Sowell, once again, gets to the heart of the matter [in a razor-sharp manner, I might add] in 750 words or less.
Some of the most condensed brilliance I’ve ever read.

Some people who see the fraud in what Obama is saying are amazed that others do not. But Obama knows what con men have long known, that their job is not to convince skeptics but to enable the gullible to continue to believe what they want to believe. He does that very well...Bingo......
To: jazusamo
It is obvious that Sowell is not a campaign advisor. If a campaign does not attack the many weaknesses of their opponent, then their opponent has no weakness. In such circumstances even a 20 year disciple of David Duke could become President.
Compare what Wright says and what Obama says
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDcQUcAjoeI Wright: "Barrack knows what it means to be a black man living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7fi8STNlxM Obama: "Many of the problems that Africa faces whether it is
poverty, or political suppression, or ethnic conflict is just as prominent there and can't all be blamed on the effects of colonialism, what it
can be blamed on is some of the common factors that effect Bosnia or Los Angeles or all kinds of places on this earth and that is
the tendancy for one group to try to suppress another group in the interest of power or greed or resources."

One of Doctor Sowell’s finest summations. What a way with words!

Nor has the help all been one way. During the last debate between John McCain and Barack Obama, Senator McCain mentioned that Senator Obama's political campaign began in Bill Ayers' home. Obama immediately denied it and McCain had no real follow-up. It was not this year's political campaign that Obama began in Bill Ayers' home but an earlier campaign for the Illinois state legislature. Barack Obama can match Bill Clinton in slickness at parsing words to evade accusations.
I thought McCain had meant the START of Obama's career was in Bill Ayers living room. He meant the start of Obama's presidential camgaign? Most unfortunate.
I have thought many times, that Obama is as good as Clinton at parsing words to evade accusations. Amazing. It seems that most Democrat politicians have this ability. It's part of their training.

If we end up with this guy, and he ends up as bad as I fully expect, “conned” is the right word. And the media will have been his willing accomplice in all of this.

“there are, after all, some honest and decent people on the left.”
stopped reading right there.
haven’t met too many people on the left who are “honest and decent.” they’re invariabley hard-core haters, filled with contempt for those of us who are knuckle-dragging, bible-loving, gun-embracing morons. (donthca know the left is superior in intelligence, reasoning, and compassion, who love to call other people morons and nazis?
the lot of them can go to blazes.)
the time for communist/democrat bi-partisanship is done and the time to votes the da&nable punks out of office is past due.)

From an earlier post on another thread,
"People still speak as though the "associations" issue and the economic issue are two different things. Theyre not. ACORN wants to spread Joes wealth around. So does Bill Ayers. Thats why Obama worked with both ACORN and Ayers. Someone needs to explain all this to Joe."
One more thing, Dr. Sowell nailed another important point. The word "associations" implies a far less significant connection to radicalism than has existed. The operative word should be "alliances." An "alliance" cannot be so easily dismissed as being, "just a guy in my neighborhood." Follow the money and the political power that has accrued and will accrue to Obama through these "alliances," and people can more readily reach infomed conclusions about the link between his radical alliances and his answer to Joe.
