From McCain campaign:

Please see comment from me on Barack Obama’s new ad supposedly running in Georgia:

“Barack Obama’s ad is ridiculous. Because of John McCain, corruption was exposed and people like Jack Abramoff went to jail.

“However, if Barack Obama wants to have a discussion about truly questionable associations, let’s start with his relationship with the unrepentant terrorist William Ayers, at whose home Obama’s political career was reportedly launched. Mr. Ayers was a leader of the Weather Underground, a terrorist group responsible for countless bombings against targets including the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon and numerous police stations, courthouses and banks. In recent years, Mr. Ayers has stated, ‘I don’t regret setting bombs … I feel we didn’t do enough.’

“The question now is, will Barack Obama immediately call on the University of Illinois to release all of the records they are currently withholding to shed further light on Senator Obama’s relationship with this unrepentant terrorist?”

—McCain spokesman Brian Rogers

Absolutely outstanding.

That’s going to leave a mark.

When the American people learn of BO’s associations, they will drop him like a hot potato.

Thanks for the ping.

PWNED. Point McCain.

If the white-haired dude has been through a Vietnames torture camp, he's not going to be intimidated by cocktail-party snubs or mere trash talk.

Cheers!

Wow!! McCain is certainly running a tough campaign. I wouldn never have thought it of him.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Just wait until the money connections to Middle East influence purchasers hits the media ... and the connection through Rezko to Saddam Hussein’s Oil for Food briber! Barry is toast. Jerome Corsi has so quietly driven the stake into the Marxist vampire’s heart the sound of the hammer hitting the stake was barely audible. This ain’t swiftboating, it’s vampire slaying.

This is great. Now if something could be done to destroy the whole RAT party, this country would be the better for it.

Oh no, if it rains, then these tickets are wasted.

Have you seen the tickets for the big event in the stadium?

I worry it is a little premature. I fear a Hillary coup de main that will result in his loss. After the convention.... no holds barred.

The way this is going, bring her on. First Obama, then Hillary!! She ain't squeaky clean by any means.

Absolutely outstanding.

Yes it is. Thanks for posting.

[PGalt]

Thanks for the ping, neverdem. None of Barack’s questionable associates steam me more than that homegrown POS Ayers.

Where was that contact info for the guy at the U of I? Hannity mentioned yesterday, correctly, that those records are being scrubbed as we speak.

Pressure needs to be put on these people to release them TODAY.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

This is why I like McCain. No other Republican would be so agressive. All the others would have just rolled over or made to look like a fool.

But this is a complete turn around for McCain. He's spent years stabbing Republicans in the back and sucking up to RATS and especially the MSM. Something has happened. This is a very pleasant surprise.

[OKSooner]

Say what you will about McCain, don't you just know he's going to thoroughly enjoy busting this lightweight over his relationship with a traitor?

Paybacks...

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Sounds good to me.

Looks like they are following the Obama MO when he ran his other campaigns — cover up who he is and target the opponent to get them out of the race. This time he is up against an opponent that he cannot chase out of the race so now he is in full oover-up mode about his record. What is great is that he cannot cover up his time in the IL Senate or DC. I would bet if he could, he would.

Those records need to see the light of day and there is no reason for them not to be made public. Something is being hidden.

“Team McCain knows how to fight. This would have never happened with Team Bush. New tone crap...”

Ah, Bush won two terms, McCain hasn’t won jack (and lost to Bush for that matter).

Having said that, I love the fact McCain is runnung a much tougher campaign than I thought.

Hey Barry, better put some ice on that.

Obama is so screwed. He has so many slimy connections that if he so much as attempts to slime McCain on some ethereal issue, McCain's camp will easily smack him down with the stuff that the media has been ignoring. The only way the media can then defend Obama, and the only way he can defend himself, will be to talk about the guys in Obama's past, which they don't want to do, because then the issue they've been trying to ignore gets out there.

Maybe next time, McCain's henchmen will talk about Rezko. Or Frank Davis. Or Barry's fake birth certificate. Etc...etc. :-)

[Interesting Times]

Who are these guys, and what have they done with the previously somnolent McCain campaign? This is great.

[PhatHead]

... the only way he can defend himself, will be to talk about the guys in Obama's past, which they don't want to do...

I'm not convinced they are smart enough to avoid talking about those people. Have you read the official Obama response to the Corsi book? I have not even read the Corsi book, and now I don't think I need to - the "defense" talks about Rezko and Ayers and makes Obama look pretty bad (I think.)

I really hope they publish a few more "defenses."

[TruthWillWin]

Nothing will come of this (library documents). A Sandy Berger occurrence will happen and the MSM will ignore it.
