before he was responsible for all they did - Alinsky, Wright, and likely others.

And they weren't as bad as Fuentes.

Same with the Franklin funeral with Clinton. The RW thinks it proves something.

An example from yesterday I just ran across:

critical of the US government for its actions in Iraq and its historical treatment of minorities. That sermon was controversial for its "God damn America" comment, which was taken out of context, of course, but Obama was put on the spot for it. Just imagine if he'd had meetings with someone like Angela Davis or Louis Farrakhan.

Oh. Wait. It was a cartoon.

Oh, yeah. And it was satirical.

Oh, yeah. And it wasn’t a terrorist.
