Mickey Mouse For Obama

Obamist “Mickey Mouse” election insurance program hits a snag as multiple law enforcement agencies investigate allegations of widespread ACORN voter registration fraud.
Could look bad, given Obama’s deep ties with ACORN. Even deeper than his (known) ties with unrepentent ex-terrorist Ayers.
No worries. Just report it as a McCain smear. And dismiss it with a disparagement of poor [...]

NYT examines the Ayers-Obama link. It’s about sporadic path-crossing, bygones, rehabilitation and a sort of non-contagious fellow-traveling. Includes radical assurances that Obam is no radical. Director Blue casts a more jaundiced eye at the bygones, the ex-Weathermen Obama fan club, the fellow-traveling. It’s about dead cops, dead marines, and their killers.
