I certainly mean that disqualifying Obama on these grounds at this time would tear the country apart and shouldn't be attempted.
I'm far less certain about motives but my gut feeling is that I'm right.
You can apply that to other liberals as you choose.
“I certainly mean that disqualifying Obama on these grounds at this time would tear the country apart and shouldn’t be attempted.....”
Seems to be an Obama MO..
Obama meanwhile walked into a state legislature seat for a position handed over to him by his mentor. When she decided she wanted to run anyway, Obama’s lawyers disqualified her and the other candidates by invalidating their ballot signatures. Not exactly democracy in action, but it was the way Obama preferred to win.
In the Senate race, Obama was a long shot with no real chance of winning. Then suddenly his Democratic primary opponent and the front runner Dan Hynes’s campaign imploded when allegations emerged by his ex-wife that he had abused her.
Obama won the Democratic party nomination but looked unlikely to defeat the Republican candidate Jack Ryan. Then Jack Ryan’s ex-wife suddenly alleged that he led a perverted lifestyle. (are you seeing the pattern here?) Jack Ryan pulled out, the GOP insanely threw in Allan Keyes at the last minute. Obama won. Allan Keyes lost.
