McCain hammers away at Ayers connection

Obama is a liar, a communist and this country will be severly damaged if he is elected. This country will change within two years and will never be the same. If he wants to live in a communist country he should move and try to sell another country on his pitiful views and ideas. I have never seen so much hate for people has Obama has shown.

Ah, glad to see McCain is fulfilling his promise to run an "honorable" campaign. What a scumbag. I can't believe I used to respect the guy. Now he's willing to sink lower than even Dubya could out of desperation. Is it worth selling your soul for the presidency? This is ridiculous.

An overloooked story regarding Obama's connection with Ayers is that they wasted 160 million on failed attempts to improve (aka:radicalize) the Chicago Public Schools. They did great work with education, as the graduation rate is about 54%. Bill Ayers is not only a domestic terrorist that targeted the same facilities as al qaeda, he's a fraud as a reformer..or as an agent of change. Will Obama do to our government what he and Ayers did to the Chicago Schools? Likely...

The bigger story of Obama and corruption is his relationship with ACORN. ACORN offices in Nevada and North Carolina have recently been raided by the Feds. Seems that the Dallas Cowboys offensive line, Tony Romo and Torrell Owens were registered in Vegas. Problem is, of course, they don't live there.
Offices in Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Florida are all under investigation for voter fraud. The offices in Wisconsin and Colorado are under indictment. Hmmmm, all swing states?

Obama's campaign has given $800,000 to ACORN registration drives under questionable accounting practices. Obama, in fact, developed ACORN's pratices while directing Carol Moseley-Braun's registration campaign for them in 1992. Also, the national headquarters for ACORN is under indictment for a 1 million dollar embezzlement scheme. Oh, and Michelle Obama's law firm is representing ACORN in many of these cases. Sorry to burst your bubble but Barrack's is about to as well.

Barack Obama was an active participant in the 1990s, and a direct political beneficiary, of the Chicago New Party and, importantly, the Chicago DSA, a group of socialists affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America.
1. Barack Obama attended and participated in meetings of the Chicago New Party and the Chicago DSA, the local affiliate of the Democratic Socialists of America.
2. Barack Obama sought the endorsement of the Chicago DSA which required rigorous scrutiny by the party’s Political Committee as well as Mr. Obama’s signature on a contract promising “a visible and active relationship with the NP.”
3. Barack Obama actively used the endorsement from the Chicago DSA.
4. Barack Obama won his DSA-endorsed and -backed campaign to secure his seat in the Illinois State Senate.
5. Barack Obama continued his involvement with the Chicago DSA — including directly asking the group to join “his task forces on Voter Education and Voter Registration” — and received their endorsements in subsequent campaigns.

FAUX News: "Senator McCain, what is your plan to help stimulate the economy and get people back to work?"

McCain: "Senator Obama is a terrorist!"

FAUX News: "Senator McCain, how are you going to provide affordable healthcare for the 45 million uninsured Americans?"

McCain: "Senator Obama is a terrorist!"

FAUX News: "Senator McCain, how are your going to address the genocide in Darfur?"

McCain: "Senator Obama's middle name reminds me of Arabs."

FAUX News: "Senator McCain, do you have anything else to say to the American people?"

McCain: "Yes, my friends, Senator Obama is a terrorist."

This is what we're going to be subject to for the next few weeks. I, for one, can't stomach watching the dog and pony show that is now the Palin/McCain ticket.

if ayers can get a job at the univ obama can become the president of the usa

This doesn't overshadow the facts that John McCain supports fascist policies, is a supporter of the Saudis-which, I believe is the group that caused the 9-11 catastrophe, and that his heroism has been a creation in his own mind--the truth of his military blunders is slowly materializing, making his soul-mate George Bush look like a college prankster by comparison. North Viet Nam took their revenge on the US by sending Hanoi Johnny back to us. And for 30 years he's done nothing but help facilitate the crises we are now facing. He's a bigger crook than Nixon ever could have dreamed of being, a looser cannon than his lord and master, Reagan, and far more dangerous than George Bush.

McCain this was disproved long ago, can't you figure out anything fresh (and honest)?

John McCain has no honor.

This is despicable.

John McCain is just a desparate old man with zero honor. How come he didn't mention this 'connection' during the debate on Tuesday? Because he is a COWARD. John McCain is a COWARD. These scare tactics might work to bring out a few thousand hate votes, but everyone else knows the truth and will vote for Barack.

Sorry John - your time is over.
You have no honor left.
You are desparate.
You are a COWARD.

Bill Ayers isn't in prison. He hasn't been endicted or convicted. He is a free and clear rich guy living in Chicago. Why doesn't he help out and file a Slander suit against Sarah Palin? If you're not something, and someone says you are without some sort of conviction as proof; then that is slander. It is an offense punishable by law. If you commit slander against someone by calling them a terrorist when they're not, then you should be accountable for it in court. I say, either force the McCainannites to prove it, or make the campaign pay for committing slander!

Really? Obama is palling around with terrorists?

Well, by that rationale,...

McCain is palling around with KKK members
(McCain has served on the same DC committes as Byrd, who used to be a member of the KKK)

and

McCain is palling around with felons who swindle Americans out of billions in retirement savings
(McCain took money from Keating and used his power in DC to ask regulators to go easy on Keating and McCain took family vacations with Keating, plus McCain's campaign is still getting donations from a Keating organization this year)

and

Palin is palling around with America-hating secessionists
(Palin is married to an AIP member and she has attended and addressed AIP

Hey McCain! Didn't you hear the one about people in glass houses??

meetings)

Wake up people and smell the coffee Obama is for himself and only for himself. He'll tell you what you want to hear and it's believed no matter what anyone may say or whatever facts may prove. If he gets elected by stupidity then I guess we deserve whats coming boy are we in trouble..... welcome to the USSA.

lets not forget we once called Yassar Arafat & Momar Gaddafy terrorists

Judge not lest ye be judged! It never ceases to amaze me what people will say when they are not accountable. Is this the discussion you are having with your children or your parents as well? Shame on you for not having the diginty to make your points in honest yet respectful manner. I will say I am no fan McCain/Palin ticket and could go on ad infinitum as to what I feel their lack of competencies are however I am not going to stoop to this "lowest common denominator" mentality which seems to have permiated this country. No wonder this country is in trouble.

Recently McCain is pulling out John Murtagh, whose family was a victim of one of Ayers' hateful attacks. McCain is having Murtagh speak about the suffering that Ayers' activity caused him.

The only problem is that John Murtagh has his own ties to radical protesters. Murtgah served as lawyer for a Catholic priest who led protests at an abortion clinic that turned violent.

So Murtagh was sadly an innocent victim of radical violence. Yet even Murtagh himself has close associations with radicals who cause violence.

No one's hands are clean here. Not even McCain & Palin's, whose hands are sullied with terrorist connections (Annenberg), KKK (Byrd), Ameria-hating secessionists (AIP) and felons who swindled Americans out of their retirement money and did 5 yrs in prison for it (Keating).

No one's hands are clean here. Not even Murtagh, who was a victim of Ayers violence.

This guilt by association rhetoric is not only despicable, but dangerous to our society. It is the ploy used by Third World Dictators, and Hitler to remove their competition. Is this conduct worthy of someone who would be leader of the free world? I think not.

CONTINUATION
So, if we'd condemn the innocent and civil association of Obama with Ayers, what are we going to say to the thousands of students who'd been taught by him today? If some of them decide to run for the president of the United State office, are we going to accuse them of being taught by Ayers or associating with him? What about those who come in contact with him on a regular basis, they too should be condemned? Come on John McCain!!! This is an insult to us, American people. Shame on you and your party. Let me teach you and your campaign a very good moral value if you really claim to be a true christian.

If Ayers did what they claim he did in the past , he was wrong and nobody condones it neither Obama. The fact of the matter is Ayers is a positive force in our society today. We should all uphold him for that. None of us is perfect. We're all guilty of something in our past and may be again in the future, including John McCain and those in his campaign. To indirectly bash somebody of their past sin, especially ,if they've repented of it that makes us guilty of sin before God. What woud you want to see, a criminal continues to do criminal acts or a past criminal turns his life around. Doesn't our moral consciousness uphold that? Isn't God aslo God of the unrighteous? Doesn't God want the unrighteous to become righteous? If Ayers was unrighteous yesterday and becomes righteous today, who
a

Ayers, a domestic terrorist, as of 2001 was unrepentant. He admits his guilt freely and his case was thrown out due to illegal wiretapping. If launching your political career at the home of this domestic terrorist's house then Obama is guilty.
Imagine if McCain had ties to someone who had bombed an abortion clinic in the 60's.
Reporters just are not doing there jobs, their too busy getting out the vote for Obama.
Journalism is dead.

Please stop all this silliness with the Ayres stuff. I'm tired of reading posts by people who continue the lies and smears. It is so tiresome. I stopped watching TV and radio and now I read and sometimes leave posts. I want to read about substantive things like "How to get out of this economic mess?", "What is going to stop my IRA from melting to nothing?", "How can I afford healthcare?" , "How can I send my daughter to college?". All I've learned is how Mr. McCain is not qualified to lead this country. All of this gutter talk and inciting mob behavior, hate and rage is the talk language of nationalists and it scares the living xxx@$% out of me. This is McCarthyism and it frightened that my fellow citizens talk like this. This is the language of ignorance and thugs. McCain talks of Chicago but he has shown that he has Chicago politics in his bones.

Imagine if Obama was connected with someone who was a member of a separatist group that often used violent references and had a known link to an Islamic state that sponsored terrorism.

Switch "Obama" to "Palin" and you'll have the story right!

You betcha...it's sort of like Palin palling around with that Todd first dude guy, a known former seven-year member the Alaskan Independence Party, which wants to rip a star off our American flag so they can drill, baby, drill and sell us oil at enormous cost. Her association with Todd is similar to her rabid accusations about Obama - guilt by association.

Here's what the founder of the Alaskan Independence Party, Joe Vogler, who was always armed, said when preaching insurrection against the United States of America, "When the [federal] bureaucrats come after me, I suggest they wear red coats. They make better targets. In the federal government are the biggest liars in the United States, and I hate them with a passion." Guess that’s just quaint forgivable secessionist talk not domestic terrorism chatter because the implied association is with Palin not Obama.

But wait, there's more: an Alaskan Independence Party link to state sponsored terrorism! Vogler's greatest moment of glory was to be his 1993 appearance before the United Nations to denounce United States "tyranny" before the entire world and to demand Alaska's freedom. The Alaska secessionist had persuaded the government of Iran to sponsor his anti-American harangue. That's right ... Iran, the Islamic dictatorship of the American hostages crisis and the rogue nation that McCain and Palin have slammed Obama for suggesting we diplomatically engage. Vogler was murdered by a fellow party member before he got to speak.

The Republican ticket is working hard to make Barack Obama's extremely tenuous connection to graying, 1960s revolutionary a major campaign issue. But the Palins' very recent connection to anti-American extremism is much more central to their political biographies and they were not eight years old at the time. Sarah even addressed the Alaskan Independence Party in 2006 in a bid to get their support for governor in person and gave a video "shout out" to their 2008 convention after she was elected! A 1968 radical or a 2008 radical...take your pick for a clear and present danger.

Let’s be straightforward. The Palin-Todd-AIP-Volger-Iran link is strange but pretty irrelevant to voting about the future. So are the slanders Palin and McCain's bleeding heart conservative bloggers, nameless email chicken-hawks, and right-wing radio talking heads are hurling at Obama. For every Rezko, there's a Keating. For every brainwashed in Pakistan fantasy there's a Vietnam “Manchurian Candidate” theory. For every Muslim slur, there's a Christian fundamentalist one. Please vote for Obama or McCain based on the vital issues facing us today. We do not need to accept or stand for any of this swiftboating garbage that just talks down to us.

It's the pill American find it very hard to swallow Obamas relationship with a ddomestic terorist in Bill Ayers.Why are these democrats first name start with the letter "B"? Bill Ayers,Bill Gates,Bill Clinton,Barney Frank,Bill Marr,Barrack Obama,Barbara Boxer and the lists goes on.

The Money that funded Ayer's project came from a grant made by conservative Reagan appointee and close friend of the Gipper: Walter Annenberg. Ayers and his grant submission was thoroughly vetted by the conservative foundation and awarded 50 million

Ya know, for all the talk and bs being spewed around this campaign, one fact goes unnoticed, yet is unassailable:

Of every single human being on this planet (6,000,000,000 at last count), only TWO have ever bombed the Pentagon- Osama bin Laden and William Ayers.

Isn't it a rather odd "coincidence" that one of these two would "happen" to be closely associated with one of our presidential candidates? Come on, people!-How willfully blind are you going to be?!

Here's what the above stupid article says: "The ad, of course, does not include Obama's explanantion that by the time he met Ayers, he was a respected education reformer in Chicago, and that he hasn't communicated with him since enetering the US Senate in January 2005." I'll ignore the dangling participle. (Who was the "respected education reformer? Obama?) What the writer of this article doesn't include, of course, is the fact that when Obama finally ended his decade-long relationship with Ayers, it was FOUR YEARS AFTER Ayers told the New York freaking Times that he regretted not setting more bombs. Did Obama, the genius, miss the New York Times article about his unrepentant terrorist friend? No man who maintains a telephone and email relationship with a convicted domestic terrorist for four years after the New York Times reports that the terrorist regrets not bombing America enough can be trusted with the office of president. And let's not forget that Ayers' girlfriend was killed while building a nail bomb intended to kill American soldiers and their dates attending a dance at Fort Dix. I guess Obama--Mr. internet-savvy aspiring politician--didn't hear about that one, either.

Correction to my previous post. I called Ayers a "convicted domestic terrorist". I should have said that he escaped justice because of a technicality. You don't have to be convicted to be a terrorist.

I'm really saddened that a once honorable man, Senator McCain, has fallen into such dishonorable tactics. He is appealing to what is the worst in us. . . and in so doing has fomented some of the ugliest anti-Obama comments I've ever read. McCain himself wouldn't stoop as low as some of the commentators, who -- I suspect -- are not so much McCain supporters as KKK members, skin-heads and others filled with darkness. But McCain is to blame for lighting the match that has started such a firestorm of hatred.

Why is this Ayers thing getting more coverage in the corporate media than McCain's involvement in the "Keating Five" Scandal? The Ayers tempest in a teapot is based entirely on guilt by association. On the other hand, the John McCain himself betrayed the trust of savings and loan depositors and the taxpayers in a scandal that cost the treasury hundreds of billions of dollars.

HELLO FOLKS WE LIVE IN 2008 and the economy is down, we are in an energy crisis... we have then we may face to lose our jobs don't know how to pay bills....and these candidates are talking about this total BS. If you give a dam about the stuff that happens 30-40 years ago then I am sorry for you! I guess you need to be put into more misery that you will not worry about such crap. I think we should all stop the negative attacks and talk real issues!

I think Obama does not have a lot of experience. He's spent a great deal of what little time he's been in senate campaigning. Early in the campaign, he relied heavily on vague rhetoric. I can see having objections to him based on lack of experience and clear voting record -- or the voting record he has being too liberal.

But some of the comments are just ridiculous. People act like the sky is going to fall if he's standing up there on inauguration day. There's no grand scheme to usher in radical movements. No wolf in sheep's clothing. I feel bad some of you live in that state of fear and ignorance, though.

Yeah - you don't have to be convicted to be guilty! Um ... er... wait...

WEll, don't blame McCain's team for this. If Obama came out clean and real in the first place, these things won't happen. I know that Obama's team also know the risk they are taking, that's why the launched "fight the smears" webiste. Go in to our election history, there never was this kind of web, which means all presidential candidate came out as who they were and what they were. None of the presidents needed to show their birth certificates to public....none to them had to say anything about their faith.

Let's face it, the republican party has no ideas. If they did we wouldn't be deep into this mess. The only ideas they seem to have are 1) let the rich get richer, hope it trickles down, if not, oh well, 2) protect their rich buddies - you lost your life savings? oh well, get over it, 3) stoking fear and distrust in the low information voter - this is our base, lord help us if they ever start thinking.

You can tell when a republican is being less than truthful when they spew their talking points and smile as they are doing it. Ever notice how republicans keep on talking even when they've been caught in a lie? It's an amazing sight. What's really amazing is they think their actions are morally responsible. They whine all the time about Democrats taxing and spending or being liberals, or socialist. The biggest spending, downward spiraling of our economy, hugh debt to the Chinese government , and our world status plunge happened under republican rule. What does that tell you?

This attack on Obama especially by Palin and Cindy McCain while John McCain smiles in the background is dangerous. With their false remarks they incite the crowds to yell "kill him". John McCain is a very dangerous man who sinks lower every day. Is there no way to stop lies?? The Press has to take the responsibility to make the people understand or we are all doomed.

These two candidates are good men but their past history is the nail in the coffin.Their life stories are the differrences and tip the balance of the election.

McCain and Palin are morons! Palin is an insult to every intelligent woman in this country, and McCain has no integrity or honor. It's any means to the end . . . just like Dubya. We need an intelligent team in the White House. McCain is a desperate man losing the race and saying anything he can dream up to derail the opposition. God help us all if he and that woman should win. And what if he keels over and that idiot, trashy woman becomes our leader. Oh, God help us!

Obama is a COWARD....he wants to pull our troops out of Iraq....or is it because his "Pals" hate our presence in the mid-east....they're tired of living in caves....they want to live in The White House....obama Hussein baracka ossama...
I'm curious though....how many camels will fit on The White House lawn.... if the Dems and liberal press have there way....we will find out very soon.

McCain and Palin are playing with fire here and are dangerously close to igniting destructive forces that nobody will be able to control with their talk instilling hate/fear. McCain says he "puts country first", but clearly the path he and fellow Republicans are currently on risks sowing the seeds of future disaster should Obama be elected.

The fact that they are willing to take this chance with our country to save their sinking campaign is dispicable AND immoral.

Bush's strategy for keeping the sheeple in line was FEAR and his "war" on foreign terrorists. McCain is following what worked so well for Bush and going him one better: Obama is (present tense) "palling around" with domestic terrorists (plural). Evidence? Who needs evidence when all you have to do, as Rove made clear, is to repeat it over and over and it sinks in with a lot of people who rely on others to think for them. That's been the Republican formula for electoral success for at least 20 years, and you see how the country has been diminished as a result. Of course, McCain is too cowardly to have brought up the bogus Ayres affair in their debate on Tuesday, and instead got his two women to do the dirty deed for him. There's a name for people who use women this way. The good news is that when he and Palin go back to their old jobs on November 5, their constituents will have become so fed up with them that their political careers will be over.

Oh, McCain supporters, just shut up and enjoy the next 8 years of an intelligent, compassionate, thoughtful and effective president.........you know, the exact opposite of the last 8!

Obama 08

Yes he might of hung around with terrorists put now he wants to lead us....
right to hell. He lies, and is a socialist and moving more towards communism.
Did not serve my country so some one can give it away to Russia and China.
Obama is a very very bad person, leading us to hell.
At least McCain is an AMERICAN and Sarah is an American.
If someone does not know what socialism really is you need to look up the meaning.

The Republicans are playing a dangerous game here, as evidenced by passionate cries from their audiences of "kill him" and "he's a terrorist.".
I wouldn't be surprised if some right-wing psychopath (which is not to say there aren't left-wing psychopaths) decided to exercise his 2nd Amendment rights, get a gun and assassinate Obama. If, God forbid, that happened I would place the responsibility squarely in the hands of Senator McCain and Gov. Palin.

I am sorry but I think the people one associates with are an indication of the person you are the values hold, and as a Democrat before the primary as Obama was a new person on the scene I did extensive research on him. I googled him and found out about the Saul Alinsky, Acorn, Rezco, Ayers, Rev. Wright stuff on my own. (I might add I found about Hillarys infatuation with the Socialist Alinsky also and was not pleased), however if you can sit in a racist church for 20 years, be affiliated with a terrorrist like Ayers who's agenda and values are so far removed from my belief in what one should hold ideal, family, education, self reliance. I find it offensive that you would sit on a board in which you help him (Ayers) disperse 60 million dollars for his so called education plan which did not focus on things I find important, Reading, Math, Science but instead want to radicalize students against there parents school, etc. I do not think Obama's friendship with Rezco is inconsequential when he represented the people living in Rezcos Slums and did nothing to make him address the conditions the people he represented were living in when he could have influenced him.So by doing my own research I have come to the conclusion that while Obama can make a pretty speach, change his mind and discard people in his past when it is politically expedient he shows me that his lack of resolution and socialist leanings do not inspire me to vote for him and I choose the lesser of two evils, McCain may not be the ideal candidate but I do believe he has a strong desire to serve his country. Again I truly believe Obama is a Trojan Horse and that my Party has let me down promoting a candidate whose past associations I find personally repugnant, and whose lack of experience I find frightening. Obama may have gone to the best colleges and can be touted as very bright but for a person described this way he has made in my opinion some Very poor choices.I do not like what I have found out about his past, I feel he has not been vetted by the Media who instead chose to tear Clinton down while annointing this neophyte.

I'm with Pam (34.) McCain's dead shark grin is so tedious to look at, he always puts it on when he can't see his way out of a debate without looking like a very old herring. All he does is dig around in mud trying to hold on to some slimy stuff and sling it at Obama but hey, that seaweed has a way of winding round your legs, mate, and in the end sharks get eaten, too!

Meg (1.), I have seen nothing but great care for people coming from Obama and his family. The only hate I see around is that which is displayed by people like you who ride on dead horses till they fall over. Define communism.... There is true communism and then there is the sort that ordinary people call greedy gluttony displayed by a wealthy minority. The world has too many people now for that sort of lifestyle so get with it. Everyone has a right to good health and a decent living. This country belongs to all who are allowed to live in it and you'll just have to learn to share your cupcakes. Doesn't mean you won't get a bite. (Communism, I have to add, is when you don't even get to see a cupcake! Try reading Solshenitsyn.)

Just think Obama voters....you will be pulling the same lever/ punching the same ballot card hole/ touching the same name on the computer screen ballot as your fellow backers of this candidate:

The Marxist New Party

Democratic Socialists of America (Chicago chapter) - early on in Obama's political career as well.

FARC (Terrorist party in Columbia) - they have endorsed Obama because he does not support the Free Trade Agreement with Columbia.

Louis Farrakhan - avowed hater of Israel.

Fidel Castro - calling him “the most progressive candidate to the U.S. presidency”.

Hamas - Ahmed Yousuf, Hamas’ top political adviser in the Gaza Strip, delivered his endorsement in an interview with WorldNetDaily and WABC Radio in New York. “We like Mr. Obama, and we hope that he will win the elections,” Yousuf said. Hillary Clinton and John McCain have all referred to Hamas as a “terrorist organization,” according to WorldNetDaily.

Hezbollah - Last year Sen. Obama voted against labeling Iran’s elite paramilitary unit, the Revolutionary Guards Corps, a “terrorist organization.” Sen. Obama did not want to designate the Revolutionary Guards – who created Hezbollah, and directly train and arm Hezbollah and Hamas to this day – a terrorist group. The Revolutionary Guards, along with their surrogates, have been involved in some of the most egregious and destructive terrorist activities all across the world since 1979. And since 2003, they’ve killed U.S. forces in Iraq. Sen. Obama voted against calling them “terrorists” – and just several weeks ago, said Hezbollah and Hamas had “legitimate claims.”

Daniel Ortega (Marxist President of Nicaraqua) - "It's not to say that there is already a revolution under way in the U.S. … but yes, they are laying the foundations for a revolutionary change."

Arab American Action Network (AAAN) - The co-founder of the Arab group in question, Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, also has held a fundraiser for Obama. Khalidi is a harsh critic of Israel, has made statements supportive of Palestinian terror and reportedly has worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization while it was involved in anti-Western terrorism and was labeled by the State Department as a terror group.

Obama was a director of the Woods Fund board from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002, according to the Fund's website. In 2001, the Woods Fund, a Chicago-based nonprofit that describes itself as a group helping the disadvantaged, provided a $40,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network, or AAAN, for which Khalidi's wife, Mona, serves as president. The Fund provided a second grant to the AAAN for $35,000 in 2002.

Obama’s comfort level with terrorists extends beyond Bill Ayers. The board of a nonprofit organization on which Sen. Barack Obama served as a paid director alongside Bill Ayers granted funding to a controversial Arab group that mourns the establishment of Israel as a "catastrophe".

That group is the Arab American Action Network or AAAN. The co-founder of AAAN, Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, also has held a fundraiser for Obama. Khalidi is a harsh critic of Israel, has made statements supportive of Palestinian terror and reportedly has worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization while it was involved in anti-Western terrorism and was labeled by the State Department as a terror group. Khalidi is the former Director of the PLO press agency and onetime moderator of the PLO Advisory Committee. AAAN’s Executive Director is Hatem Abudayyeh, who has condemned "the Israeli government and its military killing machine.”

In 2001, the Woods Fund, a Chicago-based nonprofit that describes itself as a group helping the disadvantaged, provided a $40,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network, or AAAN, for which Khalidi's wife, Mona, serves as president. The Fund provided a second grant to the AAAN for $35,000 in 2002. Obama was a director of the Woods Fund board from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002, according to the Fund's website.

Obama first befriended Khalidi when the two worked together at University of Chicago. Khalidi lectured at the University of Chicago until 2003 while Obama taught law there from 1993 until his election to the Senate in 2004.

Khalidi in 2000 held what was described as a successful fundraiser for Obama's failed bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, a fact not denied by Khalidi.

The revelations about Obama's relationship with Khalidi follows a recent WorldNetDaily article quoting Israeli security officials who expressed "concern" about Robert Malley, an adviser to Obama who has advocated negotiations with Hamas and providing international assistance to the terrorist group.

Malley, a principal Obama foreign policy adviser, has penned numerous opinion articles, many of them co-written with a former adviser to the late Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat, petitioning for dialogue with Hamas and blasting Israel for numerous policies he says harm the Palestinian cause.

THE REAL RELATIONSHIP WE SHOULD WORRY ABOUT

Let's be very clear. The truth is yes, Barack Obama was on the Board of Directors for the Chicago Anneneberg Challenge. William Ayers helped to write the grant proposal that this group used to land $49.2 MILLION for the Chicago public schools. Where did this money come from? It was donated by Walter Annenberg, a lifelong Republican who served as the US Ambassador to the UK under President Richard Nixon and is well-known to have been good friends with Ronald Reagan.

At the end of the day, this relationship has brought much needed money into the public schools of one of our biggest cities. Even the lead federal prosecutor of William Ayers in the 1970s, William C. Ibershof, has said that he is "outraged that Senator Barack Obama is being linked to William Ayer's terrorits activities 40 years ago when Mr. Obama was just a child."

There's also another truth. John McCain has been voting in lockstep with the Bush Administration over the last eight years, endorsing Bush's foreign policy and financial strategies. What has this cost the American taxpayer? We're currently spending of $10 BILLION PER MONTH to fight in Afghanistan and Iraq, wars that have lasted longer then World War I or World War II. Thousands of young Americans have given their lives in a war that John McCain said would be quick and easy with the Iraqis, "greeting us as liberators." And the deregulation of the financial markets helped get us into another situation that is costing us an additional $700 BILLION.

Now tell me, which relationship has had a more damaging effect on our country? I don't think it would take any of us too long to realize that we are much worse off now then we were eight years ago. And as much as the Republicans try to lay blame on the Democrats, common sense always tells us that whoever was in charge is to blame. The blame is rightfully fixed on the policies of George W. Bush, policies that John McCain has supported time and time again.

If there's a relationship that we should really question, it is John McCain's allegiance to George W. Bush.

HELP, the paranoids are after me, the paranoids are after me!

This old Rovian tactic of trying to scare people into submission isn't going to work. What are Palin/McCain going to do next, bring back the color-coded terrorist attack alert level chart?

I just can't believe McCainiacs are so gullible: Easily deceived or duped.

Where do these people who have made all othese comments get there information from. these are not things that a widely known and seems to me someone would have to have some prrof if you are going to make these type of statements about someone . Apparently you really do not know the meaning of a terrorist. Mcain appears to be the untruthful candidate who knows he is losing and comes up with anything to make uneducated people decided to vote for him. If you never watch tv, listen to the radio, then you need to wake up.

This is pathetic. Here's a scary association for you: McCain and G Gordon Liddy. Think the media will mention that? If it doesn't come from the McCain Campaign, I doubt it. Our intrepid corps of press stenographers dutifully acts as a conduit for McCain's utter dishonesty.

G. Gordon Liddy. Liddy served four and a half years in prison for his role in the break-ins at the Watergate and at Daniel Ellsberg's psychologist's office. He has acknowledged preparing to kill someone during the Ellsberg break-in "if necessary."
He plotted to kill journalist Jack Anderson. He plotted with a "gangland figure" to murder Howard Hunt in order to thwart an investigation. He plotted to firebomb the Brookings Institution. He used Nazi terminology to outline a plan to kidnap "leftist guerillas" at the 1972 GOP convention. And Liddy's bad acts were not confined to the early 1970s. In the 1990s, he instructed his radio audience on how to shoot Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agents ("Go for a head shot; they're going to be wearing bulletproof vests." In case anyone missed the subtlety of his point, Liddy also insisted: "Kill the sons of bitches.") During Bill Clinton's presidency, Liddy boasted that he named his shooting targets after the Clintons.

What does Liddy have to do with the presidential election? As Media Matters has noted:

Liddy has donated $5,000 to McCain's campaigns since 1998, including $1,000 in February 2008. In addition, McCain has appeared on Liddy's radio show during the presidential campaign, including as recently as May. An online video labeled, "John McCain On The G. Gordon Liddy Show 11/8/07," includes a discussion between Liddy and McCain, whom Liddy described as an "old friend." During the segment, McCain praised Liddy's "adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great," said he was "proud" of Liddy, and said that "it's always a pleasure for me to come on your program."

McCain even backed Liddy's son's congressional bid in 2000 -- a campaign that relied heavily on the elder Liddy's history.

To sum up: John McCain is "proud" of his "old friend" Gordon Liddy -- an old friend who plotted to kill one of the most respected journalists in American history, and who urged listeners to kill federal agents and advised them on how to do so. McCain campaigned for Liddy's son, and Liddy has even hosted a fundraiser for McCain at his home.

Two (2) GOP leaders Quit their Party’

Two prominent Virginia Republican politicians publicly criticized their party this week. One attributing his disdain with the GOP as contributing to his decision to opt out of politics and the other angrily due to a comment by Joe McCain. Rep. Tom Davis, who served as chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee from 1998 to 2002 and represents Fairfax County's 11th Congressional District. He articulated his frustration with the Bush administration in an interview with journalist Peter Baker published in Sunday's New York Times Magazine. He's Quitting Congress, Fed Up with His Party, His President and The Process." He called President Bush a disappointment in terms of leadership." Adding,“How else can you say it?"

Yesterday, Falls Church City Councilman David Snyder, a former mayor who's been on the City Council since 1994 and is the most prominent Republican elected official in the City, announced in a letter submitted to the News-Press that he's disassociated with the GOP. Snyder accented his letter with angry comments made to the News-Press in a phone interview yesterday. He said that well-publicized comments by GOP Presidential candidate John McCain's brother, Joe McCain, in Alexandria last weekend was the "final straw." Joe McCain, speaking at a rally in support of his brother's campaign, said that Northern Virginia is a "communist country." "Such a label is deeply offensive for all of us," Snyder said in his letter." This is yet another reminder of the neo-McCarthyism now so much a part of the political debate." He concluded, "The Virginia Republican Party, under whose tent these comments were made, is not a party with which I wish to be associated for this and many other reasons, unless and until it returns to the principles of its once revered former leaders, such Abraham Lincoln and Dwight David Eisenhower." Asked by the News-Press to confirm that the letter constituted an announcement of a formal disassociation, Snyder said, "Absolutely."

Zeke - the reason why Ayers never went to prison is he got off on a technicality. After 9/11 he actually said he wished he had done it and he should have planted more bombs around the country - google it - you will find the facts.

And you all condemn this ad, don't you want to know who Obama is associated with? He is endorsed and socializes with people who say white people are devils and Jews are blood-suckers. Now, neither candidate is perfect - I am not saying McCain is a saint - but do you seeing him hanging out with the KKK? Of course not - can you say you don't see Obama hanging with the equivalent - read on and you will see you can't. Obama associates with people who would not be fitting of a President - period. Read on:

Obama’s endorsers and supporters range from admitted terrorist William Ayers and Weatherman Underground leader Bernardine Dohrn to Jane Fonda, Tom Hayden, the New Black Panthers, the New SDS, and a host of other radical organizations and individuals.

Among other things, the New Black Panthers favors releasing all blacks from jails throughout the world and giving blacks reparations for slavery. The group asserts that until that happens, blacks should be exempt from all taxes.

The media blackout on Obama’s associations goes back to last January, when Newsmax began running stories on his minister’s sermons and the fact that his church gave an award for lifetime achievement to Farrakhan. When the media finally began picking up the stories in mid-March, the primaries began favoring Hillary Clinton instead of Obama.

Farrakhan has called whites “blue-eyed devils” and the Antichrist. He has described Jews as “bloodsuckers” who control the government, the media, and some black organizations.

“Do you know some of these satanic Jews have taken over BET [the Black Entertainment Network]?” Farrakhan said in a speech on Nov. 11, 2007. “Everything that we built, they have. The mind of Satan now is running the record industry, movie industry, and television. And they make us look like we’re the murderers; we look like we’re the gangsters, but we’re punk stuff.”

The month after that speech, Obama’s minister and friend, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. and his Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, honored Farrakhan at a gala, bestowing on him its Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Lifetime Achievement Trumpeteer award.

Obama has said he found religion through Wright in the 1980s and consulted him before deciding to run for president. He prayed privately with Wright before announcing his candidacy last year.

Marlene and Sam - I can't believe you are so easily duped! Google Ayers - he said as recently as 2002 (maybe 2001) that he does not regret his actions and he would do it again. Does this sound like a rehabilitated person to you? Not really.

A person is known by his actions. You hang with crooks, You probably are a crook. Take a peek at his actions...Obama has shady ties, THOSE ties leed back to acorn, and the distruction of our stock market. Socailist ideas..
He wants change, but its not the change we need.
Look at his history as a senator. How did he vote in senate? Did he vote? Present...
How much in earmarks did he recieve? 9 million dollars. Doesn't sound like much of a change . His association with radicalism pretty much decided my vote.
