Independent Group With Links to McCain Campaign Assails Obama on Ayers
Political Punch —
What Should McCain Have Said? | Main Independent Group With Links to McCain Campaign Assails Obama on Ayers August 22, 2008 10:14 AM"Beyond the speeches, how much do you know about Barack Obama?" asks the new TV ad from a non-profit conservative group called the Americans Issues Project. "What does he really believe?" The ad then tries to tie 9/11 to the Weather Underground and William Ayers, and Ayers to Obama."United 93 never hit the Capitol on 9/11," says the ad, "But the Capitol was bombed thirty years before – by an American terrorist group called Weather Underground…that declared 'war' on the U.S. – targeting the Capitol, the ...
Obama's Brownshirts
Doug Ross @ Journal —
... (CAC). A cursory review of the files reveals that Obama and Ayers "attended board meetings, retreats and at least one news conference together," which contradicts Obama's statement on April 16, 2008 during a Democratic debate . This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who's a professor of English in Chicago who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis. Actually, Obama and Ayers were very close. This is evidenced by not only their leadership of the CAC, but also their collaboration as ...

The Democratic Presidential Debate, April 16, 2008 : STEPHANOPOULOS : ...on this issue, general theme of patriotism, in your relationships. A gentleman named William Ayers. He was part of the Weather Underground in the 1970s. They bombed the Pentagon, the Capitol, and other buildings. He's never apologized for that. ...
Hugh Hewitt: Obama's Ayers' Gambit and The Questions It Should Raise
Townhall.com Blog's TownHall Blog —
Yesterday I played the tape of Barack Obama telling a crowd that he was being accused of being a Muslim, and of associating with radicals. This was a weak attempt to asssociate the disreputable and unfair charge concerning Obama's faith -- never made by any responsible journalist much less the McCain campaign-- with the very real concern that Obama's friendship and close partnership on the Annenberg Challenge with unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers. Obviously Obama is hoping to persuade the public and journalists that the story of Obama's association with Ayers is as irresponsible as nutter claims that Obama is a Muslim. Obama has used this tactic before ...

Why Won’t MSM Explore Obama’s Lies about Ayers?
GayPatriot —
Perhaps a liberal friend of mine is right and there’s nothing much to the story of his candidate’s longtime association with an unrepentant terrorist. But, I keep asking him if there’s nothing to that story, why does Obama keep misrepresenting his relationship with William Ayers.
First, the Democratic presidential nominee describes him as just a guy in the neighborhood, contending in April he’s “not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.” Earlier this month, when Bill O’Reilly asked him about his relationship with Ayers and his wife Bernadette Dohrn, Obama dismissed the question, saying ...
NBC sends team to Hanoi to investigate McCain, doesn’t send one to Chicago to investigate Obama
GayPatriot —
On Monday, Glenn Reynolds posted a note he received from a reader who works in a “major newsroom:”
Off the record, every suspicion you have about MSM being in the tank for O is true. We have a team of 4 people going thru dumpsters in Alaska and 4 in arizona. Not a single one looking into Acorn, Ayers or Freddiemae. Editor refuses to publish anything that would jeopardize election for O, and betting you dollars to donuts same is true at NYT, others. People cheer when CNN or NBC run another Palin-mocking but raising any reasonable inquiry into obama is derided or flat out ignored. The fix is in, and its ...

McCain Invokes Hillary To Hit Obama Over Ayers
TPM Election Central —
... Also, I think the Hillary quote McCain's referring to here is from a Dem primary debate in which the candidates were asked about Ayers. If so, McCain is misrepresenting Hillary's remarks: She said Republicans would dredge up Ayers and use him against Obama, and she lamented that fact. She didn't say that they "should," as McCain says. Not that facts matter...oh, never mind. ...

" I don’t know him. " " I don’t know him ." " I didn’t know him. " " I had nothing to do with them ." If I had asserted in one of my autobiographies that I chose my friends and associates carefully and people began to examine the character of my friends and found nothing but thieves, terrorists and racist demagogues, I might be tempted to disclaim them also. The thing I find so amazing, however, is how easily Barack Obama denies the persons with whom his ties are deep , meaningful and long-standing . How easily does Obama abandon his ...
