Taylor Marsh is perplexed:
This is the vein in the Democratic party I will never understand, cannot accept on any level. What is it about some people who just don't get the problems with our Democratic nominee being friendly, even taking a contribution (however small), as well as having a meeting as recently as 1995 with an unrepentant domestic terrorist like William Ayers? It reveals a lack of seriousness about the issue of terrorism and the dangerously immature judgment of anyone who is going to associate with a man, at the very least, that Republicans will use to beat us over the head with, having the bonus of hitting a spot the public loves to drink up, which is that our party is not serious about the dangers we face in this world.
It's the same impulse among those Democrats who think Castro is cool and Chavez is a hero. And in Obama's case, if the American voter ever gets the full story, the party could be facing a defeat in a year where all the stars were aligned in their favor. |
I think that I am every bit as qualified to read GOP minds as they are qualified to read the Democrat's minds. It's guilt by association.
Taylor has a point. However, I don't think that anyone can, or should, question every acquaintance they make in the course of a political career nor have to parse every single word before before speaking. It would be the only way for a candidate to avoid being bashed over the head by the GOP smear machine.
