Ayers and Obama (Must Read Links to New Stanley Kurtz Articles on Obama's Terrorist Connections)
NRO's The Corner ^ | 9/23/2008 | Peter Kirsanow

Posted on 09/23/2008 12:55:27 PM PDT by mojito

Stanley Kurtz's articles today on NRO and in the Wall Street Journal are must reads. Three takeaways:

* Obama had a long-term working relationship with William Ayers.

* The Chicago Annenberg Challenge ("CAC"), the only executive experience on Obama's resume, was an objective failure despite the expenditure of millions of dollars.

* Through the CAC, Ayers and Obama financed radical organizations, including one with a history of engaging in voter fraud.

Stanley's work is a challenge to mainstream journalists. A candidate for the presidency has a demonstrated working relationship with — indeed funded — an unrepentant terrorist, yet the media have spent more time reporting about Sarah Palin's hair styles.

Ya gotta appreciate the rat primary process. The moonbats rule. No smoke filled rooms of party elders are allowed at the nominating convention. The result?

'Viola! An unelectable candidate. Go rats!

The Chicago Annenberg Challenge stands as Barack Obama’s most important executive experience to date. By its own account, CAC was a largely a failure. And a series of critical evaluations point to reasons for that failure, including a poor strategy, to which the foundation over-committed in 1995, and over-reliance on community organizers with insufficient education expertise. The failure of CAC thus raises entirely legitimate questions, both about Obama’s competence, his alliances with radical community organizers, and about Ayers’s continuing influence over CAC and its board, headed by Obama. Above all, by continuing to fund Ayers’s personal projects, and those of his political-educational allies, Obama was lending moral and material support to Ayers’s profoundly radical efforts. Ayers’s terrorist history aside, that makes the Ayers-Obama relationship a perfectly legitimate issue in this campaign.

But the DBM would rather talk about Tasergate and the non-scandel which doesn't involve Gov. Palin.

The pic is as true as BHO’s statement that he barely knew Ayers.

Stanley Kurtz was just on Greta’s program.

I missed most of it, but it looked like Kurtz got a chance to talk.
