Obama: Senator Tom Coburn Equivalent To A Terrorist

Barack Obama was finally asked to explain his friendship with William Ayers, an unrepentant domestic terrorist. He responded by comparing Ayers to his fellow US senator, Tom Coburn.

The fact is, is that I'm also friendly with Tom Coburn, one of the most conservative Republicans in the United States Senate, who during his campaign once said that it might be appropriate to apply the death penalty to those who carried out abortions.

Do I need to apologize for Mr. Coburn's statements? Because I certainly don't agree with those either.

But, of course, Hillary has her own terrorist problems.

After Mrs. Clinton criticized Mr. Obama for not severing all Ayers ties, Mr. Obama said, “By Senator Clinton’s own vetting standards, I don’t think she would make it, since President Clinton pardoned or commuted the sentences of two members of the Weather Underground.”

That referred to commutations by Mr. Clinton in January 2001, shortly before leaving office, for Linda Evans and Susan Rosenberg. Ms. Evans had been convicted of weapons and explosives charges connected with eight bombings in the mid-’80s and sentenced to 40 years in prison. Ms. Rosenberg had been charged in connection with a 1981 armed robbery in which two police officers and a security guard were killed, and was serving 58 years after being convicted of weapons charges in a 1984 case.

And, when she was first seeking political office, her husband bought votes for her in the Puerto Rican community by pardoning terrorists.

Update: Obama lied.

This is getting to be a habit with him.
