[OFB Cafe] Political Challenge

[Steven Hatfield]

Republican reasoning: "Obama was in the same room as Ayres, so he must  
be a terrorist."

I was once in a room with Lou Ferrigno... does that mean that I'm a  
super hero too? If so, I declare today to be "Steve's a super hero  
day" and I want my super power to be that we all get to take the day  
off from work!

Palin actively supports an Iranian backed terrorist organization that  
hates America. And she's incredibly ambitious. Well, if McCain wins, I  
have some words of warning for him, and for my fellow Americans: "Be  
afraid. Be very afraid."
