Speaking of Ties to "Terrorists"....

There are many reasons not to buy into Palin's (and McCain's) claptrap talk about Obama being linked to "terrorists," (including the fact that basically every investigation has shown little beyond occasional run-ins), and I'm sure I'm not the first one to bring this up.

That said, it's really, really, REALLY hard to swallow "terrorist" claims from a campaign that embraces Henry Kissinger, given how Kissinger intentionally worked to overthrow democratically elected leaders and actively worked to implant and support regimes murderous in Chile, Argentina, (to mention only a few just in Latin America) that collectively used state-sponsored terrorism to kill more than 34,000 of their own citizens. But calling out Kissinger for war crimes and crimes against humanity - that's just crazy-talk from obvious anti-American radicals!

.....and if the Kissinger link weren't bad enough, Dave reminds us of McCain's "Nazi fetishist" friend. I'll say this for the McCain campaign: I've never seen a campaign at any level that was so willing to rely almost entirely upon arguments against their opponent (Obama's inexperienced; Biden's old; ties to "terrorists") that the candidates levelling the charges were even more guilty of (Palin's "experience"; McCain at 72; Kissinger and Liddy). It would be funny if it weren't so real....
