Erasing Obama's Past

The Challenge's papers are housed at the Richard J. Daley Library at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Shielding The Facts About Obama’s Relationship With Terrorists

Stanley Kurtz: Obama was COB for Ayers organization
Ace of Spades HQ — ... and NRO have a lot more on this , but it sounds like a big deal to me given the Messiah's statements about Ayers being just some guy who lived down the street that he met at a few social gatherings. There's lots of people on my street, but none of them have asked me to be the Chairman of the Board of some organization they're running.

Kurtz seems to think Bill Ayers might be behind blocking access to ...

Pajamas Media — ... what the CAC actually did. There are two serious issues here: Mainstream media have shown an almost complete lack of interest in both of them. We now know that the CAC ran through $160 million dollars –$50 million from the Annenberg Foundation, managed by Brown University — and a reported $110 million dollars in matching funds.
