ayers dedicated his book to sirhan sirhan »

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 [...]

If You Don’t Think Bill Ayers Can’t Wait To Get His Talons Into Our National Education System… »

As you probably already know, The University of Nebraska-Lincoln cancelled a speaking engagement with Bill Ayers, ironically citing “security concerns”. Imagine the guy who scared the crap out of America for years with his bombs having to worry about “security”. What karma!
First, when he was booked, they had this to say:
“We are pleased to offer [...]

Obama and Ayers WORKED in the SAME Office & Address For Three (3) Years »

For three years, and as recently as 2000, Barack Obama and William Ayers WORKED in the same Chicago office — along with Mike Klonsky, another infamous member of the bomb-setting domestic terrorists of the Weather Underground.
Great. Our next president may not just be the most liberal politician to ever serve but his only major achievement [...]

WADE RATHKE: ACORN’S FOUNDER, AYERS’ COMPATRIOT »

(bumped up by SusanUnPC from its morning spot because this is yet another of Bud White’s great investigative articles that you’ll want to read and share with everyone)

The lines of evidence now converge: the founder of ACORN is Wade Rathke, who, like William Ayers, was a member of the Students for a Democratic Society. The [...]

Neighborhood(lums) * Open Thread [with 2 updates + "Harriet Christian needs you!"] »

Hilarious (!) Update #2: Some (former?) employee in Barack Obama’s campaign inner sanctum accidentally released all of Obama’s “talking points” for tonight’s third and final debate against John McCain. Jake Tapper has the story:
"* This is John McCain’s last chance to turn this race around and somehow convince the American people that his erratic [...]

“Kill Your Parents”! And Don’t Forget To Vote! »

No Quarter has a jaw-dropping piece on a revolting forum that was sponsored by Michelle Obama, where Bill Ayers and Barack Obama discussed children who kill and “whether or not” we should treat them like “super predators”.
I can see where Bill Ayers would find this subject dear to his heart since he did say, “Kill [...]

RNC Comes Out Blazing: “Guilt By Participation” »

“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 [...]

“Obama & Friends: Judge Not?” »

The following was in my local paper this morning, and I wanted to share:
Obama & Friends: Judge Not?, By Charles Krauthammer
Friday, October 10, 2008; A19
Convicted felon Tony Rezko. Unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers. And the race-baiting Rev. Jeremiah Wright. It is hard to think of any presidential candidate before Barack Obama sporting associations with three more [...]

MSNBC Lets a Little Real News Peek Through »

In Friday’s First Read on MSNBC, Mark Murray filed a roundup that has me completely shocked! A little anti-Obama news actually saw the light of day. They’d better hurry and shackle Mark Murray before he gets completely out of control. Here are the pertinent tidbits:
Murray refers to a report coming out of [...]

The Bill Ayers Who Obama Has Been Close to For Over Two Decades »

All of you regular readers know all about Barack Obama’s extensive ties to William (Bill) Ayers, for over two decades — probably longer since the two lived about a block apart in New York City while Obama was at Columbia University (he graduated in 1983).
Besides their long political and social ties in Chicago [...]

Sleeper Cell: ACORN, Obama, and the Housing Crisis »

(Image from Audacity of Hypocrisy)
Before ACORN became a household name, Larry Johnson and Eastan McNeal reported that the Obama campaign has been funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars to a shady ACORN shell corporation called Citizens Services, Inc. New information, including the photo above, proves that Obama’s past denials of his relationship with ACORN are [...]

Voter Fraud in Ohio; Judge Issues TRO Against Ohio Secretary of State »

I find it unbelievable that a U.S. district judge must issue an order requiring that the Ohio Secretary of State verify registrations.
“Plaintiffs assert, and the court agrees, that it is hard to imagine a public interest more compelling than safeguarding the legitimacy of the election of the president of the United States,” [U.S. District [...]
