What does the Wife/Lover murdering OJ Simpson have to do with Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers or Acorn?
I will lay it out for you. I guess I did not articulate my point as well as I would have liked.
Obama was only 8 years old when Ayers was doing what he was doing...so what is wrong with him being his friend now?
MY son was a fetus when OJ murdered 2 people...so should it be OK for my son to befriend OJ now?
The motive of OJ was murder. The motive of the Weather Underground was to stop the killing of American and Asians in Vietnam. OJ is a cold bloodied killer. The Weathermen and the Weather Underground never targeted people and like the Jewish Underground fighting in the English in Palestine, they warned anyone who would listen that there was a bomb about to explode!
Wright was a Marine. A war hero. How can one criticize a man like that!
OJ was a gridiron hero. A law abiding citizen. A legend. A hall of famer. Does that preclude him from criticism for his subsequent actions?
You're comparing a Murderous ex NFL star to a decorated marine who criticized the action of this country and was unfairly demonsize by the right wing zealots
Acron was not found guilty of wrongdoing although there mostycertainly has been plenty of evidence showing otherwsie...from voter resgistration inconsisencies to videos...but non conclusive
OJ was never found guilty of the crimes as the eviodence was not conclusive. Does that make him innocent of any crime?
Now...if you still dont see the point I am making...then it is simply becuase you dont want to.
Again it's apples to wood planks. Acorn was unfairly judge based on the highly edited tapes O'Keefe and Giles used. If you think OJ was unfairly judged, well that's your problem. I think he got his in the civil case against him however.
I see the points you're trying to make, I just don't think they works. But I do appriciate your civility(as opposed to the poster I was originally responding too).
opps
We see it differently not making either of us right or wrong.
The weather underground DID use violent tactics. They DID target some people here in the NYC area. Whether their goals were for what they perceived as "good" or not is irrelevant....viloence for the sake of making a point is wrong in my eyes.
Acorn was not unfairly judged in my eyes. They opened themselves up to it. The tapes were edited, but no one said that they were edited for an agenda....something I noticed you quoted earlier....If you notice...it referred to a "source" that said it was obviously edited to meet an agenda.
Well...in all my life, I have never known a police press release about a case they were dropping refuse to reveal the name of the one releasing it..
You see...you believe it becuase you want to believe it.
I dont believe it becuase I dont want to believe it.
And thus why this forum exists I guess.
