The Liberal Double Standard.
The Looney Left has been outraged this week about McCain’s attacks on Barack Obama for his association with domestic terrorist and cop killer William Ayers. This relationship goes way back. Obama was on serveral committees with the man and served as chairman on his education project being run by Bill Ayers called an Annenberg Challenge. Obama even held his coming out fundraiser in the living room of Ayers. Ayers the leader of the Weather Underground, bombed the US Capital and Pentagon killing 7 people. Ayers is unrepentant and said that “He wished he had done more.” When asked about this, Obama said, ” I was 8 when this happened.” What kind of an excuse is that? What Judgement Mr. Obama? Your first job was giving out $50 million dollars for radical education that you got via William Ayers and you have no relationship with this man? Regardless, McCain was compared to A segregationalist in the South responsible for the Birmington Alabama church bombing in 1963 by Rep. Lewis. They “are selling the seeds of hate,” he said. Gee, apparently the age of journalism is dead. You are no longer responsible for the friends you keep. The left is implying that associations no longer matter. I guess that they would fight for your life if you drove the gettaway car at a bank robbery because you didn’t actually rob the bank right? That doesn’t cut it for me. That doesn’t cut it for America. It is a double standard. Rep. Foley was kicked out yet Barney Frank, who had a gay lover for 9 years and Gerry Studds who gave alcohol to 17 year old boys and then had sex with them was forgiven. The Times yelled foul over a John McCain affair that never happened, but refused to go after John Edwards. Not to mention that they feel it as no problem to blame Republicans when Barney Frank and Chris Dodd were doing backflips to deregulate the housing Market. Even as Dodd was given low intrest for Counrty Wide Morgage, a big offender of the subprime lending.
No it isn’t okay to vet Obama’s associations with Franklin Reins, who is an Obama economic advisor and made Fannie Mae a “bad credit, no credit, no problem” business practice. It is John McCain’s fault when people chant terrorist at Obama’s name even though McCain rebuked them. But where was this liberal outrage when people were calling Bush “Hitler.” Where was it when people called Rove and Cheney the devil? It sickens me. If you are going to yell foul yell foul at both sides. Obama is not a great man, he has his skeletons. It is an election, wouldn’t you rather have them come out now then when he is in office? If he wins the office.

In other news, Bill Raymond has been accused of associating with a member of a fringe domestic socialist group. Witnesses confirm that the two have often been seen together discussing current events and the future of the nation. Could this be the end of his budding political career? How will the local Republicans react to the discovery that their fearless and outspoken leader “pals around” with communists?

Barney Frank is an openly gay congressman who has championed gay rights throughout his career and whose lover was an adult male. It was a consensual relationship, unlike Rep. Foley’s predatory advances towards teenagers. This is not a double standard, Bill. It just makes for more entertaining news headlines when a member of a party that staunchly supports “family values” and condemns homosexuality is discovered to be a hypocrite. We as a people love irony. And I’m sure Fox News would wet itself over news that a prominent Democrat displayed behavior clearly out of line with what they preached in public. And I would find that perfectly acceptable, at least until O’Reilly gets his hands on the story and takes it to new bounds of offensiveness. However, you and dyed-in-the-wool Democrats are doomed never to agree on the issue of which private matters should be probed or left alone. Dems jump at the chance to get any dirt on Republicans, but ignore and deny racy stories about fellow party members, just as a Republican does with his party. The issue of privacy and journalistic decency has become too subjective, and no one party is to blame for this.

Ben you are wrong. If you watched Fox News you would have seen that they didn’t go after the John Edwards story until it was confirmed that he actually cheated on his wife. Unlike the NY Times story on McCain
