’60s Bomber Ayers Repudiates NY Times, Obama Links

’60s Bomber Ayers Repudiates NY Times, Obama Links by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace · 6 Comments

(2008-10-04) — William Ayers, founder of the radical Weather Underground group which carried out a bombing campaign against U.S. targets in the 1960s, today attempted to distance himself from both Barack Obama and The New York Times.

Mr. Ayers distributed a news release in response to the Times’ 2,100-word investigative story, originally titled “Obama Has Met Ayers, but the Two Are Not Close” and later re-headlined “Obama Met Ayers By Accident, Worked with Him Unwittingly, Can’t Recall What He Looks Like.”

“I don’t read the mainstream media propaganda rags,” said Mr. Ayers, now terrorist emeritus at the University of Illinois at Chicago. “The New York Times and the rest of them are just tools used by The Man to deceive the people of the world. If I had the sixties to do over again, I’d bomb them first.”

As for Sen. Obama, whose political career Mr. Ayers helped to launch, and who served as chairman of Mr. Ayers “education” project in Chicago, the professor agrees with the presidential candidate that they barely know each other.

“Just because a guy lives in your neighborhood, starts his run for the White House in your living room, and helps you channel millions of dollars into a program to teach kids what kind of country we really live in…that doesn’t mean we’re close,” he said. “That’s like saying the dude I saw in the hardware department at Wal-Mart is my best buddy just because he showed me where the fuses were…and then gave me some bread to buy them.”

Have others noted here that FOX repeatedly called the Palin Ayers accusations “desperation” by McCain? I was really pissed.

First, that Fox ran to Obama’s defense.

Second, this is the problem with introducing an issue late in the campaign.

RESUME OF: B HUSSEIN OBAMA

1.) COLB
Proven fake by more than one source
2.) Sketchy childhood
We know some details - Lots of gaps - muslim?
3.) College thesis has vanished
Was it anything like Michele’s?
4.) Overseas travel
Pakistan? Why? On what passport?
5.) Law records
What cases did he represent?
6.) Senate records disappeared
What was he trying to hide?
7.) Associations
Rev Wright, Ft Flager, Ayers, Rezko, Davis, Michele etc.
8.) Senate voting record
That speaks for itself
9.) SCOTUS
Who would his choices be?
10.) Proven Liar
11.) Inexperience
12.) Racist, Sexist, Radical, Marxist views

THIS IS THE TRUTH FOLKS!! NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE!
B Hussein scares the hell out of me.
Keep the community organizer out of the White House

The issue has been in the campaign ever since Obama announced he was running.

Where have you been?

Here is the BILL AYERS ad, pass it around.

I heard an interview with someone from this project last night, it was absolutely CHILLING.

They spent a big chunk of money on lawyers to even get this produced, all of it is true, Obama’s high priced liberal inside D.C. lawyers were all over them before they even released it. They are being intimidated with CRIMINAL prosecution for a political ad.

What is going on with Obama is pure Stalinist tactics. In Missouri, as he said the threat of being CRIMINALLY PROSECUTED for not telling the truth about Obama is enough for 95% of people to Shut Up.

They were threatening CRIMINAL prosecution if you disagreed that 95% of people would get a tax cut with Obama’s plan.

Please also watch this video too and pass it around.

Our only way to fight back is to educate people, about 20-25% of the people are lost in this country, we will win this election.

Murdoch is losing money by the barrelful and if doesn't overcompensate for Hannity he fears an Obama's FCC actions in those cities where Fox has multiple media outlets. He can't fire Sean cause he makes money and outperforms Larry king by twofold/

You'll also note the kind words for Obama that emanate from Scaife. McCain has no friends in the media save Michael Medved. Every other talk radio jock from Rush to Hugh had another horse in the race and Mac was not even second choice. His only choice now is to go negative but to tie it all to policy. It will take a deft hand to do this.

I forgot about obama’s statement that Ayers was “mainstream” and “respectable.” I hope Sarah said that and continues.
