Campbell Brown Cavorts With Felons

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  October 7th, 2008 at 11:48 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Campbell Brown is at it again. Having bashed Sarah Palin from the moment she was picked, Brown is out bashing Palin for going after Obama’s ties to Bill Ayers.

Brown writes, “To say, as Gov. Sarah Palin is now doing, that Barack Obama pals around with terrorists is just outrageous.”

Why exactly is that outrageous? Obama worked for Ayers. Obama fundraised in Ayers’ house. Obama socialized with Ayers, though he tries to minimize those contacts in the press.

It is no more outrageous than saying Campbell Brown cavorts with felons. After all, her dad is Jim Brown, the corrupt former Insurance Commissioner of Louisiana, who is now a convicted felon.

It is the truth. So is what Palin said. Deal with it, Campbell.

    …on her own network and less time reading David Gergen’s vapid nonsense off her teleprompter.

    Barry wasn’t helping Ayers pick nectarines in his neighborhood grocery store, he was working for Ayers on a mutual agenda to radicalize the Chicago School System.

    the folks on my blog did not know this. now they do.

    Marginally-talented news hack at CNN. Usually has an axe to grind, but is most of the time able to hide behind Cafferty (who is a raving nutjob writ large) to appear “balanced”.

    And I only thought it was Republicans who were corrupt…Well, I just learned something new today!!!(sarcasm)

  • cawest

    I think we need to be a little more balanced here. To suggest all these people both McCain, Obama, and Campbell Brown are associated with fellons and are liars doesn’t help anybody. If they were all criminals they would be behind bars.

  • CSUFBomb

    …is really just a whine about negative campaigning against Barry.

    Perhaps McCain wouldn’t have to attack Obama’s connections with Ayers and other seedy Chicago lowlifes if CNN had done an objective vetting of Obama. Drew Griffin’s piece last night was a great start, but why did it take 18 months?

    Perhaps McCain wouldn’t have to attack Obama’s incestuous relationship with Fannie Mae if CNN had done its job and investigated the Democratic Party’s refusal to regulate Fannie & Freddie while pushing subprime loans like they were street heroin for the past decade.

    Campbell Brown needs to look in the mirror and ask herself if the tone would be different if she and her employer were as tenacious in vetting Obama as you have been in vetting Palin.

    I find it tiring the argument of “McCain is playing the guilty by association!!”

    Replace the “by” with “OF” and there you have the argument McCain is legitimately making. Obama is guilty OF associating with known terrorists.

    Why is it important? Because it shows a lack of judgement I would prefer my President to possess when deciding which world leaders he’s gonna consort with.

    Just a simple AMEN!

    sounded like Campbell…no–Brigette Bar-…uh, Madonna… msn…nbc…a-b…
    Yecchh–all swirlin’ toward the bottom of the–poof!
    They’re gone! And I feel so much better now.
    Headed out to buy toilet paper again. (Gawd, don’t we all wish it were that easy?)

  • larueladue

    Or perhaps they have finished their sentences… Doesn’t matter, it still makes them felons…

    And who associated McCain with felons?

    And by way, felon is spelled with one “L”…

  • cawest

    Charles Keating was not a felon? Perhaps google would be of assistance to you to clear of mccains associations with shady characters as well. My point is that pretty much everyone can be associated with bad people. It doesn’t mean that they are bad themselves which I don’t why that is so hard to understand? Instead in our gotcha media and politics both sides are willing to jump to false accusations and petty assertions. I want the candidates to talk about the issues and how they are going to solve the problems this great nation faces!

  • Pomme

    We all know bad people. Some of us are related to those bad people.

    Most of us do not take advice from those bad people.

    McCain was exonerated from K5, give it a rest. Obama still associates with people who did/are doing bad things. Your point?

  • larueladue

    I don’t believe in the generalization that we all know and associate with “bad” people. Not all of us do, and not a lot of us actively listen and take counsel from such people, when we know what they have done and what they stand for.

    And as for the issues: most Presidential elections are character elections, not issues elections. And this one especially so. So, friends and associates DO matter..

    Nice try on the deflection, but it came off weak…
