Day cards or something.

There is also a whole lot of internecine bickering going on, but I like this comment:

Yeah i remember when i was in san Francisco, as an ex-soldier, home from Vietnam, lived in an apartment with my buddy’s sister and boyfriend. There was this couple. They were radicals. One thing i will say, they never talked about their activities. Didn’t talk much at all.

They were from Texas and their names were Miley and Susan. They got pissed off at me and my vietnam buddy, because we had no money. They looked down on us, because we were ex-soldiers. We didn’t have any education. Big revolutionaries, who couldn’t relate to a couple of ex-soldiers, who fought in Vietnam. Unbelievable attitude toward us.

Great. Another troll.

You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. Be sure to read this chronology of events, slowing down for a careful read of this:

6 March 1970 – Another group blows themselves up when their “bomb factory” located in New York’s Greenwich Village accidentally explodes. WUO members Theodore Gold, Diana Oughton, and Terry Robbins die in this accident. The bomb was intended to be planted at a non-commissioned officer’s dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey. The bomb was packed with nails to inflict maximum casualties upon detonation.

Tell me crr6, why would they pack it with nails if it was only a symbolic gesture preceded with a nice warning letter?

Moreover, I guess the post office screwed up on this one:

16 February 1970 – A bomb is detonated at the Golden Gate Park branch of the San Francisco Police Department, killing one officer and injuring a number of other policemen. No organization claims credit for either bombing.

And, the Brinks guards who were murdered by the mother of Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dhorn’s adopted son must have had their mail returned to sender:

October 20, 1981 – Brinks robbery in which Kathy Boudin and several members of the Weather Underground and the Black Liberation Army stole over $1 million from a Brinks armored car at the Nanuet Mall, near Nyack, New York on October 20, 1981. The robbers were stopped by police later that day and engaged them in a shootout, murdering two police officers and one Brinks guard as well as wounding several others.

Weather Underground sent letters of warning before bombings and set of the bombs when no one was around.

How noble of them.

Weather Underground sent letters of warning before bombings

So does A.Q. (sometimes their warnings are on videotape too). It’s still terrorism, it’s still illegal, it’s still indefensible.

I clicked on the HuffPo link Ap added — a mistake I will never make again. A comment on the Newt video:

“By letting Newt ‘THE ADULTERER’ Gingrich appear on their channel, it shows that FOX-KIDS, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly and, by association, all Christian republicans condone adultery.”

Those people are NUTS!!
