Open Thread * Obama Can Try to Run But He Can’t Hide

While Sarah Palin continues her assault on Obama’s lies about his extensive, long-term associations with Bill Ayers, the Obama campaign is madly scrambling and is now claiming that, in the mid-1990s, Obama had no knowledge of Bill Ayers’ background. See The Page‘s story, “Axelrod Says Obama Was In the Dark.”

If any of you believe that, I’ve got a mansion you can’t afford to sell you. But, I know that you know that makes no sense at all.

One blog has gone to a great deal of effort to explore the contemporaneous news atmosphere circa mid-1990s in the Chicago area, where both Obama and Ayers resided at the time, and to point out that it is impossible for Obama not to have been aware.

Check out Red State’s “In 1996, Media Coverage of Bill Ayers Was Too Extensive to Believe Obama Did Not Know Who Ayers Was.”

ALSO: Stay tuned for Steve Diamond’s latest devastating attack on the New York Times’s failure to report the full Obama/Ayers story … we’re posting it soon …

What else is going on today? The markets don’t look too hot.

OPEN THREAD!

        No…but I’d like to know who Barky was involved with in New York while at Columbia. He’s 47 years old and there’s never been ONE lover mentioned from his past.

              Not that it matters and I do not condone outing anyone’s HIV status, but everything about a potential president should be known.

          I don’t care about his love interests. I want to know where are all of his friends? Don’t you find it strange that a 47 year old man, who went to 3 universities, lived in 5 major cities, was a community organizer and an Illinois senator, has no friends eager to publicly vouch for him?

          • Liz B

            When you have an ego like Obama’s, you don’t have friends. When you have the background of Obama, what friends you might have, you don’t want mainstream America to know about. I would like to see the Hannity report on the “Unaccounted for” years. If anybody can expose the dirt, it is Sean.

            • csuzeq

              Rumor has it that Hannity has an FBI file on Obama that isn’t too great for the candidate. I don’t know for sure it is true, but I am hoping!

              • NoBamaNoWay

                please, let that be true.

            • http://deleted Kathleen

              No. Obama has been groomed by Brezinski, Ayres, Wright to move with meteoric speed into power since the day he met Brezinski at Columbia Univ. while BO was a student and Brezinski was a professor. He’s their front man. They are his friends. He will help them realize their agenda for a socialist America and one world government.

              To keep the truth from being told about who he really is, he couldn’t afford to fraternize with average people who might take issue and ask questions about his association with the likes of Ayres and Wright. Heck, even Oprah left Wright’s church because she did not approve of his message, but Obama stayed.

              Obama = Manchurian Candidate.

              • lastlemming

                Actually I think the machine planned to run Blagojevich but when it was clear B would be indicted, went to their second choice. That’s why Obama seems to be unusually strange as a candidate. I don’t think he ever thought he would do anything more than local (eg mayoral) politics. He has a good web of friends to go places in Chicago.

          • JP49

            Obama has a lot of friends. Did anyone see Hannity’s report. Outstanding. Its just that Obama doesn’t want to admit to the friends he has, all America haters.

          • vinnie

            I find it odd too. Not ONE friend who comes out to say “Barry and I used to…”

          • Brendy

            I find it VERY strange and VERY interesting that his white grandma or his sister is NEVER in the picture; they’ve never even been photographed have they? Does Obummer have any other family – nieces, nephews? And I don’t want to hear about his grandma being old or ‘sick’ – McCain’s MOM is 95 YEARS OLD AND SHE ALWAYS AROUND.

            Besides, Obummer was RAISED by his white grandma; you’d think HE would want her around him during this historical and exciting time of his life. Maybe he’s afraid his family members might acidentally mention something that Obummer doesn’t want us to know!

            Are the majority of Americasn in this country THAT stupid (or selfish – ‘thinking’ they’re going to a ‘free ride’ with Obummer) that they are willing to OVERLOOK his secret and mysterious past, along with his KNOWN corrupt, dangerous, racist past?

        • tek

          He lived with a white woman in Chicago until he left for Columbia. They were never married. Rumor has it they had two children.

          He was too busy planning the radical takeover of our country. Don’t all terrorist plan ahead? Well, so do radicals. I thought he was married around 1995 with Michelle. The years 18-until he married is SURE MISSING….Let me see…we know Palin’s life….18- present…so why don’t we know Obama’s? Because he has used socialist tactics forcing the media to shut their mouth and follow his commands. I guess the media has sold their soul to the messiah because they have made it a point not to “fish or search” the records. The end of journalist. Wait until “freedom of speech” is removed from them. You will see a bunch of them screaming and ranting- but it will be too late.

    • Liz B

      I was just reading some posts from the Stealing Ohio thread and it occurred to me, two can play this game…if homeless can go to Ohio to vote for Barack, then why can’t homeless go to Ohio and vote for McCain?
      I live a couple of hours away from Ohio, and I don’t have any problem anymore with playing dirty right back…at the very least, if we countered the effort, in an organized way, it would cause the Election results to be frozen and the courts to have to step in, manual vote counts in every state, if necessary. Sometimes you must push back.

      oh, this is good news. if he now is denying he knew about ayers that will stop him right there. It will make him look rather stupid, eh?, not knowing his buddy’s history of radicalism.

      • http://JohnMcCain.com Galt, Master Thrall of Planet Triskelion, Proprietor of the NQ Popcorn Concession

        I guess he’d rather look stupid than admit he knew of his past.

        • McHope

          The very fact that Obama LIED to the entire country about even knowing this man- just a guy who lives in his neighborhood- is the proof that he knew exactly what Ayers was about.
          If he were truly unaware,once AGAIN, then he’d have had no reason to lie about their relationship.
          Ayers, like Pfleger, Wright , Farrakhan (sp?),and all the others do not even remotely hide their views. We all know what they are about, Obama KNOWS- Obama is the centerpiece of the entire radical overthrow of America. His supporters just don’t seem to care.

      • JP49

        That doesn’t hold up for Obama since on 9-11-01 he is reported to have said that “I regret we didn’t do enough” when talking about his home side terrorist organization and what the perpetrated on America. obama is a liar. I bet he lies to himself. He can’t say the truth. He never learned how. He only learned how to lie and manipulate.

          Yep, here’s a snip from the article:

          ”I don’t regret setting bombs,” Bill Ayers said. ”I feel we didn’t do enough.” Mr. Ayers, who spent the 1970′s as a fugitive in the Weather Underground, was sitting in the kitchen of his big turn-of-the-19th-century stone house in the Hyde Park district of Chicago

        Sorry – Obummmer’s supporters could find out the WHOLE corrupt, lying truth about Obummer and it wouldn’t make a bit of difference to them – they JUST DON’T CARE ABOUT HIS CHARACTER – they just want him to WIN – period! I’m beginning to believe there are more people in this country looking for a free ride and/or just looking out for themselves and who could care less about values, honesty or decency.

    • vinnie

      First he said he was never Muslim. Then the AP photo came out, and he says that his step father stated his religious affiliation as such because it was easiest for everyone for him to do so. Then he said he never had Kenyan citizenship, but now on his own website, he ‘fesses up that he had Kenyan citizenship because Barack Sr. was a British subject and by default, he also had Kenyan citizenship. He never heard those hateful words from Rev. Wright, but maybe perhaps he did. Now, Ayers is moving from “just a guy in the neighborhood” to “I didn’t know his radical past”. Larry Sinclair, you may have your day yet. Popcorn anyone?

    • Karma

      That is the biggest bunch of bull there is.

      If he sticks with the claim that he doesn’t know who Ayers is. It completely contradicts his claim that living in foreign countries as a child made him more politically and socially aware of the world.

      Since these acts of terrorism were done in the name of third world countries and were also his mother’s causes. The Weathermen stayed in the news for years with their communiques and bombs. To think he wasn’t aware of Ayers and his group shows an incredibly ignorant child of the world.

      So was he sheltered from the reality around him as a child or was he fully aware as he claimed previously for his foreign policy cred?

      And why would saying….Obama is an idiot of recent American history….be a good excuse for a man running for President as the smart guy?

  • Dr. Kate

    What will be interesting to see is if Obama’s attacks on McCain “distracting with swift boat attacks instead of talking about issues” will work.

    I am convinced that they knew this stuff would come out and are trying to handle it with the race accusations, swift boat accusations, keating stuff.

    I hope that McCain will be able to defeat these distractions from Obama. I am getting nervous as obama seems so confident that he will win. It may be masking fear, but this is a game of chicken here. I hope obama blinks and stumbles soon, like in tomorrows debate.

            Perry
            I agree.
            The facts (with sources from the right,center, and left political spheres) need to get out quickly.

            People need to know that it is not JUST Fox that is making these accusation.

            Today’s msm has been corrupted so we need to go back in time to research these facts and put together for the voters.

            Go back AT LEAST five years (in my opinion, based upon my observations) and consolidate facts from varied sources and put together to present to voters.

            A liberal voter would be more open to believing facts that he/she learns are sourced from -oh I dont know maybe The Village Voice (prior to 2000) versus something sourced from FOX.

            I heard Tom Hartman radio broadcast this morning and he was furious about the recent ‘swiftboat attack’ against Sen Obama and he was quoting the article in the NYT as PROOF that Obama relationship with Ayers was casual.

            Lately he has been shouting down guests on his show who question Sen Obama’s integrity and he did this morning. Today he shouted down a person he was interviewing. This woman (I think she was with the International WOmen’s Forum-sorry I caught tail end of interview)was politely trying to bring forth facts about Ayers and Obama that negate the conclusion reached by the NYT but Tom Hartman kept shouting over what she was saying each time she brought out a fact that we here at NQ know has been confirmed several times over by investigative journalists and others.
            I have been a long time listener of Tom Hartman show and it bothers me to see the low levels he has been stooping too both in his use of ‘arguments and fallacies’ as well as shouting down guests who question Sen Obama’s ability to lead this country

    • Monet

      I am convinced that they knew this stuff would come out and are trying to handle it with the race accusations, swift boat accusations, keating stuff.

      Of course the Obama campaign knew the McCain campaign would hit them with the Ayers association in October. Why else would there have been a NY Times article this past weekend declaring there’s nothing to find between William Ayers and Senator Obama?

      Unless the McCain campaign can prove a direct association with Senator Obama holding a smoking gun puffing goals of overthrowing the U.S., it’s going to be ignored. It will have less impact than Rev. Wright did.

      The over age 40 voters have lived through Watergate, Irangate, Whitewater, etc… and they don’t pay attention to scandals anymore. They know they go nowhere. A few people might end up in a federal prison, but most end up with talk shows, book deals and speaking engagements that make them rich.

        Not true – these are actually the ones who will care most of BHOs associations with terrorists. We are the ones who grew up being taught to be proud of our country. We are the ones who care. It is the younger generation and those under 40 who spent their time fighting the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools, desecrating the American Fag and removing “GOD” from everything who won’t care. And that is exactly who we see voting for this anti American unpatriotic person who the democrat heads think should lead this country.

        You’re right and I don’t think Obama should even respond to these allegations.

          He thinks he can neutralize it all with age old counter attacks like Keating even though everyone knows McCain and John Glenn were completely cleared. He also thinks all he has to do is chant the magic words “racism” and “swiftboat” and the attacks will be foiled. Well I’ve got news for you, the republicans were planning for all that. There is a lot of hard documentation in the form of tapes, videos and documents from abroad to come.

          • Patrick

            Shiloh- I hope you are right! Can you elaborate? Are you a political insider for the GOP? Millions of us have been waiting patiently for the GOP/McCain to pull out the myriad of dirt on Obama, and so far–nothing that is sticking in the hearts/minds of many voting Americans (as is indicative of the poll numbers). Please reassure us that this stuff will finally come out and we will see Obama’s numbers plummet?

    • Diana L. C.

      The McCain campaign just needs to keep pushing him for proofs by asking specific questions: “You didn’t know about this when at that time you were here doing this?” etc. Keep Obama on the defensive, no matter how “above it all” he wants to be.

      McCain just needs to firmly say that the American people need to have a possible future President open records to his past–We are the ones who deserve to know these things. It should be easy to open records completely.

      Hannity’s show made it clear that O kept blocking access to lots of information.

    • Chicago

      Obama’s camp are panicking about the Ayers attack. we see Axelrod spew out a blatant stupid reply stating that Obama had no clue about Ayers’ bombing days…this after the fact that Obama had alrady stated that he condemned what Ayers’ did.

      if that isn’t a sign that they are panicking, I don’t know what is.

      the problem that Obama has is that in order for him to nullify the Ayers’ connection he has to answer the question about his Chicago Annenberg Challenge connection (the only executive experience he’s got that he doesn’t want to tout). If he can wiggle out of that, he’ll have to answer his Khalid connection. if he wiggles out of that, he’ll have to answer the ACORN connection. if he wiggles out of that, he’ll have to explain his citizenship status….it goes on and on and on, and I believe that McCain has a plan to lay all of them out in the open. Obama will have to shoot down bogies from all directions and by the time he shoots all of them down, people will start seeing that “where there’s smoke, there’s a fire.”

      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.

      • Diana L. C.

        Yes, I agree with Ani who mentioned this earlier in a thread. Hannity knew this stuff I am sure clear back during the primary, but he tried to throw mud on her. Hannity is just really agains Dems and wanted her out of the way because the Republicans knew she was the biggest threat to them.

        So–while I’m happy that Hannity is outing O’s past ties–I would have liked him a lot more if he had done it during the primary.

        I still feel strange watching Fox. And it really turns my stomach to have Ann Coulter now on this band wagon. I know women should now support all women, but Ann Coulter has not convinced me she is really a woman.

          I look at it this way. Hillary should have brought these things into the picture. She really should have. It is for the safety of America. Sure, the party may have frowned upon her for a while, but the voters would have felt she put country before party and been greatful to her.

      Vol. 17, No. 4

      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.”

      How much of this article ‘rings a few bells’ eh??! Someone send this to Hannity or the McCain campaign.

      • meileen

        Damn. And this candidate spoke out against the recent supreme court ruling regarding the death penalty? He believes it should be used for heinous crimes. Hmmmm. What is the predominant race sitting on death row? And how many were incarcerated at a young age?

        This man is full of contradictions. Or is bullshit a better word?

      • Chicago

        The right action here is not to send it to Hannity, I can guarantee you that he knows that stuff. the right action here is to send it to the mainstream media and tell them that “even us non-journalists can dig up evidence of Obama’s connection to Ayers yet you media types can’t. it’s either you are all idiots or it’s true that you’re all turned your backs on journalistic ethics and are actually coevering Obama from his dubious past.”

        the more people that does that, the more pressure it’ll have on the mainstream media.

      Now2 now Mike G, everyone knows, it was documented that Obama was sitting in Ayers/Dohrn’s livingroom when OJ murdered his wife, OBama has witnesses, the druges of Chicago politics like Edward Said et al!

      As for Manson, that is Obama’s good friend Dohrn who simply settled on marrying Ayers because Manson was occupied for a lifetime!

    • Arabella Trefoil

      Ayers and Dohrn were there at the founding of the Weather Underground. At a 1969 “War Council” that helped launch the organization, Dohrn raised three fingers in a “fork salute” to Charles Manson, whom she proposed as a revolutionary inspiration. She went on to joke about Manson’s victims and dubbed them the “Tate Eight” after Sharon Tate, the pregnant actress whom members of the Manson tribe stabbed in the womb with a fork. “Dig it,” said Dohrn at the time. “First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, they even shoved a fork into a victim’s stomach! Wild!”

      Or about how he was married to Charlie Manson?

      Well anyone who lived in Southern CA during August of 1969 remembers well the horror that happened and how freaky Charles Manson and his “family” were. More than a few screws loose for that evil man. Disturbing is it not that Barry is friends with a person who admires Charles Manson? Does Bernadine Dohrn think it’s perfectly acceptable to stab a 8 month pregnant woman 16 times?

      God help us if Barry gets elected.

    I hope McCain takes this issue on strongly in the Tuesday debate. McCain, as a former POW, can certainly have righteous indignation and disgust with a person like Bill Ayers. McCain can validly claim that he would not want to be in the same room with someone like that. I think this is a point only he can make and I hope he makes it. McCain’s convention speech was most effective when he talked about his love of country and his POW experience. Most Americans (except the DK crowd) do feel a great deal of love and respect for their country and would not want to be associated with someone they KNOW hates this country and wants to defeat this country. McCain can talk about this better than anyone.

  • http://americanpumainitaly.blogspot.com/ sarainitaly

    So, again we need to ask – is Obama the biggest liar on the planet, or the biggest moron? He didn’t ever know what Wright was preaching, and he didn’t know that Ayers was from the Weatherground?? So he is a HUGE liar, or the biggest idiot on the planet…which is it?

    I saw this on HotAir and thought it was hilarious!

    Obama’s Keating moment: Glenn stumps for Team O

    The Barack Obama campaign has decided to attack John McCain over his involvement in the Keating 5 scandal of the 1980s, but they have already demonstrated a rather peculiar way of doing it. Team O deduces that a rehash of the 20-year-old scandal may resonate with the current financial crisis, which may be true. If so, perhaps they should re-think their surrogate lineup:
    When the astronaut made way for the Boss on the Oval, 10,000 people roared in unison, “Bruuuuce!”
    “You don’t get introduced by John Glenn every day,” Bruce Springsteen said, breaking into an impromptu version of Mr. Spaceman.

    The Ohio State University campus was in a festive mood yesterday as the rock legend performed a seven-song, solo acoustic set on behalf of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. The free event, one of several Springsteen is doing for the Illinois senator, highlighted Ohio’s early-voting law.
    John Glenn? Senator John Glenn got caught in the same Keating 5 scandal that Obama now wants to use as an attack on McCain.

    • katmandu

      I thought the Glenn thing was hilarious. There’s a better word than irony here . . .

      Ben Smith at Politico makes this observation about Obnama not knowing about Ayers:

      On the other hand, Obama’s not that young. He started at Columbia University, for instance, in 1981, when their names were certainly in the New York tabloids, which haved always loved the story of upper-middle-class radical cop killers. Kathy Boudin’s role in a botched, fatal 1981 Brinks roberry was huge news. Bernardine Dohrn was imprisoned in 1982 for refusing to testify against fellow Weather Underground members. And Ayers’ past was hardly a secret in Chicago, where he was regularly quoted as an ex-radical and ex-fugitive.

      http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1008/Ignorance_of_Ayers.html?showall

      • http://americanpumainitaly.blogspot.com/ sarainitaly

        And you have to love this too:

        Update: Erick Erickson says that Obama would have had to avoid local media altogether in 1996 to miss the mentions of his friend and neighbor. In 1996, the Democrats held their national convention in Chicago, and Ayers got a lot of attention beginning with the decision in 1994:
        At the height of this exposure, major media outlets were quoting Bill Ayers and pointing out his radical past.
        What else happened in 1996 when the media was reminiscing about the Democratic Convention of 1968, and interviewing key players like Bill Ayers?
        Bill Ayers held a fundraiser for Barack Obama.
        And we’re really supposed to believe Obama did not know, by 1996, given all the major media coverage of the 1996 Democratic Convention going back to Chicago despite the 1968 riots — including local and national media interviews with Bill Ayers on the subject — that Obama did not know?
        You’ve got to be kidding me.

    • http://americanpumainitaly.blogspot.com/ sarainitaly

      And IF Obama didn’t KNOW what Wright was preaching, and Obama didn’t know who Bill Ayers was, and he didn’t know about Meeks or Phleger or Khalidi or any of these other people he has tossed under the bus, we are NOW supposed to give him the keys to the white house?

      So, when we find out he was lunching with bin Laden, or Ali Atwa or Ayman Al-Zawahiri we are supposed to believe that he didn’t know who they were?

      So, again – is he a liar or an idiot?

    When the bailout bill failed and the stock market dived we were told it was bad news for mccain. Now post bailout the stock market dives even farther. Is that still bad news for mccain?

    obama said the bailout bill met his ‘four principals’ and that he personally rounded up votes for the bill. Now stocks are tanking. Will the “liberal media” notice? Will they ask obama what happened? Or will just be more bad news for mccain?

  • kavala007

    The much touted bailout bill has failed to do its job and stabilize the markets. That is the result of the lack of trust in the system and in one another. This lack of trust, to a large degree, has been brought about by the current Democratic leadership and the MSM. Whatever they say no one believes. It is the end result of their attempts to subvert our democratic principles and like the first bailout bill loaded with pork, shove a candidate for the presidency down our throats. American citizens deserve better.

    If we had reporters with journalistic integrity, if the New York Times and the Washington Post were to do some real reporting and if the Democrats would stop saying such things as “GOD sent him” perhaps things would begin to stabilize. A little truth goes a very long way.

And to say that the Repubs haven’t either does not take away from the Dems. Two wrongs do not make a right. It’s about time to decide what is right with this country and who is right for this country and it is not Obama. So either help get rid of Obama or go back to your dislusional thinking that the Republicans deserve it and therefore so does the country. Obama isn’t good for this country, period.

    John McCain has said he’d run a clean campaign, but he sends out little Sarah to do the sleazy smear attacks. The MSM is not amused by the McCain campaign’s effort to turn this historic election into another mud slinging event. Sarah Palin should stop the personal attacks on Barack Obama and apologize to the American people. How would she like it if the tables were turn on her? Barack Obama knows how to take the gloves off and punch back.

    • Shiloh

      Did you really think he would get away with keeping his sordid past a secret? Obama never had a prayer, he is the most fatally flawed candidate in history.

    • beverly leslie

      Oh what poor Obarf can’t handle being picked on by a woman? Mccain is a genius for his strategy of using Palin. shows Obarf can’t handle a strong woman and he’s gong to cry about it, doesn’t present a good picture of him.

      • Freedom Fighter

        Too bad the press reactions to Palin’s attacks are universally negative. The more she attacks, the lower her approval will go down. The race is over already anyway, she should just lose graciously.

        • PhxNickD

          yeah that’s why 30,000 show up to see her without even the offer of a free concert. yep we sure think a lot less of Sarah now.

          People are won’t to say Republicans are brilliant campaigners (usually the Repubs themselves), but using Sarah Palin as their “attack” person is what you might call really stupid.

          Think about it. Sarah burst upon the scene, and millions were smitten with her. This shouldn’t be surprising because—smart or not so smart, experienced or not experienced—she is an attractive and personable woman. Those unaware of this are urged to have their eyes checked.

          But the Republicans have sent her out to dish the dirt on Obama, threatening to dissipate our good will for her. Are they trying to make her look like one of the gang—another dirt-dealing, potty-mouthed Republican? What were they thinking? (No need to answer that.)

          • Freedom Fighter

            Good point. Although I don’t personally know anyone smitten with her. Everyone I know thinks she is either stupid, scary, or both. I’d say rage and disgust are more appropriate emotions Sarah Palin elicits.

    I’ve got FOX on while I work and I’m dumbfounded that the idiot reports keep down playing the connection between Ayers and Obama. I’ve lost count of them saying it’s exaggerated and so forth. There are a few points noted how the Obama campaign is “coming unglued” at the questions.

    I’ve written on the topic before at NoQuarter and on my own blog. The evidence and many admissions by people around Obama of the connection and friendship is very clear. It definitely is not a question of Obama being 8 years old when Ayers was bombing the Pentagon. These two guys worked together while Obama was an adult. Obama worked for Ayers and together they spent over $160 million dollars. I’m sorry, I don’t know anyone throwing money around like that without knowing the people doing it. Plus, the spending was to fulfill Ayers’ agenda.

  • Duras

    As much as I wish it weren’t so, I don’t see how Obama can possibly lose this thing now. Even the “whitey tape”, if it actually exists, may not be enough to pull it out for McCain.

    With Wall Street and the economy in free fall along with housing values, voters are reflexively going to vote to put a different party in the White House, never mind which one of the candidates is the more genuine or better qualified (McCain) or which party is primarily responsible for this whole sub-prime credit debacle (the Democrats).

    Once again, George Bush sat around with his thumb up his ass and did absolutely nothing as this housing bubble inflated. I defended him for a long time, but I have at last been forced to conclude that he’s simply brain-dead. And now his parting gift to his country and his party is going to be the election of a limp-wristed, wet-behind-the-ears socialist as our next president.

    As a Republican, it pains me to no end to see that the percentage of voters identifying themselves as Republicans is now back to where it was right after Watergate. All of the gains that were made in the 80s and 90s have now been lost. Why? Because the reactionary elements of the party slimed a true leader and great American in John McCain in 2000 and instead nominated an idiotic, shallow frat boy who has wrecked both it and the country.

    Goodbye, George, you fucking moron. Kindly have the decency to retire quietly to Crawford after Obama’s inauguration in January while we try to rebuild what you and your cronies have destroyed.

        I am most assuredly NOT an “Obama troll”. I am a registered Republican and I have been a strong supporter of John McCain for many years. I’ve even sent him about $300 this year, which I’ve never done for any candidate before. That’s why it pains me so much that he’s probably going to lose this election when he is CLEARLY the better man. And it’s all because George Bush, schmuck that he is, has basically wrecked the Republican Party’s brand through 8 years of colossal mismanagement and cronyism. I’ll give Bush credit for preventing another 9/11 here in the US and for not giving up the ship in Iraq when almost everyone else in Washington wanted to do so. But in almost every other respect, he’s been a total fuck-up as president. Only Jimmy Carter ranks as low in my lifetime.

      McCain would write in 2002 that attending the two April 1987 meetings was “the worst mistake of my life“. Glenn has described the Senate Ethics Committee investigation as the low point of his life. McCain said, “The appearance of it was wrong. It’s a wrong appearance when a group of senators appear in a meeting with a group of regulators, because it conveys the impression of undue and improper influence. And it was the wrong thing to do.”

    Air America is at it again- on Young Jerks, the host first trashes Sarah Palin’s “hick” accent, spreading the smarm on thick. Then he dismisses the Ayers deal, saying “Obama should not be judged on stuff that someone else did when he was eight years old…anyway, whatever happened to Christian Forgiveness?”

    On the Bill Press show, the guest host actually started to use the word “repent” when referring to Ayers- as if Ayers has ever apologized for his actions.

    Let’s see- if I had a friend for years, and found out that forty years ago, he molested children, and to this day is proud that he molested children and whose only regret was that he had not molested more children, would I remain friends with this guy? Would I expect to be judged based on my decision to call this guy “honorable” and remain friends with him?

    What’s so hard to understand about this? The “Obama was only eight” crap is a total smokescreen. He’s not eight years old now. So what’s his excuse for associating, and being PROUD OF HIS ASSOCIATION, with this moron?

    He went to Wright’s church for 20 years, but didn’t know about his anti-American “sermons.”

    He was friends with Rezko, let the man help buy his house, but didn’t hear about the slumlords tenant complaints, didn’t know that slummy was under investigation.

    Now he wants us to believe that eventhough he kicked off his career in the living room of an American terrorist, he didn’t know about Ayers past?

    This is such bullshit. I’m so pissed that this clown has made it this far in the campaign to become President of the United States of America.

    We could have had Hillary, but those bastards at the DNC felt the need to lie and cheat for Obama.

    My question to Dean and Pelosi is this: “Was Obama worth it????”

    The Democratic Party threw away the working class, threw away women, threw away seniors, all for Obama??

    It’s amazing how they were so willing to throw away their base and the votes of 18 million people for him.

    • kgirl1028

      if obama fails to do any resarch before he takes a job, joins a church or buy a house why in the hell would we want him as president. OBama is trying to convince us he’s the one, but for an indiuidual running for a post that involves judgment and decision making, he is proving time and time again he sucks. I don’t care what the bots say, obama isn’t going to win this election, if he get’s in office, it’s because he cheated end of story. And in the end what ever happens to this country is not going to work out for them. you would have thought after eight years of a cheater in office they would know this but it’s so obvious they don’t. Obama’s a failure and lying on mccain, palin, and hillary does not change this. They will rot in a grave of their own making.

      • Thinker

        And I think that a lot of Obama supporters don’t want to admit that they made a mistake. They were fooled.

        Also, how can people like Shriver or other Kennedy’s continue to support a man like this?? Are they that afraid that The Clintons will become America’s first family?? Because imo, they already are. Sure, they aren’t perfect but I don’t think anyone on this whole entire Earth could ever accuse Bill or Hillary of being un-American, or not really caring about voters.

        And I blame the Obama voters for this mess. A lot of them are low-information voters and I bet you most of us on this site initially tried to warn the Obama supporters in our lives, but they just wouldn’t listen. The shit is about to hit the fan, and it didn’t have to be this way.

        We could have had Hillary, and I’m beyond pissed.

  • cynic

    With the rapidly worsening economy dominating the news and economic worries foremost in the mind of nearly every American voter, McCain and Palin are going to obsess about Obama’s aquaintance with an over-the-hill 1960s radical-turned-college professor?

    I’m beginning to wonder if they have completely lost their minds. If they can’t keep their focus on an obvious, immediate, serious threat to every middle and working class household in the nation, they’ve got no d-mn business being in the White House.

You can continue to sell out our country if you wish, but, we will keep presenting the facts and those facts are: Obama is a PLant- a plant developed by the likes of Farrankun, Ayers, Soros, Lewsinky, Wright, and the HOPE, the orgainzation run by American Islam.

        Just ask yourself how much of a threat what Bill Ayers did 40 years ago represents to America today. You can be angry at him if you want, but Ayer’s isn’t today’s news. He isn’t even yesterday’s news. What Bill Ayers did hasn’t mattered for four decades.

        Turn on your television and see what’s happening to regular Americans right now.

        Maybe that doesn’t matter to you because it hasn’t affected your own household yet.

HIs saul alinsky tactics are designed to threaten and guilt trip the middle class into voting for him. he is covering up an agenda designed to destroy the middle class, capitalism, and to bring america down from within.

          cynic is right. but you don’t have to be so uninformed. If you were educated, you’d be cynical about barky’s hopey changey dopey thing.

          • cynic

            There’s a difference between education and indoctrination. I have little difficulty discriminating between the two.

            Why would Barack Obama wish to “destroy the middle class, capitalism, and to bring America down from within”?

            (Judging from the market news right at the moment, someone else seems to be accomplishing just that.)

          You know it is so obvious people don’t read anymore, did you completely miss asope fables, did you ever pick up a bible, read a myth. My God! Obama is an individual who tells you nothing about himself. You don’t know him, cause he has only ben in the senate for two years and he wants you to elect him. you know people by their friendships the choices they make. You are about to place and individual in a job that is nothing but 100% decision making and you poo-poo the friends they keep. Screw this maybe these people are right. You have the ability to pick your leaders, and this is how much fracken thought you put into it. You have all these rights people would kill to have but you refuse to protect it by researching the people you place in office. See bush ran over us not because bush is bad but be cause dumbasses let him do it. You don’t care, all someone has to do is say all the right thing and you spred them. This bullcrap line of logic is the reason for all of our problems. “birds of a feather flock together” asope said that figure it out and then ask yourself the dumb question why does it matter who he hangs out with.

          Ayers, Soros, Brezinsky and all the rest of the Obama gang are going to affect how our government is run if Obama wins. The $$$ that you and I unwillingly give to Acorn through some of the people in this new radical democratic party will be used to take over their poor. In Venezuela, Cuba, or any other socialist or communist country it all starts from the bottom up, getting the poor on your side and convincing them they did not cause their poverty or misery, that it was all the horrible government and horrible corporations fault. The fact that anyone could think that Obama the man that has been so busy continously social climbing and has achieved nothing for the most corrupt, and now crime ridden city in the country is the answer to the economy and that you are going to give this social climber the power of the 11% approval rated senate is even scarier.

    So, let me get his straight…

    If Obama knew about Ayers he is a LIAR

    If Obama “didn’t know” about Ayers he is STUPID

    Which one of those makes him a great leader?

    Thought so.

    That’s why the only way Obama gets close to the White House is on a tour of DC.

    Why is Axelrod claiming that Obama was “in the dark” about Ayers’ history? No lights on?

  • http://! Clinton Fan

    How can you be “in the dark” about the Weather Underground, unless you’re an idiot who slept through your Twentieth Century History classes?

    How can you be “in the dark” when this Ayers guy has a certain additional home-town noteriety in your very own community?

    Obama is an inexperienced, clueless CROOK…but he wasn’t “in the dark.” He consorted with radicals because that “worked” in Chicago, that was “acceptable politics” at the local and state level. Now that he’s on the less accepting national stage, he’s trying to deny the bastards who gave him the leg-up in the first place.

    He’s not only a liar, but he’s an EXPEDIENT liar. Reminds me of Bush in that respect, actually.

They accept every excuse Obama and his campaign says, an appalling LACK of journalistic standards.

You’re going to have to participate in community service. You’re going to have to work in a homeless shelter, or a veteran’s home, or an underserved school, or join the Peace Corps.

      So we’re going to increase taxation with an even more progressive tax system and all of these students will be working for the state! No wonder the Communist Party USA loves you. College kids WAKE UP!

    There are loads of youtube video’s of the two in Kenya last year and 06 with obama campaigning together.
    Start calling into talk radio and pushing the Odinga story and Al-Monsour. Those are 2 radical connections that will end him.
    Odinga is important. Odinga massacred christians after he lost to the point there was so much bloodshed they made a power sharing agreement.
    The kenyan Government called Obama Odinga’s stooge.
    Odinga himself is on tape saying Obama’s father is his Maternal Uncle. Meaning they are first cousins.

    Start spamming sites like politico with video links from youtube. Go everywhere with alot of traffic and spam them with odinga. He is a murderer that Obama helped come to power, just a year ago.

    What about that Freedom Fighter? Do you really think it does not matter that every influential figure in Obama’s life has wanted the overthrow of our government and violence against whites and the destruction of isreal?
    It does not bother you that Obama’s teenage mentor was a communist and author of child pornography books? Obama’s own site says Frank Marshall Davis was his mentor. What can you say? How do you know there is not much much more to obama with all of the evidence mounting?
    I know you are a dem(like myself) that just hates repubs but are you willing to be so blinded by your hatred you will turn the keys to the kingdom over to a guy who refuses to talk about or give info about his life in the 80′s. No one from columbia knows him except a drug addict homo he lived with. No one knows how he got into Harvard, but a guy in an interview said Al-Monsouur founder of the panthers had been raising money for obama to go and lobbying him and others to get in.

    A mini scandal. The Jewish Council for Education and Research, a pro-Obama group run by Sarah Silverman among others, came up with a video that has Israelis up in arms. Israeli officials were interviewed and then their comments were taken out of context. There are stories at http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1222017470356&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

    http://www.jta.org/cgi-bin/iowa/breaking/110672.html

    “This is pure and simple deceit,” said Dayan, a former deputy military chief of staff and national security adviser. “I never expressed support for Obama, his approach or his opinions. I’ve also never expressed support for McCain. I think that these are respectable people, but we should not interfere in the American elections.”

    Halevi, a former Mossad chief, is quoted as saying Obama is “very impressive.” But he added he thought McCain was also impressive, a comment that was not included in the film.

    “I was asked at the end of he interview who I support, and I said that I didn’t think it was appropriate for an Israeli citizen to give such advice to an American voter on who should be the U.S. president, just as I think it is not proper that an American citizen give advice to an Israeli citizen who should be the prime minister of Israel.”

    He said his last comment was not included in the film either.

    Alpher was also angered by what he called “an act of deception.”

    “I made it very clear that I did not wish to take sides in the American elections,” he told the AP. “I never would have given the interview had I known that they would edit my words into a film that endorsed either candidate … they really misrepresented the purpose of the film.”

    McCain’s Monday Remarks in Albuquerque:
    My opponent has invited serious questioning by announcing a few weeks ago that he would quote — “take off the gloves.” Since then, whenever I have questioned his policies or his record, he has called me a liar.

    Rather than answer his critics, Senator Obama will try to distract you from noticing that he never answers the serious and legitimate questions he has been asked. But let me reply in the plainest terms I know. I don’t need lessons about telling the truth to American people. And were I ever to need any improvement in that regard, I probably wouldn’t seek advice from a Chicago politician.

    A middle America Democrat is not the same animal as a Massachusetts, New York or California Democrat. He or she may be fiscally conservative, in support of the Second Amendment and of the war on terror and may very well even be pro-life. This is exactly the type of Democrat to whom John McCain can appeal. There are also a lot of independent votes he can win here.

    John McCain and Sarah Palin can still win this election. In the same way that Democrat primary voters spent the latter races handing victory after victory to Hillary Clinton, the voters of Omaha Nebraska, Iowa as well as other farm belt areas and the rest of the nation will spend the next month soul searching as to whether they can really vote to put a radical like Barack Obama in the White House.

    It is impossible to go to Columbia and not know who Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground were. This is espececially so for someone who has Community Organizer and Political aspirations.

    SDS and the Weather Underground had their foudation in Columbia University.

    Columbia University has several web pages on SDS and the Weather Underground. It is woven into the fabric and history of the school.

    Just like at Notre Dame, everyone knows who Knute Rockney, the Gipper, and Rudy were, when you attend Columbia, you know who Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground were.

    Obama attended meetings with the “Chicago Democratic Socialists of America”
    From their website: “Our mission is to establish democratic socialism as a political force in the United States and around the world by training and mobilizing socialist activists to participate in a vibrant and diverse socialist organization at both the local and the national level.”

    In 1996 Barack Obama attended one of their meetings:
    “Over three hundred people attended the first of two Town Meetings on Economic Insecurity on February 25 in Ida Noyes Hall at the University of Chicago. Entitled “Employment and Survival in Urban America”, the meeting was sponsored by the UofC DSA Youth Section, Chicago DSA and University Democrats. The panelists were Toni Preckwinkle, Alderman of Chicago’s 4th Ward; Barack Obama, candidate for the 13th Illinois Senate District; Professor William Julius Wilson, Center for the Study of Urban Inequality at the University of Chicago; Professor Michael Dawson, University of Chicago; and Professor Joseph Schwartz, Temple University and a member of DSA’s National Political Committee.”

    “A true welfare system would provide for medical care, child care and job training. While Barack Obama did not use this term, it sounded very much like the “social wage” approach used by many social democratic labor parties. ”

    Obama Campaign Workers Seen With Communist Cuba Flag Depicting Marxist Che Guevara on it. Other Obama supporters “Che” Sympathizers

    For those of you who don’t know who Che Guervara is:

    “Guevara later served as Minister of Industries, in which post he helped formulate Cuban socialism”
    “Guevara played a key role in bringing to Cuba the Soviet nuclear-armed ballistic missiles that precipitated the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962. During an interview with the British newspaper Daily Worker some weeks later, he stated that, if the missiles had been under Cuban control, they would have fired them against major U.S. cities.”

        THE REAL CHE GUEVARA
        “Crazy with fury I will stain my rifle red while slaughtering any enemy that falls in my hands! My nostrils dilate
        while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood. With the deaths of my enemies I prepare my being for
        the sacred fight and join the triumphant proletariat with a bestial howl!”
        “Hatred as an element of struggle; unbending hatred for the enemy, which pushes a human being beyond his
        natural limitations, making him into an effective, violent, selective, and cold-blooded killing machine. This is
        what our soldiers must become … ” Che Guevara

        From the reports I heard when he was captured, he wasn’t so full of hatred then. He was cold, tired and wounded after being chased by “They Who Shall Be Unnamed” and when they caught him, they killed him. A Bolivian operative, more like a small time hood, had Che’s head and hands cut off and collected on the reward twice.

        Che’ Guevara was responsible for the documented murders of 180 Cuban citizens. He was a piece of shit.
        Anyone who idolizes him is, to me, less than that.

    Columbia University is where Obama learned of William Ayers, and first met him.

    SDS originated in Columbia, and the Weather Underground became the violent offshoot for those who felt peaceful demonstration was not enough.

    Mark Rudd was a leader of the 1968 Columbia University strike against the Vietnam War and racism, the last National Secretary of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), the largest radical student organization in the country in 1969, and a founder of the Weather Underground.

    http://www.markrudd.com/Homepage/Who%20is%20Mark%20Rudd.htm

    William Ayers ties to Columbia and Mark Rudd go back to 1968. It is undoubtedly where Obama first met Ayers.

    As a Columbia Student interested in “Community Organizing” meeting Ayers would be like a Buddist meeting the Dalai Lama. Ayers would be the ultimate mentor for Obama’s organizing ideology.

    SDS started in Columbia. From Columbia, SDS organized on many university campuses, of which, UM was one.

    The Weather Underground was the violent offshoot of SDS. The Weather Underground was started in Chicago, during the 1968 Democratic Convention.

    SDS members from campuses across the US met in Chicago during the convention. The radical offshoot split from SDS during the convention and started it’s rampage of violence during the convention.

    As a leader of the New Weather Underground, Ayers found a home at Columbia, where SDS got its start.

    McCain is finally taking off the gloves about Fannie Mae, directly accusing Obama of lying.

    Senator Obama has accused me of opposing regulation to avert this crisis. I guess he believes if a lie is big enough and repeated often enough it will be believed. But the truth is I was the one who called at the time for tighter restrictions on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that could have helped prevent this crisis from happening in the first place.

    Senator Obama was silent on the regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and his Democratic allies in Congress opposed every effort to rein them in. As recently as September of last year he said that subprime loans had been, quote, “a good idea.” Well, Senator Obama, that “good idea” has now plunged this country into the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.

    To hear him talk now, you’d think he’d always opposed the dangerous practices at these institutions. But there is absolutely nothing in his record to suggest he did. He was surely familiar with the people who were creating this problem. The executives of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have advised him, and he has taken their money for his campaign. He has received more money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac than any other senator in history, with the exception of the chairman of the committee overseeing them.

    Did he ever talk to the executives at Fannie and Freddie about these reckless loans? Did he ever discuss with them the stronger oversight I proposed? If Senator Obama is such a champion of financial regulation, why didn’t he support these regulations that could have prevented this crisis in the first place? He won’t tell you, but you deserve an answer.

      “…he has taken their money for his campaign. He has received more money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac than any other senator in history, with the exception of the chairman of the committee overseeing them.”

      That, dear friends, is Barney, the “Big Purple Dinosaur” Frank, whose ex-lover was second in command at Fannie’s ‘new business’ bureau and directly benefitted from pillow-talk.
      McCain MUST bring this out, too. The MSM will fight tooth and nail to keep from these stories. McCain’s best chance is to force a response from Barry and the MSM that they can’t deflect or dodge. Ayers, ACORN, Fannie and Frank.

    I suspect, that if all the college records were revealed by Occidental, Columbia and Harvard (particularly Occidental), that is will show he applied with “Kenyan citizenship”. That would explain how a self proclaimed “bad student, with bad grades” got into this college (and the others). Many colleges will lower the standards to admit student listed from other countries to make their enrollment stats look more appealing.

    • Dr. Kate

      HI Patrick, always glad to hear your comments.

      My own view is that Obama probably had someone else take the classes and tests for him at Columbia.

      But its time for this unknown candidate to come clean about everything. He is running for POTUS for gods’ sake!

        Dr Kate-

        You may be correct.

        Not sure if you have read this article containing interview with Webster Tarpley-

        Read what he says about Sen Obama’s missing college/law school years ….

    Obama Wants to Normalize Relations with Communist/Socialist Cuba

  • Maverick

    Obama’s mother, Stanley, attended classes in high school where there was a member of the Communist party on the school board. 2 teachers that highly influenced her life taught about Communism and Marxism.

    “In 1955, the chairman of the Mercer Island school board, John Stenhouse, testified before the House Un-American Activities Subcommittee that he had been a member of the Communist Party.
    At Mercer High School, two teachers — Val Foubert and Jim Wichterman — generated regular parental thunderstorms”
    “”I had them read ‘The Communist Manifesto,’ and the parents went nuts,” said Wichterman”
    “For Stanley Ann, the teachings of Foubert and Wichterman provided an intellectual stimulant”

    “Obama called his mother “the dominant figure in my formative years. . . . The values she taught me continue to be my touchstone when it comes to how I go about the world of politics.”

      Maverick,
      Here is a Times article on Sen Obama’s mother.
      Acc to article, she met Sen Obama’s bio dad during her first semester at University of Hawaii when they were both taking a Russian language course.

      Sen Obama NEVER talks or wirtes about his mother.Why not?

      This woman had a PhD. She worked on setting up BANKING PROGRAMS in several countries in Asia.

    Gee, if Bobo is so dense that he didn’t realize the facts about Ayers, Rezco, and Wright–for starters–then what will HE see in Putin’s eyes?! And did ole’ Bobo just hear about the accusations regarding Ayers? Why didn’t he protest several months ago? Lord have mercy, how can ANYONE even think of putting this man in the Oval Office? Either he’s one of the biggest liars or biggest fools on the planet!!

  • Arabella Trefoil

    McCain on Fox and boy he rocks!

      Extremely impressive. JohnnyMac has chosen exactly the right time for this type of campaigning.

      Maybe other news outlets will join Fox and the mainstream media will begin to do their jobs by finally vetting Barack Obama, now.

    • Deb

      Whoa- McCain hit Barry with both barrels- blasted him!

      What a terrific speech- nailed him on Fannie and Freddie- and that was just the beginning. Fantastic! Now- get ready for cries of racism- and when they start- let McCain say- SEE? When Sen. Clinton brought these questions up- they claimed the same thing!

      • fif

        They’re trying to dig up Keating 5. Ridiculous. Let’s ignore McCain’s record for 26 years, and find something for which he was exonerated. Are they going to go after John Glenn too?

    • fif

      FINALLY!!!

  • Patrick

    Did everyone call the RNC yet to get McCain to ask Obama DURING THE DEBATE “Why won’t you release, UNEDITED, any and all records from Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard?” He should then further make a public challenge while millions of us are watching stating “I challenge you, Senator Obama, to allow the release all of these records tomorrow”

    RNC 202-863-8500

    It wouldn’t hurt to contact the McCain headquarters to state the same thing.

  • fif

    That Axelrod excuse is absolutely pathetic. You know what’s worse? People will eagerly believe it. Just like we are supposed to believe that he had no idea what Rev. Wright’s ideology was, and he had no idea that Rezko was unethical, despite the fact that all of Chicago knew he was under federal investigation.

    Obots are blind when it comes to Obama. That’s what is frightening, and the media will willingly sell the lie. This morning Andrea Mitchell was on TV citing the NY Times story as PROOF that Obama is not close to Ayers. That is exactly what happened with the war. Bush & Co. planted stories in the Times with Judith Miller, and then they cited the Times as proof that it was true.

    • athy

      fif-
      That is what radio host Tom Hartman did too-he cited NYT article as PROOF that Sen Obama’s relationship with Ayers was casual and that the Republicans are out to swiftboat Sen Obama.

      I cant believe the NYT would write an article like this ignoring all the well researched info out there which provides excellent support for the contrary situation (close personal/professional relationship) being more likely.

      And they are doing this so close on the heels of the Judith Miller Iraq’s WMD fiasco is UNBELEIVEABLE
      and UNFORGIVABLE

      • fif

        The McCain camp should create a commercial of Obama and his friends with clips of him denying every single relationship exactly the same way:

        Rev. Wright:
        “I was not in the church that day” & later
        “He is not the man I knew 20 years ago.”

        Rezko:
        “He is not the man I knew.”

        Ayers:
        “Just some guy from my neighborhood.”

        Kahlidi:
        “A professor that I knew casually at Columbia.”

        etc. etc. etc. He is a compulsive liar, and gets away with it.

    McCain should tie Ayers to Obama’s base.

    Obama supporters see nothing wrong with the Weathermen. Bill Ayers is their hero. Bill Ayers knows he can sell books on Daily Kos by stomping on the American flag. These are the people who are giving Obama money and trying to foist Obama on America.

  • http://none donnal

    How could he not know?

    He has been sitting in Rev Wright’s church since at least 1985, and Wright knows who Wm Ayers was.

    It is possible that his friend Frank Davis may have introduced them back at his Columbia days?

    Why does he not have any friends to come forward, well other than Larry Sinclair.

    Take a look at his district in Chicago, either this man is a fool or needs glasses, how could he not know what is happening around him?

  • Wow just Wow

    Actually – studies have consistently shown that the “Bradley effect” more or less petered out by the early 90s.

    Analysis of polls and election results since then have shown no discernible “bradley” trends regarding African-American candidates.

    In fact – while we should not use a single cycle as proof of anything – Obama actually outperformed the polling averages by a significant margin.

    From the Economist: http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2008/07/barack_obama_versus_his_polls.cfm

    Or – and yes, yes, Nate Silver is in the tank for Obama, blah, blah — but just check the table. Numbers don’t lie. Obama actually OUTPERFORMED primary polls by an average of 3.3 pts:
