Obama Campaign Pleads Ignorance
johnmccain ^ | Michael Goldfarb

Posted on 10/06/2008 11:27:35 AM PDT by flyfree

Does Barack Obama truly expect the American people to believe that he had no idea about his friend’s past as the infamous founder of the domestic terror group ‘The Weather Underground’ or is he just lying? If Obama didn't know in 1995 about the bombings Ayers was responsible for, when did he find out -- because Obama was promoting Ayers' book in 1997, serving on boards with him until 2002, and trading emails and phone calls with him as recently as 2005. If Obama really was unaware of Ayers' radical past, learning the truth doesn't seem to have had any effect on their friendship. Whether Barack Obama is lying to voters about his previous support for higher taxes on the middle class, his votes against funds for American troops in the field or his associations with an unrepentant terrorist, voters are left wondering who Obama is and what he stands for."

There's a GREAT commercial right there!

Either he's lying about all these items or...

He's so clueless that he that he doesn't realize the gravity of all the dealings he's had!

Either way, he should be TOAST!

“Nobody thought this was possible when YURI was interviewed a year ago.”

That was 1985; not a year ago. (For most of us that is; have you been tripping around the galaxy for a while??)

Obama knows it all, except when he doesn’t.

Mr. Obama also fit in at Hyde Park’s fringes, among university faculty members like Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, unrepentant members of the radical Weather Underground that bombed the United States Capitol and the Pentagon to protest the Vietnam War. Mr. Obama was introduced to the couple in 1995 at a meet-and-greet they held for him at their home, aides said.

Now, along with Mr. Obama’s former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., Mr. Ayers has become a prime exhibit in the effort by Mr. Obama’s presidential rivals to highlight what could be politically radioactive associations. In 2001, Mr. Ayers said he did not regret the Weatherman bombings. Even so, in Hyde Park, he and his wife were viewed favorably for their work in addressing city problems. Mr. Ayers was just “a guy who lives in my neighborhood,” Mr. Obama said recently.

The two men were involved in efforts to reform the city’s education system. They appeared together on academic panels, including one organized by Michelle Obama to discuss the juvenile justice system, an area of mutual concern. Mr. Ayers’s book on the subject won a rave review in The Chicago Tribune by Mr. Obama, who called it “a searing and timely account.”

“Obama didn’t know alot of things.
He didn’t know that his pastor or 22 years, and close personal friend, is a race baiting, anti-American lunatic.
He didn’t know that his long time close associate William Ayers is a terrorist.
He didn’t know that Rezko was breaking the law.
He didn’t know these significant things about people very close to him, yet he claims to know what is best for this country?

Either he is a lying sack of —— and he knew about these things all along, in which case he is unfit to be the Chief Executive, or he had no idea that those closest to him were despicable America-hating lunatics, in which case he is unfit to be the Chief Executive. God help us if he wins.”

Hi All! The post above by Freeper Frankiep were the words of Rudy this morning on FOX! Rudy sure laid it out about Obama this morning, and sure a video of it will be up soon!

Yesterday I added a couple more things “Obama doesn’t know”
to Freeper Frankiep’s list at post # 18, but Frankiep sure gets the credit for his words making it out for ALL to hear!
Way to go Frankiep!

I would have like to have seen Rudy say that!

Let’s hope that McCain says something similar tonight.

Bet someone else on FR will beat me to it since we have such a great group of “news geter outers” here on FR! Rudy sure used your words almost exactly, and I was kind of wondering if maybe you were Rudy!! :) You should be making ads for the McCain/Palin ticket! Way to go! :)

Tom Brokaw is the moderator tonight. It remains to be seen how much of a sock he'll be able to shove into McCain's mouth.

I'm betting on McCain to sock it to Brokaw.

You left out the Joyce Foundation and Annenberg... you know, the one who got money for public schools that didn’t see a dime? ACORN did though.
