And liberals are always using the FOIA to get private, public info. Unless the spotlight is shown on them.

Hey, if you don't sustain or believe in what Mormons preach, why belong? Go where you are more comfortable. Join the "Tears for Obama" Church.

I know it's hard for you when I point out the joint hypocrisies of the liberals and the Mormon church.

I think it's funny that you condemn liberals but give the Mormon church a free pass.

Well, conservatives, never are known for their consistency or intellectual rigor.

The guy is a professor and activist on the left-wing side.

Obama is a left-wing politician, professor, and activist.

They both live in the same area.

Their paths crossed in their activism and politics.

Wow, that's amazing.

If this was the only relationship of his that was questionable, maybe (am I'm not conceding your point) you could say that, but this is hardly the first long-term relationship that is very problematic for Obama.

What I find telling is that an unrepentant terrorist is now considered a respectable member of the liberal academic establishment. Speaks volumes if you ask me.

But when you have virtually no political track record to judge someone by, you are left trying to fill in the blanks to see if you can trust them to make good judgments and be a good leader, so it becomes more important with someone like Obama than with most other presidential candidates.
