Michelle Obama Alinsky

At a time when the name of Barack's bomber buddy Bill Ayers is staining the airwaves and the Obama campaign is attempting damage control by attempting to quash the free speech of an independent group, what in God's name possessed Michelle Obama to invoke the sentiments of radical Saul Alinsky--unless it is ingrained. HT Gateway Pundit. Gee, how come the Tribune didn't mention this--their headline isolated the quote in question.

So there you have it--Michelle Obama is a radical sympathizer too. Not a surprise. Not a surprise at all. I guess Barack wasn't kidding when he said she was a fellow traveler. He meant to suggest ordinary women would identify with her. I don't think so.

As National Review puts it, this time about Ayers, how many domestic terrorists do you know?

UPDATE: Rush is all over the Obama-Alinsky connection. Washington Post describes Barack's counterattack on the Ayers connection:

Obama campaign lawyer Robert F. Bauer replied: "If someone rides up to a convenience store with a sawed-off shotgun and a prior record, I'm not intimidating anybody by calling the cops. . . . If this [Republican] campaign is going to be run in McCarthyite fashion by lawbreakers in an illegal way, they are going to pay a price.

Um. Gasp. Such loose talk and calumny. A prior record? A sawed-off shotgun? How about a bomb? (Isn't a bomb illegal too?)
