Obama and Ayers

Your reading of Plato is shallow at best. Most important of all in the Republic (which, of course, could never actually exist), is the presence of philosopher rulers. Wisdom, courage, and knowledge of the true nature of justice. Please don't try to warp Plato's text into your own crude attempt at proving Obama's illegitimacy as a leader. Also, associating Obama with Ayer is an equally poor attempt at a "guilty by association" argument, anyone could cite dozens of sketchy (try neo-nazi?) figures associated with McCain...but this is not important. I, for one, am more concerned with talking about the candidates than talking about people who know the candidates. You should be, too. Conservative Common Sense? Shove it, learn some Greek, and try understanding Plato, Obama, and the poor state this country is in thanks to the policies of conservatives like yourself.
