Yes, we need to stay cool.

I agree with Frum’s sentiments. All of this should have been harped about long ago, now it just appears childish and desperate. But I guess that’s all McCain’s got left in the play-book. His economic programs are just smaller versions of Obama’s socialism.

No David,

The “negative” campaigning is working and needs to continue. Our backs are against the wall, and we have to create enough doubt about this monster to tip 3-4% of the electorate back towards McCain.

American know John McCain and know he isnt Bush.

David Frum obviously knows very little about the vile history of his buddy Obama, or he wouldn’t be flapping his gums in such a manner.

Really? Did you read the entire piece? While I don’t think Ayers is really something to keep harping on WITHOUT a positive message too, it is also not something one should dismiss because it ties into Obama’s views, including his ideas about this country, taxes, and economics.
The market falling was started by Fannie and Freddie, and that was due to what? That’s right..leftest social engineering to give poor people, mostly minorities, home loans they couldn’t afford. See...social views tie into the economics.

Damn right they are working, also McCain is talking about Fannie and Freddie now and offering his ideas on the solution....something he proposed years ago when he saw this disaster coming down the road.

This needs BARF alert - in my opinion.

REMEMBER:
"Wright"
"Odinga"
"Ayers"
"Alinsky"
“Pfleger”
"Marshall"
"Farrakhan"
“ACORN”
“Wade Rathke”

funny that it is the NY/Beltway elits who don’t see how ties to Ayers are hurting Obama?

Shut up Frum! McCain cannot “win” this election, he must make Obama lose.

This discourse needs to continue for a couple of reasons, not the least of which is overcoming voter apathy which is why the Republicans gave up the House in 2006.

We need to get as many Republicans out to vote as possible.

The connection with Obama to Ayres/Dohrn is an important distinction because it points to Obama’s willingness to use anyone for his own personal gain, including non-repentent domestic terrorists.

Good thing he’s still got his acorn, because Jesse wants his nuts.

This guy is dead wrong.

The media has not told the truth about Hussein's background.

So the truth has to come out in other ways, and sometimes passion is needed to convey truth to the millions of dead and dull brains out there.

It should be out there. The media has totally ignored it. I speak every day to people who have NEVER heard of Ayers, ACORN (until they got busted and couldn't be kept off the news.), the Berg case--nothing except the glowing tributes of the cable newsies.

When they hear it, some are furious because they had not been told--Ayers and his attitude towards the US goes a long way to explaining Obama's standing onstage with Hillary and others saluting the flag while he stands with hands folded in front of him.

McCain and the others are wrong on the economy--according to free marketers the govt. should have kept hands off the handout. McCain should be bullying for business tax cuts, investment rates lowered (Tax on investments) and drilling to create new jobs and wealth. American workers would respond big time to that, and billionaires would get off their money and start investing again instead of waiting to see what govt. is going to do.

I keep thinking of Ludwig von Mises comment to the effect that a market in chaos needs to let the market forces work. When govt intervenes, the problem drags on and ultimately causes a complete meltdown of both markets and currency---sound remotely like anything we are seeing now?

Just the other day 0bama actually said “the acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
This ought to be in McCain ads tying 0bama to ACORN.
