The Good Morning America interview with Bill Ayers went on as scheduled today, presumably because Ayers' terrorist nail bomb from Hell didn't explode New York City at 6:66am (7:06am) as he had planned. Thus, GMA viewers were subjected to minute after minute of the clownish Chris Cuomo trying multiple times to get Bill to admit that, yes, he is evil and he and Obama are BFFs, while being met with constant "I don't even know the guy"s.

The most ironic thing about watching jerky "reporters" needle and admonish Bill Ayers is that you start to go, "Man, I wish somehow we could get rid of all this traditionalist garbage and start over (without bombs, of course)."

Ever wonder where Rahm Emanuel, abrasive, nine-fingered Chicago gangster and Barack Obama's new chief of staff, got his spiteful disposition? Probably from his father, a former Israeli terrorist, who said this when asked if his son would help strengthen the Obama administration's ties to Israel:

Elisabeth Hasselbeck was invited to introduce Sarah Palin at Florida rallies over the weekend, presumably because the McCain camp knows Lissy is the best attack dog available who still believes the nonsense the right wing has been spewing. This time around she defended Palin's wardrobe, saying it doesn't matter how much money she spends as long as she wears that tiny flag pin, the sign of a good president or vice president. This was an obvious dig at Barack Obama, who is clearly a terrorist who wants to blow up America because he chose not to wear the flag pin. Genius, this lady. The most laughable aspect of this is Elisabeth's hypocrisy, claiming that Democrats refuse to focus on the REAL ISSUES when day after day she sits on The View and spews that Bill Ayers/terrorist agenda.

Luckily, not everyone is buying this foolishness: Alaska's top newspaper, the Anchorage Daily News, has officially endorsed Obama, calling the state's governor "too risky": "Gov. Palin's nomination clearly alters the landscape for Alaskans as we survey this race for the presidency — but it does not overwhelm all other judgment. The election, after all is said and done, is not about Sarah Palin, and our sober view is that her running mate, Sen. John McCain, is the wrong choice for president at this critical time for our nation." Elisabeth, care to offer a rebuttal?

Hey trembling Americans who have allowed themselves to be pummeled into fearful submission by our government's vague terror alerts and arbitrary mentions of 9/11 (this means you, GIULIANI), have we got some news for you. Recently, Al-Qaeda terrorists endorsed their pick for president via some terrorist Web site (they have those?), and you might be surprised by their choice.

The hateful, self-loathing and oft-incorrect Sarah Palin and her wild ranting about Barack Obama's "terrorist connections" got me thinking today about pop culture, language and an easily manipulated public.

For instance, it's amazing how quickly those on the far right decry Obama's ties to Weather Underground founder Bill Ayers, no matter how flimsy (or even non-existent) they might be, simply because Palin uses the dreaded t-word to describe the now professional Ayers and his former associates. I also find it to be endlessly confounding how many of my most liberal friends in New York and Los Angeles loved The Dark Knight, a movie whose main point seemed to be that the PATRIOT Act is righteous and necessary. How frightening the word terrorist has become in our zeitgeist, and how easily grand explosions and attractive movie stars can mold peoples' perceptions.

I decided to highlight this phenomenon with a non-comprehensive list of the American public's most favorite terrorists. You'll notice that many of the people after the jump have been described as "freedom fighters" (what a cute little shift in terms) by the men portraying them, all of whom are handsome and white.
