When Obama was organizing his first race for the state legislature, the incumbent lawmaker he hoped to replace introduced him to her supporters and urged them to back Obama. One introductory event took place at the home of Ayers and Dohrn.

Just a guy who lives in my neighborhood...not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis

During Wednesday's debate, Obama argued that if the candidates are to be held responsible for distant connections to the Weather Underground, then Clinton would fail, too.

Works for me.

Just in time to help Hillary...surprise, surprise. If Hillary wins the Democratic nomination, she’ll be the next President of the United States. What is it about that that is so hard for prominent Republican commentators to understand? Why don’t they shut up already about Obama?!

Rush Limbaugh is calling for the Super Delegates to go with a 3rd candidate and says Obama or Hitlery could not beat McCain.

Will the media ever "discover" Hitlery's relationship with Bob Treuhaft?

No, didn't think so.

This should be a big plus for Obama in liberal circles. Democrats love this stuff.

Hannity has been flogging this Ayers connection. Finally broke through to MSM like Rev Wright. Good for him.

I was in high school when the weathermen were active. I remember one woman - I read an article about her over and over. I think her name was Camilla Hall.

As a high school girl I couldn’t understand why anyone would get so radical they would makes bombs to kill innocent people. She ended up having a “work accident”.

Our own brand of terrorist evil, bred by the far left. That Obama could even sit in the same room with one of these- well, I’m only a bitter rural person, but I at least have the principles that I would get up and leave. Just like I would have walked out of his “church”.

“Rush Limbaugh is calling for the Super Delegates to go with a 3rd candidate”

No, no no Rush. The goal of Operation Chaos should be (as you stated) to create chaos within the party all the way up to the convention. Rush should then call for super delegates to push for a “dream ticket”

That way, the country could bury both of these losers in one fell swoop.

An Obami/Clinton ticket would be a dream ticket....for an opponent. It would be the worst ticket in the history of Presidential elections. COuld be a 50 state sweep - and no chance that either would be nominated again.

Love it. As some of the MSM tries to save Obama, Hitlery gets more negative exposure. These Rats are getting what they deserve.

I can’t imagine a more entertaining circus than this Democratic primary is turning out to be. I especially love the fact that the more Obama attack Hillary, the deeper in her heels go. LOL

John McCain was hardly my first choice, but at least the other Republican nominees had the good sense to get out of the race when it seemed they weren’t going to win the nomination. Overall, I think that makes the Republicans look far more sensible and capable than these two idiots on the Democratic side.

From one Typical White Person to another, you have a good point.

Hannity has been on this like a duck on a june bug. He said the other day he doesn’t care about anything else, he will pound this until the MSM picks it up.

Hannity is a true soldier for conservatism. I remember the 2004 election, where he was an absolute cheerleader to get out the vote after the MSM had declared Kerry already the winner. “If you live in Ohio, get out your cell phone - call up everyone on the your list and ask if they’ve voted. If they haven’t give them a ride!”

I was talking to my son about this the other day. I told him I was actually getting to admire Hillary.

My son knows I don’t use profanity. So then he turned to me and said, “Mom, you won’t say it, but what you are trying to say is the woman has bal*s!.”

She does. She is tough and disciplined, and has true chutzpah. I do respect for that. Now if she only had a moral bone in her body.

I heard she was raised by republican parents. Then she fell into the hands of a socialist methodist “youth pastor” who took her around to see every radical in the book. He was later fired.

That man has a lot to answer for.

Did anyone catch Obama’s answer which you quote?..

He doesn't exchange ideas with Ayers on a “frequent basis”. What the heck????? So we can infer that you exchange ideas on an infrequent basis??? On national television Obama intimated that he DOES exchange ideas with this NUT from time to time.

I LOVED Charlie and George last night!!!!!! It appears that the ‘kings’ clothes are becoming more and more transparent!

Great work, Sean. I thought I heard Rush say that Sean had Charlie on H&C and enlightened him about the Ayers issue. Anyone know about this?

I believe him, after all now he's a US Senator, commuting between Chicago and DC, not a Illinois State Senator commuting beween Springfield and Chicago, and working for the same employer as Ayers. The significance of these relationships, like Ayers and Wright and Rezko is that they illuminate the types of people he'll surround himself in the White House. I don't want Jeremiah Wright advising the President spiritually any more than I want Ayers and Dohrn advising him on education. How difficult would it be to condemn in the strongest terms the terrorists and racists who aided him in the early days of his political career.

Correcting my previous post: It was George who was a guest on Hannity’s radio show...and Sean brought up Ayers then.
