Obama’s New Bill Ayers Lie
By Larry Johnson on September 12, 2008 at 9:12 AM in Current Affairs
We now know that Barack Obama lied about his relationship with the Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers in the ABC News sponsored debate during the Pennsylvania primary. How do we know? In an interview with Bill O’Reilly of Fox News, Obama discloses new details that contradict his account given in response to a question from George Stephanopoulos about Ayers.
When Obama was asked about Ayers by George Stephanopolus Barack said he was someone who happened to live in his neighborhood, was a professor of English and didn’t exchange ideas with him “on a regular basis.
But Obama told Fox News’ O’Reilly a different story that was allowed to pass unchallenged. Bill O’Reilly demonstrated he had not done his homework on this matter. Obama said he knew Bill Ayers from his work on education–Ayers is a professor of education, something Obama seemed to know very well. That he met him early in his time in Chicago dating from the 1980s, that he proposed a bill in the Illinois state senate on violent youth offenders that Ayers advocated, and that they regularly worked for years on the Woods Fund exchanging ideas and providing grants.
Why does it matter? Obama has hidden his relationship with an unrepentant terrorist–someone who bombed the US Capitol, the Pentagon and was a leader of a group that murdered police. It’s a cover-up. Obama has told a series of lies to prevent people from finding out the truth. Obama knew Ayers had been a terrorist when he was involved with him. But he defends his relationship by claiming that the mayor of Chicago didn’t object to Ayers, who just happens to come from one of the wealthiest, best connected families in the city. Here Obama is suggesting a deeper motive for his relationship that is even more unsavory. He was willing to associate with a terrorist out of personal ambition, because of what Ayers and his family and their connections could do for Obama. And he refuses to acknowledge or explain his role as President of the Board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge:
Now he has made the Democrats vulnerable to his cover-up and lies about his relationship with a terrorist. What will the Republicans do with this silver bullet?
Here is what Obama told Stephanopoulos:
STEPHANOPOULOS: And, Senator, if you get the nomination, you’ll have…
(APPLAUSE)
… to beat back these distractions.
And I want to give Senator Clinton a chance to respond, but first a follow-up on this issue, 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?
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 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, that 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.
CLINTON: Well, I think that is a fair general statement, but I also believe that Senator Obama served on a board with Mr. Ayers for a period of time, the Woods Foundation, which was a paid directorship position.
And, if I’m not mistaken, that relationship with Mr. Ayers on this board continued after 9/11 and after his reported comments, which were deeply hurtful to people in New York and, I would hope, to every American, because they were published on 9/11, and he said that he was just sorry they hadn’t done more.
And what they did was set bombs. And in some instances, people died. So it is — I think it is, again, an issue that people will be asking about.
And I have no doubt — I know Senator Obama’s a good man and I respect him greatly, but I think that this is an issue that certainly the Republicans will be raising.
And it goes to this larger set of concerns about how we are going to run against John McCain. You know, I wish the Republicans would apologize for the disaster of the Bush-Cheney years and not run anybody, just say that it’s time for the Democrats to go back into the White House.
(APPLAUSE)
Unfortunately, they don’t seem to be willing to do that. So we know that they’re going to be out there, full force.
And, you know, I’ve been in this arena for a long time. I have a lot of baggage, and everybody has rummaged through it for years.
(LAUGHTER)
And so, therefore, I have an opportunity to come to this campaign with a very strong conviction and feeling that I will be able to withstand whatever the Republicans send our way.
Now, here is what he told O’Reilly:
OBAMA: In both his case and Father Pfleger’s case, they’ve done great work in the community, and I worked in some very poor communities. That’s how I got to know these folks because I was working in these neighborhoods. Now, on this Ayers thing, would you — you know, you’ve been hyping, Bill, pretty good.
O’REILLY: Not that much. You know, you were on the Woods Foundation.
OBAMA: Well, but here’s the bottom line.
O’REILLY: Yes.
OBAMA: This guy did something despicable 40 years ago.
O’REILLY: You know, he did something despicable last week. He said he didn’t do enough bombings. That’s last week.
OBAMA: I haven’t seen the guy in a year-and-a-half. But…
O’REILLY: But you know who he was. He’s on the Woods Foundation board. You know he…
OBAMA: Let me finish my point, all right? Here’s a guy who does something despicable when I’m 8 years old.
O’REILLY: OK.
OBAMA: All right? I come to Chicago. He’s working with Mayor Richard Daley, not known to be a radical. So, he and I know each other as a consequence of work he’s doing on education. That is not an endorsement of his views. That’s not…
O’REILLY: Yes, but you guys partnered up on a youth crime bill. Do you remember that?
OBAMA: And it was a good bill.
O’REILLY: No, it wasn’t. That bill said that if a youth commits a second violent felony, he does time in an adult prison. That’s two shots. You said no. You know the Southside of Chicago. You know how many people are hurt.
OBAMA: Listen, you’re absolutely right. My community gets hit by crime more than…
O’REILLY: And I’m right on that bill. You were wrong on that bill.
OBAMA: Well, I disagree with you on that bill. We’re getting too far afield here.
O’REILLY: That’s important though. You and Ayers were allied on that bill.
OBAMA: No, no. Look, he didn’t write that bill.
O’REILLY: No, he was supporting it, and so were you.
OBAMA: Well…
O’REILLY: But you guys were together on it.
OBAMA: Hold on a second. Now we’re getting…
O’REILLY: All right. If that’s unfair, I’m sorry.
OBAMA: That’s pretty flimsy. Here’s the point, right? This guy is not part of my campaign. He’s not some adviser of mine. He is somebody who worked on education issues in Chicago that I know.
The problem that your viewers, your guys that — your folks, the folks you champion, the problem you’re going through, the problems they’re going through with trying to pay their bills, trying to keep their job, trying to move up in this world, their problem isn’t Bill Ayers. It was Bill Ayers 40 years ago when he was blowing stuff up.
Sorry Barack, that does not wash. Ayers continues to insist his actions 40 years ago were right. Your acceptance of him means you have no problem associating with a guy who was part of an organization that believed it was okay to kill American police and soldiers. You’re okay with that?

Who is Sol Lewinsky? Guiliani kept talking about Sol Lewinsky giving Obama his start in community organizing.
It is Saul Alinsky, whose community organizing methodology Obama was trying to emulate. He is often referred to as a Communist.
Oh. I thank you.
One of Obama’s early mentors in the Alinsky method was Mike Kruglik, who had this to say to an interviewer of The New Republic, about Obama:
“He was a natural, the undisputed master of agitation, who could engage a room full of recruiting targets in a rapid-fire Socratic dialogue, nudging them to admit that they were not living up to their own standards. As with the panhandler, he could be aggressive and confrontational. With probing, sometimes personal questions, he would pinpoint the source of pain in their lives, tearing down their egos just enough before dangling a carrot of hope that they could make things better.”
The agitator’s job, according to Alinsky, is first to bring folks to the “realization” that they are indeed miserable, that their misery is the fault of unresponsive governments or greedy corporations, then help them to bond together to demand what they deserve, and to make such an almighty stink that the dastardly governments and corporations will see imminent “self-interest” in granting whatever it is that will cause the harassment to cease.
In these methods, euphemistically labeled “community organizing,” Obama had a four-year education, which he often says was the best education he ever got anywhere.
http://www.theobamafile.com/ObamaPolitics.htm
No wonder Rudy keeps asking for an explanation of what community organizing is.
This is why Obama (and Michelle) always start out with the negatives…
“Oh your life is so bad, America is so bad, America is so mean, this is the worst it’s ever been…”
AH!
But there is a ray of hope! It’s OBAMA!
Epiphanies, ray of light through the window, hopenosis, blablabla…
It’s like their carnival schtick they do over and over again.
Now Obama will lead them into believing corporations and government (just not his) is very bad and they can agitate from the community on up to force change. That could mean like taking over a McDonald’s or overwhelming the advertising department of a small radio station, or whatever it takes to force “their” changes (which are really Obama’s).
Saul Alinsky was all about basically lying to Americans to force socialism and communism, because otherwise they wouldn’t accept it! That’s why Obama stammers so much, the sign of your basic liar.
Hmmmm, and perhaps why the trolls who come here start their posts off with “the country is being torn apart” or “the country is falling to pieces” crap before calling us all ignorant racists for being immune to the power of The One.
Sure, they are trying to convince you Things are Terrible, You are Being Screwed, You Need Change, and We are the Ones to Save You. It’s very effective. Everyone has a gripe. If the gripe and the response to the grip are not clearly set out, the tendency is for people to project their own wants and hopes on the agitator, and buy into the line that they really do want change and this person will make the change they want. If the agitator were specific, people would figure out that maybe they didn’t have that problem or they didn’t want that solution. It’s all a matter of getting a good head of emotional steam.
It’s fun seeing Micehlle out there quoting Saul Alinsky’s ‘world as it should be’ lines.
I get it now. Thanks.
That’s an eye opener!
Saul Alinsky is also the subject of Hillary Clinton’s thesis from college.
If you are interested in reading it and seeing Hillary’s take on him, here is a link to the thesis.
http://www.gopublius.com/HCT/HillaryClintonThesis.html
Thanks so much for this link … I’m going to give it a good read. I did go to the bibliography “primary sources” section (page 88 under “personal interviews”) and she writes: “Alinsky, Saul D.. Mr. Alinsky and I met twice during October in Boston and during January in Wellesley. Both times he was generous with ideas and interest. His offer of a place in the new Institute was tempting but after spending a year trying to make sense out of his inconsistency, I need three years of legal rigor.”
That’s our Hils — showing good judgement even at that age.
Note at the end, he offers her a job and she TURNS HIM DOWN!
Hillary rocks!
Thanks for the link. Trolls will say Hillary bought into Alinsky. The truth is a well-informed political student has to be aware of Alinsky and read about him, whether agreeing or not.
Larry, excellent article as ususal. This ayers problem is not going to go away. He is definately hiding something.
Looks like Ayers-Obama ties go back to high school, and Al-Mansour is closely connected with ayers as well…. see this story:

Unless we take immediate action, conservative legislators may cave-in and give-up when it comes to giving the American people a measure of energy independence and relief from high prices at the gas pump.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid just played his trump card and his message of blackmail and extortion to conservative legislators is both simple and effective.
Simply put, Reid is telling conservatives in Congress to give up on “drill here, drill now” … agree to “sham” legislation that will increase your taxes and drive up your cost for gasoline at the pump … or he’ll make sure conservatives take the blame for shutting down the government.
According to The Hill:
“Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) cautioned Republicans Monday against forcing a government shutdown over expanded oil drilling while noting increased support for bipartisan energy legislation… Republicans are mulling whether to press the offshore oil drilling fight by blocking the funding resolution, which contains the congressional moratorium on such drilling. Reid reminded the GOP that its government shutdown led by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) during the Clinton administration was met with widespread public disapproval.”
Reid went on to self-righteously pontificate:
“We are not interested in any games being played. We simply want to make sure the government is allowed to function. There have been Republicans saying what they want to do is close down the government. I would hope that some of those people have read very recent history where Gingrich tried to do that and it didn’t work out well for the Republicans and certainly didn’t work out well for this country.”
The only ones playing games here are Harry Reid and his liberal cohorts in Congress.
This sickening gamesmanship and disgusting political maneuvering beg some rather obvious questions:
What does a moratorium on drilling have to do with funding the United States government in the first place?
Why not take the drilling moratorium out of the funding resolution and allow a fair-up-or-down vote on domestic drilling?
That’s why we have our own message for Reid and his liberal allies in Congress who are dead set on raising the price of gasoline and keeping us dependent on foreign oil at the behest of left-wing special interests.
Harry Reid needs to be told, in no uncertain terms, that holding the American people hostage is not a “game” and the American people are not going to let him get away with it!
Moreover, our elected leaders (particularly the conservatives in Congress who have bravely championed the call for domestic drilling and lower prices at the pump) need to understand that NO LIBERAL-INSPIRED “COMPROMISE” OR SO-CALLED “COMPREHENSIVE” LEGISLATION WILL BE TOLERATED… PERIOD!
If Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and liberals in the House and Senate want to play games and shut the government down over this issue… SO BE IT! The American will know who is to blame!
Use the hyperlink below to send your urgent and personalized Blast Fax Messages to President George W. Bush, Senate Majority Leaders Harry Reid, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and each and every Member of the Republican Leadership of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives.
Tell them in no uncertain terms that the American people will not be blackmailed or extorted! Tell them that “drill here and drill now” means just that. Tell them that you expect them to lift the moratorium without any political games or so-called “compromise” or “comprehensive” bills.
And most importantly let our conservative elected officials know that if liberals intend to hold domestic drilling hostage to a potential government shutdown, the American people still want them to stand firm!

Are Conservatives Already Starting To Waffle?
John Gizzi with Human Events thinks so.
“The White House wouldn’t rule out signing a continuing resolution to fund the government that includes a ban on offshore drilling. That response from Press Secretary Dana Perino this afternoon has several on the pro-energy side a bit nervous as to just how fully committed the Bush Administration is to making off-shore drilling happen.”
But Gizzi goes on to say what Republicans should be doing… how they should be playing the game:
“Fair enough. But wouldn’t it also help make an appropriations bill move a bit if the threat of a veto of a CR with a ban on offshore drilling were put on the table now?”
Gizzi is 100 percent right! Why can’t conservatives play hardball? Why can’t President Bush threaten to veto legislation that does not contain adequate provisions for domestic drilling? Why can’t conservatives in Congress stand firm to liberal extortion?
That last question is gaining importance because it would appear that a growing number of conservative legislators are starting to waffle!
According to TheStreet.com:
“Senate Majority Leader Reid has placed his faith for compromise in the so-called ‘Gang of 10,’ which has increased now to 16 senators.”
The Associated Press reports:
“A bipartisan group, originally known as the Gang of Ten, that has crafted a drilling compromise gained more members and has grown to 22 senators.”
So why are they running for the hills?
The crux of the problem is that too many of our conservative and Republican legislators actually believe the American people WILL BLAME THEM for a government shutdown!
What they need to hear from each and every one of us RIGHT NOW is that the American people WILL BLAME THEM if they “compromise” or vote in favor of so-called “comprehensive” legislation.
They need to know that YOU WANT THEM TO STAND FIRM!
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THIS YOUTH CRIME BILL IS THAT BILL O’REILLY IS TALKING ABOUT? I lived in Chicago and so its important to me to find out more information about it because Chicago was a very violent city so i want to know where obama stands on this.

Ha! Thanks for the link.
OUCH! Those’ll leave a mark.
Larry,
I have no doubt our beloved country will not exist if this terrorist-loving fraud gets in..
I have military friends who are not reenlisting if that fraud gets in b/c they don’t trust the fraud to be loyal to this country. And they are worried he will send them anywhere and everywhere.
Frankly, I think Mr. Obama hates this country and americans.. .. else why would he be comforatable hanging ard friends like Bill Ayers who hate this country??
I wonder what higher up CIAs, and higher ups military people, who have dedicated their lives to this country, think of the fraud and his america-hating friends.. ??
Actually, my son is one of those who has said if he is elected, he will not re-enlist. He does not believe in him and thinks the same, that he really doesn’t like this country very much.
Barack has been led by the nose ring by Ayers, a wealthy Maoist radical terrorist, OBama SOLD OUT to him to get connections
Obama is a VERY SICK MAN so bent on power his entire life that he has never had any scruples where it really matters, he’s a showman and a fraud.
So Ayers got him into Harvard by asking al Mansour to get Percy Sutton to write his letter of recommendation, though they never apparently even met! al Mansour, Black Panthers, recruited funding for Obama’s Harvard education, and Khalid al Mansour has connections to wealthy Saudi Wahabists (like the 9-11 perpetrators).
Ayers set him up in the Woods Fund, Chicago Annenberg Challenge, and his job at Sibley…yes didn’t you wonder how rapid-fire Obama was at getting to get jobs and lead boards controlling $50million to $160 million at such a young age with no experience? Maybe that’s why OBama thinks it shouldn’t be a problem to become President.
Ayers and his mentoring and money have put Obama as his front man from 1987 til the present, OBama LIED to ABCNEWS about the time line and what they he and Ayers did together. Ayers still is a consultant to the campaign and it’s known that Axelrod communicates almost daily with Ayers still (Obama, liability).
Even Axelrod is a radical.
Obama has been sculpted, groomed, funded, channeled, set-up, employed, titled, referred, recommended…….all by Ayers
he must’ve seen him as a MENTAL CASE and as vulnerable and with enough smarts and charisma and bald ambition to be someone he could manipulate through enticements which addressed Obama’s personal quest for power.
A vote for Obama is a vote for Ayers. Ayers is a VERY bad man, it’s like a cadre of seriously mentally disturbed people who want to control your lives, actually with Ayers he just wants to destroy America.
I don’t buy any of that ‘first day of school’ excuse.
Meshell did not want to be at the WTC ceremony. The feelings beneath the surface which precipitated ‘never loved America before’, are underpinnings of a strong contempt for this country. To participate in something so patriotic was more than she could bear. Her macdaddy looked like he couldn’t wait to get out of there for a cigarette break. You can’t fake patriotism; only fools would go for that 3rd rate acting job. The Obama’s are shits, and dangerous to this country.
Aw come on it’s a really tough acting job to PRETEND to these peons that you’re patriotic, Obama was thinking “OK smile fake like you care about that fireman and construction worker now chuck the flower onto the pile look all humble bow my head…is it over yet?”
Michelle just oozes the rank foulness of America hate, she’s not a great stage actress…even on Ellen she looked mighty evil. Obama is better, but still sucks. People who WANT to believe him have no problem with the fakery, and will bash you if you focus on his lackings.
So, finally, he sticks on the lapel pin, even copied McCain’s military bracelet (fora while)…but come on, the poor guy has been having to pretend for what 19 months now, it’s mighty wearing.
Can you imagine the par-tay they’d have after inauguration day, just let it all hang out!?
I think the real reason she didn’t go was b/c she would be standing there with Cindy McCain.
I think Michelle has a major issue with accomplished, successful and classy women.
My guess is, she would have thrown it like Barry or maybe she would have kept it b/c it makes her feel pretty
The thought of Bill Ayers being an invited guest to the White House is sickening.
And make no mistake: Wright will be a frequent visitor as well. I can already see Obama magnanimous forgiveness and embrace of Wright coming up within his first year.
I thought of that too, but Wright does not bother me near as much as Ayers.
The thought of Ayers in the White House bothers me as well.
The guy hasn’t matured past a teenager’s mentality. Which makes him the same jerk he always was. At least he is stupid enough to admit it…..repeatedly.
Someone here linked his ‘cartoon’ meant to explain away his ‘didn’t do enough’ comments. Shocking that he would try and massage the message now and think people would fall for it.
He is a legend in his own mind.
But without a doubt, Ayers shouldn’t be friends with anyone in the Oval Office.
Indeed. Can you imagine Barky inviting Ayers to a SOTU speech in the Capitol?
I agree and always thought their dust-up was a ruse.
His famous speech on race and the follow up gave Wright a front door pass to the White House.
There was nothing in those speeches that banned him for the duration of Obama’s admin.
While Grandma’s status as a vistor to the White House seemed in question. Like she would still be hidden after the election. Has anyone received the impression we would be able to meet her at some point?
Then there is Mrs McCain, 96 years old, feisty, funny, and clearly up on the topics. Her comment about Republicans not liking her son could hold their nose when voting for him was great.
Strange enough, Obama’s people weren’t even THAT accommodating to Hillary supporters.
Mrs McCain acknowledges that a lot of Republicans had greivances with her son.
The Obama campaign insults the Hillary supporters as bitter, dead-enders, who must ‘get over it’, too stupid or selfish to realize the importance of the SCOTUS, Roe vs Wade, the economy, etc.
Urban Hillbilly,
you said
“The thought of Bill Ayers being an invited guest to the White House is sickening”
I agree. Look who else might be invited guests at the White House IF Sen Obama wins the presidential race…
http://www.barackbook.com/
Obama facebook
We dont want ANY of these people getting anywhere Washington DC, our Constitution, or our Bill of Rights.
These are all close associates of Sen Obama.
Sen Obama owes many people many favors…what are they expecting as repayment?
Ayers and the 110 million used for “education” why was the Chicago Annenberg Challenge a Failure?
How can we trust Obama to talk about education. It is obvious he has no clue.
Maybe much of that money was start-up funds for Obama’s campaign.
And I always wondered, Odinga must’ve paid him for all that campaigning he did in Kenya.
We know about the Hamas/Gaza money, the Nigerian fundraisers, there’s so much more we do not know…Auchi.
Hey trolls.
First you said…Polls don`t matter. Watch the electoral college…thats what matters
WELL……..

KARMA baby.
OT, but did anyone else read the hit piece on Cindy Mccain’s past drug use today on MSN? The interesting part was were the man who first uncovered Cindy’s drug problem now works for the DNC. Axelrod and Obama are just as bad as Rove. Except Rove was original. These guys have to resort to Rove’s old smears from the eighties.
Ohitler has admitted past drug use so this hit piece only reminds people of his baggage.
Cindy McCain getting hooked on prescription drugs versus Obama snorting cocaine…hmmmm. Which one is running for president?
Remember when rumors of the Whitey tape caused Ohitler to stamp his feet and warn of dire consequences if people went after Michelle? Going after Cindy opens the door for Michelle to be fair game now.
Yeppers. I can’t believe how fucking stupid Obama’s people are. If this election turns into a mud-slinging contest, McCain and his guys have a LOT more mud to throw at Obama than the other way ’round.
She had 2 slipped discs. I’m a pharmacist, this addiction to pain killers is not uncommon and people are ashamed of it when it happens.
I think that’s very different than Obama’s heavy use of recreational drugs.
cindy has come clean on this – i’ve seen her interview, and she did well.
so if need be, she’ll do it again; it’s not like she’s a communist sympathizer
oh, but, Larry, they don’t give a flying fuck that Obama has longtime connections to remorseless terrorists and racist preachers and steeped in Alinksy methodology. They don’t care that Obama has been heavily influenced in politics by Weather Underground headman, Bill Ayers.
You see, all they seem concerned about is that Sara Palin didn’t seem to know what the Bush Doctrine is–LOL. Or, in their twisted minds, that is.
What a country.
Shows how they spin things, Palin didn’t say she didn’t know Bush doctrine; she just asked for clarification of the question. But even if she didn’t, she isn’t alone because not many do know Bush doctrine because he’s as secretive as Sorotoro/Obama. (Must be that clone thing.)
They are 13th cousins. Or so I read somewhere.
here’s a thought: as slimy as SOME 527s can be, thank goodness that we have them in this media environment.
the irony? 527s are the result of mccain-feingold…
On ABC they DUG DIRT ON PALIN that as mayor, Wasilla did not cover rape kits.
There was 2 rapes in the time she was mayor, the rape kits were billed to the victims’ insurance.
So they ran a big story on this last night, and some people…..noted that ABC had gone to all of this trouble over a matter of policy difference and IGNORED Ayers, Odinga, Auchi, Wright (mostly), Rezko, al Mansour, Cone, Black Liberation Theology and on and on…..
Typical Obama crap is all it is.
If you get shot by a drive by shooter and are brought to the emergency room, I can assure you that, even as a victim of crime, your insurance will be billed for your treatment.
The same holds true of rape kits.
I was part of a rape crises program here and our city certainly did not pay for rape kits either. They are on the hospital bill because hospitals charge for services in Emergency rooms.
Hospitals aren’t in the habit of doing things for free. And cities, in or out of Alaska, aren’t in the habit of paying hospital bills of crime victims, including shooting victims, people who get assaulted, or… yes…rape victims.
I am just so sick of Barack Obama I cannot wait to kick his ass back to chicago thug land. Whomever is pimping this story couldn’t give one shit about who gets raped except as it applies to The One whom they Worship.
I’m sure Barack Obama has stopped all rapes in Chicago. Not. In fact, Barack Obama couldn’t give a shit who gets raped.
Bil O’Reilly also made a huge mistake bundling:
” Wright, attending a D’Kos conference, Ayres and Moveon.org” all as the same criticism. That gave Obama the out to blatantly state that these relationships
were “tangential” (!)
(which went unchalleneged, of course….).
Sorry but I could skewer Obama better than O’Reilly, most bloggers here seem to know more than he does.
But you’re supposed to lie when you’re talking to Bill O’Reilly.

I get it. So what Bill Clinton said yesterday that Barack was going to win handily was the next to the last chapter of the fairy tale. That makes my day.
Clinton fairy tale act 2: Barack will win the election and he will win handily.
Poor Barack, he looses everywhere.
Create enemies and they will pluck your eyes off your face.
He will win handily in losing the entire election by a landslide.
But “fairy tale” and “community organizer” and now apparently “lipstick” are all now words belonging to “The One”… no person may utter them in public without the permission of the exalted one himself.
Personal ambition is the KEY to all the unsavory connections BO has nurtured through out!
Don’t expect results from HIS hard work…there are none!
Our country is in a “world of hurt” unless we stop him now!
Well, we know how Obama feels about bubbas.
Much was made out of Obama throwing the flower at the memorial site, which occurs later in this clip, but look at the body language and snub of the construction worker at 16 sec of the coverage of this event.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67a8BYSx2DU
I think that worker felt the snub as well. The body language was shouting out…
Wow…the worker even was available if Obama realized his mistake of blowing him off. You see him turn to be respectful to Obama. While Obama shows all the discipline of a small child who wants to leave because he is bored.
The chances are high that the worker is a member of the steelworkers union. Any smart politician would put two and two together and remember the First Dude, Mr Palin is currently a member, and wouldn’t blow the worker off.
What a fool Obama is!
Yes,
He acts like it is such a chore to talk to the little people…
you’re right. i missed it the first time, but he greets the black woman and skips the whiteys.
It’s a COVER UP!!!!!!!
When the hell will the stupid MSM investigate and report on this?!?
Looking forward to Kurtz articles…
The MSM sold their souls to the devil when they helped enable Bush to invade Iraq. They will investigate after the fact, the shameful bunch of miscreants they are.
AMEN.
Don’t hold your breath on those Kurtz articles.
Has anyone seen this article at Vanity Fair?
http://www.vanityfair.com/online/politics/2008/09/could-the-media-help-obama-if-they-wanted-to.html
Well, I’m glad somebody is at least talking about the media trying to get barry elected – although the author insists on calling it a “conspiracy theory.”
And at least he says it’s not working.
But that James Wolcott quote – mon dieu! – talk about the pot calling the kettle black – wow!
Thanks very much for posting this.
Regarding the Bush Doctrine:
I thought that we as a country had always reserved the right for pre-emptive action, if we had information regarding an imminent attack.
That question, to me, could have been the “axis of evil” and the spreading of democracy, as pertaining to Bush.
I thought Gov. Palin handled it correctly, after a pause!
I did, too. Seeking clarification was the best move, because most the viewing audience, I suspect, would probably wonder if the “Bush Doctrine” included unilateralism, “shock and awe”, permanent bases, plus all that you mentioned and more.
The “Bush Doctrine” may be well understood in Charlie’s circles and in academia, but it was real helpful for the viewing audience for Palin to ask for clarification.
Larry I love this article.
Another accomplishment of Barack Zerobama: Democratic down-ticket chances: Ruined.
Barack keeps adding accomplishments to his words.
Fox just read some kind of statement that came out of David Pflouffe (sp?) this morning. Don’t have the exact quote, but it was something like (referring to the McCain/Palin campaign): “I’m sure there will be more hand-wringing and bed-wetting…”
Yep – barky’s “new” kind of campaigning is soooo staying above the fray, ain’t it? Calling your presidential opponents bed-wetters – LOL!
The One’s campaign itself is sounding more like its big orange teenage minions every day – desperate – or frantic, I’d say.
Guess they saw the new poll numbers this morning…
Sorry, don’t have a link – just saw it on TV.
it never ceases to amaze me each day on here I hear something stupid Obama’s campaign said. They haven’t even had enough time to change their diapers and aquawling before they open their piehole and say something else stupid. bedwetting??
teenage minions? you got that right….
You know, no matter the scenario, Obama portrays “The Hope of Audaciousness”, he always has to make himself stick out obnoxiously…like you think YOU are left, I’ll show you left! You think abortion is OK, I’ll raise you and go to infanticide!
Just look at the picture of him not saluting the flag, he knew he’d stand out, that’s the entire point. Every double entrendre loaded nuance plausibly deniable shockjock statement he makes is weighed calculated for effect and retreat-ability.
He has a pathological need for constant, and I mean constant, attention and adoration and he loves to feel like he’s the manipulator-in-chief.
A lot of old voters don’t use computers, have to wear depends, it is a health problem,….this guy is offending the voters he needs to win….I say, hey go ahead…he has already lost the gun & bible hugging crowd as he calls them.. he never had the people who he calls bigots, even though they were not turning him down because of color, experience does matter to a lot of Americans, you know the “Typical White People” the Bunker crowd…..
we need a youtube of all the ways he has insulted the people of America.
Plus, a lot of lower middle-class white women don’t have access to computers either. Not the smartest ad they could be running.
Larry…sometimes I almost think people need to see a chart on Obama and connections so they can understand this guy…Ayers,Pfleger, Wright etc…all connected all friends of Obama’s for more than 20 years…then add on all of the shady people they are connected to, complete with all the amounts of money Obama funneled to them…what I am saying is a picture is worth a thousand words and some people don’t bother to read…you just have to show them.
There is one out there that was made during the primaries. I will try to find it.

Either Obama Mama didn’t show up for the 9/11 event because the Bobo camp didn’t want to remind people of her hateful comments about the country or it provided her an opportunity to diss Palin by saying she had to get the little girls off to school. When will these two give up trying to trash Sarah? It’s backfiring, but they’re still at it. They act like classless, ill-bred people who don’t know how else to behave.
Oil here is expected to jump to five dollars.

Chavez kicked out the US ambassador.
Ike speculators.
I put as much as I could in last night on reading the news from Venezuela.
The cheapest places in town are CITGO outlets.
Think I’ll be a (credit)card carrying supporter there.
I hope you realize that Citgo is owned by the Venezuelan govt … Chavez.
I’d suck it up, pay a few more $$ and purchase gas from a different outlet.
Damn, now trying to get us to support Hugo? I’ll pay 10 cents a gallon more at Texaco, thanks.
And if anyone was wondering where Michelle Obama was on 9-11…she was in Chicago all this week getting the girls off to their first week of school. Or was she?

Barack was there representing his family. This is not an issue, just a distraction to keep the public from the real issue, that McCain represents 90% of Bush. The country can’t afford another 4 years of Bush.
so if they say she was taking the girls to school but really was not…it is not a lie…I see…
She ditched the girls to go tell people in IN and OH to make the world “as it should be” her famous alinsky line
Gee. It’s only the day when innocent Americans lost their lives in the only attack on American soil in modern times. No biggie for the folks at Reverand Wright’s church. Just something about lipstick, chickens, something like that …
Dancing on Ellen was also more important than 9/11.
I think the Obamas behavior yesterday was disrespectful and disingenuous.
First, Michelle wasn’t taking her kids to school, she was campaigning in two states trying to win “the womans vote”.
Second, Michelle cannot help but scowl at America. No one wanted that scowling asshole to be seen at the site of 911.
Obama–he looked embarassed to be there. Notice his body language, hands behind his back. His was a performance made for an international audience of radical muslims–shows no respect for the site, for the people there, throws his flower down, doesn’t pay attention…does he not feel the tradgedy? Or is he thinking how many of his friends thought that 911 was a good thing for America?
He continuously violated McCain’s space, looking like he wanted to “help” him. McCain walked stiffly ahead and hardly acknowledge him.
One of the fire captains put badges on Cindy and John–but none for Obama. I think Obama reminded the firefighters there of who brought down the towers.
If she was in OH, why couldn’t SHE make it to Shanksville, PA (right next door)? Even that little effort would have been better than his emailing his condolences. that’s just beyond tacky.
That’s a droll, simplistic argument. It’s not resonating with the majority of the public, who believe (quite correctly) that McCain would govern differently than Bush.
Besides, while Bush can be faulted for a lot of things, he’s kept us safe here at home for seven years now since 9/11/01. Personally, I have no problem at all with four more years of the same.

Why Wasn’t Michelle Obama at the 9/11 Ceremony?
September 11, 2008 6:58 PM
Some readers have asked me why it was that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was without spouse at the 9/11 commemoration ceremony today in New York City.
After all, they point out, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., was accompanied by his wife Cindy.
Where was Michelle?
The Obama campaign responds that Michelle was back in Chicago with her daughters Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, since this is the first week of school.
The McCain kids, incidentally, have all graduated from high school (some long ago) with the exception of Bridget, who’s 16.
- jpt
UPDATE: As has been pointed out elsewhere, Michelle Obama did do some campaigning this week, in Indiana and Ohio. How does that fit in with the campaign’s explanation that she was too busy to attend the 9/11 ceremony because this was Sasha and Malia’s first week of school? I asked the campaign and will get back to you when and if it responds.
UPDATE 2: Here’s the fuller explanation of everything. Michelle Obama’s itinerary is scheduled well in advance to juggle childcare responsibilities and campaign duties, as she is the primary caregiver for the Obamas’ young daughters. She regularly only travels two to three days a week with only one overnight away every so often from home.
The campaign has dialed back her schedule since the Democratic convention because of the girls. This week, Mrs. Obama decided she needed to be home as much as possible for their first week of school. She needed to get them ready for school, be home, and put some normalcy back into their routine. There were no overnights this week because of school. She had a long planned trip to Indiana, scheduled so she could bring her kids to school in the morning and only be away from them in the afternoon.
The campaign had originally thought the 9/11 Commemoration was just for the two candidates, and didn’t realize Cindy McCain was going until earlier this week. They debated changing her schedule, but ultimately decided that as important as the 9/11 Commemoration was, she wanted to be with her girls this week and was not comfortable being away from them for more than the previously scheduled afternoon.
An Obama spox says: “Both Senator Obama and Mrs. Obama are strongly committed to honoring the memory of those that perished on that tragic day. That’s why Senator Obama put politics aside and reached out to Senator McCain to join him at ground zero yesterday. While honoring the remembrance of 9-11, and like many families across the country, Mrs. Obama felt it was also important to be with her two young children.”
I was not the one who said that you need to look at who did…

Obama invited McCain to ground zero?
Didja catch that little implication in Team Obama’s press release?
looks like she is busted..
oh. my. god.
what a bunch of monsters the Obama’s are…
i hope the word of this spreads…
caught in another lie… again…
a. hillary
b. mccain
america first!
wow…
Well in the words of Rev Manning–she looks like [REMOVED FOR INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT. I WILL NOT TOLERATE RACIST NAME CALLING OF MICHELLE OR ANY OTHER PERSON]. Just shows you her true feelings. “First time she is proud of her country?” Wonder if she was sitting in the pews that Sunday, when Rev Wright, God Damned America? Shows us where her head is at.
The Obama compaign will make virtue of necessity. Michelle is a divisive figure who likes to run her mouth. The campaign has to keep her off stage.
So they paint her as a devoted homebody, who puts her children’s welfare first. (Unlike Sarah Palin.)
Thus: “Michelle is at home because the children just started school.”
The “1982″ ad by Obama calling McCain too old, was like a christmas present.
Now McCain can run any kind of ad he wants without fear of looking like the bad guy.
Rev. Jeremiah Wright front and center …
Expect to be hearing “god damn america” and “chickens coming home to roost” on a TV near you
Funny Vid on Palin…
http://www.ourcountrydeservesbetter.com/
Is it just me, or was Palin holding a M4 carbine without a clip in it? LOL, Palin shooting blanks, goes well with her remarks on invading Russia.
How are those polls looking to ya Sparky?
One, Palin didn’t say that.
Two, Obama said the whole affair should be handled by the UN.
Guess who I think is the smartest!
(Ans: Palin)
Obviously, you don’t have much experience with guns, do ya? You wouldn’t put a loaded clip in such a weapon in the presence of a large group of people, for obvious safety reasons. Furthermore, you can raise the weapon to your eye to check out the sighting on it without having the clip in it..
Palin never said anything at all about “invading Russia.” What she said was that if Russia invaded another country … presumably a new NATO member like Poland, Hungary or Lithuania … then the U.S. would have to go to war against them, which we most certainly would, based on our commitments as a member of the NATO alliance. NATO’s founding charter states that an attack against any member will be regarded as an attack on all members and all members will be obligated to come to the defense of the member being attacked. It’s pretty cut & dried.
I’m afraid you’re gonna hafta do better than this, chief.
Then expect Rev. Wright to be followed up by William Ayers in all his glory …
Then the true october suprise, and the final nail in the coffin … The “whitey tapes ”
Yes they do exist. They were originally deiscovered by Giuliani operatives. Democrats know they exist, and are already crafting a defense …
I’d LOVE to be a fly on the wall in THAT particular strategy session. I can’t imagine what kind of “defense” you could come with to counteract a video of a prospective First Lady of the United States going off on a 30-minute diatribe against “whitey”. About the only defense I could think of would be “Hey, Michelle Obama is not running for president. Barack Obama is.”
But if these tapes really do exist, then Barack Obama has got a very serious problem himself because he came out two months ago and assured us all that no such tape existed. Remember the “Fight The Smears” website? If it shows that he blatantly lied about the tape’s existance, then there’s no way he’s going to able to lay that off on Michelle.
Was this where Michelle said “Why’d He do ___ Why’d He do ____” repeatedly, like the way Wright gives his “sermons” emphasizing by repetition a sound-bite?
Well are they going for the plausible deniability route or the “get over it you’re too sensitive route” or are they going to go on Letterman and “how dare anyone accuse us victims of racism” route?
Hmmm, I wonder how they’ll handle this one.
Obama’s relationship with Ayers and his lies and distortions about it should be enough to eliminate him from this race. Obama’s answers and lies about Ayers are very poor just as his answers and lies about Wright are.
I was suspicious about Obama for a long time when I found out he came out of the sleazy Chicago politics. Chicago politics have been corrupt for over 100 years. Obama came from the worst part of that town — the south side where all of the radicals are. Why this did not throw up a red flag within the Democratic party is beyond me. Instead, Kennedy and all of these idiots got on the Obama bandwagon. Obama moved to Chicago, took a job as a community organizer, and associated himself with the radicals to advance his political campaign. People are finally starting to catch up with this and I wonder why it has taken them so long.
Let’s correct some facts here, Obama started working with Ayers on the ABC Coalition in 1987. Daley did not become Mayor of Chicago until 1989 after the school reforms were completed and while Obama was attending Harvard. Timelines are definately not a friend of Obama.
Obama’s church, why’d he pick this one, well logic dictates the man is a seeker of advancement, and it was Oprah’s church at the time, and opened a door for Obama to get some exposure for his book of lies.
The Hypocrisy of Team Barry
David Axelrod has released a memo this morning that points to the tough and substantive strategy that will guide Team Barry from this point forward. “We will respond with speed and ferocity to John McCain’s attacks and we will take the fight to him,” vows the brains of the Obama campaign, “but we will do it on the big issues that matter to the American people. We will not allow John McCain and his band of Karl Rove disciples to make this big election about small things.”
You know I love it whenever Team Barry butches up. But still, what are the big issues of the day that the Obama campaign will be addressing in this critical spell? The campaign’s latest add provides a hint. The AP reports:
The newest ad showcasing their hard line includes unflattering footage of McCain at a hearing in the early ’80s, wearing giant glasses and an out-of-style suit, interspersed with shots of a disco ball, a clunky phone, an outdated computer and a Rubik’s Cube.
“1982, John McCain goes to Washington,” an announcer says over chirpy elevator music.
“Things have changed in the last 26 years, but McCain hasn’t.
“He admits he still doesn’t know how to use a computer, can’t send an e-mail, still doesn’t understand the economy, and favors two hundred billion in new tax cuts for corporations, but almost nothing for the middle class,” it says. It shows video of McCain getting out of a golf cart with former President George H.W. Bush and closes with a photo of him standing with the current President Bush at the White House. “After one president who was out of touch, we just can’t afford more of the same.”
The big issue of the day, therefore, is that John McCain wore ugly suits. In 1982! Thank heavens the Obama campaign has determined to yank this campaign towards more substance.
In many private conversations in recent days, I’ve noted the intellectual exhaustion that currently characterizes the Obama campaign. With the hope/change thing having run its course, Obama and his team quite literally have nothing to say. If John McCain were Barack Obama, he’d spend the next three news cycles whining “Ageism!” in regards to the Obama campaign’s new spot. But as we all know, John McCain isn’t Barack Obama. Instead, I’m quite confident that McCain and his team will revel in the pathos that this ad unwittingly reveals.
A great response ad would be “Barack Obama wants us to focus on the last twenty years? Fine. Where was John McCain during that time? He was in the United States Senate, serving on (list committees), preparing himself for the presidency. Where was Barack Obama during those same twenty years? (cut to film clip of Jerimiah Wright ranting) Sitting in the church of a virulent racist, soaking up his anti-American ideology and exposing his small children to it.”
McCain should pick up and that and show that he bucked Reagan from the start. Reagan was going to send Troops to Lebanon, McCain protested, he said we HAD NO NATIONAL INTEREST IN LEBANON. Reagan was President and sent the Troops to Lenanon but shortly after that the Marine Barracks was bombed by Terrorists and more than 100 Troops were killed. Reagan removed the Troops soon after that disaster.
Handily lol. That to me could mean underhandedly..There are many words in the dictionary he could have used. Why this one..I think he’s playing the game..He called this entire Primary a Fairytale.imo..What changed his mind?
IMO Obama is a dangerous candidate..When will Americans wake up..
Mccain and Palin need to win the election.imo
Bill knows better. He is looking toward the future of the party. “The One” is a fairy tale story without the fairy tale ending.
That was probably a deal Barry struck with them being folks are starting to go after Obama about his long friendship/working relationship with Ayers and Obama said he would go in further detail as long as he wasn’t questioned about it.
Just like Bush made preconditions on interviews, we learn the Obama’s do that as well.
Gallup: If These Numbers Are Sustained Through Election Day Republicans Could Be Expected To Regain Control of the U.S. House of Representatives
Gallup breathes the unthinkable. Of course, one has to presume that such a result would mean the White House is thrown in for good measure. More bad news for the Dems. Congressional approval ratings are in the historical range where the party in power gets tossed into the street.
http://patriotroom.com/?p=1966
I think I may vote Dem downticket because I believe John McCain will president and I want a check and balance in the federal government. When either party gets complete control they go nuts and do things that are bad for the people of this country.
tek…I don’t see it that way. We need to do some major purging of our party. Both parties better realize that they have to be held accountable for their actions. Stealing election from Clinton has to be punished, this includes the SDs who pushed Soetoro down our throats, their lying, cheating asses have to be voted out! This includes, Dean, Brazile, Pelosi, Kerry, the radical thug nuts. Clinton needs to start over with people wo she can trust. Sorry I’m voting against down-ticket Dems.
I won’t vote for dems..they didn’t support Clinton after she won my state…they need to go!
You are right there needs to be a purge, we vote them in to represent us and when we vote one way as a state and they go the opposite…I would say they don’t represent us.
I had voted for DEMS for almost 40 years, but I live In Michiganistan and will be voting Straight Republican until this Party is PURGED. They don’t even know what DEMOCRACY MEANS, this Primary season was fixed as much as possible. Dean’s 50 State plan was just a plan for Obama to win Caucuses in places like Wyoming, Utah and Idaho. Then Dean took ALL THE DELEGATES from Florida and Michiganistan, against the Democratic Party Rules, the rules allowed 50% to be taken. This Party needs to quit taking money from George Soros and the Internationalists, they don’t have the best interests of this country in mind.
I for sure will be voting for McCain/Palin in November. This is a first from my democratic choices in the past for President.
The only Republican that I have voted for was Sen. Arlen Specter – mostly b/c I knew Republicans carried the majority in the Senate and he has a history of standing up to his party.
My game plan was to vote only for the D’s that supported Hillary – now I’m strongly leaning on a downticket R vote.
God! I never thought I’d ever think those thoughts or say them! No one dispised GWB more than me!
I’m so damn frustrated with this entire election debacle!
Every day when I hear the shit that comes out of the mouths of so-called Democrats (SC DNC Chair, the whole pitch line about Jesus the community organizer) the more I’m convinced to vote the whole damn gang of them out! Purge the whole system and start over!
Ed Rendell is dancing very close to the line with his newly found support of Barry. I think the reason being is so Hillary doesn’t have to do it – at least that is what I’m trying to convince myself.
Allyson Schwartz and Joe Sestak were die hard Hillary supporters and I have not heard a peep about them supporting Hillary so I have no problem continuing to support them.
I hope the others though have a nice long retirement.
Maybe they can become community organizers with their new free time?
The DNC is going to regret the day they stole the election from Clinton and handed to the Affirmative Action candidate. This has come back to bite the Dems on their ass. Barry Soetoro is going to drag the entire Dem party down with his sinking ship1 Aint payback a Bitch! Clinton supporter, 2012!
We might as well face it. The media will never tell the truth about Obama because Obama is the corporate candidate this year. We just have to hope that enough Americans see through this fraud to keep him out of the WH.
Tek The MSM also has to be held accountable for their distortion of the truth. Finally, this election cycle has openned our eyes, we are no better that Dictator controlled media. We need to break the monopoly-controlled media, boycott, write the our Congressman-woman. They are harming our Democracy. They are the elitists sitting on their fat asses, collecting their paychecks..they are the phoney ones. They have lost so much credibilty.
that thing on television last night proved your point…if Obama was not giving the correct answer the woman thought he should she would remind him of what McCain had said when he answered.
We can not allow the media to pick our president.
The 527’s will cover it. Today is the day you can expect them to start. When does the popcorn stand open? I hear they are drizzling chocolate on it …
You guys are all treating this election as if it were American Idol or Dancing with the Stars. Do any of you have any sense of what is going on this country?
The GOP is letting corporations and the wealthy steal from the Treasury, we have 2 wars raging, and you all want to talk about on this blog is about a flimsy relationship from 20 years ago with a criminal whose crime was committed 40 years ago?
You all are suffering from Obama Derangement Syndrome.
Hey, I think Obama has some unpaid parking tickets – we can’t let him win!
JF,
Obama supporters are just so cute, coming here and acting as smug and condescending as Obama. You all are like genetic clones or something.
Congress is a large part of the problems you cite… We are sick of any politician of any party that is corrupt, there really is very little difference between the parties when it comes to money and corporations… Time to clean house.
You are free to support any candidate you choose. Behaving as you just did is not productive.
Obviously character and trustworthiness are not important to you. Did you not read what Larry wrote?
Obama is backed by the Internationalists, the REAL Rich people, led by George Soros. Do yourself and favor and read these 2 articles. “MONEY CHOOSES SIDES” New York Mag (nymag.com) April 16, 2007, the other is by Donna Brazile “WHY AMERICANS HATE DEMOCRATS” How To Tap Into The Obama Factor. Nov. 5, 2004 http:www.slate.com/id/2109328
jf… get over yourself…
These fake news people are going to learn their lessons as well. America is NOT going to let them trick them into voting for a soul any longer. Every time they pull this crap, some more people get pissed. They have gotten so obvious it’s the norm to roll your eyes just watching these jerks.
They have an exaggerated sense of their own importance in the world. If Charlie Gibson got hit by a bus tomorrow, they would replace him with somebody just like him and the world wouldn’t skip a beat. His “hubris” remark was so snotty that I can’t even imagine even an Obamazoid not wincing. These people need the same lesson the DNC needs. If there’s any “hubris” going on it’s theirs.
It’s no wonder that the press is behind congress and used car salesmen in polls.
Tim Russert is a case in point – NBC and the rest of the obamamedia gave him one day of “He was more than a journalist, he was a saint!” coverage and by the next day it was “Timmy who?”
Guess Charlie (rightly) assumed that he would be excoriated by his “oh-so-professional” colleagues if he didn’t personify the media’s complete disdain and contempt for the woman. They would have run him out of town on a rail.
A “journalist’s” reputation with the echo chamber of the media is obviously all that’s important. Truth? Fairness? The American people? Not so much…
He did ask Obama that question..
CHARLES GIBSON: So did you think to yourself, ‘Barack, what kind of hubris is this that I am thinking about being President?”
BARACK OBAMA: Yes. I think if you don’t have enough self-awareness to see the element of megalomania involved in thinking you can be president, then you probably shouldn’t be president. I think there’s a slight madness to thinking that you should be the leader of the free world.
but all of the other questions were about Barack.

For all you legal beagles out there: Is it possible to impeach someone BEFORE an election?
“but we will do it on the big issues that matter to the American people.”
The big issue that matters to the American people right now is getting Barack Obama and the people who support him out of American politics.
Leisa,
Have you heard of the term nitpicking?
So you all were able to find that Obama is not a perfect human being. Good for you.
Have any of you given McCain/Palin even 5% of the scrutiny that you have given to Obama? I don’t think so.
The truth is, even if McCain picked Vladmir Putin as V.P., you wouldn’t even blink an eye.
No, then I would vote Barr.
The connections go back even further.
See new story at TD Blog about Weather Underground ties back to high school.
For some reason I’m unable to attach link here.
What dissapointed me about the Ayers ad is that it didn’t show the picture of him standing on the flag, that is a very powerful image. A lot of the bitter folks out in fly-over country don’t take too kindly to that kind of stuff.
I know that you all like the guilt by association smear, but what exactly do you think Obama would do if elected?
Will he hand the country over to the terrorists?
I really want to hear what your theory is.
Can you imagine Obama meeting Putin! OMG, Obama-Soetoro, Can’t we just all get along” Putin, excuse my language. “Hello Mr. Soetoro, uh, I mean Obama, yes we can!” Thinking, “what a pussy!” Hello Georgia! Maybe I will offer him a Limo-ride, with A Larry Sincalir-type!
OBAMA: I haven’t seen the guy in a year-and-a-half. But…
No but Axelrod talks with him daily…So now what?
Are we to believe this BS for BO?
If an 527 Ad comes out that says BO associattes with a known terrorist and doesn’t think it is a problem,
and it happens to be factual,
What an IGIT!!
JF; guilt by association smear,
First of it’s Obama’s association. He has Bill and his wife as friends. If you think the facts are a “smear” fine. As long as you understand that Obama made these choices, not anyone else. So he “smeared” himself.
Teak,
Do you understand what guilt by association means?
This person was guilty of a terrorist act.
The smear is that because Obama has a (flimsy) relationship with said person, that he is also guilty of the same act.
Do you think that Obama is a terrorist because of something that he did directly or because of something indirectly through association with someone else?
No I do understand guilt by association, just fine.
I do not think it is. It is one SO MANY examples by Obama of POOR JUDGEMENT!
If you wish to call it a “flimsy” relationship and repeat a lie, that is your problem. Not mine.
It is pure BS to say so, when BO has known the guy for 20 years and what and who Ayers is, to think otherwise.
I don’t believe you give a damn about having someone who hangs out with terrorists and criminals as POTUS. He is asking for my vote? No he said he did not need it. Fuck him and mule he rode in on.
no flimsy relationship there–Ayers knew him from high school, from college, helped him get to Harvard, gave him 3 jobs, introduced him to other known terrorists.
yeah, just someone around the corner, huh?
bye bye, Obomber!
The effort that LJ has put forth in defending Valerie Plame and calling out Rove and the GOP for their tactics was incredibly admirable and truly patriotic.
It is very tragic that LJ is now actively working through this blog to put Rove and the GOP’s candidate into the White House.
Larry, please regain your senses. You are on the same side as the people that you so vehemently denounced just a few years ago.
What they did to Valerie Plame was treasonous. I know that politics is messy and sometimes things are not just black and white. So are you able to rationalize that what the GOP did was bad, but Obama’s sins are much worse?
If you can and are able sleep at night, God bless you.
jf… here’s one for ya… read it and weep…
then maybe you’ll know why and how the radical (and may i say racist) dems hijacked your party:

Obama is a master at talking in circles. His answers to hot questions never get to the center where the truth lies. Ayers held a campaign fundraiser dinner for Obama when he was running for Senate. So Ayers was a “generous” neighbor!! So Obama is NOT TRUTHFUL when he says he “just happened to be a neighbor”. He was on the board with Ayers for many years, worked with him, was friendly enough to enjoy lunches and dinners with him and Ayers wife, Dorn. Its obvious Obama doesn’t care about the “integrity or character” of his friends, as long as the friendship gets him where he wants to be….in power!!!! What does that say about the “character” of a man who wants to be President?? McCain/Palin 08!!!!
Blah, blah, blah, keep trying to distract everyone from pathetic Republican public policy with guilt by association and lame fear tactics. It’s all you have.
You can put lipstick on king kong but in the morning it is still….?

THE AYERS/OBAMA TIMELINE
1987 William Ayers meets Barack Obama
1988 Ayers solicits Khalid Al-Mansour to raise money for Obama’s Harvard law School education
1989 Tom Ayers and William Ayers get Obama a summer job at Sidley & Austin (where he meets Michelle Obama); Ayers’ wife Bernadine Dohrn also worked at Sidley at about the same time as Barack and Michelle.
1993 Ayers places Obama on Woods Foundation
1995 Ayers makes Obama Chairman of Annenberg Challenge
1995 Ayers hosts a coffee klatch for Obama’s political debut (Obama falsely claims this is when he met Ayers)
2007-2008 The structure of Obama’s presidential campaign increasingly comes to resemble an Ayers-designed national “community organizer matrix” straight out of Maoist theory. This is not merely a presidential “campaign.” Obama’s organization is the first installment of an ongoing movement being paid for with tax-exempt contributions to his campaign, approaching half a billion dollars.
2008 Obama In response to ABC News, Obama tells a national TV audience he was “six years old” when Ayers bombed federal buildings, and they are only casual neighborhood acquaintances. A lie.
Obama is associated with Wm. Ayers, Sol Lewinsky (rules for radicals); Obama trained people to be radicals in order to overthrow our government, Rev. Wright who said, “God Damn America”!, Father Flaugher (sp), Kalid Al-Monsour, Louis Farrachon – “birds of a feather flock together” – we ALL should know that Obama is a Muslim terrorist and out to kill all Americans. His grim-faced wife hates “whitey” (her words) and all Americans. Obama is nothing but a liar, cheat, thief. He WILL increase our taxes, contrary to what he says. He is nothing but a piece of CRAP!!!!!
Anyone who votes for Barack HUSSEIN Obama is plain STUPID! He is just another stupid N—–, but on top of that he is a Muslim Terrorist who is out to kill all Americans.
Why do not more Americans look at his track record – he was stoned on alcohol and cocaine thruout high school and his college years (at least that is all he admits to) – the way he talks, I believe he is still stoned on cocaine! He is an idiot!!!!!!! How he ever got this far is very frightening!!!!!
