ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is accusing Democrat Barack Obama of "palling around with terrorists" for his association with a former 1960s radical.

Palin was referring to Bill Ayers, one of the founders of the group the Weather Underground. The group took credit for bombings, including nonfatal explosions at the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol four decades ago.

But the AP says that Obama ‘served on a board with Ayers and has denounced his activities.’

You people are just mean.

My guess is the Obama camp will try to ignore it. They probably figure if they respond it’ll just draw more attention to it.

John McCain next debate: “My friends, I want every American to google Bill Ayers and Barack Obama” Good for a 5 point swing.

LOL. He should also preface it by saying, "Since the media won't do their job...here's an easy way for to do it."

To get back to your football analogy (I love those), Obama will ignore it at first. But just like the prevent defense ignores the short-to-medium passes at first, at some point they have to do something in the red zone.

Go Baby Go!

This brings tears to my eyes.

The people that are just starting to pay attention to this election don’t know anything about Obama”s history. Those people are also now paying attention to Gov. Palin.

Go get em Sarah! Sink those teeth in and don’t let go!

If Ayers is a known terrorist, and has been for 40 years now, does it make sense that the FBI would have a dossier on any and ALL known associates?

No doubt he's been a terrorist sympathizer for most of his life, but I don't believe he's been involved in it himself since he nearly got locked up some years ago. But what he IS still today is an advocate for communist revolution. See my prior post for more on that.

From November 10, 2003:

30-Y.O. Unsolved SF Murders Reopen
[Weather Underground, Black Liberation Army, Ayers, Dohrn]

BAY AREA (KRON) -- The unsolved murder of two San Francisco police officers has languished as cold cases for 30 years until now. A federal grand jury has been looking into the murders. Many of the people now under investigation both as potential targets and witnesses in this case are scattered across the country. Many of them are now in their 50s and 60s. Investigators believe the crimes were politically motivated and committed by militant radical groups.

On August 29, 1971, sergeant John Young is killed in a barrage of gunfire when two men walk into the Ingleside police station and begin shooting at officers sitting behind the glass partition. It is the second unsolved police killing in 18 months.

On February 16, 1970, officer Brian McDonnell is killed when a bomb explodes at Park Police Station. Attorney Joe O'Sullivan, at the time was a young police officer. "It was just bedlam. I don't think we were able to get into the station. I think it was cordoned off. Nobody really knew the exact nature of the devastation," he says.

For three decades, the police murders remained unsolved. Evidence from the two crime scenes sat in the police property room.

KRON 4 News has learned that three years ago, San Francisco police secretly re-opened the case. Armed with new forensic technology and with State and Federal agencies helping, SFPD investigators began to work full-time on the murders.

And now, sources tell us, those investigators have identified potential suspects: former members of two militant groups in the '60s and '70s -- the Weather Underground and the Black Liberation Army, people who've been out of the spotlight for decades. The most prominent among them is Bernadine Dohrn, a former leader of the Weather Underground and now a law professor at Northwestern University in Illinois.

The following from wikipedia is well documented and sourced.


Sgt. Brian V. McDonnell

"In a bombing that took place on February 16, 1970, and that was credited to the Weathermen at the time,[19][20] a pipe bomb filled with heavy metal staples and lead bullet projectiles was set off on the ledge of a window at the Park Station of the San Francisco Police Department. In the blast, Brian V. McDonnell, a police sergeant, was fatally wounded while Robert Fogarty, another police officer, received severe wounds to his face and legs and was partially blinded.[21]

Weatherman leader Bernardine Dohrn has been suspected of involvement in the February 16, 1970, bombing of the Park Police Station in San Francisco. At the time, Dohrn was said to be living with a Weatherman cell in a houseboat in Sausalito, California, unnamed law enforcement sources later told KRON-TV.[22]

An investigation into the case was reopened in 1999,[23] and a San Francisco grand jury looked into the incident, but no indictments followed,[22] and no one was ever arrested for the bombing.[23]

An FBI informant, Larry Grathwohl, who successfully penetrated the organization from the late summer of 1969 until April 1970, later testified to a U.S. Senate subcommittee that Bill Ayers, then a high-ranking member of the organization and a member of its Central Committee (but not then Dohrn's husband), had said Dohrn constructed and planted the bomb. Grathwohl testified that Ayers had told him specifically where the bomb was placed (on a window ledge) and what kind of shrapnel was put in it. Grathwohl said Ayers was emphatic, leading Grathwohl to believe Ayers either was present at some point during the operation or had heard about it from someone who was there.[24]

In a book about his experiences published in 1976, Grathwohl wrote that Ayers, who had recently attended a meeting of the group's Central Committee, said Dohrn had planned the operation, made the bomb and placed it herself.[25] In 2008, author David Freddoso commented that "Ayers and Dohrn escaped prosecution only because of government misconduct in collecting evidence against them", Freddoso wrote.[24][26]

They cannot ignore it or the spin will be out of their control. The NYT may have done McCain a huge, inadvertent, favor by running that story. They meant it as a whitewash but it seems to have stoked a few fires.

Of course, they may have purposely done it now to inoculate Obama from a later October surprise

Hopefully they'll catch them in a blitz.

He Started his First campaign in Ayres HOUSE for chrissakes.

A house owned by a member of THE REVOLUTIONARY COMMUNIST PARTY.

Yet NO ONE in the media will dare say this openly, until now. Methinks somebody tipped off the NYTimes this was coming yesterday, hence the story this morning.
