"The FBI report on the Weather Underground states, under the title of 'WUO Bombings and Attempted Bombings,' that on February 16, 1970, 'A bomb detonated at the Golden Gate Park Branch of the San Francisco Police Department killing one officer and injuring a number of other policemen.'

no Shelby, that's the problem with guilt by association -

i can say Keating is a "crook" and he was convicted of something. i can say McCain was closely associated with Keating - both socially and thru his wife's businesses. therefore , I can say McCain associates with crooks. therefore he might be a crook.

it's the same logic that is used to make Obama a terrorist. You can say Ayers is a terrorist (although he was never convicted of anything). you can say Obama had a casual association with Ayers - but only as board members of a non-profit organization. therefore, you can say Obama associated with terrorists. therefore he might be a terrorist.

and to add icing to the cake, Obama might have been born and educated in a Muslim country. therefore he might be a Muslim, which would make him a Muslim terrorist.

that's how easy it is to construct quilt by association. you have to be willing to believe the most negative interpretation of each of those statements, but you could get there for both McCain and Obama.
