Stanley Kurtz finds "Something New Here":
During his first campaign for the Illinois state senate in 1995-96, Barack Obama was a member of, and was endorsed by, the far-left New Party. Obama’s New Party ties give the lie to his claim to be a post-partisan, post-ideological pragmatist. Particularly in Chicago, the New Party functioned as the electoral arm of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). So despite repeated attempts to distance himself from ACORN, Obama’s New Party ties raise disturbing questions about his links to those proudly militant leftists. The media’s near-total silence on this critical element of Obama’s past is deeply irresponsible.
Hmmm, ya think!? This is especially true given the media scrutiny of Sarah Palin's much more tenuous connections with the Alaska Independence Party.
It's almost enough to make one think that there's a double standard or something.
