CNN Turns on Obama, Puppetmaster Ayers
Confederate Yankee — CNN Turns on Obama, Puppetmaster Ayers Just a month out from the 2008 Presidential elections, someone at CNN finally to a long, sober look at the carefully choreographed rise of Barack Obama through the world of Chicago politics and thought, " My God, what have I done?" The panicked result is brutal. The take-away? If Bill Ayer's hands were any further up Barack Obama's backside, we'd have to change his name to Lambchop ...

I Just Don't See Why Everyone Is So Hot Under the Collar About This Ayers Guy.
Little Miss Attila — I Just Don't See Why Everyone Is So Hot Under the Collar About This Ayers Guy. I have neighbors. Sometimes we say hi. Once in a while we work on boards together, trying to socially re-engineer education or at least redistribute funds to socialist-leaning groups. A board here, a nonprofit there. Sometimes we have respectful disagreements about whether certain types of civil disobedience go too far. Like, is the attempted murder of Pentagon workers ethical? How about the attempted murder of nine-year-old children? ...

Who are those guys?
QandO — First we had Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama’s preacher for 20 years. We find out Wright is anti-American, antisemitic and bases his church in the black liberation theology of James Cone. What clued us in was the fact that he preaches all of that from the pulpit and it was available on DVDs sold out of the lobby of the church. ...

CNN Investigates Ayers (Video)
Tennessee Guerilla Women — CNN reporter: "But the relationship between Obama and Ayers went much deeper, ran much longer, and was much more political than Obama said." So what is this? CNN's idea of an October Surprise? Here we are in the general and the media finally decides to look at Barack Obama's relationship with William Ayers? They couldn't do this way back in the primary when Senator Obama stood on the debate stage and said Ayers was just some guy in the neighborhood? Just some guy he was on a board with? I've already said that hanging with Bill Ayers is not a big deal to me, but clearly it is a big deal to many Americans and the ...

CNN: Obama’s lying about William Ayers
Hot Air » Top Picks — CNN: Obama’s lying about William Ayers posted at 7:38 am on October 7, 2008 by Ed Morrissey Send to a Friend | printer-friendly You’ll want to double-check the logo at the bottom left corner during this report.  It really is CNN and Anderson Cooper fact-checking Barack Obama’s claims to have barely known William Ayers — and calling it dishonest.  Stanley Kurtz even gets to make an appearance on a network other than Fox for this report (via Dirty Harry’s Place ): Drew Griffin runs down most of the salient points raised by people like Kurtz, David Freddoso, Jerome Corsi, and others. Obama’s admission in a ...

CNN: Obama Lying About Connections With William Ayers
Stop The ACLU — Yes, it actually is CNN. I'm just as amazed as you are. Please, wake up America! I'm surprised, and glad to see CNN cover this in a factual manner, but does anyone watch Anderson Cooper? Thanks to Dirty Harry for the video.

CNN (Sort of) Covers The Obama-Ayers Story (as opposed to covering "for" him)
Hyscience — AS Jim Treacher points out, it's hard to believe and it's fun to watch Anderson Cooper sputter and stammer at the reporter, though, trying to come up with a plausible reason this isn't so bad. I couldn't help but notice the Obama defender "continuously" closing her eyes every time she told a "whopper" of a lie (and she did so continuously because she told that many whoppers). ...

RedState: Conservative News and Community — CNN: relationship was "much deeper, ran much longer, and was much more political."

CNN: Obama Lies About Ayers Ties
A Blog For All — You read that headline right. CNN actually catches Sen. Barack Obama lying about his relationship with the terrorist Bill Ayers. It doesn't matter that Ayers carried out his terrorism 20 years ago, he's still a terrorist, and has never been held accountable for his actions. Obama knew, or had reason to know about Ayers radical leftist positions, and intent to bring about revolution, and yet chose to continue to have a relationship with Ayers. Labels: Bill Ayers ...

Team Obama Spinning Major Inconsistencies on Ayers Ties
Ankle Biting Pundits — The Obama campaign appears to have been caught flat-footed by the McCain campaign’s insistence in press releases and a recent ad that the Illinois senator answer for his close affiliation with unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers. At issue is exactly the nature of their relationship. Did Obama launch his political career in Ayers’s living room? Did Obama write a positive review of one of Ayers’s books? According to the Obama campaign, the answer to both of those questions is: No. This morning on Fox News Channel, Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs pled ignorance on the issue of Obama blurbing Ayers’s book. “Look, I … I … I ...

CNN “special investigation unit” discovers that Obama lied about his relationship with Ayers
protein wisdom — Ironically, CNN notes that critics of the McCain campaign’s late attempts to tie Obama to Ayers are suggesting that McCain is trying to shift the focus away from economic issues — which would come as a surprise to the McCain campaign, though not to the LA Times. From Patterico, we learn that the LA Times cut off its … [visit site to read more]

CNN Reports On Obama’s Lies
Flopping Aces — It’s a topsy-turvy world when CNN has a segment not only with Stanley Kurtz participating but where they actually do some good reporting on a…gasp….Democrat: They shoot down as a lie the Obama statement that he only “briefly” served on a board with Ayers, they talk about the fact that most of the grants that came from that board went to radical causes, and then Drew Griffin tells the anchor, Anderson Cooper, how he had spoken to two people who attended the political coming out party for Obama held in the livingroom of Ayers and they both said Obama lied about ...

CNN Actually Reports on Ayers-Obama Connection
Weekly Standard Blog — This is what an actual investigative report of the Obama-Ayers link looks like on TV: CNN's Drew Griffin reports that Obama and Ayers funded niche lefty causes and Jeremiah Wright's church. And a number of sources who attended Obama's coming out party hosted by Ayers in 1995 dispute the Obama camp's portrayal of that meeting: Obama campaign representative Anita Dunn: A Democratic state senator organizes a meeting of her supporters at the house of another one of her supporters. ...

Weather Underground Forerunners of Our Potential Next Administration
Moonbattery — Jonah Goldberg provides background on the Weather Underground, led by the unrepentant William Ayers, whose political protégé may soon be given America's nuclear codes: Bourgeois self-loathing lay at the very heart of the New Left's hatred of liberalism, its love affair with violence, and its willingness to take a sledgehammer to Western civilization. "We're against everything that's 'good and decent' in honky America," declared one rebel. "We will burn and loot and destroy. We are the incubation of your mother's worst nightmare." The Weathermen became the storm troopers of the New Left, horrifying even those who agreed with their ...

Baseball Crank — *As Glenn Reynolds would say, they told me that if George W.

It's so rare for late-night comedy to take on the Democrats' policies, rather than just gingerly needling their personalities. *Via Ace, we have Patterico on the track of an LA Times report that simultaneously refused to report McCain's criticisms of Obama on the economic crisis while accusing McCain of being afraid to talk about the economic crisis. I heard a radio report last night on WINS that did exactly the ...

Shocker: CNN Reports, Mostly Fairly, on the Obama/Terrorist Scumball Story
The Sundries Shack — If you’re a Democrat, and CNN runs a detailed report telling viewers how you lied, you know you’re in trouble. If you’re Barack Obama and this happens, it means you told a lie so immense that you’d need two Navigators from the Spacing Guild to fold space around it to hide it away. There is simply not enough spice in the galaxy to hide the whoppers that Barack Obama has been telling about his terrorist friend. CNN finally couldn’t cover him any longer and spilled the beans in a pretty long segment on Anderson Cooper’s show. The reporter was Drew Griffin, who I suspect has been disinvited this morning from ...

The McCain-Ayers Connection
The Moderate Voice — Two men. One of them engaged, by his own confession, in questionable behavior 20-some years ago. He once apologized for the appearance of impropriety, but now seems (to some) to be backtracking on that apology. The other man engaged in despicable, destructive behavior 40-some years ago. It has been rumored that he once expressed remorse for that behavior, although when he is asked directly, the remorse is garbled, with what most would agree is too much equivocation. In the end, neither man was punished for his past deeds. Neither went to jail. And both have since moved on, dedicating their contemporary lives to more ...

Obama’s Lies about his Radical Associations
GayPatriot — Whenever I ask Obama-supporting friends about their candidate’s absence of executive experience, they assure he’ll do fine because he’ll surround himself with good people. Yet, when we look at the people with whom he’s associated in the past, we began to wonder if this is so. It’s not just his associations with such radicals as William Ayers and Jeremiah Wright, but his repeated misrepresentations of those relationships. Even CNN caught him lying about relationship with the unrepentant terrorist: He even lied about the event where Ayers hosting the reception launching ...

Pundit Review — Just how in the tank is the AP for Obama? Analysis: Palin’s words may backfire on McCain By DOUGLASS K. DANIEL …In her character attack, Palin questions Obama’s association with William Ayers, a member of the Vietnam-era Weather Underground. Her reference was exaggerated at best if not outright false. No evidence shows they were “pals” or even close when they worked on community boards years ago and Ayers hosted a political event for Obama early in his career.” Unsubstiantiated? Hardly .

CNN Finally Ayers the real story
Mudville Gazette — CNN brings the story forward. It's not about Barack Obama being just an 8-year old student in Indonesia when Ayers was building nail bombs - it's about now: "Improving schools"? Why is Barack Obama so afraid to tout the "improvements" these guys teamed up to bring to Chicago schools? If it's less than flattering, he can point out he was only 30-40 something when Ayers was training kids to be good young communists with the money he funneled to him. CNN: Neocons! Neocons!! Neocons!!! (Or maybe just more Americans who are ...

CNN’s split personality
neo-neocon — On the one hand CNN actually manages to present a piece about Obama and Ayers that makes some hard-hitting points. On the other hand CNN continually pulls the most important punch. The significance of the Obama/Ayers connection (as I wrote some time ago, here) is that the two men worked together to promote a far Left agenda in our public schools. Bill Ayers’s terrorist activities in the 60s are only relevant insofar as he is still tied to the philosophy behind them. And Obama has lied about his role and his relationship with Ayers.

CNN reports on Obama's close ties to radical Ayres
BatesLine — This CNN investigative report shows that Barack Obama has had a long and close political relationship with unrepentant former domestic terrorist and ongoing radical William Ayres, much closer than the Obama campaign spin will acknowledge. Ayres was responsible for bringing the Annenberg Challenge grant for schools to Chicago; Obama was made chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which steered money to organizations run by Ayres and his wife Bernardine Dohrn. In 1995, Ayers organized and hosted Obama's first political fundraiser at his home. Contrary to Obama campaign claims, it was Ayers who organized the event, not State Sen. Alice Walker, Obama's predecessor. ...

Barack Obama, His Membership in the “New Party,” and His Connections to Socialists
Patterico's Pontifications — I have a number of people e-mailing me about news of Barack Obama’s membership in something called the “New Party.” Whenever a potentially big but potentially wacky issue comes along, I like to turn to Allahpundit for sober guidance. Allah links a June article by Erick Erickson, which quotes a USA Today article as saying that the party “self-described [as] ‘socialist democratic.’” But Allah says: “I can’t tell definitively from either just how far left the NP was at the time; it may be that, like a lot of new third parties, they hadn’t quite hammered out a fixed identity yet.” I can’t ...

McCain’s Ayers Ad
Patterico's Pontifications — Via Hot Air we see that the McCain camp has a new ad about Obama and Ayers: Barack Obama and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. Friends. They’ve worked together for years. But Obama tries to hide it. Why? Obama launched his political career in Ayers’ living room. Ayers and Obama ran a radical “education” foundation, together. They wrote the foundation’s by-laws, together. Obama was the foundation’s first chairman. Reports say they, “distributed more than $100 million to ideological allies with no discernible improvement in education.” When their ...

L.A. Times Leaves Out a Few Facts on Ayers
Patterico's Pontifications — There’s so much I could say about this L.A. Times article, with its vivid portrayal of McCain and his followers as angry nutcases, and its references to McCain’s audiences as “angry” and “surly.” I may do a more complete dissection tomorrow, but let me make one observation: But in an interview with Fox News, Palin cited Ayers as reason to question Obama’s “judgment.” Palin told Fox’s Sean Hannity, in a transcript provided by the network: “And — not only those terrorist activities that Bill Ayers was involved in, but the questions need to be asked, I ...

CNN reports ACORN voter fraud and ties to Obama
