GOP Ayers Out Obama Ties To Terrorist
Oct 6, 2008 Political
Barack Obama and his surrogates have downplayed his association with unrepentant terrorist William Ayers telling us that they spoke in passing or were neighbors and the impression is always that there was nothing to their relationship. The Drive by Media has been guilty of ignoring the connections and of trumpeting the lies from the Obama camp without one ounce of journalistic effort to get at the truth.
The GOP has unleashed a compilation of facts showing that Obama’s relationship with the domestic terrorist is much more than he, his surrogates, or the Drive by Media has reported. Yes, it is true that Obama was 7 or 8 when Ayers and his band of Communists attacked our country from within but Obama was in his 40s when Ayers said that he did not regret setting the bombs and felt that the group had not done enough. Obama has stated that he denounced the acts of Ayers but Obama has not distanced himself from the man who hosted the coming out party for the chosen successor to State Senator Alice Palmer. Obama was the chosen one and Ayers hosted his coming out party. Obama did not loathe Ayers’ acts enough to decline the invitation.
The GOP post indicates that the neighbors are all part of a social circle and that Michelle and Barack Obama are part of that social group which includes Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn. Ayers posed for a magazine article entitled No Regrets and the photo for the article has him standing on an American Flag. That was in 2001, one month before the Islamic terrorist attacks on this country. Obama has continued his association with Ayers since that time and he has voiced no opposition to Ayers’ treatment of the Flag. The GOP site contains quite a few details.
Sarah Palin has been untethered since the VP debate and has gone on the full attack. She made the connection of Obama to Ayers and said that Obama does not see America like the rest of us do. Basically, Palin pointed out that Obama has a terrorist as a friend and he has never ended that friendship. Palin is spot on and she needs to keep up these attacks and start adding all the other shady characters from Obama’s past.
A Democratic strategist tried to minimize Palin by saying:
“It’s a giant changing of the subject,” said Jenny Backus, a Democratic strategist. “The problem is the messenger. If you want to start throwing fire bombs, you don’t send out the fluffy bunny to do it. I think people don’t take Sarah Palin seriously.”
My friend Don Surber had to agree with Backus and brilliantly points out:
Yes, if you want fire-bombing done right, Obama is the expert on who to call.
Truer words were never spoken.
Once Again, Phony Cries Of Racism
Oct 5, 2008 Political
It never fails when it comes to the left. They see racism in everything, except of course in the words of their own adherents who spout racially motivated attacks all the time. This time the focus is on Sarah Palin and her attacks on Obama’s ties to a domestic terrorist. There is no denying that Barack Obama had more than a passing relationship with William Ayers. Therefore, he has associated himself with a domestic terrorist and one who fails to repent for his behavior. In fact, Ayers said that he did not do enough.
Palin attacked Obama for his association with Ayers and the Liberal media has been running cover for The One. The major publications are saying that the association has been debunked (it has not) and that Obama was a child when Ayers targeted our country (he was) and they also report that Obama has denounced what Ayers did in the past.
The Obama Ayers relationship is very real. Ayers held a major fund raiser at his house for Obama and they served together on the board of a few charities. Ayers and Obama have a close relationship and that should make people stop and think.
It is true that Obama was a child when Ayers and his terrorist group bombed federal buildings and killed police officers. But that does not mean Obama should not be held accountable for his judgment. How do you suppose it would play out if Hitler had lived and George Bush befriended him and said “hey I don’t agree with what the guy did but I wasn’t even born when he did it.” Obama can claim that he denounces the acts of Ayers but by befriending him, Obama gives him and the cause he feels did not go far enough, legitimacy. This is the kind of legitimacy that Obama would give Ahmadinejad by meeting with him without preconditions. Perhaps Obama’s failure to make the connection with regard to Ayers is why he is so willing to meet with other terrorists.
It does not matter that Obama has denounced what Ayers did. If you had a neighbor who was friends with bin Laden and rationalized it by saying “Well, I denounced what he did” would you consider that neighbor a patriot or a traitor?
The AP reported on Palin’s comments and they concluded that she had some racist sprinklings in them.
Palin’s words avoid repulsing voters with overt racism. But is there another subtext for creating the false image of a black presidential nominee “palling around” with terrorists while assuring a predominantly white audience that he doesn’t see their America?
In a post-Sept. 11 America, terrorists are envisioned as dark-skinned radical Muslims, not the homegrown anarchists of Ayers’ day 40 years ago. With Obama a relative unknown when he began his campaign, the Internet hummed with false e-mails about ties to radical Islam of a foreign-born candidate.
Whether intended or not by the McCain campaign, portraying Obama as “not like us” is another potential appeal to racism. It suggests that the Hawaiian-born Christian is, at heart, un-American. Breitbart
Let me point out that Obama was the one who said he did not look like the other presidents. The AP is playing a word game by inferring that Palin said things she did not. The AP is helping Obama by planting these seeds. I will also say that she associated him with William Ayers who is white and bringing up the dark skinned Muslim angle is reaching well beyond the line of reality. The AP in this analysis is trying to misdirect the attention of the people. They are saying; “ignore the terrorist connections of Obama, it is a racist remark.”
Barack Obama has questionable relationships with radical and corrupt people including Ayers, Tony Rezko, and Pastor Wright. These associations have not been investigated by the media and have been largely ignored. Any attempt to bring them to light is viewed as racist which gives us a good idea as to how Obama will govern the country. “Congress failed to pass my budget because they are racists.” “How dare you criticize my foreign policies, you racists.”
Obama is a radical as is his wife who has been muzzled so as to keep her from expressing her true hate filled feelings about our country. She and her husband will do anything to get ahead in politics. Obama knew Ayers would be helpful so he allowed him to help. This is the same motivation that allowed him to join and attend a radical church for 20 years. He needed the backing in order to achieve. It does not hurt that Obama and his radical wife hold the same values as the church. Even Oprah, who is a racist, left the church.
The AP is way out of line. Obama’s associations are fair game and if the other side does not like it then too bad. Perhaps if the AP spent time actually looking at Obama’s shady past they would not have time to dream up the bogey man of racism.
Palin needs to keep hammering him on this. Attack, attack, attack. If the media will not do its job then others will have to. Regardless of what anyone thinks about this, it is a fact that Obama has a close relationship with a domestic terrorist. This should matter, and to me it does.

Obama Ayers Dirty Laundry
Sep 15, 2008 Political
Barack Obama has been asked about his ties to Bill Ayers a few times and he has given evasive answers. He has changed his story and he has lied about Ayers. Obama always minimizes the relationship. Obama never got a half way decent questioning about his ties to this domestic terrorist until Bill O’Reilly interviewed Obama on the Factor. Obama would never have done that interview if he were not tanking in the polls.
Anyway, Obama has made several claims regarding his affiliation with Bill Ayers. This video is from when he was running for the US Senate. He cites the job at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge as experience for the job of US Senator. Barack Obama, in this video, tells us that the job Bill Ayers (a man he hardly knows) gave him qualifies him to be a Senator. I know Obama would like people to believe that he has minimal ties to this cretin but since Ayers has been more than a passing acquaintance, Obama is lying.
Maybe these items from WND are just a bunch of cruel lies made up by John McCain to hurt Obama’s image. Or maybe he associates with terrorists.
Obama’s characterization of his relationship with Ayers as “somebody who worked on education issues in Chicago that I know” barely scratches the surface of his dealings with the Ayers.
In 1995, the first organizing meeting for Obama’s state senatorial campaign was reportedly held in Ayers’s apartment.
Ayers was one of the original grantees of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, or CAC, a school reform organization in the 1990s, and was co-chairman of the Chicago School Reform Collaborative, one the two operational arms of the CAC. In 1995, Obama became chairman of the CAC under Ayers’ leadership.
In a widely circulated article, WND first reported Obama served on the board of the Wood’s Fund, a liberal Chicago nonprofit, alongside Ayers from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002, according to the Fund’s website. According to tax filings, Obama received compensation of $6,000 per year for his service in 1999 and 2000.
A $200 campaign contribution from Ayers is listed April 2, 2001, by the “Friends of Barack Obama” campaign fund.
The two appeared together as speakers at several public events, including a 1997 University of Chicago panel entitled, “Should a child ever be called a ‘super predator?'” and another panel for the University of Illinois in April 2002 entitled, “Intellectuals: Who Needs Them?” WND
Yep, that Barack Obama keeps some rather strange company. And while the MSM and Obama camp send an army of people to Alaska to dig up dirt on Sarah Palin, Obama is not questioned about his ties to terrorists (except for O’Reilly). What are the odds that the MSM will sit Obama down and ask him the really hard questions. Despite what some liberals think, Obama has been asked very few tough questions and there is never follow up regardless of his answer. They are in the tank for him and the way ABC edited the Palin interview should leave no doubt that they were working for the Obama campaign. It is indisputable.
Fortunately, Obama is suffering a meltdown and is beginning to lose real estate in the battleground states. It is too early for predictions but, at least for now, things are looking good for McCain.
I am reminded of what Jay from STACLU asked; What do Osama bin Laden and Barack Obama have in common? They both have friends who bombed the Pentagon…

Obama learns what a counter punch is
Aug 21, 2008 Political
Barack Hussein Obama woke up this morning and found himself five points behind John Sidney McCain. This after he suffered a serious blow at the Saddleback forum that saw all but the most seriously mentally ill calling it a big win for McCain. Obama attacked McCain after that forum and he came out swinging at the beginning of this week. I wrote earlier about Obama going on the attack, something I knew he would do as soon as he started to fade.
Obama put out an attack video which ties McCain to disgraced lobbyist (they call him a Republican lobbyist but he gave nearly as much money to Democrats) Jack Abramoff. The ad implies that John McCain made sure that one of the people involved, Ralph Reed, did not have problems and now that person is raising money for McCain. It appears that Reed did not receive special treatment and that the fund raising is, according to him, as a private citizen.
The Obama ad ignores the fact that Barack Obama received money from Abramoff and his associates. The Obama ad also ignores the fact that McCain was responsible for the investigation of the corruption and Abramoff’s demise. McCain exposed the issue but the ad does not let the viewer in on that little secret.
The ad tries to make McCain guilty by association, something Obama chided Hillary for in the primaries. Guilt by association was an issue that was hard for Republicans to bring up (even though Obama has a lot of associates that are shady) because they did not stick in the primaries and the first thing out of their mouths would be racism. Desperate times call for desperate measures and in today’s political climate Obama should be 15 points ahead instead of 5 behind. He has been shown as a weakling and he has decided to start getting mean. It appears though, that Obama made a tactical error. By trying to make McCain guilty by association he opened the door for John McCain to do the very same and there is not a thing the Obama-bots can do about it. Their guy opened the door and invited McCain in.
And in he walked. Big John carrying a big stick and he used it quite effectively:
“Barack Obama’s ad is ridiculous. Because of John McCain, corruption was exposed and people like Jack Abramoff went to jail.
“However, if Barack Obama wants to have a discussion about truly questionable associations, let’s start with his relationship with the unrepentant terrorist William Ayers, at whose home Obama’s political career was reportedly launched. Mr. Ayers was a leader of the Weather Underground, a terrorist group responsible for countless bombings against targets including the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon and numerous police stations, courthouses and banks. In recent years, Mr. Ayers has stated, ‘I don’t regret setting bombs … I feel we didn’t do enough.’
“The question now is, will Barack Obama immediately call on the University of Illinois to release all of the records they are currently withholding to shed further light on Senator Obama’s relationship with this unrepentant terrorist?” —McCain spokesman Brian Rogers via STACLU
Game, set, match. The kid took a swing at John McCain while trying to act tough and the counter punch hit him square in his glass jaw. Now the McCain camp can air ads with pictures of all the things that Ayers blew up and sound bites of him saying they did not do enough. They can top that off with pictures of Barry and Ayers together. There is not a thing that Barry or any of his minions can do about this. You see, Barry could shrug it off in the primaries by claiming that he was a kid when Ayers bombed but Barry was an adult when he became an associate of Ayers. Ayers made his statements in the recent past so Obama is associated with a known terrorist. Obama had to know about Ayers’ past and his current feelings and yet he continued to associate with him. Obama, for such a smart man, led with his chin on this one.
It was good to see the McCain camp shoot back quickly and forcefully. This was not only a shot to the chin, it was also a shot across the bow. The McCain camp sent a warning that basically said; “If you want to play this game you go right ahead but we are good at it and we are not afraid to hit you very hard when we punch back. I bet this will give Obama a bit of a pause.
Might be too late. Now McCain is free to exploit the past associations of Obama and to use them without worry.
Barry played Carlton the doorman on this one.
