It used to be giving women the right to vote was a radical idea...

Short answer? No. However, your comment about "oh, it's the LIE that REALLY bothers me" was interesting, in light of this bit of news I just posted.

I don't think protesting the Vietnam war was that radical.

and there's no evidence that Bill and Barack sat around yucking it up saying "hey man - that was cool what you did."

Apparently you did not read my entire reply.

So then can we assume you'll condemn Ayers, since he never recanted those views, has gone on record saying "My only regret is that we didn't do more"?

I once helped a 10 yo girl through a community mentoring program--met with her weekly after school, helped her with homework, took her to social activities and tried to be a positive influence in her life. After 1.5 years, I felt I was not getting through to her and she seemed to be losing interest in meeting with me.

A couple of years ago she, along with four others, was convicted of murdering an elderly couple during a robbery. That crime took place when she was 16--the investigation had been closed, and later reopened.

I probably spent more time with that girl than Obama spent with Ayers. Does that make me a murderer? Does that mean that I tolerate murder?

How does your mind work?
