Listen up, Wingnuts:
Obama met Bill Ayers 30 years after he committed his crimes, along with several other politicians of both parties, in a range of political contexts. He was not Obama's "mentor", Obama doesn't "pal around with him", and he doesn't endorse his actions as a simple result of not shunning everything he's associated with.
Meanwhile, McCain helped Charles Keating commit his crimes, and didn't learn the lessons of the Savings & Loan scandal for 20 years following, many of which contributed to the current financial crisis. And Palin participated in a laying-on-of-hands by a pastor who organized a mob to chase a woman out of his suburb because he said she was a witch who caused car accidents. And produced a support video for the Alaskan Independence Party.
If the Right wants to make this into a war of association guilt, They Will Lose.
