<So I take it your answer is that you do not believe that he thinks like those guys, and that he just knows them.> Well, "knows" is interesting as well... do you "know" your priest or pastor (if you go to church)? He served on the board of directors of a charity (and was intruduced to him by republican benefactors and Mayor Daly) with Ayers? Who cares?! THIS GUY IS SQUEEKY CLEAN for a politician. You know what they did to McCain when HE ran against Bush last time!?? Holy shit! If they had ANYTHING on this guy you wouldn't even be hearing about Bill Ayers and Rev.

So what... such crap. Hell, I"m Catholic, and here's a Catholic Priest spewing as well: youtube.com He's supposedly Obama's "friend" too I see. DAK

Above all, the seething resentment, the mix of arrogance and impotent rage that burns at the heart of the paranoid style in politics...
