Judge Obama by the company he keeps.

I think that hits upon our difference. You find the fact that he associates with some folks with whom you differ strongly to be sufficient evidence that he is a radical. I don't. Even if all those people were, in fact, radicals you couldn't reasonably claim that Obama is a radical. Do you not associate with anyone with views that differ from yours? Maybe you don't. A lot of people don't tolerate diversity. And many people are not strong enough to be away from their amen-gallery. Personally, I enjoy engaging with a variety of interesting people. It stimulates my mind. Plus people commonly associate with other people for reasons other than their ideas. I wouldn't want to be judged idea-wise by the company I keep.

Re Carol Browner, I used to work for her. I didn't know her well but I knew her. And my job required me to know a lot about her. Calling her a radical is risible.

Oh, that is right she is just like Obama and a student of Alinsky, she is still the kook you accused the guy writing about what they do of being.

You think that link supports the conclusion that she is a religious nut? If you really do, and if you want to find a kook, I suggest a mirror.

You and I are his enemies. If you wish to be last to lose your freedoms you will be just as enslaved at the end of the day.

Again, an unsupportable conclusion. I don't understand that people like Obama are acting on behalf of the Devil ERGO I will lose my freedoms. Egad, what a stretch! I may end up losing my freedoms via creeping socialism but the Devil won't have been a factor.
