Double standards & the affirmative action candidate

"Sickening Irony" (Wide Awakes, October 19, 2008) writes:
If Barack Obama applied for a job with the FBI or the Secret Service, he would be disqualified because of his past association with William Ayers, a known terrorist. And yet, he is heading for the highest office in the land.

If Obama is elected President he would not pass the security screening to be his own body guard!

And the greatest irony is that a majority of the people in this country don’t even seem to care.
Think any Obama supporters lose sleep over this? Of course not. The Obama vote is an affirmative action vote. The national syndicated networks have made it very clear that standards to which a conservative Republican evangelical like Palin and her running-mate, McCain, are held, simply do not apply to Obama. They regard him as their pet affirmative action candidate.

By contrast, look at what conservative black leaders are saying about the election in "How should black Christians choose the next president?" (Freedoms Journal Magazine, YouTube, via Wide Awake, October 19, 2008).
