So, Sarah Palin has been throwing monkey poop at Obama for the last three days trying to revive this controversy over the Weathermen founder William Ayers or Reverend Wright. Considering that Hillary tried all this bullshit in the public market 4 or 5 months ago, I'd say that Palin is acting like quite the Maverick.

I personally believe that Obama's relationship with this reformed 60's radical domestic terrorist guy is ACTUALLY COMMENDABLE! Think about it...working with a guy like Ayers on any initiative can only be portrayed as a negative in the political spotlight. Ayers was an aspiring terrorist at one time and that rightfully carries with it a hugely negative connotation. Obama worked with him on education initiatives in the city of Chicago in the early to mid 90's. Obama is a man who obviously has had ambition and dreams of national political office for some time and working with a former terrorist on anything, no matter how altruistic could easily derail any dreams of establishing a career in the US Senate or the White House. But, for the good of his community in Chicago and for the good of the children and their school system, Obama put aside his personal career goals and worked with the people who could get the job done. That says something about his character. It says that he is not blind with ambition for power, but that he is blind with ambition to better his community. He will bring that blind community betterment mentality to the White House and that is a character trait that I can appreciate and even admire.

The part that makes me want to cry (literally. I'm pregnant. It's allowed.) is that while giving this speech denouncing Obama's "terrorist" connections, Palin's supporters were in the audience screaming racist epithets both regarding Obama and African American journalists who were present.

Yeah, Republicans. That's a community of voters you should be really effing proud to have backing you.
