Great article by Kurtz. The Times is trying to run interference against the McCain/Palin attacks against Obama.

What is your first maxim? Sell papers? Sell advertising? Sell out America? Well the first two aren't working. The MSM is going bankrupt because at least half the country isn't buying their papers along with their BS. Still the forge ahead.

Good catch. Shane probably has connections with David Axelrod.

"Most remarkably of all, Shane seems to paper over the results of his own questioning. On the one hand, toward the end of the piece we read: 'Since 2002, there is little public evidence of their relationship.' And it’s no wonder, says Shane, since Ayers was caught expressing no regret for his own past terrorism in an article published on September 11, 2001. Yet earlier in Shane’s article we learn that, according to Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt, Obama and Ayers 'have not spoken by phone or exchanged e-mail messages since Mr. Obama began serving in the United States Senate in January 2005.' Very interesting. Obama’s own spokesman has just left open the possibility that there has indeed been phone and e-mail contact between the two men between 2002 and 2004, well after Ayers’ infamous conduct on 9/11. Yet instead of pursuing this opening, Shane ignores the findings of his own investigation and covers for Obama.

The New York Times in the tank for Obama? You bet. And sinking deeper every day."

They need hammer away against this duplicity every day on the campaign trail.

Here is one NYT related:

NY Times Front pg. (3 Articles Mention Palins Daughter)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2072897/posts

It doesn’t include the NYT rejecting McCain’s op-ed. That is strong evidence too.

What do you expect? The lefist NY Times agrees with Ayer’s goal, just not his former means.

Life must really be difficult for Ayers these days with reporters from every MSM outlet in the country banging on his door demanding an interview.

It’s hilarious that the Times changed the title of the article after it was posted. Mask slipping a bit there, Pinch?

The NYTimes is desperately trying to preempt a McCain attack on the Ayers issue on Tuesday. Will it work?”

It is deflection and pre-emtion but it helps us if we bring up more details - WRITE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ON THIS TOPIC. CORRECT THE RECORD ON THE NEW YORK TIMES. POINT OUT THAT AYERS I UNREPETENT. POINT OUT THE LINKS ARE NOT CASUAL BUT THEY WORKED TOGETHER FOR YEARS.

And ondt forget to bring up other socialist/leftist radical roots:

1. Obama’s Father Was a Socialist

2. Obama’s Mother Was a Communist Sympathizer
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/front_page/jb26aa01.html

Below is link to info on Scott Shane, the NYT reporter who has just written the apologia/inoculation for Obama in regard to Bill Ayers - which media outlets have pantingly embraced.

It seems that Mr. Shane of the NYT has previous experience in the apologia art: including the instance of JOE WILSON of PALME fame.

The fundraiser at Ayer’s house is the most damning evidence. All Palin/the McCain camp need cite is that fundraiser ‘coffee’ event and let people come to the obvious conclusion. That’s a bit more than a distant relationship and shows how willing Obama was to accept the support and join in his efforts at ‘education’ to affect public policy. They just need to cite the evidence which does no good to this attempt to cover up this red flag.

These outright lies need to be tried in public. The McCain campaign should make it an issue because when they are literally going that far to lie about things that are proven with evidence, it is an issue.

The NYT times opened the door. Ayers-Obama “only 8 yrs old” (when Ayers was a terrorist) won’t cut the mustard. BIRDS OF A FEATHER indoctrinate and cheat together. Does Obama know anything about domestic terrorism? If not, he can ck w/Ayers on that who would do it again if he had the chance! Barack OBomba.

They’re going to call McCain “mean” if he brings up domestic terrorist ties to Obomba. Obomba is a POS.

Technicalities. He might never have "organized" (whatever that is on any given day), but he was ACORN's lawyer.
