Funny how you mention blackballing. Just ask any conservative in Hollywood about blackballing/blacklists and they will give you the full truth.

Guilt by association didn't work in 2008.
It isn't going to work in 2012 after he has been POTUS for 3 years.
But this is all conservatives have...the fear game...try to scare people into voting AGAINST Obama...because they damn well know they can't try to convince people to vote FOR their candidate.

Last week's release of the Barack Obama/Derrick Bell Harvard tape was seen by many as another example of the President’s long history associating with radicals.
There is another interpretation, however. When Obama urged people to open up their hearts and minds to Bell, it was another case of him “cozying up" to an antisemite. Understand--we are not talking about people who are anti-Israel (although there is a huge crossover of the two) but people who regularly use antisemitic stereotypes or more directly derogatory comments about Jews.
Here are some examples:
And there are plenty more where that came from, including the chairman of his transition committee, John Podesta, who is now head of the Center for American Progress (CAP). Both CAP and its “child” organization, Media Matters for America (MMfA), have been cited by the Simon Wiesenthal Center for promoting the antisemitic meme that Jews are not loyal to America.
Many critics of this analysis will call the above “guilt by association;” at least, that’s what they did to similar stories in 2008.
Please understand clearly that it is not my contention that the President of the United States is an antisemite; I have seen no evidence to that fact. I do contend that he has a nasty habit of associating with Jew-haters.
Why does Barack Obama seem to gravitate to Jew-haters? Is it because he agrees with their hatred? Is he unaware? Or is he just insensitive?

Hopefully after 3 years of No Hope and No Change the free thinkers that gave Obama a chance in 2008 may now think twice and dig a little deeper regarding the past of the man who would be king.

McCarthyism is the practice of making accusations of disloyalty, subversion, or treason without proper regard for evidence.
I thought this country got through this period a long time ago....but I guess not.

The only title i would give the Us is the most screwed up country in the world.edit on 12-3-2012 by neo96 because: (no reason given)
Allowing the wealthiest in a country to dictate all the rules of society and
subverting the political process is a much more effective way to kill liberty.
That is exactly what conservatism represents, thanks.
Well obviously you "free thinkers" can't go against his record or policies...so you will just try the same old tired guilt by association.
A majority of independent voters have soured on Obama's presidency, disapprove of his handling of the economy and do not have a clear idea of what he hopes to accomplish if re-elected, the Times reported.
Only 31 percent of independent voters have a favorable opinion of the president and two-thirds say he has not made real progress in fixing the economy, the newspaper said.
In 2008, Obama won support from 52 percent of independent voters, compared with 44 percent who supported Republican presidential nominee John McCain.
