Sad…

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms reports today that a plot to assassinate Sen. Obama has been broken up by the agency.

Apparently the plan was to assassinate Obama and shoot or decapitate 102 black people in a Tennessee murder spree.

With the historic nature of this election and possibly the presidency, we always worried that plots like this were bound to happen… but thankfully this was learned about early on and it was stopped.

People like this will do their best to make us afraid to pull that lever for Mr. Obama… but we must… and I remember what Michelle Obama said about fear months ago; “You can't make decisions based on fear and the possibility of what might happen.”

Remember that.

Politicians in glass houses… etc, etc.

The McPalin camp wants us to believe that Obama has associations with Bill Ayers, a 60’s radical with the Weathermen… never mind that Obama was all of 8 years old when Ayers group committed those crimes.

This is guilt by association because Obama and Ayers were on the board of a charity together.

Imagine if all of us were guilty by living in the same neighborhood and working in the same place as a questionable person…. would that mean that we are all guilty by association and proximity?

Give me a break…

And what of McCain? Do you really expect the American people to believe that in their years of public service, they’ve never been associated with someone whose reputation was less than stellar.

Come on John, surely you can name one {cough cough – Keating 5 – cough cough}…

And you Ms. Palin; you’re associated with a group that wants Alaska to succeed from the US… you’re also associated with a pastor that’s said some pretty radical things himself… and yet here you are, throwing stones when your glass house (or should I say ‘igloo’) is chock-full of the same.

If the McPalin camp wants to open this war, then it’s up to the Progressive Blogosphere to strike back on behalf of the Obama campaign.

Starting now.
