Obama’s chickens....
Have come home to roost.

[libs_kma]

He didn't know Ayers was a terrorist, he didn't know Rev Wright was a race baiting America hater.

Did that fool live with blinders on for over 20 years of his life? I'm not buying one bit of it.

I think if McCain or Palin put it out there like that for the American people to decide, they would probably wonder too why Obama associates with one America Hater after another and "doesn't know anything about it".

It seems to me that require a willing suspension of disbelief.

This is a nice summary. Too bad Obama never was seen in the vicinity of an Alaskan Independence Party meeting, because the MSM would absolutely fry him for that.

[Maverick68]

Obama is human garbage.

Has Amanada Carpenter come back into the fold?

[“He did not write a blurb for his book,” Burton said. “He did not.”

Contrary to what Burton said, a December 1997 article from the Chicago Tribune contains a statement from Obama describing Ayers’ book as “A searing and timely account of the juvenile court system, and the courageous individuals who rescue hope from despair.”]

Well, it appears he did not. . .is this written on book cover? OR. ..was he offering his opinion. He should be held accountable; but 'we' need to be specific.

A month before Obama’s flattering blurb was published, Obama participated in a panel about the juvenile justice system hosted by the University of Chicago and organized by Obama’s wife Michelle, then-Associate Dean of Student Services and Director of the University Community Service Center.

This wasn't just any panel...Ayers was invited by Michelle and Barack spoke there:

Michelle Obama organized a University of Chicago panel about Bill Ayers's crime book in November 1997, just as the battle over the juvenile justice bill was heating up. That panel featured appearances by some of the key figures discussed in Ayers's book, along with Obama himself, who was identified in the press release as "working to block proposed legislation that would throw more juvenile offenders into the adult system." In effect, then, this public event was a joint Obama-Ayers effort to sink the juvenile justice bill-Obama's decision to plug Ayers's book in the Chicago Tribune the following month was part of the same political effort.

So...their denials don't cut it. Here is a screen shot from the University Website:

Absolutely. And we have to keep in mind that Ayers and his ties to Obama are news to at least half of the country.

None of this matters now. John McCain has blown it. He should NEVER have been the Republican candidate. First, he’s not a conservative. I am not sure he’s even a Republican. Well, maybe a RINO. Second, he just has no fight in him. What a complete wimp!
I have mentioned this Ayers connection to people and they say...who? The media just won’t cover anything that will make Obama look bad. It’s just like Clinton. When they love a candidate, they go all out for him. It’s sickening but what can you do?

[discipler]

OBAMA = ACORN = RADICAL NUTS

[igoramus08]

Is there anything in this book by Ayers that Obama lauded that says anything about Ayers Weathermen or is acts? That then would establish a "when did he know".

[cookcounty]

Obama probably didn't write the review. Probably Ayers wrote it and got Obama to put his name to it. In all the linguistic analysis fever, this should be looked at.

Obama to Palin: 'Don't Mock the Constitution' (Washington Post September 9, 2008 Peter Slevin)

"My position has always been clear: If you've got a terrorist, take him out," Obama said. "Anybody who was involved in 9/11, take 'em out."

BULLSTALIN

This from a man who befriended a terrorist who bombed the Pentagon back in the 1970s. Hey Barry, when are you gonna "take out" Bill Ayers? You lying Marxist scumbag.

BUSTED — PING!

“He did not write a blurb for his book,” Burton said. “He did not.”

Contrary to what Burton said, a December 1997 article from the Chicago Tribune contains a statement from Obama ...[snip]

[The most unreliable ping list in the forum. Want off? Please feel free to cuss me out. Want on my ping list? Just ‘ax’.]

He didn’t know that you probably weren’t a Christian as a child if you were never baptised by your atheist mother and your non-observant muslim fathers, if you studied the koran at school, if you are pleased after being named after your Catholic turned muslim grandfather (who adopted the new name on his conversion), and if you are proud that you can still recite the Islamic call to prayer in Arabic.

People are known to TRADE blurbs for their books too. Praise the man but ignore the text itself. And yes, it can all be handled through a publicist.

[kinghorse]

This should sink Obama. He pulled a Clinton. It’s not the original sin, although that’s bad enough. It’s the fact he’s lying to cover up his association that should sink him if the MSM do their jobs. He didn’t lie under oath, but there’s an emerging body of evident coming out that he certainly lied in statements regarding his associations with Ayers. To that snot nosed brat ended up being a player in politics in Chicago because of his trust fund. Makes my blood boil. Ayers is the worst kind of troublemaking trash.

[Holicheese]

Last night during the debate, I swear Obama said, “Some of you might remember 9/11...” (might or may not sure which word he used)

As if it was just a short story in the NYTs or MSNBC.

Its not like, some of you might remember the 1972 Super Bowl, or some of you might remember the show Good Times.

[massgopguy]

I have a question. Why does William Ayers want to be pals with Obama? The only difference between Ayers and Timothy McVeigh is the Body Count.
