Sarah Palin is keeping the heat turned up on what Barack Obama and the "mainstream" media would rather keep under the rug: Obama's association with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers.
From NewsMax, Palin defended comments she made yesterday about Obama "palling around with terrorists."
"The comments are about an association that has been known but hasn't been talked about," she said. "It's important to talk about how Barack Obama kicked off his political career in the guy's living room."
Indeed. Ayers is more than "just a guy in the neighborhood" as Obama has described him.
Obama worked on the board with Ayers of an organization created by Ayers. They have also worked on other projects together. And, as Palin said today, Obama's political career was launched by a meet-and-greet Ayers held for Obama in his own house.
This gal Sarah Palin is making it harder for the media to keep ignoring this story; they'd rather talk about Todd Palin's 20 year old DUI and books Palin didn't ban.
Ken Connor's column today at TownHall.com begins with one of my favorite quotes.
It is from a C.S. Lewis book called The Abolition of Man:
We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings to be fruitful.
When Lewis talks of "men without chests," the "chest" refers to that area between the head and the heart (or perhaps belly--signifying "want"--is more apt) that combines intellect and emotion into a coherent and useful force for good.
Connor uses it very aptly to begin his discussion of the current financial meltdown.
We have spent the last 15 years or so decrying morality and virtue, and then we claim surprise that we would find corruption and malfeasance in our government-managed financial industry.
We have spent the last 15 years or so saying that private moral standards have no bearing on public service, and then we are indignant when those same private moral failings manifest themselves publicly.
He entered Yale College at age 13 and graduated with honors. He became a pastor, and his sermon, "Sinners in the Hands of An Angry God," started the Great Awakening, a revival that swept America, uniting the colonies prior to the Revolution. He became President of Princeton College. His name was Jonathan Edwards and he was born OCTOBER 5, 1703.
Jonathan Edwards married Sarah Pierrepont, and according to A Study in Education and Heredity by A.E. Winship (1900), their descendants included a U.S. Vice-President, 3 U.S. Senators, 3 governors, 3 mayors, 13 college presidents, 30 judges, 65 professors, 80 public office holders, 100 lawyers and 100 missionaries.
This same study examined a family known as "Jukes." In 1877, while visiting New York's prisons, Richard Dugdale found inmates with 42 different last names all descending from one man, called "Max."
Born around 1720 of Dutch stock, Max was a hard drinker, idle, irreverent and uneducated. His descendants included 310 paupers, who, combined spent 2,300 years in poorhouses, 50 women of debauchery, 400 physically wrecked by indulgent living, 7 murderers, 60 thieves, and 130 other convicts.
The "Jukes" descendants cost the state more than $1,250,000.

Don't you just love this, perhaps the closest that the "mainstream" media can actually report on information damaging to Barack Obama?
It's damning to him and his credibility...yet the "mainstream" media attempts to smear someone else with Obama's moral failure.
The CNN reporter says the "fiery words" heard on the campaign trail are "getting worse." Ooooooooooh! Then he repeats the quote of Sarah Palin stating today:
"Our opponent though is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough that he is palling around with terrorists who would target their own country"
The reporter says it somewhat breathlessly, as if it's the most far fetched thing you could possibly imagine (and perhaps it would be, if it wasn't true).
He also calls it "a very strong assertion" as if to say "Wow, I don't know if I'da said that. She'd better be able to prove that." As if the proof of it's accuracy wasn't already well documented.
And the person who posted this on YouTube is apparently a big-time Koolaid drinker, because this was their description:
PALIN HATES THIS COUNTRY- THIS IS VERY PLAN TO SEE,,, WHAT TYPE OF ANIMAL TALKS ABOUT ANOTHER AMERICAN LIKE THIS.. VOTE THE REPUBLICANS OUT OF OFFICE,,, ENOUGH OF THEIR HATE AND LIES
So NOT the person who set off bombs in the U.S. Capitol, Pentagon and other government buildings and remains to this day unrepentant for those acts...not the person who has worked with this terrorist on multiple occasions and projects and got his political start at a party at this terrorist's house...not them, but the person who mentions it is the evil animal.
Only in the liberal fantasy world could this happen! Answer this question honestly. If someone lived in your area who had bombed the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, several post offices and other buildings...and on September 11, 2001 they had said "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough."
QUESTION: Would you work for an organization they founded and serve on the board of that organization with them? Would you let this person hold a campaign fundraiser for you at their house and attend it?
Would you work with and associate with Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh?
If you wouldn't, why would you support a presidential candidate who would associate with a domestic terrorist?
Sarah Palin is keeping the heat turned up on what Barack Obama and the "mainstream" media would rather keep under the rug: Obama's association with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers.
