Obama threatens TV stations airing Ayers ad
Michelle Malkin — The Obama campaign is giving a glimpse of the future for conservative free speech.

Obama Tries To Silence Ayers Ads
A Blog For All — ... How and why exactly would Ayers pick Obama to be the first chairman of an organization despite the fact that Obama had no practical experience other than as a community organizer at the time? Why would Obama work for Ayers? A commercial put together American Issues Project, which is funded in part by Harold Simmons, who was a backer of the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth, highlights those ties and raises the questions I've been raising here for some time. It's that ad that the Obama camp is trying to silence . Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor said Obama supporters have inundated ...

Why Is Obama So Sensitive About Ayers?
Ankle Biting Pundits — ... As good as the Obama campaign was in the primary against Hillary, they are really making some head-scratching decisions in the general election.  Case in point is their “hit-back” response against a 527 group’s advertisement linking Obama to unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers, as well as trying to get stations not to run the original ad. ...

The Truth Hurts
Power Line — A group called American Issues Project created this excellent ad on Barack Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers.

Circus Week Short Takes: Day 2
Stubborn Facts — We DO haz circus! As the DNC stumbles into Day 2, the circus seems mostly to be about the convention itself, and not so much about the clown parade outside. The protester numbers predicted by such radical organizers as Recreate '68 and Tent State University just don't seem to even remotely match projections, and despite some minor skirmishing the street scene's been fairly sedate, apart from one middlin' anarchist incident. (See Zombie, below.) I attribute the low circus-clown turnout to some impeccable scheduling by the DNC, which put the Denver convention up against Burning Man. Given the choice between "speaking truth to ...

Obama’s goes after 527s
The Moderate Voice — ... 2. His supporters are punishing the media. Obama supporters have been inundating stations that air the ad (as well as their advertisers) with e-mails to pressure them to pull the spots. So far, there are signs that it’s working. CNN and Fox news aren’t airing the attacks, although it has run in some local markets in swing states. This could be the most effective tactic for countering “swiftboaters”, although, the real challenge is not preventing stations from running the ads as commercials but keeping the talking heads from making the attacks an ...

Lopez: Obama Lies
National Review Online — O n Wednesday, the Obama campaign — no 527, the Obama campaign itself — released an ad , en Espa ol , trying to use talk-radio king Rush Limbaugh against John McCain.

OBAMA HAS HAD REGULAR INTERCOURSE WITH SCUM
Dr. Sanity — I tend to agree with Peter Kirsanow on this: Obama's Disqualifier Andy McCarthy's right that it's imperative to attack the premise that Obama's a plausible president. Obama consorted with a terrorist who brags about planting bombs and whose organization planted hundreds of bombs. Some were meant to kill cops. Some were meant to kill soldiers. Some were meant to kill civilians. Let's put this quite simply: This is an abomination. This alone disqualifies Obama from being president. Even if he can heal the planet. Even if the Dow tanks to 5000. Even if he puts a unicorn in every garage. A majority of ...
