		<description>OMG!!!!!!  That is exactly what I've been thinking, and tried to explain to a non-understanding on-the-fencer.  People may not know the name Ayers, but the DO know the name McVeigh, and that's exactly what Ayers was like.  
I wish there was a way to contact the McCain campaigns to tell them what we, as the constituents and supporters are seeing 'on the ground', so to speak.  btw, there is an excellent article on CNN today by Ed Rollins, about what McCain needs to do at this point in the campaign.  I hope the McCain camp sees it and takes it to heart, it's really excellent advice.

This is the introduction that was made to this speech by the woman who works for NOW.  Her comments are what so many of us former Democrats and feminists believe. That is why we are supporting McCain/Palin.  You might note that while the media has covered Gloria Steinem's reaction to Palin, it has not picked up this endorsement--an endorsement many of us have made ourselves.  It is part of the media's tactic to shape reality by what it covers and how it covers it.  Katie Couric is not reality.  This is....</description>

		<description>I think that would be a bit dishonest. Do dishonest times call for dishonest measures or are you just a dishonest person?

McVeigh was a far right anti-government reactionary. Ayers is a far left anti government radical. Their views, means and associations would have been completely different on every count. Can anyone imagine McVeigh or that guy from Bowling for Columbine who goes, "There's wackos out there!", can anyone imagine those two being professors at any school except Oral Roberts University?</description>

		<description>Yeah, Obama palled around a lot with terrorist Ayers when Obama was 8.

Feh.

I will never vote for Sarah Palin.

Never.

She has driven me to voting for Obama.  Almost happily.</description>

		<description>Possible plan for Al-Zawahiri, Al Queada terrorist master strategist:

1) Recruit white people in the U.S. who think like Bill Ayers, who hate their own country.  Look for them on Daily Kos.  Bill Ayers is the poster child for Obama's main base of support.

2) Use these white anti-American traitors to sneak past U.S. security (like Timothy McVeigh) and hit the U.S. with a huge terrorist attack while its economy is vulnerable, to send the U.S. into a deep depression.

3)  Wait until after the election because an attack before Nov. 5th would help McCain win.

It may be lost on AP that Bill Ayers is white, but it is not lost on Al Queada.  Another Bill Ayers is just what they are looking for -- right now, as we speak.</description>

		<description>Barry has been backing away each and every one of his far left positions, one by one, during the course of this campaign, attempting to "redefine" himself as a "centrist". Any guillable "centrist" who votes for Obama is going to be in for a rude awakening if he's elected. The guy is a committed leftist and that's precisely how he will govern. America will be in for a hard turn to the left and a taste of European-style socialism if it is stupid enough to elect Brarck Obama.</description>

		<description>It's a relief to me too and I believe they will win.  It does feel like we're trying to follow up the corruption of Nixon with Carter - we should have gone with Ford then and we need to go with McCain now.  This from a democrat.  Well, a former democrat now independent.  I really think Obama is dangerous - not just incompetent like Carter.</description>

Michelle Obama Had Ayers Speak In 1997 joined by Obama
 
If you know someone high up in the McCain campaign get them this info ASAP:


From the University Of Chicago Chronicle:

Close-up on juvenile justice

Author, former offender among speakers
By Jennifer Vanasco
News Office

Children who kill are called "super predators," "people with no conscience," "feral pre-social beings" -- and "adults."

William Ayers, author of A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court (Beacon Press, 1997), says "We should call a child a child. A 13-year-old who picks up a gun isn't suddenly an adult. We have to ask other questions: How did he get the gun? Where did it come from?"

Ayers, who spent a year observing the Cook County Temporary Juvenile Detention Center in Chicago, is one of four panelists who will speak on juvenile justice at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20, in the C-Shop. The panel, which marks the 100th anniversary of the juvenile justice system in the United States, is part of the Community Service Center's monthly discussion series on issues affecting the city of Chicago. The event is free and open to the public.

Ayers will be joined by Sen. Barack Obama, Senior Lecturer in the Law School, who is working to combat legislation that would put more juvenile offenders into the adult system; Randolph Stone, Director of the Mandel Legal Aid Clinic; Alex Correa, a reformed juvenile offender who spent seven years in Cook County Temporary Detention Center; Frank Tobin, a former priest and teacher at the Detention Center who helped Correa; and Willy Baldwin, who grew up in public housing and is currently a teacher at the Detention Center.

The juvenile justice system was founded by Chicago reformer Jane Addams, who advocated the establishment of a separate court system for children which would act like a "kind and just parent" for children in crisis.

One hundred years later, the system is "overcrowded, under-funded, over-centralized and racist," Ayers said.

Michelle Obama, Associate Dean of Student Services and Director of the University Community Service Center, hopes bringing issues like this to campus will open a dialogue between members of the University community and the broader community.

"Students and faculty explore these issues in the classroom, but it is an internal conversation," Obama said. "We know that issues like juvenile justice impact the city of Chicago, this nation and -- directly or indirectly -- this campus. This panel gives students a chance to hear about the juvenile justice system not only on a theoretical level, but from the people who have experienced it."

<p>Close-up on juvenile justice</p>
<p>Author, former offender among speakers<br />
By Jennifer Vanasco<br />
News Office</p>
<p>Children who kill are called &#8220;super predators,&#8221; &#8220;people with no conscience,&#8221; &#8220;feral pre-social beings&#8221; &#8212; and &#8220;adults.&#8221;</p>
<p>William Ayers, author of A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court (Beacon Press, 1997), says &#8220;We should call a child a child. A 13-year-old who picks up a gun isn&#8217;t suddenly an adult. We have to ask other questions: How did he get the gun? Where did it come from?&#8221;</p>
<p>Ayers, who spent a year observing the Cook County Temporary Juvenile Detention Center in Chicago, is one of four panelists who will speak on juvenile justice at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20, in the C-Shop. The panel, which marks the 100th anniversary of the juvenile justice system in the United States, is part of the Community Service Center&#8217;s monthly discussion series on issues affecting the city of Chicago. The event is free and open to the public.</p>
