Obama campaign rejects Palin 'terrorist' jibe
CNN ^ | 10/5/2008

Posted on 10/05/2008 7:00:46 AM PDT by markomalley

Barack Obama's campaign has quickly rejected Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's claim that he associated "with terrorists who targeted our own country."

Palin attacked Sen. Obama on Saturday for his brief political relationship with Bill Ayers, a founding member of the radical Weather Underground which was involved in several bombings in the early 1970s, including the Pentagon and the Capitol. Obama was eight years old at the time of bombings.

Obama and Ayers, now a university professor, have met several times since 1995, when both worked with a non-profit group trying to raise funds for a school improvement project and a charitable foundation. CNN's review of project records found nothing to suggest anything inappropriate in the volunteer projects in which the two men were involved.

Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said the two had not spoken by phone or exchanged e-mail messages since Obama came to the U.S. Senate in 2005 and last met more than a year ago when they encountered each other on the street in a Chicago neighborhood where both live.

Brief? You mean like his "brief" relationship with Wright, Rezko, et al?

Sorry Hussein, it's not playing with us bitter clinging gun owners anymore.

Gee, no mention of the political fund raiser Ayers held for Obammy IN HIS OWN HOUSE!!!

Way to cover the entire story, CNN.

What she said was true, but her delivery was pretty clumsy, and I question whether it is going to help McCain. More likely hurt him.

Truth hurts doesn’t it, Senator.

I think this is a phrase that we need to say over and over again.

I’ve seen some posts here that indicate William Ayers was Obama’s ghost writer.

They’ve made a statemet that they’ve had no contact since 2005. I think that can be refuted.

IMO, this is a strategy whereas Palin instigates Obama on a daily basis until he fires back with a personal attack.

And then they can NUKE him with Wright.
