These people are WAY closer to McCain/Palin than Ayers and even Rezko were to Obama.

The ONLY thing that's really ever had any marked impact on Obama's polling numbers was the Rev. Wright association. So we can expect that to worm its way back to the surface, despite Obama's very public split with the man, and despite the damage it does to the Obama Is Muslim meme that's still out there--although anyone who still thinks that can't really be accused of thinking very much, so the disconnect may pass un-noted. It certainly won't have the same impact it had when it was first revealed. There may be something to that "vetting-the-candidate-in-a-tough-primary" thing.

Back to the OP: I saw a comment on a blog the other day that went roughly, "These liberals, all they got is name calling. McSame, McOld, whatever. It's pathetic. Besides, everyone knows Osama just wants to tax us into the ground and open us up to terrorist attack...."

So.... When you call names, that's calling names. When I call names, that's legitimate political discourse. Makes sense.
