This is from Anderson Cooper 360, but you might swear that you were listening to Rush Limbaugh tear Obama to shreds for flat out lying about his connection with Ayers. You aren't going to believe it is actually CNN.

I wish, someone would have mentioned in this report...the FACT that Obama has a reputation of hanging out with, and fostering the same views as guy's like Ayers, Odinga, Alinsky, Wright, etc..etc...
Birds of a feather, flock together!!!!!!
If John McCain truly is putting country first, he MUST let the public know of anything he knows about Obama that might hurt us as a people and as a country. To have damning evidence of a harmful nature to our country and hide it or any PART of it for political reasons would be treason.
I am not saying he IS hiding anything, but IF HE DOES HAVE INFORMATION OR KNOWLEDGE, he needs to share that, and ALL of that, out of safety for our country and its people.
That would be great.
But it would be better....if someone in the audience asked Obama that.
My ex-husband and I are going to put our heads together and see if we can recall something more concrete or come up with some details about this meeting. Not that it makes any difference, really. The point is that the woman is nuts and she is associated with Obama.
I'm pretty sure they could add that in addition to my comments in post 26 to a 30 second spot to make the association appear even worse.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, it was interesting!!
This story, rather than an expose, was a subtle attempt to white wash the situation, just as the New York Times did, by concentrating on Ayers actions in the sixties and seventies and calling the Ayers/Obama collaboration with CAC as an effort to "improve schools". Steve Diamond has a good critique on the NY Times illusion. Many of his points apply to the CNN whitewash as well.
They also talk about Ayers and Dohr as "anti-Vietnam War" radicals, failing to mention that the Weather Underground continued to operate long after the Vietnam War was over. For example, the 1981 Brinks robbery by the Black Liberation Army and Weather Underground in Nyack, New York. In 1981 Barack had just begun his studies at Columbia University. Wonder what his take on the event was!
“”I wish, someone would have mentioned in this report...the FACT that Obama has a reputation of hanging out with, and fostering the same views as guy’s like Ayers, Odinga, Alinsky, Wright, etc..etc...””
Why isn’t anyone (Boortz, O’Reilly, Rush) picking up on the report from Hannity’s America on Sunday night? I don’t know who the gentleman was but he spoke about Obama knowing Ayers in NYC, left a good paying job there to go to Chicago where he didn’t know a soul to further Ayer’s goal of overthrowing the government. Even Hannity isn’t focusing on it and I don’t understand. That’s pretty damning right there. The guy seemed to have his act together and not bashful about his recollections.
WHEN the big ZERO loses in November, can he run in 2012 as a WHITE MAN? Who would be his mentors then? Has the man never met an honorable person?
Just to set the record straight, Obama was working for NYPIRG before he left for Chicago, hardly a good paying job. However, as you point out his move to Chicago is rather curious!
As a curious side-note, if you go to William Ayers’ main website
you will notice a very prominent name in the middle of the page: ABU-ZAYD. For those of you who are not familiar with Islamic culture, the name means “FATHER OF ZAYD” and it is Ayers OTHER name. As you may have noticed above, Ayers has two children which he raised as Muslims (Malik and Zayd), a fact that he openly exalts by applying to himself an honorary Muslim name.
CNN, you know, was ALWAYS the "Clinton News Network". They have not forgotten their allegiances.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I don’t think the management around here would like it.
It is interesting that the NYT just opened the door on this one isn’t it. Looks like a subtle Clinton hit. We’ll know for sure if they run another piece.
