of course not. i would really like to see who on ff does see things that way. be honest folks. step up - Cee Bee

No, no, and heck no! - Alex Scoble

No, of either candidate. A foul accusation, used simply because it's so vivid in the American psyche and is therefore a highly powerful way of defaming someone. It's use shows a cruel and desperate mind. The British used to use it against Indian nationals that were fighting for independence. It's a classic ploy. - Mo Kargas

I honestly am not trying to headhunt or anything like that, I'm just curious as to who would seriously believe this type of stuff and why. Are people in America that scared? I also added the "fair game" part because, even if you don't believe it, how can you vote for an organization that would do this? - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF

Your questions indicate your own bias, so they're obviously not worth answering. - Glen Campbell, B.A.

First off I want you to define terrorist... Second if association with someone effectively puts you in the same pail as them, then McCain has a lot to answer too. I truly thought we were done with McCarthyism. - CW™

Where I live there are definitely people who question Obama's pedigree, for lack of a better term. For many of them it's the name, plain and simple. For someone of average intelligence who's seen 6-7 years of 'Arabs' attacking the US and bombing us abroad, the name + the insinuations are all it takes. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Not sure where my bias is 1) All that obvious or 2) pertinent to this conversation. If you weren't going to bother with a useful comment, I don't understand why you bothered at all. - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF

I think its a (not so) thinly veiled attempt to play on peoples fear and bigotry. If they thought it would win the election they would call him a [the N-Word] - J. Abdul-Qahhar

John McCain spelled backwards is BIN LADIN! - €€€€€€€€

how are these questions biased in any way? just answer the questions man. - Cee Bee

Palin's connections are a factor of 100x more scary than Obama's. Why she's not being crucified for being a secessionist is beyond me - Duncan Riley

I don't, at all. I would really like to see all of the candidates answer that question, directly. Not with a nod, wink, or "... well, you know, he/she was seen with so and so..." Campaigns have always traded in innuendo, but this has been whipped up to such a frenzied level that it makes a mockery of the whole process. (something I would have thought was hard to do, up until this point) - Jennifer Dittrich

Rah: no, cubed. - Steven Perez

fear is not a campaign strat. those who use it are devoid of principle as well as merit. - MikeAmundsen

A terrorist attempts to control you through fear. Isn't that usually what most politicians do? Aren't most people that make political contributions "funding terrorists"? Is McCain any different? Is Obama? Is any politician? Which politician doesn't use fear as a tool, in some way, to get votes? - April Russo (app103)
