JayCee,
It is pointless and rude to prolong political debate on a Shooting board and I see little point in doing so. The sources you quote are very slanted (if not downright biased ) and are from the far Right. An undergraduate at any of the colleges here would get an F were they to hand in the erroneous diatribes that you have quoted as valid sources.

For an example of an attempt at juvenile propaganda take the paragraph “The CAC was the brainchild of Bill Ayers, a founder of the Weather Underground in the 1960s. Among other feats, Mr. Ayers and his cohorts bombed the Pentagon, and he has never expressed regret for his actions. Barack Obama's first run for the Illinois State Senate was launched at a 1995 gathering at Mr. Ayers's home.” This clearly tries solidify a tenuous Ayers link to Obama and imply that Obama supports the violent past of the Weathermen. Any editor worth that name would question the structure of that paragraph. Obama said “the notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values, doesn't make much sense.”

Also, when Palin made a similar claim, Obama, on Oct. 8, when questioned by ABC News' Charlie Gibson said:This is a guy who engaged in some despicable acts 40 years ago when I was eight years old. By the time I met him, 10 or 15 years ago, he was a college professor of education at the University of Illinois. ... And the notion that somehow he has been involved in my campaign, that he is an adviser of mine, that ... I've 'palled around with a terrorist', all these statements are made simply to try to score cheap political points.

You can research the topic in factual unbiased media here-

As for quoting the website "Gates of Vienna" as a valid source, well, it and the so-called Baron Bodissey are such a joke they merit their own parodies – a good one is here http://www.sadlyno.com/archives/12920.html

At this stage this has descended to crap if those are the only sources that can be thrown at me.This topic is about to start impinging on my work, which means I cannot shoot Saturday if I keep replying to nonsense and slanted journalism. That is NOT going to happen.

You have a new President elect who, unlike the last guy, has the admiration (for now) of the free world. That’s good enough for me. The vitriol of the many who posted personal comments on me, my background, parents, education and my views shows them for what they are. (Actually their content, spelling and punctuation does that for them!)Water. Ducks. Back. Those who debated with me and did not descend to the gutter continue to have my respect and hand of friendship.

I am not going to post on this topic again.
