"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.
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.
