The fact they prominently menion he is a billionaire means NOTHING. The ad is true, and Obama is in a panic. The letters to TV stations are full of lies and whines.
They [Obama attorneys] say the ad is "demonstrably false" and labeled it a "crude, disreputable and malicious attempt to link Sen. Obama to domestic terrorist activities."
There is nothing in the ad that links Obama to terrorist activities. There is, however, substantial reason in his own record (such as it is) to link him to Ayers, a domestic terrorist.
Parse the title folks.
The implication is that without this ad there would be no link. Typical leftist reasoning. If no one is allowed to talk about it, it will not exist.
So, the LATimes is furious because Simmonds has funded ads that reveal the truth?
Not supposed to question the media lies?
It looks like they were in such a hysterical state they misfeed the paper into the printer so they could rush-fax it to stop the ad. They are DESPARATE. It is a devastating ad.
Leftists still haven’t changed since Arthur Koestler wrote “Darkness at Noon”.
Words & deeds BUMP!
Thanks again, Mr. Simmons.
Oh my, I was never a McCain supporter, but he loves his country. Obama may too, not sure though if it’s the same one.
Good job, Mr. Simmons.
Thanks for deconstructing the carefully chosen words of propagandists.

The best ad of this election cycle. Telling the world who Obama really is.
We know that Ayers started Obama's political career, and is very influential in Chicago politics. What hasn't been really examined is HOW and WHY he's influential
The HOW and WHY is his dad Thomas G Ayers (1915-2007). Tom Ayers was President of Commonwealth Edison from 1964, and was chairman and CEO from 1973 to 1980. Besides that:
"He had a great social conscience and believed in breaking down the barriers that confronted so many people, particularly minorities and women," said James O'Connor, who succeeded Mr. Ayers as ComEd chairman. "Beyond what he did at Commonwealth Edison, he really set an example for other leaders in the Chicagoland business community to follow."Bill Ayers' dad was a primary mover and shaker in Chicago politics, with strong ties to the Daley machine. Besides all the above:Mr. Ayers also served on boards of nonprofit initiatives and chaired those of the Chicago Urban League, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Chicago Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Erikson Institute, Bank Street College of Education in New York, Community Renewal Society and the Chicago Community Trust.
While chairing the Northwestern University Board of Trustees, he helped start Chicago United, dedicated to racial minority group access to jobs and education. The project that made him most proud, son John Ayers said, was Dearborn Park, an integrated South Loop housing project, which he conceived and for which he raised funds.
With his sons deep in protest of the Vietnam War (one, Bill Ayers, was a member of the radical Students for a Democratic Society who went underground for about 11 years) the businessman supported his children and their campaign. "Our father always stood by us," John Ayers said. "He was an establishment guy, but he believed in us. He believed in change."
After the Board of Education's financial collapse of 1979, Mayor Jane M. Byrne named Mr. Ayers as her choice for president of the new board.
He was the Chicago establishment, serving on the boards of Sears, G.D. Searle, Chicago Pacific Corp., Zenith Corp., Northwest Industries, General Dynamics Corp. of St. Louis, First National Bank of Chicago, the Chicago Cubs and the Tribune Co.Mr. Ayers also was an agent for change, negotiating between Mayor Richard J. Daley's administration and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s open housing campaign in the mid-1960s, and developing the Leadership Council for Metropolitan Open Communities to fight racial discrimination in housing.
Props to Mr. Simmons
“EX”?
how do we know he is ex?
seems he is just “EX” in name only, he still believes in the leftist cause to overthrow the usa.
Thank you Mr. Simmons.

I meant that the network powers-that-be who accept/decline paid advertising declined the ad. That always gives a boost for freebies. But the corporate decision was NO.
NO!!! Don't tell me my Cubs are corrupted because of these Marxists!! Now what am I going to do?
