c'mon now - this has to be parody, right?

I rarely read Michelle Malkin's blog because I know that she is usually simply a right-wing parrot.
But after clicking on some one's link and seeing some of her recent posts, I have to think that this blog has been taken over by someone parodying a right-wing stance.
In a post from today she quotes this as somehow indicating that Obama "botched" a response in last night's debate:

MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Senator, if you get the nomination, you’ll have to —(applause) — (inaudible).

I want to give Senator Clinton a chance to respond, but first a follow-up on this issue, the general theme of patriotism in your relationships. A gentleman named William Ayers, he was part of the Weather Underground in the 1970s. They bombed the Pentagon, the Capitol and other buildings. He’s never apologized for that. And in fact, on 9/11 he was quoted in The New York Times saying, “I don’t regret setting bombs; I feel we didn’t do enough.”

An early organizing meeting for your state senate campaign was held at his house, and your campaign has said you are friendly. Can you explain that relationship for the voters, and explain to Democrats why it won’t be a problem?

SEN. OBAMA: George, but this is an example of what I’m talking about.

This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who’s a professor of English in Chicago, who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He’s not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.

And the notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values, doesn’t make much sense, George.

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.

So this kind of game, in which anybody who I know, regardless of how flimsy the relationship is, is somehow — somehow their ideas could be attributed to me — I think the American people are smarter than that. They’re not going to suggest somehow that that is reflective of my views, because it obviously isn’t.

Wow! That's supposed to be a bad response?!
It points out the absurdity of the argument while simultaneously showing that repugs are far worse than the "terrorist" that they are attempting to smear Obama with. Simple association does not equal agreement with some one's opinions. Hell, I think that my wife is one of the most incredible people on the planet and even we don't agree on everything.

And, by the way, someone asking for the death penalty for doctors providing a much needed service to women certainly cannot be called "pro-life" by any stretch of the imagination!
