The media is doing its best to deflect any and all criticism aimed at Barrack Obama. As we inch closer and closer to the election, the media is dutifully following the orders of Dearest Obama and is not researching any of Obama’s questionable friends or stories. That leaves the vetting to  ’the vast right wing conspiracy’.

Of course the media is going to counter attack and bog us down by covering the election battlefield with enough mud that what we’re saying gets lost in the eyes of voters. They hope to turn stomachs of independent and swing voters so they ignore it all and vote as uninformed persons with out the facts of just how anti-American Obama’s closest political confidants really are. 

Thomas Sowell does a great job of focusing attention on the real story of Obama’s not so past and present. 

Jeremiah Wright, Father Michael Pfleger, William Ayers and Antoin Rezko are not just people who happened to be at the same place at the same time as Barack Obama. They are people with whom he chose to ally himself for years, and with some of whom some serious money changed hands.

Some gave political support, and some gave financial support, to Obama’s election campaigns, and Obama in turn contributed either his own money or the taxpayers’ money to some of them. That is a familiar political alliance– but an alliance is not just an “association” from being at the same place at the same time.

Obama could have allied himself with all sorts of other people. But, time and again, he allied himself with people who openly expressed their hatred of America. No amount of flags on his campaign platforms this election year can change that.

It is a great piece. Make sure you check it out, especially since the media is going on counter offensive and now attacking McCain.
