    The sad part is that Bush thought that we [the American people] were the dumb ones. He actually spoke down to us and treated us as children. Doesn't that make anyone feel a little embarrassed? Perhaps that is acceptable for the republicans after all those years of being manipulated by Rove and Cheny.

    Newsweek: "...The vast flow of information unleashed by the revolution in media technology defined issues and character at warp speed. For months, the worst rumors and conspiracy theories had been aimed at Obama: ..., he was close friends with a former Weatherman bomber from the '60s...."
    Obama and Ayers, the Ultra left wing left -wing Weatherman terrorist, weren't exactly stangers.
    The reference to Sarah Palin reading John Birch Society magazines is attributed to a photo of her with a JBS reprint on her desk. The reprint was an a JBS article on the Conference of The States proposal . The New American Magazine called reader's attnetion to this fact. It mentioned that a constitutional convention was being peddled by former Utah Governor Mike Leavett. She and other members of the City Council of that small Alaska town were also given the same article ,the gist of which was an Article V call for a Constitutional Convention by Governor Leavett. The Governor was using a "conference of The States" as the pretext to call another constitutional convention . The John Birch Society as well as other groups, as People For The American Way, some labor Unions and organizations one normally associates with liberalism, were opposed to the Conference of The States Con -Con also!
