I have no doubt that if it was shown President Bush or Senator McCain
had any kind of connection whatsoever to Mark Rudd, John Jacobs, Bill
Ayers, Jim Mellen, Terry Robbins,
Karen Ashley, Jeff Jones, Gerry Long, Steve Tappis, Mark Rudd or David
Gilbert you people would be screaming impeach impeach impeach,
invalidate, invalidate, invalidate as loudly as your collective voices
would allow.
Perhaps the "youthful indiscretions" of Ayers, Dohrn, Thomas Good,
Carl Davidson, Mike Klonsky et al. could be forgiven and forgotten as
just that if they were to offer even a modicum of repentance and
regret for their past behaviors. Unfortunately, their current stand
is "the only thing we regret we didn't do more then, and we'd love to
do more now". So yes Mr Rumelhart, I believe there is quite a bit to
fear, and my greatest fears are that when more-likely-than-not
President Obama begins to tear this country apart it's going to make
the loss of "civil liberties" under the Bush administration look like
chump change, and those who proudly put Obama there will say exactly
what they say now: "So what".
