[Vision2020] A Plea to Saundra Lund

Mon Oct 20 22:05:28 PDT 2008

So what is your thesis, here?  That Barack Obama is a closet domestic 
terrorist?  That he wants to take down the government from the top 
down?  That he wants to open our defenses and invite the terrorists in 
to trash our country as they please?  I don't get what the implications 
are of Obama knowing someone else who was a "domestic terrorist" when 
Obama was eight years old.

What's the actual point you're trying to make?
