Editor’s Note: Because Paula Abeles’ special No Quarter Radio guest tonight is David Alinsky, the son of Saul Alinsky, we are republishing articles written during campaigns. This story by Bud White was published in October 2008. Tonight, David Alinsky reminisces about his father’s work and beliefs, and discusses the influences of Saul Alinsky [...]

So, I went to YouTube a few moments ago, and found the following video. I know, I know, we have discussed this issue a bunch, and “Voldebama” is still the “President-Select.” But I think it bears repeating – we ARE known by the company we keep, or we should be:
As a bonus for [...]

Just when you had wished you had indeed heard the last of Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, it turns out they are publishing a new manifesto described in brief on Amazon.com.
What makes the [...]

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 [...]

Let’s tie this open thread’s chief topic to Truthteller’s significant breaking story, “BREAKING: Obama Land Deal with Rezko and Mutual Bank Subject of New Court Complaint.”
Recently, a friend asked for information on now convicted Tony Rezko and Barack Obama. Here’s what I sent her, from more stories on the Obamas’ mansion to Obama’s entanglements [...]

“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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Thank you, blogger McNorman, for these telling videos shown below–taken in 2007.
We have listened ad nauseum to Obama spin about his relationship with Bill Ayers. We have just about heard it all, from “I was 8 years old when he did these things” to “He’s just a guy!” to “His [adult]children went to school with [...]

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 [...]

The other night was a surreal experience.
Chicago is home to a retired conservative University of Chicago professor named Milt Rosenberg who hosts an evening talk show on WGN radio. WGN stands for “World’s Greatest Newspaper” because it is owned by the Tribune Company which also owns the Chicago Cubs. Jack Brickhouse, the voice of the [...]

The American Issues Project, a conservative 527 group, is running the following ad in Michigan and Ohio.
The strength of the ad is its accuracy. Unlike the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth’s ads, there is no available counter-argument. Bill Ayers is an unrepentant terrorist. Obama’s political career was launched at Bill Ayers’ house. Obama did serve [...]

Here is a second group of records of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (”CAC”), the education reform project founded by Bill Ayers and which he led with Barack Obama from 1995 until 2001. The Challenge spent some $160 million in the Chicago Public School system during that time period with the explicit goal of improving educational [...]

If you take the Obama campaign at its word, the contention that there is a relationship between Bill Ayers and Barack Obama is “phony,” “tenuous,” a “stretch.” In Obama’s own words, Ayers was “just a guy who lives in my neighborhood,” certainly not a long time close political ally.
But a review of just the publicly [...]
