This from Newsbusters.
Prefacing the issue under the “general theme of patriotism,” and previous questions about why Obama has, at times, refused to wear an American flag lapel pin, Stephanopoulos noted, “[Ayers] never apologized for [the bombings]. And in fact, on 9/11, he was quoted in the New York Times, saying, ‘I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.’” The ABC host pointedly observed that Obama’s campaign has described the relationship with Ayers as “friendly.” Stephanopoulos then asked, “Can you explain that relationship for the voters and explain to Democrats why it won’t be a problem?”
Obama’s response included stating that Ayers's actions happened when he was very young and asserted they weren’t relevant. Oddly, he went on to compare a man who was involved in bombings that killed people to his colleague, Republican Senator Tom Coburn from Oklahoma. Obama stated, “The fact is that I’m also friendly with Tom Coburn, one of the most conservative Republicans in the United States Senate, who during his campaign once said that it might be appropriate to apply the death penalty to those who carried out abortions."
But "oddly?" Not at all. He sees the actions of Ayers as moral. Ayers is attacking the "enemy," who is engaged in "immoral acts." In this case the defense of the country. Hussein also sees that Coburn is attacking the "enemy." In this case those who carry out abortions and thus engage in "immoral acts."
In his mind the actions are equal. Both are attacking what each see as evil. What Hussein has told us is that he cannot distinguish between right and wrong. He lives in a world of no absolutes. Thus he is comfortable with Ayers, and his Reverend and Rezko and Senator Coburn.....
That is a frightening thought about a man who would be President. Doubly so in a time of war.
