When those on the left try to push the Palin AIP thing, or to a degree the McCain Keating 5 thing, or those on the right try to push the William Ayers or Jeremiah Wright thing, or if someone even wanted to connect Palin to Muthee who has at least one unsavory incident in his past, they are all showing a certain lack of substance. Anyone who thinks Sarah Palin or Barak Obama is in any way opposed to the United States or actively supporting subversive policies with the intent on harming the U.S. is delusional. And if both believe they are working for the best interests of the United States, then we should discuss their approaches and not try to develop mistrust or mischaracterizations based on shaky associations. If someone has evidence of actual current criminal activity then let them give it and it's fair game. If all you have are speculations on character based on someone in a candidate's social network, then please spend your time on something productive and tangible and stop wasting everyone's time.
