Since I’ve been predicting this for months now, I find it unsurprising: Senator McCain is openly going after some of the slimeballs in Senator Obama’s background.
This is absolutely unsurprising. It is also, in my view, absolutely appropriate. McCain himself has been, and will be, asked tough questions about questionable figures in his past, like the Keating Five scandal. The Obamessiah and his followers have no right to expect anything less. Indeed, it would be almost criminally negligent to not raise such questions. We’re electing a Commander In Chief, not a Policy Wonk And Cheerleader In Chief.

So, just in case anyone is wondering, there’s this little thing about becoming President called the “Oath of Office” in that oath the elected President swears to “defend the Constitution against any threats, foreign or domestic.”
When a group like “The Weathermen” take the law into their own hands and set bombs which kill people in order to advance their own agenda, they are at war with the Constitution of this country, which promises protection from such violence, and due process for accused criminals.
So when Obama embraces members of terrorist groups who are openly unrepentant (how much more openly can you get than a New York Times interview?) and who wish only that they had “set more bombs” he is siding with the enemies of the Constitution.
And that makes him unfit for the office. Period.

Making war against the United States government is also known as treason, and is in fact the only thing in the entire U.S. Constitution that is described explicitly as a capital offense.
Yet everyone involved with the Weather Underground, which quite literally issued a war declaration against the U.S. government, and carried out multiple terrorist attacks which some of them are still proud of today, by and large got slap-on-the-wrist sentences or no real punishment at all.
Why ask Obama about this? Simple: I think for most voters, if he just said, “Holy crap, I had no idea that’s what these people were about!” they’d probably forgive it and move on. Yelling that it’s all a “smear campaign,” however, isn’t going to do him much good at all, since that only convinces those who will vote for him no matter what anyway.
