In a Not-Remotely-Comic Strip, Bill Ayers Weighs In on What He Meant By ‘We Didn’t Do Enough’ to End Vietnam War

Keep talking, Bill. Please, keep talking.

When you mention the “Weather Underground,” violence is EVERYTHING. This latest spin is completely inconsistent with everything the Weathermen stood for. I believe Ayers as far as I can throw him. Naturally, Ayers didn’t bother to mention the group’s desire to overthrow this country for socialism, and Obama was right there to agree with Ayers. That’s subject for another time. As Woody says, “keep talking…”

No. Violence is the answer only when it involves a mis-directed war where we’ll lose the lives of thousands of courageous young men and women and that leaves our country even more vulnerable to outside threats and violence.
That’s when violence is the answer.

y. sister – your point is correct, of course, but we’re talking about Obama’s association with Ayers during the 1990s at the time when Ayers said that “we did’t do enough…” Obama was with him at the time. Obama began his political career with the help of Ayers during the 1990s.

Gina, please be specific. How did Ayers help Obama start his career? I’ve read Obama’s books and must have missed that.

You only have to visit the Viet nam memorial to know we didn’t do enough soon enough to end that crazy war.Thousands of American lives cut short for a failed foreign policy and its ideology. Sound familiar? I didn’t agree with your tactics but your cause were admirable.

Ayers and Obama: Two peas in the same pod!

Obama, Ayers, Wright are brainwashing young people.

NO BAMA……Eisenhower sent the first “advisers” to Viet Nam.

Steve – in 1995, Palmer gathered her supporters in Hyde Park at Ayers home and introduced Obama, obtained agreemetns to proved financial support for Obama to run for Palmer’s seat.
That is of course before Palmer changed her mind after she lost the congressional race for US house, and then Obama showed the world his first instinct – restrict free choice, bump Palmer on a technicality and win unopposed.
Too bad that won’t work this time.

HEY GHM:
Biden & Obama voted FOR the bridge to nowhere!!

Attention Obama! You can run but you can’t hide!

HEY GHM:
Biden & Obama voted FOR the bridge to nowhere!!

GHM | Sep 9, 2008 11:28:40 AM
No one of them is the truth, he doesn’t know how many homes he’s got. How about:
The vetting process was thorough – LIES
I put country first – LIES
Honor – LIES

Instead of attacking Palin’s choice of books the MSM should vet all of Obama’s radical friends.
How about the guy that got him into Harvard–AL-Monsour?
How about his connection to ACORN?
ACORN in some states has been connected to voter fraud.
Time to vet Obama.

So, this statement is for what? Is it to make Americans think his earlier statement was taken out of context and that we have nothing to be concerned about regarding his close relationship with Barack “my muslim faith” Obama?
Excuse me, but I didn’t see an, “I’m sorry for the bombings” anywhere in his cartoon. Oh, I forgot, that would be an admission of guilt. The man is still an unrepentant domestic terrorist and criminal reprobate who should be making license plates in a federal penitentiary.
As for Obama, I think his association with this man dis-qualifies him for the office of POTUS.

HEY SALLY: Obama and Biden aren’t the ones claiming they were against the bridge.

All the McCain / Paling like to talk tough about the war and “good ole family values”. They dont measure up. They keep trying to bring Obama by making him guilty by association, its a really arguement. Look at the economy. look at how bad it is. McCain admitted that he knows nothing about the economy and look at how Palin has the tendencies to be corrupt. Conservatives want to fight Democrats and the world and its costing everybody thier lives. Im sick of it. Im for Dimplomacy not facism. Im voting for Obama.

This isn’t an issue for the “average” voter; but it’s definitely an issue for the “stupid” voter.

Sorry Republicans–Obama and Bill Ayers could make out on camera and I still wouldn’t vote for John McCain. The Weather Underground doesn’t scare me. Your party’s policies do.

The media should vet Obama! He has been cuddled by the media as their God-child who must be protected from scrutiny! Now, the media wants blood from Palin! Draw some from Obama, get to his Harvard funding, his earmarks/pork barrell ($1million a day of taxpayer money for Obama)! Cha-Cha-Ching.. Change that you can believe in!

And to think … Obama knew all of this stuff about Wright and Ayers (OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN SINCE HE’S SOOOOO SMART)yet he still associated with them in a meaningful way. Scary. Very, very scary.

It’s so easy to forget the tragedy of war. Knee-Jerk McCain will promote a continuous war modality to prop up the military-industrial greedy oligarchs and we all know it. The Repubs and Independents that are mindlessly groping for McCain-Palin victory will be horrified the day after they’re elected and the same neo-con idiots are appointed to run things while McCain takes a Reaganesque back seat… except for the occasional declaration of “peace keeping activities” at the end of a gun barrel. Obama will peel back some of the veils that protect these war mongers… and that’s what has them terrified. The only reason McCain even has a chance is that the media is manipulating public opinion to think Palin’s inexperience is a virtue and that the killing of millions of Iraqis has been vindicated by the “success” of the “surge”. On the inside everyone knows it was really a buy-out of the Sunni insurgents. Such skillful lying.

DL,
Barack Obama was 8 yrs old when Ayers was active.

Jexem,
The only constitutional requirement for a Vice President is to be able to be President. Same qualifications.

Wade,
Don’t forget who Ayer’s father worked for and how much money that company pours into Obama’s campaign. Commonwealth Edison or Exelon.

Obama, Wright, Rezko, Ayers, Michelle.
Fine examples of patriots !!!

Will,
Go home and get updated talking points.

NYT reporting Obama has money troubles. MSNBC reported the same thing. Hmmmm.

A window into the soul of Obama emerges in the company he keeps…
When Obama takes money from Ayers, that makes the association clear…
Anybody But Obama…

We’ve killed about 100,000 civilians in Iraq and with bombs going after Weapons of Mass Destruction that did not exist and destroying a country that had NO ties to 9/11. We’ve lost 4500 of our honored soldiers and some of you are worried about a college professor?

Bush is still an unrepentant International terrorist and criminal reprobate who should be making license plates in a federal penitentiary. ………………….
As for McSame, I think his association with GW. Bush dis-qualifies him for the office of POTUS. Good Day.

Don’t know how you get off calling Ayers an Obama “associate.” Read the dictionary.

Paige: Obama and Ayers became close with Ayers donating money to Obama’s campaign and Obama having dinners with him. I believe Obama as an attorney for Rezko became acquainted with Ayers. Obama should have used common sense in choosing friends like Rezko and Ayers along with attending a racist church with a racist pastor that didn’t preach the gospel only talked about this country and white people. But Obama was a racist before he belonged to that church disliking his mother’s race.

Jake, did you receive this tidbit from McCain’s oppo research squad? Just in time to deflect attention from what Gov. Palin has actually said and done regarding the Bridge to Nowhere, seeking federal pork as both a mayor and governor, claiming per diem for nights spent in her own house, and of course troopergate. well done

I don’t think violent resistance is NECESSARILY the answer?
The Declairation of Independence says “when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
So violence is an option but only NESSESSARY when disolving the government.
Having lived through those times I can say that youthful passions (and treats by the government that you are going to br drafted and sent to a war that you do not think is legal or a threat)have been replaced by more thoughtful and passive ideas by most of the protest leaders. Some that went underground grew to be main stream suburban middle class civic leaders.
This Ayers thing is really just a smear. All of the conservatives bow down to felon who beat the rap Oliver North who did much more harm than Ayers. They were both fanatics but Fox News still airs North regularly.

So lemme get this straight. Obama is against guns but wants to “blow up people” like Bill Ayers? Isn’t the contradictory?
BTW, Bill Ayers wasn’t a terrorist. Terrororist intend to kill their victims. They don’t give a pre-call in, as Ayers and the UG did. Regardless of whether his tactics were right or wrong (and they were wrong), that distraction has nothing to do with Barack Obama. He knows the guy from living in his neigborhood and spoke at a forum where Ayers also happened to be speaking. So what. Whatever his past, Ayers is now a respected member of Chicago known for his academic credentials.
Some right-wingers keep playing the fear card. Fine job that’s done to the country they proclaim to put first.

“He knows the guy from living in his neigborhood and spoke at a forum where Ayers also happened to be speaking. So what.”
B.S. take your propaganda elsewhere.

McCain’s acceptance speech:
“Fight for what’s right for our country.
Fight for the ideals and character of a free people.
Fight for our children’s future.
Fight for justice and opportunity for all.
Stand up to defend our country from its enemies.
Stand up for each other; for beautiful, blessed, bountiful America.
Stand up, stand up, stand up and fight. Nothing is inevitable here. We’re Americans, and we never give up. We never quit. We never hide from history. We make history. ”
There is a lot of call for fighting, isn’t this what Ayers is talking about? So McCain is as much a terrorist as Tim McVeigh, or Ayers then.

This person is allowed his views. Its still a free America, Thank you God. If you know someone, it doesn’t mean you agree with them. I know some Republicans and we couldn’t be further apart on what we want. I believe that people are inherantly good, they believe big business is best.

Texas Oulaw- Republicans don’t want to discuss issues. McCain’s campaign manager even stated this race is “not about the issues”. Many Neocons that post to the ABC site only know (to borrow from Biden) a noun, a verb, and Rezko, Ayers Wright.

Hope I’m not judged by all the people I’ve worked with, been associated with, or groups or boards I’ve been involved in. YIKES I’ve known people for years but not that much about their personal or past. Besides why doesn’t anyone mention the fact that Mayor Daley is the person who encouraged Obama to join this group. Why would the University of Chicago allow Ayers to be a professor there for most of his lifetime?

“I do think opposition and refusal is imperative.”

According to Ayers’ logic, those who oppose the Iraq War would be justified in bombing the Capitol, the Pentagon, and Police Stations. ‘Nuff said.

William Ayers is no better than the thugs who crashed planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 9/11. The only difference is that, unfortunately, the Islamic terrorists were competent. Also, it should be noted that some former Weather Underground members DID go on to kill innocent Americans via bombings and bank robberies.

Marrian p.
How many people died from Ayres bombings?
How many people died in the bombings in Iraq?

mm – the Declairation was not about voting, it was about violent revolution to separate from Great Briton. The document states all of the previous attempts at peaceful redress of issues but in the end the Declairation says that separation and forming a new government was the only solution. Since the revolution had already started Jefferson would have know it was a violent one.

Samantha…It is against our Constitution to invade a soverign nation that has not attacked us. While you would clearly like to tar and feather Mr. Ayers for free speech and civil disobedience, what do you think is fair punishment for someone who advocates going against our own rule of law and twisting intelligence to heighthen the justification for a war of choice and an invasion of a soverign nation that had not attacked his one. Pontification about Viet Nam should include the thousands of Vets who became Vets Against the War and Mothers Against the War who lost their children – Mr. Ayers is just one loud voice who while Senator Obama was just 8 years old at the time became a lightening rod for over-zealous “we’re right, you’re wrong” war supporters. There was nothing “civil” about Viet Nam and if you try and make a case against Ayers, then do the nation a favor and make the case against the present Administration that has at least 4,000 deaths to be accountable for.

“Sanity” man,
Ayers is just one piece of the Obama puzzle. Look at his America-hating pastor of 20 years. Or his buddy, convicted felon Tony Rezko. Or, the guy who helped him get into Harvard, Khalid Al-Monsour. Even his wife seems to have disdain for her own country.

Did someone think this cartoon was going to HELP OBAMA
probabaly. I mean whose supporters are more likely to be reading comic books?

He spelled the word “installation” wrong. His cartoon is nothing but a rationalization of what he did; Mass murders and other criminals do the same thing. What a loser.

With him in the Weather Underground was Bernardine Dohrn, who was put on the F.B.I.’s 10 Most Wanted List. J. Edgar Hoover called her ”the most dangerous woman in America” and ”la Pasionara of the Lunatic Left.” Mr. Ayers and Ms. Dohrn later married
I think Hoover was jealous because he wanted the title of “most dangerous woman in America”

Texas Outlaw: Iraq is a war bombing in the United States by a radical is not. If you don’t like the idea’s of the president and the government then march against it don’t set off bombs. Ayers should have been sentenced to life and I blame the courts for not doing it.

The connection between Ayers and Rev. Wright, and the similarities between some of their statements, combined with their connection to Obama is downright frightening. Don’t forget, Obama launched his political career from Ayers’ house – they are buddies and Obama has never said a word against Ayers.

This Ayers – Weather Underground association to Barack Obama is ridiculous!! Obama was probably riding a tricycle when this ALL occurred over 40 years ago. Ayers was a member. He was tried and found innocent. Ayers father was rich and saw what US government was doing. Ayers total comments made were all taken out of context on what he presently supports or feels. Today he is repected College Professer. I have researched extensively. Look at US history. There were anti-Vitetnam War protestors all over nation then. US government way to deal with these protestors, was declaring many communists. As we all now see and know this was age of “McCarthism”. Everyone was communist if they opposed. Labeled such by FBI. President Clinton pardoned two Weather Underground before he left office. He was well aware of this part of US administration and history.
AYERS AND “OBAMA TERRORIST ACCUSATION” IS LEGALLY NOT TRUE!!! PERIOD!! HAVE FOUND IT TO BE A SCARE TACTIC BY HILARY CLINTON AND NOW JOHN MCCAIN AND SARH PALIN!! THIS IS SO OLD!!
WHAT AOBUT JOHN MCCAIN AND HIS ANGER MANAGEMENT CLASSES. HE IS ONE OF KEATING FIVE SENATORS INVESTOR SCANDAL WHO JUMPED SHIP TO TESTIFY AGAINST HIS FELLOW SENATORS SO NOT INDICTED AND GOT OFF – USED POOR JUDGEMENT. FIGHT WITH FELOW SENATORS WELL DOCUMNTED. WAS DOCUMENTED WOMANIZER WHO COMMITTD ADULTRY EVEN AFTER HE MARRIED CINDY MCCAIN. JOHN MCCAIN – FOUND HE LIES ALL THE TIME DURING THIS CAMPAIGN. HIS REPUBLICAN MOTTO – TELL LIE LONG ENOUGH SO PEOPLE BELIEVE!!!
WHAT REPUBLICANS ARE SAYING – US VOTERS ARE STUPID . WE WILL NOT INVESTIGATE TO GET TRUTH!!
PALIN – ASK HER ABOUT HER HUSBAND WHO BELONGED TO ALASKA INDENPENDENCE PARTY 1994-2002. “AGAINST USA – DAMN AMERICAN FLAG” – WANTS ALASKA TO BE INDEPENDENT OF USA. NOT A STATE – CONSIDERED A RADICAL GROUP – THIRD PARTY. ASK HER ABOUT HER RELIGION – AGAINST JEWS. HER RELIGION WANTS TO CONVERT GAYS/LESBIANS(I AM NEITHER-I AM HERTEOSEXUAL- MARRIED- CHILDREN-GRANDCHILDREN).
THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!
AYERS IS STUPID!! NOT EVEN WORTH NEWS REPORTING!
AMERICA IS A DISASTER!!! I DON’T NEED FOUR MORE YEARS OF REPUBLICANS. THIS IS SAD AS I AM REGISTERED REPUBLICAN.

Civil disobediance during the Viet Nam era was so wide spread in this nation that to focus on this one man gives the whole history of our nation an injustice. Ohio students gunned down, mothers of dead soldiers who became opposed to the war dragged into buses and held overnight in jails. Batons crashing on skulls, body bags lined up on tarmacs, B52s painted black into the night sky making craters in the landscape below unknown of living life or not. I appreciate Mr. McCain’s service during this time, but I also see Mr. Ayers views also – had this nation succumbed to the military industrial complex mentality, well – that black, marble wall along the banks on the mall containing the names of the dead would quite possible stretch to the Florida coastline. I am a very firm believer that opposition and in the case of civil disobedience and violent opposition during the Viet Nam era brought that war to an end – to an end over there, but never an end here at home . . . Iraq is an example.

Linda in Carolina,
Yes, many have looked into the Keating 5. Have you? If so, could you tell us what it was about? Probably the most interesting fact you’ll learn about it is that the other 4 senators were all democrats: Alan Cranston D-CA, Dennis DeConcini-AZ, John Glenn D-OH, Donald W.Riegle D-MI.

Wow, Obama is friends with terrorists. Disgusting.

More and more Obama gets uncovered with his criminal and terrorist friends and he just dismisses it as though it means nothing. Obama should not get more than 25% of the vote because we know he will get 20% from the racists and 5% from the zealots. A sane person would not consider Obama for our President.

For the left, the only appropriate violence is that which is used against its own citizens and own government.

Paige – no one is saying that Obama had any connection with the bombing, the question is about Obama’s judgment. Obama befriended this man whose actions were highly publicized. He used Ayers and Wright to launch his political career. Obama launched his campaign from Ayers’ home – he has admitted a friend with him. And although Obama has denounced Ayers’ past crimes, he has not denounced any of Ayers’ views and he hasn’t thrown Ayers under the bus the way he did Rev. Wright. Combine that with the errily similar statements … such as the “US of KKK A” that both Ayers and Wright have made and you begin to form serious questions about Obama and his judgment. Why did he choose to associate with these men? The answer is simple, Obama thrived in the corrupt world of Chicago politics because he lacks the judgment to know right from wrong.

Sanity Man,
If Ayers or his cronies-or any right wing radical for that matter-would have happened to hurt one of my loved ones in a bombing, even if unintentional, there is no “rebuilding the truth,” as you say. They’ll have to pay. You are way out of the mainstream on this one.

Look, those of you in the tank for Obama will justify or minimize every sleazy association he has. Those of us who do not trust Obama will be reminded by this cartoon of Obama’s radical associations. They served together on a board and gave speeches together. Obama knew that this guy is a terrorist so I guess it did not matter to him. The issue is that we still don’t know what’s in his mind or heart. I’ll take the guy I am not crazy about but DO know over the guy I am not crazy about and DON’T know.

Your reply answered you point. Your attempt was to smear McCain by lumping him in with criminal senators not knowing they were all democrats. Dig further into the Keating 5. Yopu’ll find that McCain’s involvement so minimal and non-relevant, it is a joke.

Sharonklim – you need to check your facts. Ayers was found quilty and did time for the bombing. His guilt or innocence is not the question (especially since he flat out admits he bombed the Pentagon). The question is why does Obama have this tendency to befriend radicals like Ayers, Wright, Khalid, etc. He has so many shady associations that you have to begin to question his judgment.

If this were McCain or Palin wouldn’t Ayers, Rezko, Wright, Phleger, Auchi, Said, Daley (et al), Million Man March, Bittergate, Born Alive Protection vote, Michelles Americans are “sloths and complacient” and America is “downright mean” etc would be HUGE campaign ending issues, but for the Obama robots, all this stuff is just a “distraction”. Love the hypocrisy.

Are you going to trash Gov. Sanford, Republican governor of South Carolina, because he served on a board with Ayers too?
This is the most ridiculous red herring ever. “He had a cocktail at his house once” = “they are associated”
Slam his politics, slam his tax policy fine, but this is pure and utter crap.

Marianne…..You don’t care about the issues? Great…..why are you in this forum then? Just to smear Obama. I’m sure the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan will be pleased to hear that you could care less what happens to them. Maybe when another 4,000 are killed before McCain declares victory you might care. The thousands of workers who have lost their jobs and homes can count on your sympathy after all it’s their own fault.NOT

Reverend Wright is back in the news. Last Saturday he said the following at a dinner: “Just imagine, as soon as Barack Obama becomes president, it will be the first time in American hitory that a black woman can sleep with the president in the White House legally.” This was Barack Obama’s pastor for 20 years. Whay has the media not reported this one? I guess they are too busy defaming Palin with blatant lies.

We are talking about this because Ayers was Obama’s protege. Now Obama is a candidate for President. Why in the inside of my head is there voice saying “ARE YOU KIDDING ME ABOUT HIS BEING A CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENT”? The flags have been waving all along, so why are we smiling and cheering?

MM: I was aware that 4 of the Keating 5 were Dems…it doesn’t change the fact McCain was involved. $112,000 campaign contribution from Keating, Cindy and her father $359,000 investment to a Keating shopping center.9 expense paid trips on Keatings private plane.

His Quote from Septembner 11, 2001(Ironically), does not jive with his 4 panel nonsense that Jake Tapper quotes in this Story: ”I don’t regret setting bombs,” Bill Ayers said. ”I feel we didn’t do enough.”. Clearly, when taken in Context, william Ayers believes the and his Domestic terrorist friends did not do enough physical damage to our Country, including killing 2 people while making one of their bombs. And this is One of Barack Obama’s Associates!!!!

McCain does have a connection to someone about as bad as Ayers, and the media says nothing about it. He’s G. Gordon Liddy, and McCain’s been on his show plenty of times and is very friendly with him. Liddy is the guy who said to take shots at the heads of federal agents if you want to kill them, never mind his Watergate connection. Why isn’t McCain asked to repudiate Liddy?

I find it very intersting that Ayers is using this analogy. It is a direct reflection of what is going on in Iraq, and don’t any of you be fooled. He is saying without saying, that we ALL need to do more to get our hapless and one track minded government to end this illegal, and immoral war we created.
He isn’t bashing anyone except himself and us as an American people for being lazy and afraid to stand up against the leadership of the country, no matter how wrong we know it is.
I fear that many who don’t know factual history, either from not “being there” or from not doing their homework will try to scoop Bill Ayers into the “terrorist” slot. He and the “weather undergound” were actually
civil disobedients, and even tho’ jail time could have been appropriate during the time, it most certainly doesn’t put him in the same arena as some of the Bushs and Cheneys closest friends…. the Bin Ladens. LET US NOT FORGET THAT WITHIN A FEW SHORT HOURS AFTER THE ATTACKS OF 9/11, GEROGE BUSH MADE CERTAIN THAT THE FAMILY OF THE BIN LADENS (COUSINS TO OSAMA) WERE ON THERE OWN PRIVATE JET AND ON THEIR WAY OUT OF THE COUNTRY WITH NO QUESTONS ASKED. It is on FAA record, and public record.
Bush has such deep oil ties personally that is HIGHLY hypocritical to tie a casual acquaintance with someone who has fallen into the dust closet of American culture from 40 yers ago, to a continuing relationship that is in direct conflict with the interests of
the majority of Americans.

Why is Ayers injecting himself into the campaign??
Because Obama thinks he’s the best thing since sliced bread.
Dems for McCain

Flush it out now. I doubt if this story will go away before the election though.

That guy did more to continue the war in Vietnam and get Republicans elected than anyone in the ‘peace movement’.
He brought us Nixon with their stupid chaos tricks at the Chicago convention, which also brought us Rummy AND Cheney.
They destroyed the thought that peaceful protests would work. When it had just been proven to be the MOST effectvie tool against a country with a large military with both MLK and Ghandi.
The people that came together for civil rights and the parents who sent their children to war didn’t want to be associated with people who would praise Manson and declare ‘kill rich people’ or ‘kill your parents’ and then set about bombing the govt.
Ayers still talks the same way he always has. Both Ayers and Dohrn lie about their most vile statements saying they don’t remember them or it was a joke. Cowards!
They ran on tv all the time! Remember this was a time where there were only THREE news channels to get news from. Which occured on the local level and the national level. Do you really think this arrogant man and his wife missed one moment of themselves on tv.
He has stated that he would bomb again. So this bs that “we” didn’t do enough is the collective we as a society. Completely ignores his other statements and the fact that their lame Weatherman group is what blew the damn peace movement apart!
When people blame Altamont as the death of the 60s. They ignore the intentional chaos they created and the hatred they spewed at every opportunity.
Who in their right mind thinks they can out bomb the US military!? It isn’t even based in reality.
All that lame jerk did was give govt buildings a needed remodeling. They were all old even then.
They increased their budget for security and remodeling during a time of war. When govt budgets are generally cut.
And they never had to justify those increases in the next budget because Ayers and Dohrn were still blowing up buildings.
The Holy Grail for all govt agencies an unlimited checkbook and justification for all of their actions.
Geez….did he start getting requests from the govt on which buildings to bomb!?
This guy is a legend in his own mind! Who helped to bring us Rummy and Cheney. Geez…..Bush 41 was even tied to Nixon.
To Ayers…Look in the mirror you tool! You helped to bring us the clowns who got us into this mess today! Which make Obama suspect to say the least since you two have such a long history together despite those debate lies of his.
While you say down with capitalism….you reveal your hypocrisy with next breath stating ‘buy my book’.
When you attack the govt, you surely want people to forget your wages and stock options are supported by that same govt. More hypocrisy with your legacy govt job and connections to nuclear power or law firms. Oh and why did Obama help your Exelon leak nuclear poison to the public but we aren’t allowed to know despite subsidizing it?
More hypocrisy from you! You aren’t out for the people in this country or any country. You are out for yourselves.

Let me get this straight:
a) Obama is a revolutionary
b) the corporate media supports him;
so…
c) Disney (ABC) is really an anti-capitalistic company gunning for communist revolution.
Right? I mean, if someone came up to you on the street and said that you would laugh at them.
But most of the posts on this site suggest this by inference.
There’s no point in discussing politics with someone who thinks that the corporate media is plotting Marxist revolution.

It’s important to note that Obama’s campaigm is actively seeking to quash this issue as they know it will hurt his chances in November. They have tried, but failed to stop the ads TV stations are running that are informing American Voters about Obama’s Association with this unapologetic Terrorist. Why would you want someone who hangs with a Terrorist as a President? My Family is not Voting for Him!

Pamela: I forgot all about that happening after 9/11. Thank you for reminding us. Another thing Bush can be proud of.

Got to go…enjoyed it. Keep hitting em hard Dems.

Yes, Obama did hang with Terrorists. And I’m waiting to see that Video of Michelle were she is Ranting against America and the people who Live here! The Obama’s are not nice people!!

Susan,
Please have the decency to educate yourself of the facts – Ayers was not just some passing acquaintance of Obama’s. As I said before – they nurtured a decades long personal and professional relationship with each other – they sat on at least 2 boards together – Obama launched his political career in Ayers home. The two have shared a stage numerous times. The disgusting truth is Susan – Obama would proudly stand on a stage with a man who would proudly stand on the American flag. Look it up.

As a new American, I do not want Terrorist friendly President, I want man who will keep me safe. Obama not that man as he has terrorist friends. Obama a Bad man.

OMG – let’s see, the republicans are up to their eyeballs in current corruption – let’s remember Tom Delay and Jack Abramoff for starters – and they want to talk about somebody who protested the VIETNAM war?
Tom Delay was present at the republican convention – does that mean they are promoting his behaviors – I think they are…

“Let the media investigate the connections between Ayers and Obama.”
Hasn’t happened so far. Fox is the only news organization that has brought this to light.

This has ZERO to do with Obama. Obama was an 8 year old child, during the Vietnam war.

Now the terrorist friend of Obama wants to revise history… The quote in the New York Times, published on Sept. 11, 2001, was: ”I don’t regret setting bombs,” Bill Ayers said. ”I feel we didn’t do enough.”

Seems that the first couple of Vice Presidents were the runners up of the Presidential race. And wouldn’t that chnage life? It would probably open up to more parties. But even if it didn’t, could you imagine the Republicans having to run two candidates? How would that work. Or, they concede to run only one a piece, meaning that they have to work with someone from another party. Maybe then things would get done? Who knows since the media won’t address real issues like that. Focusing instead on someone who impacted very few. And I am not disminishing the lives of the people who this freak Ayers ruined.

Ayers the unrepentant terrorist has been a close associate of Barack Obama, and Obama has never explained why he associate with someone like that. Obama needs to answer for this.

Another quote from the New York Times article in which Obama’s terrorist friend, Bill Ayers, is asked about his domestic bombing campaign:
- So, would Mr. Ayers do it all again, he is asked? ”I don’t want to discount the possibility,” he said.

Voters will have to decide if they want a lunatic potus who think that the US can stamp out evil all over the world or a sensible president who has the intelligence and will not to be swayed by every person that they associate with.

Part of the financial mess today is because congress, in their infinite PC wisdom told banks that they had to make xx% of their loans to minorities. Hey, banks, if you loan $XXX to whites and upper income folks then a percentage of your loan portfolio must also include certain other groups. Their backs were against a wall. Never mind that in some places, those very minorities were low or no income people in poverty for whatever reason and unable to pay said loans back, no matter how much they wanted to.
Yes, part of the blame is the government themselves – congress, and isn’t congress NOW controlled by a certain party now, sitting at what approval rating and having accomplished what? Could they not have reversed this before it happened??
Now they must bail out Americans who can’t afford their mortgage – the very mortgages that (in SOME cases) were thrust into their hands because of a LAW passed by congress.
Presidents don’t make laws, congress does. Presidents can’t change the constitution – congress does, but ONLY with the APPROVAL of the states.
(lest we forget our high-school government classes)

Barack Obama Served on 2 boards with this unrepentent Terrorist. That is inexcesable for someone running for President. It’s worse than Joe Biden’s repeated plagiarism in Collega and again during his ’88 Presidential Campaign which he had to eventually withdraw from because of it.

That man help to destroy the thought that continued peaceful protest works as in the case with civil rights.
By making it vile to protest on the side of domestic terrorists which help the Vietnam war continue.
Do you see on-going, long term protests about the war in Iraq? Nope…thank Ayers.

I get it,….Ayers is coming out now so Obama can denounce him just like Rev.Wright did when he went in front of the press….slick…

Is any of Obama’s associates crediable???
Obama had fundraisers at Ayers home in Chicago, goes to show Obama will hang with anyone to promote his own political career. Pathetic.

Palin bills state for nights at home and kids’ travel.
Sarah Palin billed taxpayers for 312 nights spent in her own home during her first 19 months in office, charging a “per diem” allowance intended to cover meals and incidental expenses while traveling on state business.

And why did he want to give Farakahn an Award What was that all about? Was that a Rev. Wright thing? Or was William Ayers, the Terrorist, involved inthat also.

Why doesn’t mccain come clean and say how many more wars he wants to sink us in?

He’s “…an English professor…” who spelled the word “installations” in the comic as “instillations.” This guy is a very silly person and should not be taken seriously, like Obama.

Will – she also put the state budget and spending reports online for all the taxpayers to see.

Janice,
You’re talking about the tape in which Michelle Obama goes crazy on the pulpit of Wright’s church. She assails whites, Asians and Hispanics. It’s out there. So too is her thesis. These people are not what they seem.

So, I guess Obama has the Domestic Terrorist vote all sewn up. Well, that’s one demographic I guess.

Ayers must be sick of Obama’s hypocrisy to do this stuff

linda in carolina,
Your posts have been among the most divisive and one-sided of all. You’re to talk? Show me a qualified democrat: One who is kind to small business owners, one who does not demonzie producers or corporations and one who won’t raise taxes, and I’ll be the first to vote for him ro her.

To y.sister,
Ayers was the person who got Obama started on his political career. Given the fact that Ayers hates the American system so deeply, one has to wonder what it was about Obama that made someone like Ayers not only want to support him, but to launch his political career. Obviously, there is something that he likes, something that he expects to get out of this relationship.
In addition, it was Ayers wife, Bernadine Dohrn, who issued the Weatherman’s Declaration of War against the United States. The reasons for concern about Obama’s relationship with the Ayers’ family increase.
As citizens of this country, we all have the right to learn what this is all about. Ayers is indeed a very controversial person, and Democrats as well as Republicans not only have the right to be concerned, but the obligation to ensure that Obama hasn’t “sold his soul to the Devil” (oops, I’m not mixing Church and State now, am I?) before he actually gets to the White House.
Given the fact that Obama has “misrepresneted” his relationships (i.e., he lied) with Wright, Rezko, and even Ayers, we have reason to be afraid.
And true, Clinton did not pardon Ayers (because Ayers was never convicted), but he DID pardon two other Weather Underground members. I guess Bill just likes terrorists (at least, anti-American terrorists), like the 16 FALN members he pardoned as well.
THAT’s why we are talking about this.

Here come the water-muddiers on the WaPo story.
Charging yourself travel expenses when you stay at home is a scam, Hello!
The article is fair. It presents all the evidence and contrasts her use of public funds with previous and other governors. Stop whining.

What did this topic have to do with obama and why did bill clinton send ayers free from jail

Reading the responses are great. The only way the Obama supporters can respond is to change the subject. Jake hit it out of the park on this one and we the people now know more about Obama than we did before. Good job, Tapper.

In the first six months of 2008, 205 American soldiers and over 6,000 Iraqi civilians were reported killed in Iraq. Only, you wouldn’t know that from watching the three major newscasts which devoted a total of only 181 weekday minutes to covering the Iraq War.
We’re not doing enough to end this war!

If Bill ayers and his wife are terrorist why did the clintons let them free?

I really hope people are smart enough to vote the issues and not some tenuous relationship with an old left-wing radical (both served on the same foundation board)
But, I do not not have much hope that some people can assess facts and evidence and not distrort, smear and trot out the tired old attacks. Whats the saying about getting the government we deserve?

No way, no how, NO OBAMA. This just makes me sick. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!

Does it really matter at this point. America has seen Obama for what he truly is… an opportunist.
Obama has made friends with whomever would promote his carrier. He did nothing to promote change while in the senate. Now he uses other peoples words to gain the publics interest.
If you want real change look toward Palin/McCain.

Oh thank you for the clarification, Mr. Ayers. I just knew all along that you had a good heart, and a good reason for your attempts at blowing-up our Capitol. AND, I didn’t know that you called in the hits ahead of time – That WAS considerate of you. After reading this what-ever-it-is that Mr. Tapper has presented to us, I certainly feel a lot better now about supporting your friend and mine, Barak Obama, for President.
It’s always nice to hear from a friend of the Public, even if you are a cartoon. Say HI to Bernadine for us.

“If Ayers and Rev Wright are representative of Barry O’s firends” – You left out Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. I’m no conspiracy theorist. Just looking at the company Mr. Obama keeps tells a scary story.

y.sister wrote: “Don’t forget that Obama was a very young person (around 4-8 yrs. old) when Ayer was involved. So tell me, why are we talking about this anyway???”
Answer: Because he’s an associate (some say friend) of Obama’s, that’s why. A friend who won’t apologize or admit he was wrong in committing terrorist acts, yet Obama still chose to associate with him.
The issue much more relevent than Sarah Palin’s husband’s DUI from 1986, which the liberal press has also reported on. Yet they won’t investigate Obama’s admitted drug use from the same time period. They just take him at his word that he never dealt drugs. That Sarah Palin, oh, she needs to be INVESTIGATED.
Yes, Bill… please keep talking. :D

Not only has Obama had associations with terrorists and criminals, his racist Rev, Jerimiah Wright, his mentor, whom he loves as an Uncle, has now been found to have an affair with Elizabeth Payne, a white 37 yr old woman. Her husband divorced her over the affair and Payne has released e-mails from Wright telling her he was divorcing his wife of 20 yrs Ramah, whom he met when he was supposed to be giving her and her first husband marriage counseling.
This is the type of people that Obama associates with, what does that say about his judgement?
Typically, a politician would not chose to associate with people who have a questionable past or who are not on par with their beliefs.

One, who cares about Bill Ayers?
Two, when did the American press suddenly become pacifist? The American press, and American politicians in general, not to mention the US government, have consistently cheered on violent resistance groups when they fit with out “national interests.” UNITA, anybody? Anti-Regime Iranian groups that have been listed by the UN and Interpol as terrorist organizations yet received both covert CIA aid and overt State Dept. support?
Sometimes violent resistance is the answer – Ayers’ mistake is not that he didn’t issue a blanket denunciation of violent resistance to tyranny, but that he profoundly misjudged the tactical issues. The US was a democracy. There were other avenues that did not necessitate armed action. His and the WO’s bombings were counter-productive.
Some times violent resistance is justified – just ask St. Augustine.
And when, Jake, will you do an article on Palin’s ties to the AIP, which has similarly condoned violent resistance to US “imperialism”?
I won’t hold my breath.

Please tell me the FBI is watching this guy. Once a terrorist…

I think the stretch that is being used her between Ayers and Hitler, and Mcveigh, are not only uot of bounds, but out of desperation.
One doesn’t have a thing to do wit the other on all counts.
HItler wanted to eliminate an entire race and society of people.
Mcveigh wanted to attack a system of govenrment personally and intentionally harm and kill, and had no political message other than hatred.
Ayers , once again…. though they (not he, they,) did bomb out buildings , they intentionally emptied them out before hand. The message here was politically motivated and directed not at families and persons, but at a system of Dictatorship and military rule that hundreds of thousands from every age race and creed were also protesting against.
If the association of Barack O’bama is too close too comfort for your ideals, than you should have a really hard time sleeping knowing how close the Bushes are to the Bin Laden family.
and still, is this the SAME G. Gordon Liddy (prev. mentioned) who has eh ear necklace???

The Vietnam war was illegal and morally WRONG!!!! I opposed that war and the current war also!!!

Ayers is not the “go to” person on the legality of the Vietnam War, he is just one of many “Haters” of the political system devoid of any objective reasoning (i.e.: Jane Fonda). His actions with the Weather Undergound should of landed him in jail for decades – but there was also lienient Judges back then that were forgiving to traitors and people that lacked National Pride, much like today.
Many companies believe that befriending Socialist or Communist political parties they are immune from the financial fallout when countries changed politically (i.e.: Cuba, Venesuela). This goes to show everyone CEO’s and Board Members that run huge corporations are not any smarter than the rest of us. The general population may feel the first affect of “Change”, but eventually it will felt by these corporations too.

Who are Obama’s friends? Bill Ayers, radical bomber. Rev. Wright, hysterical racist. Various Chicago political machine operatives.
A man is know by the company he keeps. We know enough about Obama. And we don’t like what we see.

Why debate the past? Bill Ayers, so what? Iraq War is no longer an issue. The issue is experience – Barack Hussein Obama DOES NOT have any experience. He cannot tell us what legislative accomplishments he had had in the just over two years in the Senate. He does not have the experience, the background, or the Executive experience to be President.

The Issue is why did Obama become a memmber of 2 boards with a domestic Terrosit who engaged in such harmful acts against America. The Timing and Age of Barack when William Ayers bombed the Pentagon and had 2 of his collegues killed is immaterial. It goes to Obama’s reasoning as to WHY he would become a board member with an unrepentant Domestic Terrorist. It goes to Character, and Character counts!

William Ayers clumsily shifts from a broad context: “We didn’t do enough…we means everyone”, to a narrow personal view “I don’t think violent resistance is necessarily the answer.” Ayers seems to be the eternal child dressing his “apology” as a cartoon and trying to appear “Doonesbury-esque”. His excuses sound as drug-addled and vacuous today as they did when he was committing terrorism on a more innocent, forgiving nation. No conservative pundit could ever add to his unsavory life story. I hope he just fades away after his second fifteen minutes passes.

It’s not just the crime, it is the cover up. If there was nothing wrong with Ayers, then WHY did Obama hide his relationship with him, and flat out LIE? “just someone in my neighborhood”. Why has he not talked about the Annenberg challenge? why did the bar release of those records?
The cover up is far more an admission of guilt than anything, and we have yet to find the truth. I wish the media, and Jake, would spend as much time in this important investigation instead of wasting time talking about silly things like Palin’s sale of the airplane.
Oh, and Ayers stomped on the American flag. Repulsive, but part of Obama’s clan.

“Get over yourselves, your messiah is done.”
Something about glass houses and whatnot…

Realistic: I think ayers is trying to find a way to get more Americans to stand up and go to their windows and say I’m mad as H,,, and I’m not going to take it anymore!
But, too many Americans are afraid .
bush has everything we are hardwired into being watched, and let us not forget the men in black who can and do jsut show up at your work, or bank, or doorstep, and start questioning your patrotism and find ways that you’ve broken the law, which you don’t even know exist. Before you or any one of us knows, we have a comfy seat in a North Dakota jail cell, under a Homeland Security / Big Brother law.
Ayers is trying to inspire Americans to have some back bone and not take the bull that has bee spoon shoved down our throats for the past 8 yrs.
True, he may not be the ideal, (mildly put) but he is a “child of the 60′s” if you will.
When most of the people on this site today were sitting on their mamas laps he ws out spray painting anti-govmnt. slogans and rall;ying up people to try to end an evil battle on foreign soil.
He is NOT an American heroe, (far from it) but he is NOT any G.Gordon Liddy.
And still need my answer….

UUHHH…. Billy Bob, the anchors didn’t get fired. Get your facts straight.
oops, sorry , you’re GOP. Too late.
The anchors were replaced for election day coverage because they got into heated arguments with other commentators, and began expressing their own opinons, which is against co. policy. They are very much still gainfully employed.

This proves that Obama is nothing more than a puppet. A surrogate for the Leftoid Freakazoid leftovers from the 60s wacko-job movement.
Obama associated with Ayers. Then elected by Democrats.
Actually, this says a lot more about the Democrat voters….

Also I have one simple question, a question you should answer truthfully. Are you better off now than you were eight years ago? Are you better finacially? Do you agree with the gas sucking cars at four bucks a gallon? Are we better – and this is not just time moving forward, there could have been things done to prevent it.

William Ayers Seeks To Justify His Group’s Bombings of the Pentagon

In a Not-Remotely-Comic Strip, Bill Ayers Weighs In on What He Meant By ‘We Didn’t Do Enough’ to End Vietnam War from Jake Tapper’s Political Punch features a smarmy justification for the Weather Underground’s bombings of the Pentagon and Capitol

pamela, they were fired from the anchor position. The message was the same regardless of the details. Tom Brokaw was tired of seeing his ratings drop because of MSNBC’s biased coverage of the elections.

dadanarchist, corporate types often hobnob with the radical left. There are lots of reasons.
1)They themselves are 60s counterculture veterans (Steve Jobs) who believe in this nonsense.
2)They are blackmailed and mau-mau’ed into doing so via shakedown tactics refined by Jackson and Sharpton. Hand over investor and customer cash to those who loathe and hate you to buy temporary restraint from demonstrations, “discrimination” lawsuits, and all the rest of the clown show taken seriously by the left media.
3)They or their wives seek to socially climb in a cultural atmosphere where radical chic rules, and nothing is more praiseworthy than ostentatious displays of fawning generosity to those of other backgrounds (see Cindy McCain, Princess Diana, etc.)
4) They have absorbed the narrative that being middle-class, white, and successful in business is something to be ashamed of, and seek to exorcise their guilt. The left loves to do away with guilt when it comes to things like aborting babies, dumping spouses, engaging in bizarrely unnatural behavior, etc., but exploits guilt the fullest when it comes to milking those who actually carry the burden of making our First World economy really function.

“Many other perfectly normal people associate with him too, or should we condemn the entire staff of the University of Chicago as terrorists by association?”
Yes, this is an excellent point. Why is there not any angry mob outside of University of Chicago Law School professor and prominent conservative legal scholar Richard Posner’s house right now demanding him to denounce his association with both Obama and Ayers.

Just because Obama was a kid when Ayers was Bombing American Buildings such as the Pentagon, and having 2 of his fellow Weather Underground Terrorists blown up while making a Bomb, that does not insulate Obama from his ties to the STILL unrepentant terrorist! And it is a reason we will not vote for him!!

Maurizio: There are a lot of people who have made bundles of money on capitalism and then decide to give to others or support that notion. Just look at Oprah, she made a fortune off of women and their plight, but when it came time to support a black man or a woman, she went to the black man. Now even if all those woman quit watching her program, she’s already made all the money she could want. Also, don’t you think for one minute that Obama isn’t looking forward to making tons of money. He is enjoying the fruits of capitalism while at the same time trying to make points on class warfare.

Must we fight the Vietnam war and the anti-war movement of the 1960′s-’70′s all over again in the press, just to try to smear Obama? Or do the McCain supporters actually think we should go back to Vietnam and WIN the war with bombs and missles??? That “almost” seems to be the attitude some of them portray! Either learn the lessons of Vietnam, or else just leave it out of the debate altogether!

I am concerned that my vote would go to a person who sat on a board created by a man who was a Domestic Terrorist. I am second guessing my Vote.

Fact: Obama was Chairman of the Board
and Bill Ayers was the Co-Chair. Bill
Ayers put Obama as Chair, the Chicago
Annenberg Challengefor almost 8 years.

Ayers plotted to plant a nail bomb at Fort Dix, New Jersey during a dance attended by soldiers and their wives/girlfriends. Ayers was planning to kill people, he just didn’t manage to pull it off. Now he wants to pretend he was non-violent? His colleagues were killed while manufacturing anti-personel explosives, for God’s sake.

Obama was tipped off by President
White, University of Illinois as
to what records they would keep
confidential. They’re all in bed
together. Imagine if Obama has such
power when he isn’t even the POTUS,
what’s going to happen if he does
become POTUS?

Isn’t it consistent that all most Obama supporters can do is name-calling! No facts. Just hateful little parrots delivering lines directly from the Koolaid Newsletter.
For the truly brave truth-seekers, here’s a great reading list. You’ll have to DO IT YOURSELF and not let anybody else do your thinking for you.
Google “Obama Ayers”
Google “Obama Bernadine”
Google “Obama Frank Davis”
Google “Obama Khalid al-Mansour”
Google “Obama Saul Alinski”
Google “Obama Wright”
Google “Obama Malcolm X”
Google “Obama Donald Warden”
Google “Obama Percy Sutton”
Google “Obama Alwaleed bin Talal”
Google “From each according to his means, to each according to his needs”

Remember when Obama tried to explain away Wright’s anti-Zionist statements as being rooted in his anger over the Jewish state’s support for South Africa under its previous policy of apartheid. As with his claim that the award to Farrakhan was made because of his work with ex-offenders, Obama made that up out of thin air. Wright’s statements denouncing Israel have not been qualified in any way. Ayers terrorist activities, and Obamas ties to him later in life, are clearly detailed.

Ayers: “But warnings were always called in, and by design no one was ever hurt.”
Then why was the bomb that killed your girlfriend “designed” with roofing nails and dynamite? That’s a bomb meant TO KILL PEOPLE, not level a building!
As far as “no one was ever hurt”, try telling that to the family of Officers Brian V. McDonnell, Edward O’Grady, and Waverly Brown, and security guard Peter Paige.
Mr. Ayers, the fact that you still breath free is a shameful failure of the American justice system.

Don’t you love it when a “leftist” calls the right thinking people of America “idiots” and then goes on to simply hurl insults and inuendo? It certainly is one tactic in an attempt to change the subject from Obama’s friendship with the Terrorist William Ayers, but not a very affective one.

Let’s see, Ayers and Obama were in the “community organizer” business together for about 3-4 years wherein they “helped” local schools (no progress ever reported); “worked” to find and renovate residences for the poor (Retzko was loaned or given community organizer money to do just that) but the properties have been boarded up for a long time and never used…Retzko in jail today; Obama/Ayers as community organizers applied for and were given $50 million per year to do the stuff above which never got done and there is still $49 million unaccounted for. You do the math. You do the research. But, that is a useless request to people who are so blinded by ideology they cannot see, hear or feel!!! Ayers should have left this country and gone where he would be so much more appreciated. Instead he has worked diligently to offer programs that have brainwashed children for lo these many years.

Bill Ayers, Bill Ayers, Bill Ayers…..
Why? Why? Why? Why have you just given the likes of Sean Hannity the ammunition that he was just looking for?
Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and others are sooooooooo against senator Obama.
And I personally believe that the bitterness and vitriol spewing from the hearts and lips of Rush and Sean against Obama is rooted in racism…..
Back to Ayers:
You sending a message by bombing government buildings was nothing short of stupid and criminal.

The officer that was killed in San Francisco lived for 2 days with his injuries, Bernadine Dohrne, william ayers Girlfriend conducted that bombing although she was never tried for the murder. So She does not even need Barack to Pardon her like Clinton did with 2 other members of the Weather Underground on his last day as president, nice. huh?

Has anyone checked for Joe at the bar in Green Bay? I don’t blame him for wanting to stay there.

Peter: I feel you Peter. I am an African American woman and I will voting for McCain/Palin this November to protect against the DNC party. A vote for McCain/Palin is a protest vote against the DNC. I am sad too but it must be done. DNC must be taught a lesson for the future.

Which Candidate is actually under investigation as we speak? Anyone?

Quincy:
I am not sure why Biden and Hillary are holding back against Palin…….

My concern is that if we keep up with these policies (since McCain has agreed with Bush 95% of the time) our beloved country won’t be here in 2012. Our economy is in a freefall.

The entire Kennedy family came out in support of him, and I read recently that Nancy Reagan even said she supported him!

Independent08, My concern is if Obama gets elected and implements his:
– tax hikes on businesses and corporations, all the jobs will be gone.
– Global warming carbon credits will further cripple business nd not do a thing to stop climate change.
– Blocks oil drilling, new refineries, and new nuclear power plants, there won’t be enough energy to run our economy and we will be in even deeper debt to our enemies.
– Increases government spending by a TRILLION dollars will bankrupt the US and mire us in debt.
Obama’s economic policies will be a disaster for the US. Even Obama had to admit his tax hike would not be a good idea in a recession so even he knows that hiking taxes on businesses kills job growth.

Aesop’s Fables Kind of fits the Dem’s always running arround trying to scare people.
“The As’s in the Lion’s Skin
An as’s, having put on the Lion’s skin, roamed about in the forest and amused himself by frightening all the foolish animals he met in his wanderings. At last coming upon a Fox, he tried to frighten him also, but the Fox no sooner heard the sound of his voice than he exclaimed, “I might possibly have been frightened myself, if I had not heard your bray.”
Clothes may disguise a fool, but his words will give him away.”

Obama has denounced Reverand Wright as divisive and destructive and cut off all ties with him. It isn’t like he went on those crazy tangents every sermon. Most were frankly, banal. And Obama never actually attended the crazy ones… actually Obama probably doesn’t want to say this, but I get the feeling he wasn’t exactly going to church on a regular basis.
If you want to get into crazy pastors, you may want to look at McCain’s friend and spiritual guide, John Hagee who denounced Catholicism as a false cult, said Katrina was God’s punishment against New Orleans and they deserved it and that the Holocaust was brought upon the Jews because they “turned away from the true God”.
Then let’s go into Palin’s minister problems. Her church believes that we are on a holy war for God in Iraq (sounds an awful lot like radical islam), believes you can pray away homosexuality, believes Jesus was a militant warrior who called on people to die in wars, believes that Alaska will be a refuge state for the apocalypse and said, God “is gonna strike out his hand against… America”. Apparently Palin’s minister’s God hates America. Who knew?
Of course we can get into Biden’s priest. Luckily Catholic sermons are pretty boring standard fare that don’t go much past reading from the bible. Of course they have the whole little boy scandals (not that Biden’s priest does of course).
The fact is, religious leaders often hold some fringe views. The second they start pretend they know God’s will, they inevitably venture into territory that makes them look ridiculous.

shalom, So the only reason you are voting for Obama is because of his race? In Martin Luther King’s ” I have a dream speech Martin Luther King said: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Guess you don’t agree with Martin Luther King and use a color of Obama’s skin to judge his character?
Sorry, I do think Obama’s skin color is a good reason for voting for him. Obama’s radical associations with Ayers, Wright, Rezko, Pfleger, Khalidi and others, tells me a lot about Obama’s character and judgment. What it tells me is that Obama has very poor judgment and dubious character.

Actually billy bob, I am a small business owner (on my third company – sold the other two).
Yes, I find taxes to be problematic, but honestly, I pass on the cost mostly to the customer. Since my competition does the same thing, I have a level playing field.
I’m much more worried about education and trade than I am about taxes. I have a hard time hiring people. Our Universities are full of foreigners who, instead of staying in the US after college, are opting to go back to their country in larger numbers. Obama’s focus on getting every American a college education is extremely important to me because it means that I won’t have to spend 2 months trying to hire someone for a position.
As I said, trade is also terribly important. McCain wants to open up trade even more than it already is. I’m all for free trade, but only when it is fair. When other countries are providing massive subsidies to their industries so they can dump products in the US below cost, it is hard to maintain faith in a free market economy. The truth is our economy was built on protectionism. Now I’m not saying we should go back to taxing imports at 40% like we used to, but I think we should make sure America is on an equal playing field with the people we trade with.

Terry,
You raise some valid concerns.
My reason for leaning away from current policies (and McCain who voted for them 95% of the time) is that things have gotten progressively worse each year since Bush was elected. If we keep doing the same thing, it seems unlikely that would change. What’s the quote, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing in the same way and expecting different results.” (Ben Franklin)
I like the fact that Obama is actively working toward new sources of renewable energy. I live in a state that’s gotten a lot of new jobs in recent years by focusing on this. (Wind, solar, ethanol, etc.)
The more we can find safe ways to minimize our dependence on foreign oil the better!

shalom said: “And I personally believe that the bitterness and vitriol spewing from the hearts and lips of Rush and Sean against Obama is rooted in racism…..”
Do you have any evidence to back this up? Of course not. Maybe they don’t like him beause he’s a Democrat, genius!

kgj asked: “Which Candidate is actually under investigation as we speak? Anyone?”
The same candidate who has been very open about said investigation (probably, most likely, because she has nothing to hide).
Which poster on this blog takes the side of a drinking and driving while on duty policeman that threatened to kill his own father-in-law and tasered an 11 year old boy? Anyone?
How awful that you defend the indefensible, all because you have nothing legitimate to criticize Palin with. Shame on you.

I do not condone the bombs; however, I applaud anyone that stood up against the Vietnam war that killed almost 60,000 US military.
I have read articles about Ayers. He was very sincere in his belief that if a person did not take action against immoral action, the person was a worthless. They never intended to harm anyone. How many people will stand up for what is wrong while knowing the possible consequences of their actions.
Ayers is very highly regarded in the education world. Ayers and his wife have been outstanding citizens that have contributed greatly to the advancement of good in their work.

Response to Droob re: Palin & Global Warming
Attn: droob and all other disciples of global warming.
Global warming is a fact of nature that is not in dispute. The question is, “Is human activity affecting this natural phenomena?” Well let me pose a few questions since you are so certain you are right in your assumptions and Gov. Palin is ignorant.
What is the composition of our atmosphere and specifically what how much is composed of CO2? How much would it take to double it? (this one is easy if you know the answer to the first)
What component of the atmosphere is most responsible for the greenhouse affect? Give you a hint. It’s not CO2.
What is the MWP? Another hint: it was warmer then, than it is now and people were not driving SUV’s.
What are “feedbacks”? That’s a tough one.
What is the “process” by which mother earth warms and cools itself? Did you say convection? Darn you got one. Oh I thought you said…..never mind.
So let me guess you heard about global warming on MTV. Shocker!
I’ll bet the Gov could answer these questions. Now let us extrapolate and make a prediction , you are a liberal democrat! See how easy that is? I was able to ask you a few simple questions. Determine that you have no idea what you are talking about and accurately deduce that you are a democrat. Kid’s play!

Mary:
If Clarence Thomas were the GOP nominee for president against Hillary Clinton, I would vote for Clinton….
So, to suggest that I am voting for Obama merely because of his race is nothing short of silly…..
However, it looks to me that a lot of women are flocking to Palin because of her gender….Are you one of them?

ynot4tony2:
Obviously you do not listen to Sean and Rush……Those guys do not hide their radical and bitter views easily….

No need for childish insults.
It depends on the source whether it’s 90 or 95%. You’re going to quibble about 5%? Also the economy has been going down hill FAR longer than the democrats have been in congress, and I know that Bush was on vacation a lot, but he still has veto power and is a Republican. Obama might vote with his party, but that’s because he agrees with his party, the Democrats. The Republicans controlled the congress most of the Bush presidency.

America!!!
Are you ready to elect a man of color to be your president? You should stop trying to find reasons why you shouldn’t be ready…..
This will place America in a position of leadership around the world…..
America, you have a chance to make history here…..McCain knows that, and that is why I feel he place a woman on his ticket…..

Shalom, You cite Obama’s skin color as the only reason for voting for Obama. Well I am not a racist and will judge Obama by “the content of his character not the color of his skin” as Martin Luther King wanted all of us to do.
If Obama was of good character, had good judgment and did not want to implement policies that will destroy our economy and make us more vulnerable to another 9/11 attack, I would most certainly vote for him. Unfortunately, Obama will do all of the above so: NO OBAMA 08
McCain/Palin 2008.

Ayers and his cronies say they never killed anyone. Not True! His own members were killed making bombs and security guards will killed during an armed robbery of a Armored Car. And still Ayers and his wife walk the streets free and never showed any remorse for their actions.

@ttn Independent08
The Bush regime has been more fascist than Republican — and it is REALLY not fair to lay “torture” at McCain’s door, because he opposed the “Republican” president on torture.
McCain can be a little burbly about military matters, maybe — but sheesh! Obama and Biden pay homage to every bit of soldier-cult silliness themSELVES, not they know the first thing about being in the service.
Remember “hope” and “change”? We can HOPE McCain means it when he says he wants to bring a “swamp-draining” CHANGE to DC. We know Obama and Biden don’t mean it — or they’d have something to say besides whining about Sarah Palin, who has more political class that the two of them put together.

My vote for the most informed blogger today:
First, in case you think I’m a Democrat, I voted for Bush.
Unfortunately, Bush’s policies have actually weakened us as a country. He has overextended our military and focused them away from true terrorist strongholds. In addition, we have sent our National Guard to other countries instead of keeping them here to protect us from attacks on our soil and GUARD OUR NATION.
He has also alienated countries that had been our allies for half a century or more. International experts including those from his OWN party have said repeatedly that his unwillingness to cooperate with other nations endangers us. Since he has made enemies out of former friends, who will come to our aid if we’re attacked?
Also, authorizing torture is 1)WRONG 2)destroys our credibility around the world as a moral nation.
Experts on terror say that we’re actually more vulnerable now than we were in 2001 because our actions have actually encouraged more people (whose homes have been bombed and families have been killed/tortured) to become terrorists who hate America.
Still, McCain thinks we’re on the right track.

Thank you Shalom!

terry:
it seems that you merely soak up the “trash talk” of Sean Hannity…..
Go and read about him yourself…..bud…
and visit his website sometimes…..Before you leave it, you may just contribute after he impresses you…..

shalom, Based on that logic you should be voting for President Bush. President Bush has spent more on fighting Aids in Africa than any other President in history. As to cancer, Obama’s government run health care systems would destroy the private health care sector It is the private sector health care system, not government, that has made so much progress against cancer via new treatments that would not go forward if the government takes over and crushes innovation.
As to peace, Obama will not bring peace Obama will bring war. If Obama is elected our enemies will be emboldened as they know Obama is weak and will not stand up against them.

Media obesessed with bringing down Governor Sarah Palin for the 8th straight day. Media has absolutely snapped, they dont even try to hide it.Pathetic is not a strong enough description.
Meanwhile, you hear virtually nothing about the obviously unqualified empty suit, or the radical left racist, communist mentors and friends of Obama, or his shady earmarks, almost a billion including 1,000,000.00 for his wifes hospital, and 250,000,00 for Father Plfleger who preaches radical racial politics from the pulpit, as did Wright.
Where is the investigation into the 14,000,000.00 Rezko got from Obama after Rezkos generous campaign donations including over 200,000.
Barack Obama is running for president and with a resume as thin as tissue, and a whole closet full natioanal security related anti-american skeletons.
Do you job media. Sarah Palin is has far better credentials and character, yet you attack her.

“Where is the investigation into the 14,000,000.00 Rezko got from Obama after Rezkos generous campaign donations including over 200,000.”

Obama isn’t really a crony of Bill Ayers and he’s not really backed by friends of the Weather Underground. Not! It’s shameless that the libs and socialists dismiss everything negative about their so-called Messiah.

Gary, I agree with you, if Obama is prepared to declare defeat in Iraq when victory is in sight, what will he do when the chips are really down? I guess the answer to that question is pretty obvious. I just hope that the people in the US wake up and see how dangerous a person Obama would be to our security, including all you Obama supporters on this post.

you have to understand that mccain was a—d —average student—and without having a father who was a admiral-there is no way he could become a pilot–and the five planes he wrecked is proof of his inability——-am i wrong on this

why did the military want to try two or three of mccain pow buddies for treason–and called mccain a hero–they all did the same thing.

I don’t believe this guy, Ayers. And it is not helping me vote for his friend Obama.

“I blame the courts for his freedom when he should have been locked up.”
You can blame the courts all you want, but you would be wrong.
The fault lies with Nixon, J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI. In the 1960′s, the FBI was conducting illegal counter-”subversion” activities that included the murder of unarmed leftists (like Fred Hampton in you very own Chicago), agent-provocateur tactics in which FBI agents would suggest and encourage violent tactics, illegal wiretapping and other intelligence gathering activities, forged documents and a number of other illegal activities to combat “subversion.” The whole program was known as COINTELPRO, as exposed by the Church Committee.
None of this vast material was admissible in court because it was tainted. A judge would have had to exclude the evidence. In fact, the government didn’t even try to prosecute either Ayers or Dohrn. They were “amnestied” in the late 1970′s. There is some speculation that one or more of the crimes for which they could have been prosecuted involved an FBI plant/double agent. To prosecute would have been to expose the government’s role in fomenting terrorism.
Personally – and I’m a leftist, much more leftist than Barack, who is a pro-corporate moderate – I think Ayers is a fool and a shameless self-promoter. Most people on “the Left” (whatever that is) think the same. I bet he is loving every second of the attention.

From an AP article on Sarah Palin:
“Since then, that basic script is all anyone has heard from her publicly, and her only interaction with the media was a brief conversation with a small group of reporters on her plane Monday – off the record at her handlers’ insistence.”
This is preposterous. Off the record?
You people take this seriously? This is the AP, for god’s sake; their current director of news, Ron Fournier, almost worked on the McCain campaign.
Why can’t she answer a question, on the record, live everybody else?

Truth Matters – You and Jane Fonda agree on that one. Way to go Truth! You could have been a commie supporter, too. Welcome to the ‘Blame America First’ crowd and have some more Kool-Aid.

Brilliant, just Brilliant! Pick someone that emphasizes the maverick. That has actually done something about the now energy crisis for many citizens of her state and for you all in the rest of the nation. Let them be quit, let them build a mystery. Let the jackals and jealous take all their snipes and get them all out in the open. I am love’en it. The Washington Post can only go after legitimate pre-diem that 50% of the working force gets with government jobs. Biden alludes that his care is more care then someone else’s. Our change is real change, our lobbyists are less lobbyists then your lobbyists. What has been done for the real economy buster the energy by Biden, Obama or McCain? Did I mention history making choice? A real change and a real doer—Palin!!!

ON A SERIOUS NOTE–THE WAR IN IRAQ IS AS SENSELESS AS THE NAM WAR—JUST A BUNCH OF POLITICAL BS -COSTING MANY LIVES AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS —POLITICAL HACKS MAKE FORTUNES ON WARS .AND WE THE THE DUMBELLS PAY ALL THE PRICE.CHECK WHY CHINA IS DEVELOPING OIL FIELDS AND GETTING OIL OUT OF CHINA–WHAT THE HELL ARE WE ABSOLUTELY STUPID—AND THIS ONE IS MCBUSHES BUDDYS BLAME.

(correction to previous post – the linebacker link is below, click my nick..)

Obama chaired the CAC for five years and so had some executive experience, but he didn’t brag about that ’cause the thing was a failure. Where did the $160,000.000 go?

I knew the WMAL broadcasters (Hannity, Plank, Limbaugh and Levin) had gotten all wrong. It didn’t square up that a “terrorist” would be teaching at a university and never thrown in jail.

Steve J:
“And Granpa has used that experience to justify his like for ABBA’s “Dancing Queen” and his 9 houses. McCain has cheapened POW status.”
You might as a few of them how they feel about their POW status and McCain before you hit the send button. I know personally a few of them, and I know you don’t, or they’d have squared away your pitiful brain-housing group by now.
You keep talking about stuff of which you have absolutely no knowledge or even the smallest iota of comprehension. Forget “cheapened”, you utterly destroy the concept of informed dissent and discussion.

Gads Fool..
1) It’s Colonel, not general
Yes, had to re-edit as the spam filter caught something in the interview paste that it didn’t like..
2) Yes, they won, we lost. It’s time for you to grasp that.
I’ve known it for 35 years. You proud of that? I’m not.
3) Here’s what Bui Tin had to say:

…Then Johnson had rejected Westmoreland’s request for 200,000 more troops. We realized that America had made its maximum military commitment to the war.

Why do YOU think that Johnson rejected the request?
Keep reading that interview..
4) Yes, you are ignorant about the Vietnam War.
I see. I was there, you weren’t. I’m ignorant. You aren’t.
Um… read my previous post on this subject regarding your propensity to pontificate on topics you know nothing about.

“[I was there, you weren't. I'm ignorant. You aren't.]
Correct. I’m glad to see that you have taken the 1st of 12 steps to Vietnam Delusion Recovery.”
Already been through it, more than you can imagine.
Current objective is to keep from repeating the previous mistakes..
Like I said in my first post (which has apparently since “gone away”), regarding Linebacker II and my response to the statement that McCain’s release was due to the anti-war protests, the time to stop a war is before it starts.
Once you’re in it, you better win it.
We didn’t lose Nam, we quit. And the reason we quit is because of Ayers et.al.et.al.et.al.
And as I also pointed out, a lot more died in the 5 years after we left than the 12 years we were there.. 56,000 of my generation killed and not much good to show for it, and it didn’t have to be that way.. but we quit.

“A couple have come out and said McCain is unfit to be President, so why don’t you take your middle-age warrior delusions somewhere else?”
Interesting how you change the subject..
A couple fellow POWs opinions regarding McCain’s fitness for presidency has nothing to do with my challenge to your ignorant statement “McCain has cheapened POW status.” about querying actual POWs about what they think about your opinion.
And “a couple” is not a real significant percentage of the about 725 POWs. I know a couple personally (which is two more than you), and their opinions don’t follow yours or those “other couple” you refer to, so at best your point about McCain’s fitnes is a wash, but in reality by shear numbers it’s crushed.
But POW doesn’t qualify anyone for president. That wasn’t the issue. I’m left to conclude you changed the subject because you couldn’t defend your statement.

["McCain has cheapened POW status." ]
McCain’s POW Defense: Devaluing Our Service and His Own
BY Lt. General Robert G. Gard Jr. (USA, Ret.)
We obviously honor and respect McCain’s service and the five-and-a-half years of horror that he went through at the hands of the North Vietnamese; but it’s not an excuse for everything. He has already used it to explain away his infidelities in his first marriage. He’s used it to defend his healthcare plan. He just the other day used it to deflect accusations of having skirted the rules of the Saddleback forum.
It’s time for the Senator to stop cheapening the war experiences of thousands of vets and his fellow POWs, and his own as well, by stretching the boundaries of logic to make his POW status a wild-card rebuttal to all accusations or an answer to all difficult questions.

Steve J,
It does not help your candidate Obama when you spread lies about his opponent…
You are really stretching things here.
“I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.”
Margaret Thatcher

Only 15% of Americans consider themselves to be VERY LIBERAL. Obama, Biden, Pelosi and Reid are all VERY LIBERAL.
Most Democrats are well-meaning moderates and they vote Democrat mostly due to social reasons (such as abortion).
But of that 15% that are VERY LIBERAL, at least half are the whakc fringe like DailyKOS and Ayers here.
Do we really want to give unchecked power to the whack fringe left by putting VERY LIBERAL politicians in chanrge of every branch of government?
Do we really?

Ayers statement is full of lies and half truths. People should do their own research. Wikipedia is a good place to start. There you will learn about Days of Rage, Weatherman’s declaration of war against the U.S. Government, their intent to bomb an NCO dance at Ft. Dix and participation in a 1981 Brinks Bank Robbery. Wikipedia leaves out a bunch but gives you a flavor of what these terrorists were all about.
Obama is also connected to these people through Howard Gutman who was working on behalf of Susan Rosenburg when she got pardoned by Bill Clinton. She was involved in the Brinks Bank Robbery that ended in 2 deaths. The purpose of the robbery was to gain resources for more terrorist activity. She was apprehended 740 pounds of dynamite and weapons in New Jersey. Gutman is an Obama Campaign National Finance Committee Member.
These are bad people who look back nostalgically on bombing Government buildings the way most people look back at college keg parties. It is entirely proper that Obama’s ties to these people are questioned, and to question why so many have been given good jobs at universities, all of which get direct and indirect Federal subsidies.

Terrym
I just keep hoping that Pat Robertson comes out with a rant about how God will punish us if Sarah isn’t elected.
You seem to think that the left owns all of the wing nuts. I’d say the last eight years are proof otherwise.

Who believes this one? Obama called him and told him to tonedown his message, that’s all. It’s just another Obama manipulation.

There are some issues with Obama, most of which I will not get into. The two most stupid thngs that Obama has ever done: a) he is now personally attacking Palin. b) he chose Biden for his VP, who is even MORE Liberal than he is. All in all, this “cartoon” doesn’t help the half-white, half-black man.

There is one good thing abut this electon cycle, it has got more people involved in their country’s furture. The bad thing is how our media is tilting the information to acheive an end they desire. We hear things that have no bearing on what is happening but cannot get suitable answers to many important questions. We have heard more questions and innuendos about Palin in a short time and have got any answers than have been asked of Obama in 19 months. Can anyone explain this?

For some reason the Mainstream Media has been late in looking into the background of Sen Obama. But the New Media has been digging and looking into his shady associations for a long time. His associations with terrorists:
It is good that the MSM is catching up — hopefully this will end Obama’s presidential aspirations.

A vile, unrepentant terrorist bomber and an advisor to the democrat candidate. How’s that for a “change”?

There is no such thing as a “safe” explosion. If people are not hurt in that type of explosion it is simply luck. And even if you do manage to avoid injuring someone in the explosion – you put the clean-up crews in danger when they have to work in the areas. Ayers is the type of scum that used to spit and harass our soldiers after they returned from War. I have NO RESPECT for the man or anyone that attaches themselves to this type of person.

Oh. It’s okay to bomb stuff if you call ahead?
Hmmm. I wonder if Ayers is listed?
What a loser. (I know that’s redundant with Obama supporters.)
And don’t forget Kennedy started Vietnam. Nixon ended it.

Simple answer… B.S.
Why I can’t vote for Obama… he’s a socialist.
I started life as a Pvt in the USMC. 20 years later and so many nights going to school I can’t count, I retired with a masters degree and was a self-taught computer programmer. I’ve spent the last 20 years programming and now earn about $130K/year. That’s not Bill Gates but it’s what I’ve spent a lifetime building. I’m 61.
Obama says I make too much and wants to give some of what I earn to a 21 year-old waitress working for minimum wage and tips. Excuse me, but this waitress has 40 years to do exactly the same point that I am today. She probably doesn’t expect or want my retirement. But that doesn’t stop the socialists from wanting to play Robin Hood.
Country First!

Didn’t hurt anyone huh? Tell that to you girfriend and the two other friends that blew themselves up making one of your bombs. A bomb they wanted to use to kill American sldiers attending a dance. And tell that to the Police Officers that your minions killed when they bombed a Police Station. Your nothing but a two bit Terrorist ayers. You and your wife both should have been sent to the electric chair decades ago.

Why isn’t Jake Tapper letting readers know that people WERE killed as a result of Ayers’ bombs? Why does that need to be pointed out by ordinary citizens?

It was Democrat Kennedy (who was paranoid of communist)who stepped up troops in Vietnam to the point of no return then Democrat Lyndon Johnson declared war. It was a republican that got us out!
All the anti-war people turned their backs to the millions of veitnamese who were slaughtered after we withdrew our troops. Funny how they call our troops murderers and defend the real murderers!

Ayers is a liar and a commie tool. He opposes the rule of law unless he’s the one enforcing his type of law.

So Bomber Bill doesn’t think “violence is necessarily the answer,” huh?
Yeah, and Barrack Obama didn’t mean that Sarah Palin was necessarily a pig, either.

Did Bush call the residents of Baghdad before he dropped the bunker buster?
If this is all the Right has got, bring it on.

The Vietnam War might have been hopeless, but it was never “immoral”. The whole idea was to FIGHT COMMUNISM!
And YES, the Ayers terrorist acts DID KILL PEOPEL! Just a quick Google Search proves that. Even Wikipedia agress!
Bill Ayers is quite obiously a liar!!!

Let’s take a look at some OTHER connections?
McCain/Big Oil
McCain/Bush-Cheney (who have killed a million innocent Iraqis and displaced millions more)
Anyone in our government who had a meeting with Sadaam Hussein should be considered a terrorist
Please, people. It’s not like Ayers was hiding out in a basement somewhere when Obama met him. He’s a distinguished professor who DECIDED to work in Early Childhood Education – now, if he were working for Wall Street, we might have something to talk about.

So is this how Obama plans to get things done? Threaten and intimidate? This is not what America needs. I can see it now that if there is another terrorist attach Obama imposes martial law and strips our civil liberties mouthing “for the greater good”. We should never become a socialist police state. Americans will come to the defense of our home turf; not government strongmen. We are the eyes, ears, and hands of our law enforcement and will let legal process fulfill its duty as long as it is capable and answers to the American people. We never surrender our liberty and safety this philosophy of fear and intimidation. It has a stronghold in the mid-east but should never take hold here.

Let’s see you reckless liberal media mongels stop Gov. Palin now!! You go girl…go!

Mrs. P: “It is despicably ironic that Ayers makes this statement only a couple days before the 7th year after 9/11!”
Don’t forget Obama’s Reverend Wright in his own words: “America deserves 9/11 attack! God d____ America!” OBAMA SAVORED HIS REVEREND”S WORDS, EEVERY ONE OF THEM.

I was beginning to feel sorry for Sarah Palin’s naked ignorance as revealed in recent interviews. But she’s just a typical name calling politician, hungry for power, desperate to win and unwilling to struggle for any meaningful or new solutions to the huge problems facing the US and the world. I am looking forward to watching her and McCain go down in defeat.

Mr Bull Obama was against the war before he fully funded it.
Mr Bull Obama voted to continue the spying on Americans.
Can’t stand bull artists.

Ayers has NOTHING to do with Obama!
And ther is nothing that the LYING Palin can say that will make it so.
She should stop LYING about Barack and someone should start telling the truth about HER!
Barack is NOT a traitor – he is a TRUE AMERICAN hero. Ayers, however, refuses to admit he was wrong and to me that makes him a fool.

Dems know how to pick em.

Really? you people give a squat about Alaska?
you really want to embrace it as an equal among all States?
All we’ve heard for the past month is what a backward cesspool breading ground it is that Palin needed to be banished back to.
Is the only reason you don’t want Alaska to secede is that you’ll need your own “Siberian Gulag” once the the Great Hope takes power?

“Say it ain’t so Joe” Obama just got a love bite from the pit bull. Monday she will sink her teeth in. this is getting good. Pop corn please.

Sarah the “pitbull” is all bark and no bite. Let her radical Alaska Independenace Party husband stay in Alaska and keep on fighting to secede from the union. Call them out for what they are. A couple of unpatriotic, dangerous idiots who are trying to sucker Americans for support. Apparently they’ve deceived a few of the ignorant.
Country first??? Try Alaska first, Alaska always. Wake up, America!

McCain is scum of the earth. I think we would have been better off had he decided to off himself in that Hanoi jail cell like the coward he really is.

The efforts of the Press, and other invisible anti-US forces to protect Obama and make him (by hook or crook) the President, are plain SCARY!!
Obama has no experience, he talks non-sense and still people want him as their President (having another DUMB like Bush as President) – call it US’s time of GLORY is over.

this is nothing compared to obamas next new problem the facts on freddie and fannie are coming to roost fox has a new special i see a republican congress and president coming the truth is coming out

Thank you for helping to call Obama ans Ayres out. Now could you please do something about ABC News misinformation that “nobody was killed,” by WUO. Three of their own members died in a bomb blast, an armor car guard and two NJ Troopers died during a botched robbery, and a SF police sergeant died at the hand of a Weatherman.

“There you go again, looking into the past.” (quote from Palin in VP debate) Biden was chided for looking into the past rather than the future in the debate. Seems McCain/Palin can’t follow their own words. Ayers is old, old news. Living during the time that WUO was active, I didn’t like their methods but I understood their reasoning. Still, the Ayers Obama has known as an aquantance, not a friend, is not that same radical. People do change as they age. There was also the Government propoganda to make the group seem even worse. Again, Obama sees the good in all people and wants to bring us all together. It’s time to stop looking at what divides us and what we have in common. That’s what Obama is about.

why do we care about ayers at this point in time ?? America needs to start looking to move forward and the only way we will move forward is to elect Obama for president, ayers clearly did what he did because of his beliefs in communism and his beliefs that the Vietnam war was wrong , his actions were bad. Palin and McCain need to start telling us more about how they will push to country forward and less of lies. They think we(Americans) are stupid to vote for them because they say Obama is a terrorist???, well they thought wrong because he clearly is not and he has openly said that the actions of ayers and his group was wrong.

It simply amazes me that so many people think it’s nothing to be gumbahs with a MAD BOMBER who killed people.
Of course Democrats have a history of being soft on MAD BOMBERS. We need look no further than Al Gore to find Brent Kimberlin (he tossed a stick of dynamite in a grade school playground).
These guys all need to check in for some serious psychiatric treatment.

this is exactly why McCain is loosing, You all sound like pit bulls and look what happens to them! society looks at them as dangerous! and what happens, they get put to sleep!!!! Sad!! Quit wasting time on garbage all you perfect people and stick to the issues that really count! Besides you are all naive if you put all you’re faith and trust in either of them!! Obama for President!!!!!!!!

And another thing – this economy issue started with Clinton era, and ended with Pelosi, Frank, and Dodd, screwing America and their liberal hooligans in office. They wanted this just to happen just before the election, they are deceitful, nasty and should be fired for creating havoc on society.
The media is part of this too.

Bill Ayers is a man who on 9/11 said the terrorists didn’t do enough to this country. Obama sat in the same livingroom with him and talked to him and not once did he know – everyone knows about Bill Ayers.
And to the media ABC, NBC, CBS and others is the KGB following you around so that you don’t say any thing bad about Obama since the Hamas, Bin Laden, Putin in Russia, Chevez in Mexico, and Castro and Castro’s brother want Obama here. All Socialistic and Communistic.
Bill Ayers is a Socialistic bomber.
We should be frighten of the fact that the media also, for they are working for a socialistic cause by not reporting the facts.
And if Obama does get in and you Americans on here think your freedoms will not be taken away. Read up on people’s blogs who came from Cuba however they could to America for our freedoms and see what it is like living in Socialistic Cuba. Go to those countries and see what it is like and why people from other countries come here for their health care and the real reason why they go back.
Obama like I said is a puppet for someone else and if he should get in office by Acorn who 4,000 died people in Texas were electing Obama, and my vote will not count, for it is stacked and the Liberals made sure we Americans are paying for them in the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bill for it is part of their pork. YOu will see immediately your life change from the better to worse.
I’ve read alot of books about Communism and Socialism and heard what the people living in those countries have said and you will not like it. For your hip-hop will be gone, your voice will not be heard or else you will be imprisoned, and the internet will be spied upon by the KGB or some socialistic group that will make sure your voice is squashed on here. The internet will no longer be a public place. You can bet your life on that one. The only people on here will be paying customers, and that will be the end of people being able to voice their opinion and when out in public if you march you will be herded like in China or killed. Believe it or not.
Have fun with Obama, I’ve learned my lessons on it from my great great grandparents on how Socialism, Nazism, Communism works and I will know what to do to survived and persevere. Do you?
Bill Ayers will come out of hiding and help Obama and Socialism will be here within afew months of his Presidency.
And you wonder why our government is getting shots ready for a suitcase bomb, that was on the internet this morning.

Would you be all that surprised to learn that Bill Ayers has connections to al Qaida? He had them with the brutal North Vietnam regime, he was on their side, the evil side – so wouldn’t it make sense for him to want to effect the same outcome for our brave soldiers in Iraq the way he did for them in Vietnam? Bill Ayers is an ENEMY to my country and Obama’s close friendship to him makes Obama either a complete fool or just another thug enemy – take your pick.

It is rather amazing that the bombings back in the 1970′s were telegraphed and that because of the warnings that no one was killed… Now what about the “SHOCK AND AWE” that formed the beginning of the Iraq WAR?? How many innocent people do you think were killed???? And for what purpose???Was it for OIL??? and the 70′s actions were to stop the VIETMAM POLICE ACTION where innocent people and US FORCES were being killed for no reason!!!!!
Could someone answer that question for me???
Thanks SKIP

Warnings were phoned in? So that is why soldiers almost died on at least one occasion because of the result of one of his bombings. It is absolutely pathetic, and hilarious, that this idiot thinks it is no big deal to bomb various building simply because he got lucky and no one was killed. Furthermore, at least one person was in fact killed making a bomb. Good riddance.
