Obama Connection To Capitol Bomber William Ayers Topic Of New Ad

"Barack Obama is friends with Ayers, defending him as, quote, 'Respectable' and 'Mainstream,'" the ad states. "Obama's political career was launched in Ayers' home. And the two served together on a left-wing board. Why would Barack Obama be friends with someone who bombed the Capitol and is proud of it? Do you know enough to elect Barack Obama?"

I’m astounded that Mccain actually went on the attack. He is worried. Big time

Bob   August 21st, 2008 - 5:19 pm

Global warming, peak oil, water deprivation economic collapse, trillion dollar deficits and McCain talks about some guy who said something forty years ago. Its all too hard to come to grips with reality so we just make stuff up.
McCain has nothing to offer you- work it out.

Steve F   August 21st, 2008 - 5:57 pm

Ayers was a TERRORIST that bombed Federal Bldgs, one policeman was killed this is not “small, petty crimes”. You Left Wingers are so intent on destroying the USA it is amazing. You should be ashamed..but I know you are not! A few years ago Ayers said he wish he could have done MORE damage. I do not care all that much for McCain..but he is a Heck of a lot better than the Soro’s creation Obama!

Texan 2   August 21st, 2008 - 6:28 pm

Right back at ya Obama! I’d rather have a man who can remember how many houses he may own over a guy who hobnobs with Terrorists and America haters anyday.

Reality   August 21st, 2008 - 7:07 pm

“It is way over due- to stand up against all of these divide and conquer, miscreant’s and send them packing.”
I assume you’ll be the first to pack, since your post is clearly divisive.

I’d also suggest doing actual research, not just accepting a 30-second ad. But then, I happen to believe the media and advertising in our country are worse than the extremists, and the people who make decisions based solely on ads are the real problem with our country:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Ayers

And lastly, not that anyone reads this far, why do some people insist on emphasizing that Obama’s middle name is Hussein? Are we supposed to fear his name? How small minded and un-American you are. Voting based on name not competence is how we got Bush Jr., and he is the biggest liability McCain faces. Why-oh-why didn’t McCain run as an independent in 2004, when we needed a competent military leader? Now we need Ron Paul to clean up the economy, and the media wouldn’t even interview him.

Christopher   August 21st, 2008 - 7:09 pm

fingers in ears eyes shut- I am not hearing you, I am not looking at this…I am just going to pull the lever for Obama because Hollywood, Time Magazine, and Europe says he is the best choice! I dont care if he has Charles Manson for VP- I am a Democrat and always vote Democrat!

Gregory Scott   August 21st, 2008 - 9:04 pm

To liberals, this association is a badge of honor! Hey, Obama has got some great connections! What a guy! This just makes him all the more of a hero.

But, hey— don’t tell them they don’t love this country. Sure, they want to blow up the White House, turn it into The People’s Republic of The United States, etc. But they love this country. It has great bones and will really be nice once they tear everything out and remodel it completely!

Everybody, I recommend that you all be armed for the coming riots and race violence when Obama loses in November. I am not in support of race violence, but I’m afraid it might break out when he loses.

Great ad. And to think there are still so many other controversial things in Obama’s past that haven’t been talked about…. He will drop another 10 points by the election.

sweet. ahh the company we keep

nopcnonsense   August 22nd, 2008 - 12:13 am

FINALLY! I have been waiting for this. Now they need a follow-up ad about William Ayers’ publications encouraging children to kill their parents and advocating for parents to have the legal right to kill their children until the age of one.

Also, where are the ads discussing the fact that if Barry HUSSEIN Obama were applying for a job with the FBI, CIA or Secret Service he would never make the cut because of his disgusting background and terrible associations? And this clown has the right to run for President?

Golliwogg   August 22nd, 2008 - 12:17 am

This dispicable POS is a professor at U of Chicago, when he ought to be on a highway cleanup patrol, in a striped jumpsuit, being watched by a sheriff with a shotgun. He stomps our flag, his wife and Michelle Obama are best friends and they hang together, after all they both hate America. Will the MSM ever do their job and expose these friendships on their own instead of being asked to? I’d much rather run a campaign against Hussein Obama and his wife, the white people hater Michelle, than against Hillary and the ol’ philanderer in chief.

Bad Company   August 22nd, 2008 - 12:30 am

Why would Nobomba be friends w/someone who bombed the Capitol?

Cuz Ayers isn’t a…”typical white person.”

I agree nopc   August 22nd, 2008 - 12:34 am

-nopcnonsense…The Democrat Party/so-called leaders, the media and a bunch of spineless, anti-war(at all cost) anti-capitalist,demogog’s have built this guy up and just gave him the right to run, let alone become the presumptive nominee.
Thank you Democrat’s everywhere for allowing this type of dereliction to reign over your once great Party.
Fascist have infiltrated are process and have power. It is way over due- to stand up against all of these divide and conquer, miscreant’s and send them packing.

Nick   August 22nd, 2008 - 12:48 am

Wasn’t McCain’s carpet bombing of innocent people in Vietnam an act of terrorism?

E390   August 22nd, 2008 - 1:23 am

The left (dem party) have always wanted the great USA to be communist/socialist run. The scary thing now is they are telling the American public how much they hate this county and not trying to hide their hate. Obama, Pelosi, dean Reid will tell voters you either vote for Obama or declare your racist views. They feel they have already won the white house and the 60 person majority to “change” America into their personal atm. Rights will be lost all in the name of global betterment.

Logic Lee   August 22nd, 2008 - 1:37 am

There is no possible way to sugarcoat this association. You can’t justify a friendship and working association with this bomber an unrepentent terrorist–not unless you sympathize with his cause in some way.

This is not about something someone did forty years ago since this particular terrorist still says he wish he had done more. In other words Barack’s friend still harbors strong terrorist sentiments.

Kerry   August 22nd, 2008 - 1:38 am

Nothing new here but it is nice to see the truth in and add. I saw where they are going to hit back on the how many houses add, with a rundown on how Barack got the oh-so-sweet deal from the convicted felon Resco for his.

jbh50   August 22nd, 2008 - 2:31 am

BO never answered his connection. His campaign just tries to sweep his questionable contacts out of the media. McCain would not have to run this ad if the media actually did their job…

Mission Accomplished   August 22nd, 2008 - 2:39 am

I guess now that the US and Iraq have a worked out a withdrawal time table, Rove needed something else over which to attack Obama. I was sort of hoping he’d go with “America and Iraq want to forfeit the war in Iraq. John McCain wants to keep fighting anyhow.”

namaste   August 22nd, 2008 - 3:54 am

When will you people learn how to spell? If you did that properly then maybe someone would listen to what you have to say. Until then I am more interested in hearing an intelligent argument instead of ignorant ranting.

m-antony   August 22nd, 2008 - 5:12 am

There will be many of his associations come out in the mainstream media. Bombs the Capitol, and obama is “friends” with him ? Any true American would not be anywhere near a domestic terrorist. And we are to turn a blind eye to a presidential candidate? Shows how misguided we have become.He is a dirty politician. The Commander in Chief should have no such associations.

Barry   August 22nd, 2008 - 7:26 am

Wasn’t Timothy McVeigh executed for being a domestic terrorist? Of course he was, but somehow Ayers escapes justice! It doesn’t matter if no one was killed by his bombs. We’ve locked up foreigners for terrorist actions just because it caused terror in our hearts. Obama should be ashamed to be “friends” with someone like this!

Is this as really an attack ad against Ayers for associating with a loser as Obama?

[...] Obama is attempting to persuade the Department of Justice to block a new ad which discussed the ties between Obama and the unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers. Sen. Barack Obama [...]

Dwight   August 26th, 2008 - 9:49 am

Great ad! Now we need to see some ads with Obama’s spiritual advisor, The Racist Rev. Wright.
Obama sat in that church and cheered with the rest of them for 20+ years!

Brian   August 26th, 2008 - 11:09 am

A democracy only works when people have access to all the information on a topic. Not just the information the main stream media wishes us to see. Good work on the ad. Want more information on both parties.

the Dude   August 26th, 2008 - 1:31 pm

The lib comments on this page are hilarious! Their man is taking criticism and they begin to melt. Can you say paper tiger? Truly pathetic.

The fact remains Ayers is an unrepentant domestic terrorist and Obama is his friend. Even a three year old on the playground can make the connections and pass judgement.

Mr. Kelly   August 26th, 2008 - 6:15 pm

McCain didn’t run this add. It was a 501.

Talcum-X   August 26th, 2008 - 6:56 pm

I believe you meant 527. It is astonishing how ignorant these Obamatons actually are. The sponsor of the ad was named in the article, McCain had nothing to do with it(which is a shame)…too stupid to even read the text?

Pete   August 26th, 2008 - 7:11 pm

My question is, are the claims true? Did BO announce his candidacy for office from his house? Did BO surf with this killer? Did BO use these words to describe Ayers?

The claims are true or they are not. I don’t care what McCain has done, this is not the issue, two wrongs don’t make a right.

If these claims are true, it truly gives one pause for thought.

Frank   August 26th, 2008 - 7:47 pm

If the shoe was on the other foot (ie, McCain’s), Big Media (BM) would make it their business to educate the public with every gory last detail with a great deal of handwringing. Fact is, if McCain had been involved with the type of associates that Obama had, I would applaud the media for exposing it. Where are the investigative reporters who doggedly refuse to let go of a vital story?

Trev   August 26th, 2008 - 7:54 pm

How can Obama be allowed to censor the ad’s we see? If the statements in the ad are true–it should AIR–unhindered. Obama cannot be allowed to gustafo the media outlets in America. People stand up against this fascist before it’s too late..

You are about as stupid as Bob August 21st, 2008 – 5:19 pm who thinks that McCain is responsible for this add, and somehow “global warming” and “peak oil” are actually crises that require government intervention. Anything for a power grab…

Enuf Already   August 27th, 2008 - 12:10 am

I could care less who is friends with whom (within wide limits.) But, I get mad as heII at our pols trying to censor what we see and hear about them!

Shame on you Barack for try to bully the media. You should stand up for free speech instead of attacking it when it is not in your favor.

Is this your inconvenient truth?

WTF   August 27th, 2008 - 1:00 am

@ REALITY:

Besides the fact that Wikipedia is not the most reliable source for information, I did follow the link that you posted and read the article. It did nothing but back up the claims made in McCain’s ad. The man is still unrepentant about his terrorist activities.

I’m no fan of McCain, but when I see Obama trying to subvert our right to free speech, it gives me a sense of Orwellian foreboding. Even though these terrorist activities happened many years ago, Ayres hasn’t even said he was sorry. So I guess it’s ok to be buddies with Osama bin Laden if he stops his terrorist activities for a few years?

demotards   August 27th, 2008 - 1:49 am

I wish some of these liberals could give me ONE good thing Obama has actually voted for and implemented in his extensive political career. They look like idiots getting offended and making accusations about Republicans when they don’t even know what the SOB they support has ever done!

Mike   August 27th, 2008 - 5:38 pm

Has anyone thought to ask how Ayers, who made the “we didn’t do enough” comment in 2001 not 30 years ago, is a “Distinguished” professor at the University of Illinois? Who hired him? His fanatical marxist rhetoric being propagated against young students is how we get Presidential candidate’s wives telling us “this is the first time I have ever been proud of my country”(even though she is a black american who attended an ivy league school, and is a millionaire working at a hospital that turns away poor people who cannot pay). According to wiki he said the following on PBS “I’ve thought about this a lot. Being almost 60, it’s impossible to not have lots and lots of regrets about lots and lots of things, but the question of did we do something that was horrendous, awful? … I don’t think so.

Flyoverman   August 27th, 2008 - 7:34 pm

I do not give a rat’s rear about McCain or politics. I do care about my country and the Constitution. William Ayers has been a subversive all his life. He hates our system with a passion. Take it from someone from his age group. I remember the Weather Underground. If he thought a foreign power could topple our government and establish a socialst regime, Ayers would actively assist them.

That is what he is. That the person Obama actively associates with. Obama supporters, if that does not bother you, if that does not cause you to question the kind of person Obama is, then deal with the results of your choice if you elect him.

To all those who want to “feel good by speeches,

Should you not be more worried about the activity
of YOUR candidate with questionable ties to Ayres
Soros, Wright, etc.? Rather than BLAME someone for looking into these matters? YOU too, should WANT TO KNOW ALL ABOUT OBAMA-Instead of looking the other way, or blaming McCain or anyone else.

Ask yourselves: WHY IS OBAMA TRYING TO SQUASH THE
INFORMATION BY USING “PUTIN STYLE TACTICS-TAKING AWAY YOUR RIGHTS TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH”

THIS IS “NOT ABOUT ANY PARTY-DEM, GOP, IND. …
RATHER, IT IS ABOUT BEING DUPED BY SOMEONE WHO CAN PUT YOU IN A TRANCE BY HIS SMOOTHE SPEECHES ON A TELEPROMPTER. LOOK UP THE INFORMATION FOR YOURSELVES AND KNOW WHAT/WHO YOU ARE FAWNING OVER. SOROS CONNECTIONS SHOULD ALSO GIVE YOU PAUSE-HE IS A SOCIALIST WHO WANTS TO BRING AMERICA TO IT’S KNEES(THIS IS HIS DREAM) AND OBAMA IS BEING BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BY SOROS.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW WHY AYRES AND HIS WIFE
ARE NOT BEING LOOKED INTO BY OUR DOJ? WHY HAVE THEY GOTTEN A PASS?

YOU SHOULD “WANT TO KNOW ALL YOU CAN ABOUT OBAMA,

ARM ANYTHING THAT OPENS UP HIS PAST”

sharon   September 6th, 2008 - 10:21 pm

Just a couple of comments. Why is Obama blocking this ad? If it’s not the truth just say so in another ad. Second, if I hear one more time about McCain not knowing how many houses he has when Obama said we have 57 or 58 states and wasn’t sure but do you hear that played over and over again. NO…WHY…because Obama has got the mainstream media in his pocket. I don’t know what he has promised to CNN, MSNBC, ABC,CBS or NBC but it’s obvious they will go to extraordinary extremes to make sure that Obama’s history and past and present truths do not come out and will mislead the public at every opportunity. What is really going on in the media not just Washington?

middle of the road   September 18th, 2008 - 2:32 am

The group that Ayers and Obama are both on is an anti-poverty group. The ad makes it look like it’s a terrorist group, but it’s not.

Ayers was never convicted of any crime related to the Weathermen bombings, even though he admits a connection to the group and its ideals.

Obama was only 8 years old when the Weathermen enacted their violent protests, so he never participated in their terrorist organization. Also, the only victim of the Weathermen was one of their own members.

Also, the weathermen clearly believed in the right to bear arms.

Make sure you pass your judgment taking all of the true facts into account. Look it up in the washington post.

MIKE   September 18th, 2008 - 3:11 pm

A bunch of mess as usual. Actions speak louder than words, and all someone did was put some junk together. There are no pictures linking them together just what people want you to think. That just goes to show everyone that racism still exsists here in this century. Its a shame to see grow folks are affaid of one man because of his political power but most of all his color. I guess thats what happens if your a true racist. But what people fear the most is that a black man came into the white house and had to fix a white man’s problem and not having to cater to him for the first time. We all bleed RED BLOOD not matter of where we came from.

Here’s the fact check:
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2008/02/obamas_weatherman_connection.html
This is old news–came out during the primary. Just another smear campaign. Read link above.

“Senator Obama strongly condemns the violent actions of the Weathermen group, as he does all acts of violence. But he was an eight-year-old child when Ayers and the Weathermen were active, and any attempt to connect Obama with events of almost forty years ago is ridiculous.This is old news. Just another claim to smear Obama.”

It is time to abandon both.

BHO is just as much White as he is African American. Why is he only referred to as being African American? Why is he not referred to as being white or racialy mixed. He is behavior and manorisms are more like white males than any other racial profile. He, in my opiniion, should be referred to as an AfroAnglo American of.

Smegolicious   September 22nd, 2008 - 3:59 pm

Some truth about Ayers-

The video resurrects a 30 year old context-lie “Proudly saying” “We didn’t do enough”

“This is not a question of being misunderstood or ‘taken out of context’, but of deliberate distortion.” -Ayers

On September 9, 2008, journalist Jake Tapper reported on the comic strip in Bill Ayers’s blog explaining the soundbite: “The one thing I don’t regret is opposing the war in Vietnam with every ounce of my being….’When I say, ‘We didn’t do enough,’ a lot of people rush to think, ‘That must mean, “We didn’t bomb enough s—.’ But that’s not the point at all. It’s not a tactical statement, it’s an obvious political and ethical statement. In this context, ‘we’ means ‘everyone.’” -Ayers

Ayers is currently a Distinguished Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, College of Education. His interests include teaching for social justice, urban educational reform, narrative and interpretive research, children in trouble with the law, and related issues.

Obama was what, 8? give me a break..
He was an activist for equal rights to blacks and was trying to stop the government from slaughtering men, women and children in Vietnam.

What did any of you do to stop the war and racism? You think this text is going to change anything now? Sure, what he did is extreme. But they never hurt anybody other than themselves. It was a crazy time.

But Obama hangs out with people that blew up the capital isnt a big deal. Lets see we know have Wright Gate, Ayers Gate, Blow Gate, Rezko Gate.

College students that support Obama there is no way he can deliver on lowering or giving you college for free. Dont be scared we all had to pay off college loans and work two jobs in college. Im not saying I love McCain but hes a realist. VOTE MCCAIN PALIN 08

PGHALL   September 22nd, 2008 - 9:00 pm

And..what about OBAMA and ODINGA?
When is someone going to discuss
Obama’s troubling support for the Kenyan opposition leader –his cousin — Raila Odinga, the leader of the violent uprising of the newly elected Kenyan government who signed a memorandum of understanding with Kenyan Muslims to turn Kenya into an Islamic state governed by sharia law? And this is not all…
And yes – up until the campaign got hectic Obama admitted to talking with him daily…and there are many pictures of their visits together …
Ayers is just one of MANY issues that the liberal journalists in Obama’s back pocket will not discuss. Odinga is obviously another… and there are plenty more. Wake up America!

What a sham our news media has become. A “cover” for the truth and a tool for the favored.

Obama’s ties to terrorists like Bill Ayer, America-haters like Rev.
Wright… PLUS the support of people like those running his Houston campaign office (where a Communist-Cuba flag and huge poster of mass-murderer Che Guevara are proudly displayed) should make us all stop and ask: Who IS this man?

George   September 24th, 2008 - 7:47 am

Just look at facts—not fiction.

1: Ayers was a terrorist as were the weathermen, regardless of the time passed, he and Obama are friends—enough said.

2: Obama states that clean coal production is needed, the same day away from the coal region Biden says no way to clean coal, let China do it.

3: Obama states never will we allow drilling for oil off the coast of the U.S. and also states that more production of oil will not lessen the oil crunch here in the U.S. basically he tells us that supply and demand works everywhere but in the oil industry. Then a poll is taken, Americans want oil production off our Coasts and Obama and the democrats are now trying to get you to believe they invented the wheel and that they are in favor of offshore drilling.

4: Biden says we will not bail out AIG, Obama says he shouldn’t have said that without checking first, after telling Katie Curic that we should bail out AIG.

5: Obama has been in office as a Senator for approx. 200 days and has spent his entire time running for President, with no credentials except his oratory and fairy tale skills. He was President for Harvard Law review, very impressive but how can that happen without EVER having written a review himself. Someone is pushing for Obama and he has their backing and financial support, we just don’t know who has groomed him and what they’ll get in return.

6: Obama had stated he will cut taxes for the middle class. Here are some facts. The richest people in the U.S. (and believe me I’m not one of them, I work 3 jobs—lost my best job under the Clinton regime, thanks to NAFTA) pay 70% of our taxes. In addition approx. 40% of our population pay 0 taxes because of how much they make (or don’t make I guess), the rest of us are the middle class. Now from what Obama has said and what I heard was he will take back the bad, bad tax breaks given by George Bush which amounts to an average of $3400 for middle class America. He will then give middle class America a $1,000 tax credit. Now if the mindless that are programmed to pull one lever get a pencil and paper they should be able to figure out that they are actually getting a tax raise of $2400, on average and he has diguised that as a tax break.

7: I apologize for saying this without giving a name but I can’t remember what democratic politician said it but it was within the last month. they have thawarted every attempt by the present administration from passing any bills put forth to try and move the economy forward and they have been doing this for over a year. The reason–”We will do nothing to help the republicans with the upcoming election”. That’s right, the democratic congress could care less about the problems we face and the current economy crisis, it’s more important to make the republicans look as bad as possible prior to the election. Even now they are refusing to pass the 700 billion dollar buyout that every economist is saying is the only way from stopping us going into a full repression.

8: I’m not saying that the republicans haven’t made their share of mistakes but a person running for President that has a congressional voting record that more often then not has him voting PRESENT, isn’t the guy we need in office. If he doesn’t have the guts to vote Yea or Nay on an issue then he isn’t ready for that preverbial 3 AM call. He doesn’t vote on issues for two reasons, first no poll was taken to show him which vote would get him more votes in his next election and he doesn’t want to have any evidence behind him of how he will really run the Country, if elected. He tells people in Wisconsion one thing and then travels to Pennsylvania and tells then the exact opposite, he does nothing but pander for votes.

9: Last but not least, Obama has selected Joe Biden as his running mate, that should be enough to show you he doesn’t have the judgemment to be President. Biden is a liability as a politician, he’s been running for President and has never even gathered 1% of the democratic vote. He’s a liability as a catholic, one of the reasons he was selected. He stands in front of his church, yet votes for every abortion bill that has ever existed, including the killing of those already outside the womb. He’s a liability as a speaker as he forgets what he’s supposed to say and just rambles on and constanly contradicts himself and Obama. Neither of them have any executive experience but try to use Gov. Palin’s record as a lack of experience. Well running a city regardless of how small and being Governor of Alaska is much more impressive then anything either of these two did.

mee   September 24th, 2008 - 9:07 am

yes so actually Obama worked for Ayers for almost 7 yrs. on the ANNEBERG CHALLENGE but before that Obama and Ayers worked on another board called the WOODS FUND During WOODS FUND OBAMA and AYERS funneled $$$$ to a prof. Khalidi at Columbis university…This professor was a member of the PLO…and he was responsible for help getting the Iranian pres to speak at Columbia last year (or 2 yrs. ago)and do you remember the “forum” where Obama and Mccain talked at COLUMBIA????how they were so pro-Obama ..well all this “radical” to Change America to appease everyone is sooo sickening..because I am very proud to live here and don;t need liberals to try to convince oterwise…

notta koolaiddrinker   September 25th, 2008 - 11:38 pm

Voting for McCain or Obama would be foolish for everyone to do. I see a lot of McCain support on here and it’s laughable to me that this guy gets defended by conservatives. Here’s a news flash folks…being a conservatiive talk show listener does not make you a conservative. The “new media” and Republican party have bait and switched you and you are falling for it. Palin is not running for President. The most left leaning Senate Reepublican is. It was just 4 years ago that the most liberal Senator in the Senate at the time (John Kerry) considered him as q running mate. Let’s be consistant. We critisize the Dem’s for loving their candidate Obama without knowing him, yet 2 days After McSame picks Palin the Republicans are drooling all over her about how great she is. It’s ridiculous and hypocritical! I’ve watched my Republican party move so far left that I cannot call myself a republican anymore. I’ve watched Rush, and especially that clown Hannity become vocal pieces for the party instead of voices for the conservative movement. I am FED UP! Hannity openly supported Arnold Schwartzenager for Govenor of California over the more conservative pick all for the sake of winning a race. When you put a democrat with an R in front of their name into office what have you won!
Rush used to laugh at Dems for not knowing how out of control their party was losing it’s way. Now any independent thinker who doesn’t need Rush or Hannity to tell them what to think see’s the GOP do the same thing. I am voting for Bob Barr. This is in protest to the GOP putting a pro life democrat at the top of the Republican ticket and try to sway me by putting a “conservative” unqualified (yes I said it) govenor as the veep. We are electing a President, not the VP’s. It will be the Presidents policy that will be advanced, not the veep’s. For those who think Palin can influence McCain you need to get real. His whole party could not influence him not to try to be the media darling maverick. The rest of elections I will vote for Republicans (there are no conservative dems in my area). My only hope is that enough conservatives will make a statement with our vote that the Republicans will wake up and get behind someone who better represents the base. Hopefully Palin will get some more time under her belt so we can see who she REALLY is…and I hope it’s what she’s saying she is now, so that maybe we will see her on the ticket again. Hopefully with the Govenor of Louisiana.
Oh yeah…I can hear the Kool Aid drinkers right now. “Voting for Barr is like voting for Obama”. Well, to me voting for McCain is the same for voting for Obama (policy wise). That idea is what will keep the broken 2 party system in power. If I were the nutty paranoid type I’d say the Dems have a brilliant strategy. Keep putting FAR left candidates on their ticket, and by doing so youu are having the Republicans move left to counter you. Now we have 2 democrats running for Prez. Sad part is, all these “Hannitized” masses are to busy pointing fingers at the dems instead of at how we can strengthen our conservatgive positions, and the dems keep leading us right into their trap. Brilliant.

SuperSig   September 26th, 2008 - 2:41 am

I just want to thank “Reality” for posting a link to Wikipedia which detailed William Ayers’ history. Luckily, I had some spare time to also read the Brinks robbery of 1981.

After doing so, and doing my research, I have concluded the William Ayers is without a doubt a terrorist. He can call himself whatever he wants, he is a terrorist and has the blood of Americans on his hands.

I am astounded at the fact that piece of garbage is allowed to teach at a university. William Ayers should be tried for his participation in bombings that killed three of his own people. I know, he claims that he never hurt anyone. But that was their intent. Otherwise, why would they build a bomb filled with nails?

Wake up. Look at the facts. Obama supports this man and calls him a friend. The religion of Islam says its okay to lie. So what do YOU think is going on?

But don’t take my word for it. Look for youself.

steven   September 26th, 2008 - 2:08 pm

Please forward this to the person who send you this video:

This is such a typical GOP propaganda – twisted fact, manipulations, and scare tactics. Where are the facts? Where are the proofs? What friendship??

Do you really believe that Obama would run for president of United States and share his views and ideas with Bill Ayers?? And this is based on what – that he lived in the same neighborhood and served together with him on board of Woods Fund? There’s a lot of prostitutes in the part of town where I live – if I approach one of them and ask what time it is, does that make me a pimp?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEajOYOE5Yw

These Republican scare tactics are well known and are getting old. People are naive, but even the most naive ones will learn to think with their own head and stop being so scared all the time. It’s time to bring back the dignity to Americans. The land of the BRAVE, not the land of the scared. It’s time for a president who will focus on the problems in our own country and stop chasing “monsters” around the world. Enough is enough.

How about because if he openly stated this FACT he would not have a chance being elected President?
Note in the Presidential Debates the Body Language of the candidates as well as the content of their words……..McCain’s whole demeanor lights up when he passionately talks about critical topics facing America; Obama stands there and recites like a finely tuned robot awaiting his next rebuttal. OMG, is it really true that there is no security clearance, like FBI background checks, etc for the candidates??

An American   September 30th, 2008 - 10:12 am

To those who have the desire & the ability to unite and take action, this message is for you!
Let our country take a huge leap forward, No politics, No Bias, Just Humans looking out for one another

What have YOU done to make a difference in the world today?

Dear American Patriot

I have a Question – Do Politicians placate to the media to get elected? = If so Why

The reason is public opinion, power and control. If you agree with this concept it is safe to say the people have the power and the influence to make a difference.

We now have the vehicle to make the difference.

The Purpose of this effort
To bring people together to bring back hope and direction for those who want the world to be a better place. The Purpose of this initiative is to unify and focus our efforts to direct our leaders as to the solutions we need for the problems we have. The Goal is to make a difference by bringing people together, to better manage the resources of our planet and utilize them to the fullest. That being said the most valuable resource we have is our people. When they are organized and focused on specific issues and functions we can achieve everything. I believe in my heart most people want to make a difference or help people they just don’t know how. I believe I have a solution people will feel proud to put there time and energy into. The Internet is the solution and no politician can stop it.

It is you our so called leaders that have truly hurt this great nation, the power struggles, intoxicated with greed and control. When the ambition and dreams disappear because the Government provides everything, the entrepreneurial sprit dies with it. Humans are controlled or swayed to take action by three primary concerns, Recognition, Fear and Greed. People of Faith, Dreamers and Free thinkers can be a burden to Government because they can not be controlled. More government control equals less personal ambition, determination, desire and will to better ones future It is my belief that leaders, countries, politicians, and media, discourage optimism and create fear and dependency which further fuels this situation. Why, so popular opinion and dependency is controlled by them. (Give people hope, desire, education, belief and the opportunity, humans will succeed.)

Wherever Fame, Power, Control and Money are present, we must assume some humans will gain the ability to self-reason through the eyes of greed to serve only themselves. When in a position of Power, controlling authority, fame and money will change even the best of humans. Once power is achieved the fear of loss of money and power will alter the path to create the outcome that best serves the individual not the masses. So where are all the real leaders in the world? Another part of the problem is the fact that some people in the world have no idea who they are, why there are here and what there real purpose in life is. Because of this they may be confused, jealous, bitter, and or angry. Well I believe there is a tipping point, popular opinion, negativity, depression, helplessness and anger multiplied by the millions on a world scale, what happens? Answer: What we have in the world today, little hope, no direction, no purpose and chaos for so many. The one thing you can give to the masses, is hope, direction and belief in ones self, all things are possible.

The Plan

The answer is a shift in the balance of power, the world is getting smaller, the web is the way to bring all humans together. We can not realistically change the political system, so we have to use it to our advantage. Right or Left serves only half the Population. The answer is easy! We must remove all financial and power benefits from political positions. Politicians are in office to serve the peoples will. It is only through knowledge, communication and our resolve as free people that we can change the world.
Politicians are among the worst offenders of corruption, self-serving greed and the abuse of power to further there own pockets, causes and political gains. No longer will political opportunist benefit while others suffer, for their financial gain. No longer can political leader be in total control of misinformation and the systematic manipulation of popular opinion. We must remove all financial gains to the leaders. There lies, deceit and manipulation have reached an all time high.

Our plan is to build a website that has 5 main parts the first is self promotion to show the best that people are capable of, the theme “(What have you done to make a difference in the world today.)” The second is a voting section. (A lot to this section.) The third is a committee assignment section.. (A lot to this section too.) The fourth is International affaires working with the people of other countries. The fifth is Charity exchange uniting people, communities, states, countries and with the things they need. We must take care of our own we all have different skills and talents strengths and weakness, success comes to those who find their passion and set their goals. To create a Website is the international hub.
Mankind suffers from a lot of the same problems working together will help utilize resources, manpower and ideas

Over taxation, Immigration issues, Tort abuses and political corruption, Power struggles, Greed and all the Lies are breaking the back of the people. The only way to get humans to take action is fear, greed and recognition human behavior can not be avoided so lets use it!!! 1 issue at a time in a specific area get consensus pass it on to congress to pass it. With the backing of the people, right, left does not matter this is the path of least resistance. The internet is the vehicle to unite and direct people do care it is the proper information and the platform to do something. With the Internet and good old American ingenuity, we can solve all the major issues facing the country and the world. The one thing we can give to the masses is hope and direction through common vision and goals.
The Solution is OF – FOR and BY the American People, The Time is NOW!

Passion creates enthusiasm, success breeds success- stand up for what you believe welcome to the age of accountability

Forget Obama’s religious affiliation; forget the fact that his wife is as fake as a three dollar bill, as is he…forget even the fact that he is affiliated with known terrorists who wish nothing but harm for our Country. This man has absolutely no experience in running anything but his mouth.
I have seen store mannequins that have a lot more personality than the Obamas. They are simply actors being supported by some “unknowns” who obviously have a hidden agenda.

Seriously people…this is the United States of America we’re talking about. This is our country and some want to turn it, our future and the future of our children and grandchildren over to the Obamas. It scares me to death.

Like McCain or don’t it really doesn’t matter. He is the only clear choice we have for President of the United States.

Voice of Reason   October 1st, 2008 - 5:41 am

First of all, most of you should use Microsoft Word before posting a comment, because most of these comments have more misuse of the English language in one paragraph than Bush had throughout his entire presidency and that is pathetic on both accounts.

Secondly, this ad clearly does not construct any logically sound arguments. For example, calling someone “mainstream” does not really indicate any positive or negative feeling toward a person. Mainstream merely indicates that a thought is prevailing. There are many negative thoughts that sometimes become mainstream. This word is most likely included because the argument didn’t seem convincing enough from the designer’s perspective without it.

Additionally, this ad does not mention the context in which Obama mentioned “respectable.” They merely present one word instead of a complete statement. The whole statement is probably omitted because it would exonerate him from what the ad is trying so desperately to imply.

I am not trying to state a political preference for Obama and I will not claim to know the actual truth behind Obama’s psyche. However, from an analytical perspective, this ad presents a very sparse amount of facts and spends most of the time appealing to people’s emotions and as such, is probably based on deception. Those who launched this ad and those who take it as convincing evidence should be ashamed.

ChristianConservative   October 1st, 2008 - 8:09 pm

To notta koolaiddrinker.

I am a Christian Conservative and I will be voting for McCain because he is not Obama. McCain is not a socialist, he is not pro-choice, he is not against the 2nd amendment, he does not want to tax us to death. I would have preferred another candidate but if I have to choose between not voting and keeping Obama out of the White House, I will vote McCain to try to keep Obama out of the White House.

There are issues that matter a great deal to me, but my country and fellow citizens are more important as a whole than my issues. If Obama is elected with the democrat controled Congress, this country as we know it will be changed forever.

I will not vote for a third party candidate because I did that once before with a lot of other people and it split the Republican vote and Clinton won.

Regardless of party affiliations, this discussion just illustrates how so many lazy Americans eat up these ads (which, like commercials attempting to sell products, are strategically designed to play on our emotions-not on rational thought). It’s the epitome of passive learning that fuels our already politically brainwashed minds. We should all put down our potato chips, peel ourselves off our lazyboys and head to the library to find some authoritative sources before we succumb to any knee-jerk emotional reactions, whether it be acceptance or dismissal of such an ad.
As any writer knows, citing ads (which are always biased) is lazy, unprofessional, and unconvincing. That said,
“Voice of Reason” gives a good commentary on the ad from an analytical, rather than emotional, perspective.

teachergal   October 3rd, 2008 - 5:15 pm

I met Bill Ayers last year when we invited him to speak at our school at a seminar on war and peace. I found him to be compelling, informed, and conscientious. I do not believe him to be the extremist terrorist that the media has painted him to be. His message to the kids? Get involved. Have an opinion. Pay attention to world around you and your responsibility to it. I was thoroughly inspired and so were my high school students. As he explained it to us, his involvement with the bombing of the Pentagon as a Vietnam protest was purely circumstantial. The wing of the building that was bombed was unused at the time and completely empty -chosen for that exact reason; nobody would get hurt. The protest was meant to make a statement -to force the politicians to think about the thousands upon thousands of American lives senselessly sacrificed, not hurt anybody. Aside from that, the individuals responsible for the act were merely a part of the same organization as Ayers, not Ayers himself. At the end of the day, it’s all sensationalized… carefull what you believe, people.

Do you hear teachergal (3 posts up) actually defending the bombing of the pentagon in a sorry attempt to support her views and the unamerican liberal democrats??? I can’t believe what I am reading! Wake up Democrats! You are supporting the dismantling of this country through tax and spend, liberal media to our kids, entitlement of everything from health insurance to home mortgages, and even bombing of the Pentagon (according to “teachergal”). Do you want this teacher teaching _your_ kids? “Go out and bomb to support your political position”? Have you heard of the saying, “You get what you pay for”? The way life is is “You get what you work for”. Why should the rest of us work our *sses off to support your “entitlement” to basic needs like health coverage and housing while you sit around and say “I’m entitled to it all”. I don’t get it and it does not add up in the real world. You have to WORK to attain your basic needs and you have to WORK even harder if you want to get ahead. Try it… It actually yields quicker and better results than waiting for government to spoon feed you what they feel you need. You’ll be too busy bettering your life, you won’t have time or even care about bombing a government building to make your point. That’s it for today’s lesson, teachergal. Class dismissed!

Mc Cain’s past collides with present Wall Street crisis
Once upon a time a politican took campaign contributions from a friendly constituent who happenrd to run a savings & loan association. The contributions were $200,000, and there were several free vacation for the politician & family, along with private jet trips. The politiaian voted repeatedly against congressional efforts to tighten regulation of S&L. In 1987, when he learned that his constituent’s S&L was the target of federal investigation, he met with regulators in an effort to get them to back off.
That politician and four other sentors was John McCain, and his generous friend was Charles Keating, head of Lincoln Savings & Loan. (The Keating 5)
This was far worst then serving on a committe with Ayres.

connie newman   October 4th, 2008 - 7:45 pm

The problem with America, particularly the youth, istrue ignorance, not stupidity, just a lack of being informed on what freedom, capitalism, socialism and communism really are. God knows our colleges are full of left wing professors, who today, are blatantly socialist. Obama’s fiscal and global plans come right out of Karl Marx’s little handbook. I’m surprised college kids haven’t been issued a little red book of Obama talking points. Government redistribution of wealth and more social entitlements are straight from socialist and communist manifestos. Talk the truth whenever you can and teach it to your children and grandchildren. We do have the best country ever and we don’t need to follow failed systems. Keep the faith and don’t be afraid to speak out for what America really stands for. If you don’t it will be re-defined by the left.

OhioVoter44120   October 4th, 2008 - 8:21 pm

Nice try, Mr McCain, but we’re on to you, you sly rascal (insert coy wink here)! Is THIS the October Surprise we are all waiting for the McCain camp to spring on us?? This just reinforces the fact that McCain must hear the vortex sucking his campaign down, down, down. This OLD (8/21) video is a pathetic page from a failing campaigning strategy book. But, let’s talk about their other McBush strategies: have you read of the local efforts underway by the McCain pollsters, who are posing as independents, to smear Obama-Biden by lying about the Democrats’ policies towards entities in the Middle East? Yes indeed, elderly people are getting phone calls that use fear-based politics and lies with the goal of influencing the way they vote. But as with so many other moral standards Mr. McCain has thrown out the window during this campaign, McCain has chosen the low road once again and allowed push polling in four key swing states to continue on his behalf. THIS is what the McCain-Palin team will resort to. Google “McCain Push Polling 2008″ and http://stonecipher.typepad.com/the_stonecipher_report/2008/09/push-polling-it.html

Sometimes it’s the lesser of two evils, and I just CANNOT pull the lever for the likes of Obama. And to think about Michelle as a “First Lady” just makes me ill. No thanks.

FYI: I was directed to this video by a McCain smear campaign. Yes, it is old-news and it is out-dated! Since this video was placed here on 8/21, many things have changed: Palin was picked at the end of Aug by the GOP and the bail-out was only a glimmer in George Bush’s eye!

Thanks for sharing, TrueChoiceCT, but I’m really sorry that the thought of Michelle Obama in the White House makes you ill.

I hope you have excellent health coverage, TrueChoiceCT, that extends beyond Jan 20, 2009, because if you are feeling ill now, I can’t imagine how you will be feeling with Obama in the White House on Inauguration Day.

Eduard   October 4th, 2008 - 10:43 pm

I’m leaning toward Obama but this is the first time I’ve seen this ad. I thought this was all about his pastor but I don’t think his pastor is a problem. Did Ayers really attack the Pentagon? Why isn’t he in jail? This bothers me.

Leftie   October 4th, 2008 - 11:21 pm

This is such old stuff….We saw thie before and it was discredited during the primaries. Nice try McSame. We know you and the moose huntress have no chance, so you try and recycle old smears that didn’t work the first time!

OhioVoter44120   October 5th, 2008 - 9:40 am

Let me comment to the people who are seeing this for the first time and are fearful – it is OLD NEWS, and for purely political reasons posted to this site on Aug 21.

Obama was 8 when Ayers first made news.

I was directed to this site by some calling himself “Michael Moore swish3s@brightdsl.net” directing me via this link to visit it before it is pulled.

The line that goes with it is “This is the ad that Barack Hussein Obama is doing his best to get banned and has threatened stations that air it.

http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=158353

The McCain campaign is clearly behind this, a form of manipulative and misleading politics. Read my earlier postings about push polling and other unethical practices.

These tactics should not be rewarded and, as others have written, these are the tactics of a dying campaign run by the same machine that lead Bush in 2004.

Daisy   October 5th, 2008 - 3:51 pm

All you drones who support Obama are so stupid it’s sickening. He’s an empty suit but dangerous.

I’ll vote for the American War Hero McCain and Governor Palin anyday.

It’s easy to be an emotional wacko liberal Democrat – takes some thought to be a conservative.

Oh, and the movie American Carol? Loved the way it zinged you Democrazy Inaction MooveAlong.org nitwits.

Concerned Christian   October 5th, 2008 - 4:04 pm

Please read Revelations in the bible. There is a large number of Christians who say it is possible Barack Hussein Obama is the Antichrist. Please take time to research the possibility. There is plenty of information on the subject. If you still say he is not the Antichrist after you have researched the possibility, that is fine. All you will have lost is a little of your time. Thank You!

OhioVoter44120   October 5th, 2008 - 5:38 pm

Daisy, your response seems quite emotional. You didn’t offer a single fact to support your position that it takes “thought” to be a conservative.

Let me offer some information that some readers of this blog might might want to pursue.

Here are the links to the stories or the videos which are all over the internet.

To the readers of these blogs and the undecided voters: yes, please check them out.

1) Palin took 6 years and 5 colleges to get her bachelors degree (Thoughtful? You betcha!)

http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/1252044-sarah-palin

2) In 2005, Palin face the congregation and had her pastor rid her of the influence of witchcraft (Is this what “Joe Six-Pack” does at his church services?)

http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/09/25/pastor-blessed-palin-protect-witchcraft/

Here’s the question: even if Palin is thinking, is she thinking like YOU? (see my next post)

OhioVoter44120   October 5th, 2008 - 7:37 pm

“Concerned Christian”, the comment you made requires correction.

First, the citation is incorrect: it is not found in Revelations, but rather in Thessalonians and the writings of St. John.

Second, using the handy-dandy online Bible link:

http://bibleresources.bible.com/index.php

Anyone CAN search the Bible with keywords (deceiver, beast, etc) and having searched the Bible, they can eliminate the seeds of fear that you are others are planting.

Remember blog readers:
EDUCATION IS A POWERFUL REMEDY TO FEAR.

BTW, who did you say you are working for, “Concerned Christian”?

Third, now here’s my question to you: What does the Bible teach about witchcraft and people who believe in witchcraft?

“Palin and witchcraft”, see story and video that follows.

http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/09/25/pastor-blessed-palin-protect-witchcraft/

Based upon the teachings in the Bible witchcraft is a sin against the Lord.

(Passage 1 Samuel 15:22-23)

In fact, it is so CLEARLY stated as rejection of the Lord that I suggest perhaps this point should not be overlooked by those Christians who read the Bible for personal and political guidance.

DestinyBender   October 5th, 2008 - 8:16 pm

In her most recent Colorado appearance, Gov. Sarah Palin (referring to founder of the Weather Underground, bomber Bill Ayers) accused Barack Obama of “palling around with terrorists who would target their own country”. In its customary fashion, the Obama Campaign denied any friendship really existed, rather just another past acquaintance that Obama must now distance himself from.
Does Barack Obama have ANY friends? Sure, he’s got gazillions of followers in tow, hundreds of campaign advisors, dozens of political allies and several half-brothers and sisters, but where are his friends? Every time some significant person from his past is unearthed by the Media, Obama disavows any ‘friendship’ and repudiates (their) statements, positions, activities or associations. Rev. Wright, Father Flaeger, Tony Rezko, Emil Jones and now William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn – every one denounced by Obama and exiled from his campaign – as if they never even existed.
Where are all his; childhood friends, college buddies, old girlfriends, drinking partners, fellow potheads, basketball buddies, blood relatives, and other non-convicted associates?
From where I sit, it looks like anyone and everyone that Obama ever knew is now persona non gratis or they’re hiding out until AFTER the election. To me, Obama’s that guy at the party that’s always looking for the ‘bigger-better’ person to cozy-up to. You know the type, for Obama, its more about what you can do for him, than what he’ll do for you. Not the kind of person I want in the White House representing America – on Election Day, vote John McCain.

MCCAIN: POOR JUDGMENT THEN AND POOR JUDGMENT NOW

Let’s take a walk down memory lane and recall McCain and the McCain circle of friends…hmmmm…McCain and his pals “The Keating Five” ring any bells for you?

McCain became enmeshed in a SCANDAL during the 1980s as one of five United States Senators comprising the so-called “Keating Five”.

Speaking about his Keating Five experience, McCain himself said: “The appearance of it was wrong. It’s a wrong appearance when a group of senators appear in a meeting with a group of regulators, because it conveys the impression of undue and improper influence. And it was the wrong thing to do.”

The Senate ethics committee investigated the five senators’ relationships with Keating. It cited McCain and faulted his ‘‘POOR JUDGMENT.’’

http://www.suntimes.com/news/elections/1203755,obama100508.article

How about we call in another blast from McCain’s past? Let’s recall his first wife, Carol, whom John dumped after she was seriously injured while he was in Vietnam.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1024927/The-wife-John-McCain-callously-left-behind.html

Oh yes! An excellent display of character displayed by John McCain.

Even his friends portrayed McCain as a self-centered womanizer who effectively abandoned his crippled wife to ‘play the field’. They accused him of finally settling on Cindy, a former rodeo beauty queen, for financial reasons. Cindy, in John’s eyes was both bigger and better!

Your fictional account of Obama doesn’t hold a candle to the reality of John McCain’s social history.

david   October 6th, 2008 - 12:00 am

This a stupid. Obama was 8 years old when Ayers was a member of the underground. Ayers is now a college professor. You of you people are just plan stupid. McCain and Palin are both if elected will save Bush from going down in history as a total failure. McCain and Palin are just plain dumb and some of the foolist think that can run a nation. Go help us if they get elected. Wake up people

Rob   October 6th, 2008 - 11:01 am

Hey David (Oct 6),
When you learn how to spell and write a complete sentence correctly, then you can call other people stupid. Folks I submit to you the average Koolaid drinking lib/democrat who will enjoy welfare handouts given to him by Obamination.. since he obviously could not hold a job. Too bad they don’t change the laws so that you can only vote if you actually pay taxes and have a stake in America. They rest of you lib losers should just shut up and be grateful that the rest of us actually give you anything at all !!

Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC)

The CAC received a charter grant from the federal government of $49.2 million in 1995. The CAC’s successful grant application was written in 1993 by William Ayers.
At its founding, the Annenberg Challenge was made up of
The Chicago School Reform Collaborative, co-chaired by William C. Ayers.
A Board of Directors initially which was chaired from 1995 to 2000 by Barack Obama, at the time a practicing attorney.
And the Chicago Schools Research Consortium, a research arm of the Challenge.

The CAC granted $175,000 to the Small Schools Workshop. The Workshop had been established in the early 1990s by William Ayers who hired Mike Klonsky, a former activist with Ayers in the Students for a Democratic Society, or SDS. Klonsky had achieved limited notoriety in 1977 when he traveled to Beijing to seek the endorsement of Communist China for a political party he had helped establish in the United States, the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist).

The project appears to have failed to achieve any of its stated, measurable educational goals. For example, a comprehensive study by the Consortium on Chicago School Research concludes:

“Results suggest that among the schools it supported, the Challenge had little impact on school improvement and student outcomes, with no statistically significant differences between Annenberg and non-Annenberg schools in rates of achievement gain, classroom behavior, student self-efficacy, and social competence.”

OhioVoter44120   October 6th, 2008 - 1:47 pm

Rob, can you lend some insight as to why McCain resorts to smear tactics when we are in the middle of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression?

I’m writing this on Oct 6. The Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted below 10,000 pts for the first time in 4 years. The DJIA is down 537 points (loss of -5.2%) from the start of the day.

http://finance.google.com/finance?client=ob&q=INDEXDJX:DJI

In a sign of a global financial crunch, leaders from France, Germany, Italy and the U.K. met Saturday and agreed to coordinate efforts to prevent failures in Europe’s financial system.

And what is John McCain doing?

Rather than address the important issues like the current credit crisis and the loss of American jobs, John McCain wants to distract voters with nonsense and emotionally reactive ploys like the video at the top of the page.

Perhaps that’s because the policies McCain supported these past eight years are pretty hard to defend.

Perhaps it is because even after more than a quarter-century in Congress, McCain has frankly acknowledged that he lacks a command of economic issues.

McCain told The Wall Street Journal: “I’m going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign-policy issues. I still need to be educated.”

In addition, John McCain was accused of improperly aiding his political patron, Charles Keating, chairman of the Lincoln Savings and Loan Association.

McCain owns up to his mistake this way: “I was judged eventually, after three years, of using, quote, poor judgment, and I agree with that assessment.”

Here is a link to a new documentary about why John McCain’s failed philosophy and his POOR JUDGMENT are a recipe for deepening the crisis.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g72BuIvMbWY

At dire economic times like this, ask yourself: can you afford McCain’s poor judgment?

I invite everyone (and you, GG!) who view these blog pages to take a moment to watch it and then pass it on to their friends.

OhioVoter44120: Obama has one glaring flaw that even you cannot disavow. He is a democrat.

DEANNA   October 7th, 2008 - 12:27 pm

I feel that if we elect Obama we will be inviting terrorism, not because Obama is a terrorist but because no person out there that has a beef with Muslims will look past the fact he was raised in America and is an American, they will just look at his father and that he was Muslim. Unfortunately, I think we need to think about that, terrorist do not think so we need to.

Hald of America is scary stupid   October 9th, 2008 - 2:07 pm

This is SWIFT-boating all over again. John McCain is desperate and this is just ugly insinuation and smear tactics from his camp.

Dear America: are you stupid enough to fall for this again? Do you really think John Kerry was a coward in battle? Do you really think a candidate for president of the United States of America is a terrorist? Really? Or is it because he’s black? Get a grip. The republicans are doing this because they have FAILED America, on a grand scale, and their candidate only offers more of the same.

Obama talks about the issues he will deal with. McCain attacks Obama’s character. Which do you want addressing the economic crisis the Republicans created? The name-caller? Or the guy talking about solutions?

Don’t be fooled again. That’s how we got Bush.

I Think we should think long and hard before we
electic Obama, I do not think he is for American,
I don’t think he can get us out of this depression. I don’t think he has ever been in
the service, there fore he want be for the war hero’s, I think he should be in the service first before he runs for president.
I ALL so think we should just put Millary back on the ticket, I know she is for america, or maybe I should just right my own name in for
president, to bad we can’t write in who we want for President, if we could we could allso right
none of the above, but from the two we have I vote McCain.

If you want to find out who McCain really is, I dare you to read the article in The Rolling Stone “Make-believe Maverick”

Mel   October 12th, 2008 - 10:00 am

In 2006 the American people gave the Democrats a chance to right the wrongs and gave them control of the house and congress, they wanted change. And the congress has a lower approval rating than Bush! They failed the America people.
It’s not just Obama’s association with Ayers…it’s more than that. He was born a Muslim, attended Muslim schools (under the name Barry Sorotero), current Muslim family members, studied the Koran, Pakistani roommates in college (visited in their homes), ties with Rezko from Syria, Nadhmi Auchi from Iraqi, anti-American Rev. Wright, doesn’t salute the American flag….all of this should make everyone from the United States of America question this man. It seems as though Obama has people in a trance with his only talent…great speaking ability.

My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world.
I hope you’ll join with me as we try to change it.’ — Barrack Obama

Vote for trust   October 13th, 2008 - 12:28 am

I respectfully ask each and every United States citizen to please think about the seriousness of your vote this election. We have two candidates in which one will be elected as our President of this great country. One is John McCain, war veteran and POW, someone that has proven his love for his country and wears the physical scars. The other one is Barack Hussein Obama, someone that has proven nothing to the citizens of this great country.

You will have a choice. Yes I agree that Barack Hussein Obama appears to be a better speaker than John McCain. His words seem to flow in front of the camera’s. But, beware of someone who speaks with no substance and has no record to back up what he is bragging about.

Have you ever had a good friend in your life that you know has never done the things they say they have done? You know this same good friend will not do the things they say they will do? You like this good friend but, you know you just can not trust this good friend. This is what Barack Hussein Obama is doing to you and to America. Please do not let him fool you. He can not be the man in charge of what is the most important thing to us and that is our family and our country. He has not earned our trust.

The Media is intentionally making John McCain the lesser of the two candidates. Please do not trust everything that is being played over and over again on the networks used only to discredit John Mcain and Sara Palin. This is being done for a reason.

My husband and I are both working middle class parents of two children that are now 26 and 27. We have family members that are both democrats and republicans. My husband and I lost most of our savings these past few months so do not think I am one of those who has not experienced “the pain”. Money is nothing if we have no country.

We will not be responsible for putting our country, our family, and our next door neighbors in harms way by voting for Barack Hussein Obama.

I trust John McCain will keep my family safe especially my children and my grandchildren should I be lucky enough to have grandchildren one day. President John McCain is a name that I trust.

I can not trust that my mother, children, grandchildren and family would be safe under the watchful eye of a man called President Barack Hussein Obama.

I do “pray” and “trust you” you will think long and hard before you cast your vote. Please do not cast your vote for Barack Hussein Obama only to wish later you hadn’t. Please cast your vote and trust in Senator John McCain. Our country and future is depending on it. Please let us keep patriotism alive.

Thank you.

Dear OhioVoter44120 and the rest of the ‘thinkers’ who are folowing the ‘facts’.

3 Men who brought down Wall Street………………..

Be sure to read the “where they are now”!!

Here is a quick look into 3 former Fannie Mae executives who have brought down Wall Street.

1. Franklin Raines: was a Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Fannie Mae. Raines was forced to retire from his position with Fannie Mae when auditing discovered severe irregulaties in Fannie Mae’s accounting activities. At the time of his
Departure The Wall Street Journal noted, ” Raines, who long defended the company’s accounting despite mounting evidence that it wasn’t proper, issued a statement late Tuesday conceding that “mistakes were made” and saying he would assume responsibility as he had earlier promised. News reports indicate the company was under growing pressure from regulators to shake up its management in the wake of findings that the company’s books ran afoul of generally accepted accounting principles for four years.” Fannie Mae had to reduce its surplus by $9 billion.
Raines left with a “golden parachute valued at $240 Million in benefits. The Government filed suit against Raines when the depth of the accounting scandal became clear. http://housingdoom.com/2006/12/18/fannie-charges/ . The Government noted, “The 101 charges reveal how the individuals improperly manipulated earnings to maximize their bonuses, while knowingly neglecting accounting systems and internal controls, misapplying over twenty accounting principles and misleading the regulator and the public. The Notice explains how they submitted six years of misleading and inaccurate accounting statements and inaccurate capital reports that enabled them to grow Fannie Mae in an unsafe and unsound manner.” These charges were made in 2006. The Court ordered Raines to return $50 Million Dollars he received in bonuses based on the miss-stated Fannie Mae profits.
2. Tim Howard: Was the Chief Financial Officer of Fannie Mae. Howard “was a strong internal proponent of using accounting strategies that would ensure a “stable pattern of earnings” at Fannie. In everyday English – he was cooking the books. The Government Investigation determined that, “Chief Financial Officer, Tim Howard, failed to provide adequate oversight to key control and reporting functions within Fannie Mae,”

On June 16, 2006, Rep. Richard Baker, R-La ., asked the Justice Department to investigate his allegations that two former Fannie Mae executives lied to Congress in October 2004 when they denied manipulating the mortgage-finance giant’s income statement to achieve management pay bonuses. Investigations by federal regulators and the company’s board of directors since concluded that management did manipulate 1998 earnings to trigger bonuses. Raines and Howard resigned under pressure in late 2004.

Howard’s Golden Parachute was estimated at $20 Million!

3. Jim Johnson: A former executive at Lehman Brothers and who was later forced from his position as Fannie Mae CEO. A look at the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight’s May 2006 report on mismanagement and corruption inside Fannie Mae, and you’ll see some interesting things about Johnson. Investigators found that Fannie Mae had hidden a substantial amount of Johnson’s 1998 compensation from the public, reporting that it was between $6 million and $7 million when it fact it was $21 million.” Johnson is currently under investigation for taking illegal loans from Countrywide while serving as CEO of Fannie Mae.

Johnson’s Golden Parachute was estimated at $28 Million.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

1. FRANKLIN RAINES? Raines works for the Obama Campaign as Chief Economic Advisor

2. TIM HOWARD? Howard is also a Chief Economic Advisor to Obama

3. JIM JOHNSON? Johnson hired as a Senior Obama Finance Advisor and was selected to run Obama’s Vice Presidential Search Committee

IF OBAMA PLANS ON CLEANING UP THE MESS – HIS ADVISORS HAVE THE EXPERTISE – THEY MADE THE MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE. Would you trust the men who tore Wall Street down to build the New Wall Street ?

steve   October 14th, 2008 - 9:15 am

My time on earth is short, my purpose has been clear.
It was God’s intention for us to make the world we wish to have.

Questions of Gods existence are sad but true, If God does not exist then why does it feel so good to help others. If God does not exist then why do we feel bad when we have wronged another?

I don’t want to be famous; I don’t want to write a book. I have no money or power to speak of and I will never run for office. I just want to make a difference in the lives of others.

When I was 7 I had a vision of what the world could be, until now all of this change has eluded me. The blueprint is written, the path is clear. I need your help to get us there.

You can tell the measure of a man by the drivers that push; clarity in this will determine the goals in which they seek. A hand out to help or a foot on the back to climb, the American people deserve the best that Mankind can provide.

More Government control goes against Human development, if this is the path we take, it will just take longer for all humans to become what God has intended for us.

Please Choose the path that allows humans to grow and develop, handing over responsibility of your life to the Government will never bring the satisfaction that is intended for you!

An American   October 14th, 2008 - 12:22 pm

You are a racist when:

You watch TV just for one race (BET)

You subscribe to a Magazine meant only for one color (Ebony)

You have a whole month dedicated to just one race rather then all of humanity

You deny others advancement just because of color (affirmative action)

Your Church serves only one group and your God loves only one race

Why punish me and when will this change

I have tried so hard in life to get ahead only to be denied opportunity because I am WHITE.

I have never been a racist and I am saddened that others wish to deny me freedom and opportunity because of my whiteness

This is the side no one wants you to hear!!!

In God We Trust   October 16th, 2008 - 1:46 am

Do you belive in God? IF so how can we vote for a man who came out of no whear.

Revelations Chapter 13 tells us it is 42 months, and you know what that is. Almost a four year term of a Presidency.

All I can say is “Lord” have mercy on us.”
According to the book of Revelations the Anti-Christ is.
The Anti- Christ will be a man , in his 40’s. of
Muslim descent, who will deceive the nation with persaasive language, and have a Massive christ-like appeal…the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything..

Do you recognize this description?

Will American people realy vote for a man
who just came out of no whear President. Why
his name would be to hard to remember and say.

Please vote for A War Hero Mc Cain and Palin,
and yes I think she will make a good Vice President.

scruboak   October 16th, 2008 - 12:16 pm

I can’t believe anybody would even give the time of day to a con like Obama. What are we gonna have next? A muslum president?Come on people if he were elected his time here would more than likely be limited according to the word on the street. He looks like a devil with no horns!! McCain may not be the best preident we have but he’s the best from what we have to choose from!! Obama will have the coiuntry like a dictatorship in stead of a free society. From the look of the economy it’s not cheap either. Sit back and let the people have thier say at the poles in nov. Then we will see that the american people will not stand for a black president. What will he call the white house? THE CRIB? LOL Fund raiser dinner “chitlins and rice followed by some friesd chicken? Get in line and vote McCain at the Nov elections!!

vote for trust   October 16th, 2008 - 10:21 pm

I am thankful to have a site that I can read comments from individuals who feel the same as I do regarding Barack Hussein Obama. I would like to ask each and every one of us to commit to telling our friends, neighbors and all others the importance of electing Senator John McCain President of the United States. We have less than three weeks to do this. We need to urge everyone to do all they can do to spread the message. If you know individuals in any of those states that are too close to call please make contact with those individuals and urge them to vote for Senator McCain.

We have so much at stake Bob had all the facts, use them when talking with others. Talk about the real facts that the national media will not talk about.

I can not imagine Barack Hussein Obama as our president and his wife as our first lady. I do not trust either one of them. Selling the Lincoln bedroom will be nothing compared to what this administration will do.

Thank you.

WHATS THE USE   October 17th, 2008 - 2:21 pm

how can any of these people make promises they can not keep . has anyone heard of congress.the house and the senate? every bill is shot down by them and the president takes the blame.ok its bush’s fault the economy is in the shape it’s in whoa!!!!! wher was the top bosses at when this was happening. very little say has the president because he has tooooooooo many bosses. confusing you bettca. so maccain and obama don’t make promises until you get approvals any one agree ?

know a way to help, and it could all come from congress the house and the Senate and President’s, I am surprized they haven’t thought of this, We could pay them while they are working
and when there term is up, stop paying them, kind of like a lay off. Maybe this would help other people keep there jobs. Is there anyone out there that agree’s with this?
Oh, Obama, doesn’t know what he will be able to do if he gets in as President, untill Congress house and the senate tell the president what he
can do. We all no what they want to do , but can
it pass, I don’t think so.

I do believe it is immportant for everyone to get out and vote. But I must say I hope no one is putting their trust in a man. Men fail, God does not. I believe that the man God wants their for good or bad will be placed their.
We are at a time when people need someone they can trust, it is not either running mate but in Jesus Christ.
Now is the time to be on our knees, asking for guidence, not fighting each other.
Our fight is not against flesh and blood, but spirits and principalities, lets ban together and get the right man elected.

IN GOD WE TRUST   October 19th, 2008 - 10:02 pm

More than anything I want to see signs on the Post Offices, that say IN GOD WE TRUST, I want to see prayers back in the schools.

If anything bad happens to you , you better have
Jesus to talk to.
When I had cancer, I had people all around me I could talk to, but I knew that God was the only one, who would understand, I couldn’t have made it if I hadn’t had god to talk to.

Jesus said unto him, i am the way, the truthand the life no man cometh unto the father, butby me. JOHN 14.6

This election is about: Right vs. Wrong – Good vs. Bad – Work vs. Entitlement – Equality vs. Extortion

As a human Race do we want to say that, our future, our hunger, our health, our jobs and our opportunity to to be better is all dependant upon the Government.

Are we ready to accept our children being raised in this environment, will this not produce another generation of humans that believe others must provide for them? This is not right and it is not sustainable.

Forgive me God for assuming anything on your behalf, but is it not your intention for all humans to get along with one another, is it not your intention for us to better ourselves through knowledge and personal development, to improve our lives and the lives of others is this not our life’s purpose.

A question to ask: Does anyone consistently feel good about getting a handout NO
A question to consider; Does it feel good to help another YES

So If we give the Government a $1.00 to help others, the numbers of people it takes, the regulation and oversight just to help others. Because of all this red tape and corruption .30 cents is what ends up getting back to you to help. Greed and Corruption play a large roll as well that’s why it takes so much more money.

The worse thing about this is not the wasted money, misuse and disregard of the public’s intention to help others. It is that we the humans that inhabit this great planet miss the opportunity to feel the pure satisfaction the shear delight of helping a fellow man. It is us the average American person the Joe the plumber that needs to save this great country from those who wish to exploit it and change the fabric that is our constitution. We the People will bring about all the change we need. Keep our country safe and stay out of our Lives.

I was Ayers’ age when he was with the Weatherman Faction. I also lived in Chicago, Ill and am quite familiar with it’s politics.

God help us if McCain doesn’t win. This is the first time in my life I am praying to God every day to protect us from a liberal agenda that will make us a third world country in not too many years. I guess we will get what we deserve and if we deserve a liberal congress, executive branch, and possibly a judicial branch we will deserve it.

This election is not a sporting event where my team is better than your team no matter how bad they are. This is for our country’s ultimate survival. Wake up before it is too late.

[...] Alaska.  I know nothing about it, but again, how can the Obama campaign pursue this with Rezko and Ayers in their candidate’s past?  Biden’s not exactly clean either.  If she is cleared of [...]
