re: #293 Nekama

Why not leave it to those on the right to decide who represents them? I never heard of Alex Jones and those of his ilk, until Charles overturned their rock. They most certainly don’t speak for me and those I associate with.

I think the six-degrees-of-separation game should be applied uniformly. If it’s objectionable to go to a rally and listen to someone who appeared on a show with an Alex Jones type, then it should be equally objectionable to go listen to Obama, who spent 20 years with Jeremiah Wright, dined with Rashid Khalidi, and marched with Louis Farrakhan.

Apply the standards equally is my point.

The problem is that Obama did kick Wright to the curb, and has not associated with the other two in a good number of years. He has not given any of them so much as a whisper since taking office, nor has he governed from the racialist left. And its not the going to the rallies that is the problem; It’s the vile things said there.

Nothing would please me better than for the right to need less scrutiny. But at this time, the nuttiness is mostly on the right. Have seen so of the craziness Glenn Beck puts out, for example?
