BHO can now say, “this is old news. The NYT already looked into it and found nothing there.”

”Obama campaign aides said the Ayers relationship had been greatly exaggerated by opponents to smear the candidate.”

Can you even imagine the outright MSM lunacy that would accompany any Republican associated with the likes of this “guy who lives in my neighborhood” defense? My gawd, he’d be keel-hauled by the media. When will the NYT go bankrupt?!?

“I did not have radical relations with that man, William Ayers.” -

More in-the-tank Obama cheerleading:

From everything I’ve read it’s very possible that Hussein himself was a member of the Weather Underground in their last days: His extremely close propinquity to Ayers and Dohrn at Columbia University in the early ‘80’s suggests that he knew them there, and the fact that he followed them to Chicago and went to work at the same law firm as Dohrn spells C-O-L-L-A-B-O-R-A-T-I-O-N from a loooong time ago, in my book...

After reading that, do you often wonder just how distorted a view of the world we are REALLY seeing?

I can’t go to England, Germany, Iraq, etc....

I have to rely on first hand internet accounts or 43rd hand emails to know what is happening. I know that I cannot trust a single word the MSM puts out. THink about that. That is about 95 % of what we see on TV, hear on the radio, or read in print.

Really makes me wonder what the world is really like out there.

Reads like one of Walter Duranty’s Pulitzer winning artricles about Joe Stalin in the 1930s.

Our First Affirmative-Action President

Barack Obama has led the unquestioned life. American society has given Obama opportunities he did not earn. We have allowed Obama to serve himself, and never required him to serve anything greater than himself (filing a mandatory selective-service card is not national service), and have produced the OBAman, the American Left’s latest version of übermensch. In return, Obama sponged up the worst of Leftist thought. Now, he expects cowed Americans to continue to give him a free pass, as we have for all of his life, into the White House. Obama does not intend to govern, he intends to rule.

His Urbane Pomposity Barack Obama lectures us about subjects of which he knows nothing. He has admitted he is not a biochemist. Correct answers in biochemistry are based on reproducible results. Equivocating slicksters do not thrive long in the realm requiring reproducible results and they soon find other fields.

Unlike the rest of us, who are judged by the company we keep, Obama is allowed to befriend terrorists like William Ayres and Ayres’s wife, Clinical Associate Professor of Law Bernardine Dohrn at Northwestern University School of Law, and suffer no injury to his reputation. Obama spends twenty years listening to Rev. Jeremiah Wright preach hate and racism. But, Obama would have us believe, Wright delivered his racist, anti-white, and anti-American jeremiads only on the Sundays Obama was absent or when Obama was napping. Contrast this with Obama Fellow Travelers posting claims that McCain is a traitor. Obama’s convicted friend Rezko partially funds the Obamas home purchase and the media never discuss the connection of Rezko to Obama.

Biden stated during the debate, "The past is prologue." While this isn't always true of events; it often is true of human behavior. Look, for example, at recidivism rates. Obama's life is filled with reckless radicals. Obama will bring those reckless radicals with him to the White House, if he is elected in November.

If the Left can force us to tolerate race-based opportunities and promotions, we can object. Obama uses his race as an excuse and a shield. We don’t care about his race; we don’t like Obama’s policies. The Left should stop using Obama’s race as a cover for those policies they favor, policies that have been disastrous everywhere they have been implemented.

An interesting ploy by McCain in the upcoming debate would be to say: “Sen. Obama, I will forfeit two minutes of MY time so that you can discuss your full relationship with Bill Ayers, the ‘60s radical bomber who you have worked with on the Annenburg Challenge and who hosted the launching party for your political career, but who you claim is little more to you than a ‘guy in the neighborhood.’ I will give up my time so you can clarify that situation for us. The American people deserve to know.”

Because of McCain's feckless and "bipartisan friendly" campaign to this point, the likely voter are not aware of Obama's highly questionable connections to Marxists, terrorists, Hamas operatives, Black Liberationists and other extreme leftists.

McCain has just announced that he's going to take the gloves off and wage a much tougher campaign from here on out.

Because of his "Mr Nice Guy" campaign up till now, he will now look desperate if he tries to finally label Obama as an extremist. Obama will no doubt capitalize on this fact.

McCain's Achilles heel will turn out to be his bipartisan streak and his lack of fundamental conservative principles.

Fantastic, it’s about time we pulled the covers off this smoke and mirrors job. We need to get this in the liberal media and have them start answering and ducking questions about his relationship with Ayers. This could be the tip of the iceberg and force some real hard questions to be finally asked of the shill for socialism that is Obomba....oops, I mean Obama.
