The media "cleared" Obama of any blame for his intellectual love affair with a Stalinist stooge, his devotion to Reverend Wright, and his cozy connection to a convicted terrorist bomber. But today, Tea Party activists are being guilted by free association with random lunatic Jared Lee Loughner. Imagine if, 20 years from now, Loughner were free, and tenured, and influential in right-wing politics. Imagine that some young conservative-- say, Duncan Paul, Rand Paul's son -- befriended Loughner and used his home for a political fundraiser, which launched Paul on a career that finally led him to the White House. Imagine that Duncan Paul's childhood mentor turned out to be a fundamentalist Christian theocrat. Imagine that it emerged he worshipped at a radical right-wing, racialist church. President Duncan Paul would be pretty careful what he said about the connections between political rhetoric and terrorism. No wonder President Obama is choosing his words so cautiously. If only his allies in Congress and the media likewise realized what a glass house he inhabits.
