just because of Palin's Ayers bullshit of 5 years ago?

Does her insane schtick somehow sanitize Obama's anti-99% choices and innoculate them against criticism?

Does it? If so, why? And Obama never nominated Ayers for anything - and Ayers is no way comparable to Obama's choice here, so your comparison is even more pointlessly stupid.

No, you just can't take any Obama criticism and go around attacking those who criticize your hero, which is my definition of ODS.
