I don’t always agree with Charles Krauthammer, but I think the column he wrote today is right on the money. Read it yourself.
A couple of agitated yahoos in a rally of thousands yell something offensive and incendiary, and John McCain and Sarah Palin are not just guilty by association -- with total strangers, mind you -- but worse: guilty according to The New York Times of "race-baiting and xenophobia."
But should you bring up Barack Obama's real associations -- 20 years with Jeremiah Wright, working on two foundations and distributing money with William Ayers, citing the raving Michael Pfleger as one who helps him keep his moral compass (Chicago Sun-Times, April 2004) and the long-standing relationship with the left-wing vote-fraud specialist ACORN -- you have crossed the line into illegitimate guilt by association. Moreover, it is tinged with racism.
I think a great deal of what Barack Obama is able to get away with comes from his ability to control the media narrative. The bias in favor of Obama and against McCain and the Republicans is the only reason the Democrats will do well this election. If people knew both sides of the truth, they would see that both McCain and Obama are good decent men. They just each have a different philosophy about how to take America forward.
I will not vote for Obama because I believe in limited government. I believe Barack Obama believes that the government can and should attempt to solve all problems.
