Need help refuting some claims about Obama

[justiceischeap]

A friend of mine has written the following to me:

You think Obama is more qualified then Palin? He was in the state senate for 1 year when he started running for office. He has never made any “changes” to Washington. Look at his Chicago district that he left in shambles. Look at all of his corrupt, racist and terrorist ties. How do you think he has gotten so far so fast? It is not because he was fighting corruption, he was embracing it. As a designer and marketer I would think you would be able to see through this over marketed, BS. I agree that a woman like Clinton would have been a much better choice. But, if my choices are between a grossly under-qualified, corrupt politician (Obama) and someone who actually has executive experience (Palin) and has fought corruption, then I pick the latter of the two and pray for Clinton in 2012.

I want to send a well-thought out reply to the bolded points (I got the others handled.)

Thanks for any help provided!

2. I'm looking specifically for the info about the woman who endorsed McCain that appointed Obama

to the same board that Ayers was on.

P.S. Thanks for that link, I forgot about that.

7. Annenberg. Ayers sits on the Annenberg foundation and she

supports McCain. So McCain is only slightly less of a pal of terrorists than Obama. But this is bullshit. Bill Ayers is not a terrorist. Bill Ayers was an anti war protestor who went too far a long time ago. A long time later, Bill was a well respected university professor and an all around do-gooder in the Hyde Park area where and Obama had a passing acquaintance. I thought the religiously afflicted believed in redemption.

3. Your friend is a rightwing idiot. Consider new friends.

Hyde Park is in shambles? Odd. My kid goes to school there. It actually isn't in shambles at all.

Please have that asshole freeper idiot your friend list Obama's corrupt racist terrorist ties. Let me guess: Bill Ayers, who was protesting the Vietnam War in an inappropriate fashion back when Obama was 8, Rev Wright, who is not a racist but who had a habit of making some rather colorful and inflammatory sermons in Obama's former church, and Tony Rezko, who had some corruption problems none of which involved Obama. Is that all your freeper friend has got?

6. I believe that's all my freeper friend has

And in my defense, I didn't know she was a freeper until I received this back and forth from her... I assumed because she's a lesbian, she'd support Obama for his stance on GLBT issues. Talk about voting against your own self-interests.

8. As an atheist let me be the first to say

Jesus Christ your Freeper Friend is a Lesbian? That is one twisted sister.

5. Tell them to ask John McCain what he thinks of Obama.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Oh and if the person is going to compare how Obama left his district to how Palin left Wasilla, you have already won.
