Barack Obama certainly runs with an unsavory crowd. This cannot be over-emphasized, yet, his critics make a mistake when they refer to the leftists within it as "associations," as this puts a happy face on his dirty hands. In reality, such people go by a different name: Allies.
This very astute point was made by the great economics professor and columnist Thomas Sowell in a piece titled "The Real Obama." Sowell writes:
We all have associations, whether at the office, in our
neighborhood or in various recreational activities. Most of us neither
know nor care what our associates believe or say about politics.Associations are very different from alliances. Allies are not just
people who happen to be where you are or who happen to be doing the
same things you do. You choose allies deliberately for a reason. The
kind of allies you choose says something about you.
Jeremiah Wright, Father Michael Pfleger, William Ayers and Antoin
Rezko are not just people who happened to be at the same place at the
same time as Barack Obama. They are people with whom he chose to ally
himself for years, and with some of whom some serious money changed
hands.
Kudos to Dr. Sowell. His is a point I wish I would have made. When a man allies himself with vile, anti-American swine, we shouldn’t use euphemisms to characterize the relationships.
The only problem is that the mainstream media, as usual, are doing their best to suppress the truth about the liberals they aim to propel into office. Thus, many people are unaware of the real Obama. As an example, consider that someone I spoke to recently hadn’t even heard of ex-Weathermen terrorist and Obama ally Bill Ayers until just a couple of days ago.
I have often said that the mainstream media are guilty of malpractice. In fact, it’s not a stretch to say that they bear great responsibility for the decline of the West.
