And people think Bill Ayers is *no big deal*?
William Ayers dedicated his 1974 book, Prairie Fire, to the man that assassinated Bobby Kennedy.
And Obama thinks it is okay to serve with, work with, and socialize with this guy, the man who dedicated his book to the man that killed Robert F. Kennedy?
Obama thought it [...]

“Guilt By Participation”
Writes Politico about this ad:
The Republican Party on Monday morning will make a new push to convince voters that distant ties between Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and former radical William Ayers are somehow disqualifying for the presidency.
The Republican National Committee plans to e-mail “an audience of tens of millions” the link to a [...]

This new McCain ad is titled simply: “Ayers,” and describes some of the actual crimes that Ayers and Dohrn committed (more stories coming on those crimes, because they are horrific and must be known).
NOTE: Below, the video, I typed the powerful words of Gov. Frank Keating, a former FBI agent, who appeared on MSNBC [...]

As I have explained to Global Labor readers, the New York Times interviewed me for their recent story on the Ayers/Obama relationship. After the story ran I blogged on the inadequacy of the story and received an email from the reporter, Scott Shane. An exchange of emails followed and below is the most recent exchange.
There [...]

I can easily understand why some readers may have become confused by the explosion of stories today on the Obama/Ayers relationship.
The partial story told by the New York Times today is collapsing of its own weight but has likely added to the confusion. Since I am one of the “bloggers” referred to without an explanation [...]

Remember this? Do you remember Barack’s snide line about Hillary Clinton?
“Who does she think she is? Annie Oakley?”
Well, Barack. Here’s another tough woman comin’ at you. This Annie Oakley is sharp too, and she’s taken aim at your long, close relationship with terrorist William Ayers that you’ve tried to conceal because, among many terrorist [...]

Some may be inclined to commend the New York Times for a “good start” (You know the old joke? What do you call a 1000 lawyers chained together at the bottom of the ocean? A good start.) But while offering the appearance of an in depth investigation The New York Times actually [...]

An exchange of letters in late 1994 (links below) between Vartan Gregorian, the President of Brown University, Adele Simmons, President of the MacArthur Foundation, and Bill Ayers, the founder of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, demonstrate that Ayers played a direct personal role in the recruitment of members of the Challenge’s board of directors.
The Board was [...]

UPDATE at 1:44 p.m. ET: A friend tells me that House Republicans are on CNN complaining that it was Nancy Pelosi, and her highly partisan speech right before the vote, that doomed the measure. One thing is sure clear: Nancy Pelosi was unable to deliver enough Democratic votes (the Democrats had 94 [...]

(bumped up by SusanUnPC from 2 a.m. today, because it fits so well with Steve Diamond’s piece)
Ben Smith is a dishonest, sloppy excuse for a journalist. He accuses the McCain campaign in his posting at Politico of misrepresenting the case against Bill Ayers and is too damn lazy to do rudimentary research. The [...]

William Ayers was just a guy in the neighborhood—Barack Obama
We know that this is a lie. See my reprised post at bottom, which is worth reviewing as Obama was at it again in his interview with O’Reilly where he repeated his lies in this interview. It was a shame that Bill gave him [...]

As Global Labor readers are well aware the University of Illinois at Chicago denied Stanley Kurtz of National Review access to the official records of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, the six-year-long $160 million education reform project led by, among others, Barack Obama and Bill Ayers.
The denial of access to the archives of the CAC was [...]

Why is Barack Obama and his campaign lying about his relationship and association with William “Bill” Ayers? Consider what Obama said on April 16, 2008 when asked about Ayers at the ABC Primary Debate in Philadelphia:
“This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who’s a professor of English in Chicago who I know [...]

Much attention is rightly being paid to Governor Palin’s speech from Wednesday night. But there were compelling points made by other speakers at the Republican Convention. For example, Rudy Guiliani, former mayor of New York City, said the following regarding Obama’s resume:
On the other hand, you have a resume from a gifted man [...]

I now have two sources confirming that Barack Obama’s Communications Director, David Axelrod has been communicating regularly with unrepentant terrorist and former member of the Weathermen, Bill Ayers, about how to respond to stories trying to report on Obama’s longstanding relationship with Ayers. One of my sources tells me that one person, a TV [...]

1) From memeorandum, Politico has a piece describing some of the pressure brought to bear on Ayers-relationship researcher and conservative writer for NRO Stanley Kurtz. You may remember, Kurtz is writing about his efforts to see the Annenberg papers secreted away on the UIC campus library.
Barack Obama’s campaign hasn’t advertised this a [...]
