McCain Questions Obama-Ayers Relationship
NY Times ^ | 10/9/08 | Liz Bumiller

Posted on 10/09/2008 3:06:07 PM PDT by pissant

WAUKESHA, Wisc.—Senator John McCain joined in the attacks on Thursday on Senator Barack Obama for his ties to the 1960s radical William Ayers as he told an angry, raucous crowd that “we need to know the full extent of the relationship” to judge whether Mr. Obama “is telling the truth to the American people or not.”

Although Mr. McCain did not mention Mr. Ayers, a founder of the Weather Underground, by name, his intent was clear in his response to a question from a participant at a town hall-style meeting here. The man told Mr. McCain that “we’re all wondering why Obama is where he’s at’’ and then asked, “Is there not a way to get around this media and line up the people he has hung with?’’

Mr. McCain responded: “Well, sir, with your help and the people in this room, we will find out, just as Senator Clinton said in the primary that we should find out about this association. Look, we don’t care about an old washed-up terrorist and his wife who still, at least on Sept. 11, 2001, said he still wanted to bomb more. You know, but that’s not the point here. The point is, Senator Obama said he was just a guy in the neighborhood. We need to know that’s not true.’’

At this point, the crowd in the Center Court Sports Complex booed furiously.

Uh-oh, another “angry raucous” McCain crowd no doubt filled with all sorts of racial hatred. Goes without saying they were making all sorts of threatening gestures while clapping thunder-sticks and yelling at the black camera man. And if not, I’m terribly disappointed in the Slimes as their reporting is slipping.

Jim Lehrer (PBS, DNC-attackSHILL): "Mr. Ayers is a distinguished architect and lawyer.
Any bombs which went off on his watch were set off by President Bush."

OBAMA BAD JUDEGEMENT

- Ayers
- Wright
- Farrakhan
- ACORN
- Rezko
- Flager
- Odinga
- Frank Marshall Davis

Come on now... This guy has got the most radical background of any politician on the national stage and we are supposed to believe that HE IS CHANGE>... That He is going to BRING US ALL TOGETHER...

How can you bring anyone together with the Radical list of friends and associates listed above?

How can the media deny that this is not a problem for him?

That list is a list of Communists and Socialists that is not where America wants to go.... or does it?

Stalin brought change to Russia, Castro to cuba and Chavez to venezuela.... is America ready for that Obama change?

THEN BRING IT UP AT THE NEXT DEBATE!!! Where you will have millions of people watching. And not as a snide remark with that self-satisfied little grin, but as a real, "on behalf of the American people, we DEMAND to know the truth," question.

Or else give back the money we have donated to your campaign.

There’s no doubt in my mind the media is trying it’s best to get some nut to attack McCain/Palin. They know that if they tell enough lies some nut will act. I hate liberals!
