If Barack Obama is a terrorist then what does that make ALL of US?
The media is jumping on this ludicrous story about Obama palling around with terrorists just because a GOP VP said it and yet they forget to check how stupid this actually "IS" at the door. If we're talking about guilt by association then that means anyone who supports Obama is with the terrorists or is a terrorist sympathizer. By that assessment the list of the guilty is a pretty long one.

Is VP pick Joe Biden a terrorist because he happily accepted the nomination to run with obama?

Obama is leading McCain in the polls 53-43. Does that mean 53 percent of the polled electorate wants a terrorist or terrorist sympathizer to run our government? To set our foreign policy? To set our economic policy?

Obama is supported by the majority of Democrats and many Republicans. Does that mean that the Democratic party is a terrorist organization? Are fringe elements of the Republican party terrorist or terrorist sympathizers?

Are the Clintons who gave their full-throated support of Obama at the Democratic convention terrorist sympathizers for supporting Obama who sat on an educational board with rehabilitated radical William Ayers?

How about All of those Republicans who gave money to Ayers? What do you call them?

What about the Annanbergs?

What about Dick Cheney and Bush? Are they guilty by way of blood lines with Obama? Remember the famous line by Bush..."If you're not with us then you're with the terrorists"?

What about all those senators, both Democrat and Republican who worked with Obama to get legislation done
in the senate... are they terrorists or terrorist sympathizers?

All those people who shook Obama's hand at all those rallies, some of them 80 thousand strong... are they ALL terrorist because they wanted to shake his hand, watch him speak?

How about all the people who gave to Obama's campaign? Obama collected a whopping 66 million dollars in contributions in September. What does that make Obama's contributors? A terrorist network?

How about the press... those people who fly in the same plane with Obama

How about all those people who voted for Obama in the primaries and caucuses? What does that make them?

What about Ellen DeGeneres who danced with Obama?

What about all the senators and congressmen who support Obama, who still support Obama? Are these people terrorist sympathizers?

Is this sinking in? Doesn't this whole line of questioning about something so irrelevant now sound really silly and dumb?

Next time people want to launch an inquiry into Obama's past, please for the love of mankind think before you act. Think about it because it seems this whole Ayers fluff is about to blow up in somebody's face come Wednesday. That Ayers can be tied to McCain and people who support McCain may very well be McCain's undoing.

EVERYONE PUSH BACK AGAINST THIS NON-SENSICAL MEME that the media is trying to heap on us directly or indirectly.

9. some clod at work gave me the "Obama's name makes him a terrorist" BS last week...
so I looked at him and said, "my first, middle and last name are Italian, does that make me a member of the mafia?"

he turned red, mumbled something, then realized how stupid he sounded.
