Speaking of Cover-Ups...
The Discerning Texan — OK, I did have to link this fine piece of work by Tom McGuire. To illustrate my earlier points about Obama, the Left, cover ups and the media. And McCain taking off the gloves (finally...): ...

Obama - Ayers Cover-Up Into The Spotlight
USS Neverdock — Thursday, August 21, 2008 Obama - Ayers Cover-Up Into The Spotlight Just like the media coved up for John Edwards, watch for them to cover this up as well. Labels: ...

A few Thurs. political links
Maggie's Farm — ... were thinking, 'That was hard? Is that the best you've got?' Obama is polished (though much less so at this event), but McCain is Real.

Fox Refuses To Air Anti-Obama/Ayers Ad
Nice Deb — ... as expected…but why would a news agency have a problem with it? The truth is the truth. Did Fox give a reason for its refusal to run the ad? No. A Fox spokesman would not say why the network declined to run the ad, which was scheduled to run yesterday, and today in Michigan and Ohio. Does Fox News really believe Obama when he says that Bill Ayers was “just a guy in the neighborhood” , just a guy he served on a board with? Doesn’t this news agency keep up with the news? The connection between the terrorist Ayers and Obama is ...
