Associated Press: A Full Court Press Against Sarah Palin

Politics | Sun, Oct 5, 2008 at 6:52:12 pm PDT

They’re relentless.

The latest Associated Press masterpiece of journalistic malpractice: a headline that goes right to the edge of saying Sarah Palin called Barack Obama a terrorist (which she did not): Palin defends terrorist comment against Obama.

They’re parroting Obama campaign propaganda, word for word, and doing everything they can to minimize William Ayers’ terrorist acts.

But while Ayers and Obama are acquainted, the charge that they “pal around” is a stretch of any reading of the public record. And it’s simply wrong to suggest that they were associated while Ayers was committing terrorist acts. Obama was 8 years old at the time the Weather Underground claimed credit for numerous bombings and was blamed for a pipe bomb that killed a San Francisco policeman.

Can you spot the world’s biggest straw man in that highlighted sentence?

Question to the American people:

Q. Would you hang around someone who bombed our Pentagon and other places on American soil, no matter how long ago they did it, if they were not sorry and said they wished they had done more of it?

10 Mich-again  Sun, Oct 5, 2008 6:57:03pm

Sarah Palin never ever said Obama and Ayers were buddies while Ayers was committing terrorist acts.

But they were definitely buddies while Ayers was still publicly defending his terrorist acts. And stomping on American flags.

I noticed the straw-man back when you first told us about the article. No one said Obama was affiliated with a terrorist when he committing terrorist acts. Obama has just shown poor judgment in not thinking those associations with an unrepentant terrorist reflects on him. I'm sorry, but my disdain for the MSM and the AP is turning into full-blown hate for the fact that they have no problem lying to the public and shilling for a candidate while telling us they are objective.

20 Cicero05  Sun, Oct 5, 2008 6:58:47pm

I like the other Obama talking point on Ayres and Wright too. It's all GUILT BY ASSOCIATION. (Thank you, Alan Colmes.)

As if the people with whom one chooses to associate have absolutely nothing to do with revealing one's values.

I'd love to hear how the Leftards screaming "guilt by association!" about Obama and his terrorist friends would react if John McCain started hanging out with someone like David Duke. The "guilt by association" meme would disappear so fast your head would spin.

21 Ruthless  Sun, Oct 5, 2008 6:59:04pm

The stinking mess that surrounds Obama is starting to ooze out and there is no way the MSM can cover it all up fast enough. The next month will be interesting because the "fluffy bunny" is going to lead the charge and the Captain is going to follow through with the bomb run. McCain is not stupid. He has let Obama and his ranks of Obamatons run rampant for several months, just giving them more rope. Now there are enough horror stories around Obama to bring one out every single day until November 4. The more they deny and the MSM tries to cover up, the more potential voters will start to smell the problem. I just sent a second $250 to the McCain-Palin campaign, and I know the money will be well spent.

I wonder what the time limit is?

Osama bin Hidin hasn't committed a terrorist attck on American soil for more than 7 years. Does he only have 25 years so to go before prospective Presidents can pal around with him?

Ayers went from being an unsuccessful terrorist to using his family's wealth to warp the minds of youth. He's FAR more dangerous now than he was then.

Are they stupid?

But while Ayers and Obama are acquainted, the charge that they “pal around” is a stretch of any reading of the public record. And it’s simply wrong to suggest that they were associated while Ayers was committing terrorist acts. Obama was 8 years old at the time the Weather Underground claimed credit for numerous bombings and was blamed for a pipe bomb that killed a San Francisco policeman.

So they admit 0bama and Ayers have a relationship and continue by citing the terrorist record against the Weatherman.

By trying to get 0bama off the hook they're actually confirming the story. BRILLIANT!

What would Joe biden say if John McCain had had an

with James earl Ray ?

33 Catttt  Sun, Oct 5, 2008 7:03:24pm

Barry's initial remark - when he said that "just a little boy when he tried to kill people with bombs" - about Bill Ayers included that he (Barry) knew him from the neighborhood. This implies they met at the Super Saver shopping for aragula or whatever.

34 DoubleU  Sun, Oct 5, 2008 7:03:32pm

I really don't think it makes much of a difference there are people that are so angry that they don't care what Obama's plans are as long as the Republicans are defeated. Then there are those that know EXACTLY what type of person Obama is and want that form of government. And then there are those that don't believe that type of person can exist.

35 jaunte  Sun, Oct 5, 2008 7:03:55pm

Well - I just finished watching Hannity's America. Let the chips fall where they may, Sarah, they can call you what they like: YOU HAVE A COMPELLING CASE TO MAKE based on what I just saw. It is a total straw man argument and they know they are vulnerable on this issue that is why they are playing the race card.

It is kind of similar to what Islamic Jihadists do to people like Wilders, Spencer or even Rushdie - how dare you confront us with our own words you lying #@%*! The truth in this case will shine throught but it has to be repeated over and over until everyone hears the truth about Hussein - as Jeremiah Wright likes to call him.

Yes. Exactly.

That said, standing on the American flag is a very recent event, concurrent with his pal status.

Where's the McCain ad featuring that photo?

We need a montage of Wright, Ayers, and quotations from Alinsky...followed by, "I'm Sarah Palin, and I totally approved this message."

42 Arbalest  Sun, Oct 5, 2008 7:05:53pm

Obama was a 30-something adult when he started palling around with Ayres, a man who had built and planted bombs years before, but never repudiated his actions or atoned for them.

For some reason, the AP avoids this elementary connection, in much the same way two magnets, with their south poles facing each other, behave.

With enough force, the two magnets can be made to align, side-by-side, into a larger magnet.

The AP needs to see similar force, to finally publish the Larger Truth.

46 mamashawna  Sun, Oct 5, 2008 7:06:30pm

Ok, all you Puget Sound Lizards (and everyone else) I just got back from a weekend of camping at Oysterfest in Shelton, Wa. There is a large group of us that get together every year, drink lots of beer, eat lots of oysters,enjoy the fair, and camp out for a few days (very wet and muddy this year...yahoo!). Anyway, one of our group is an older guy who flies down from Alaska every year. We were asking him what he thought of his governor being on the ticket, and he told us the weirdest thing of all was that Sarah used to babysit his son, and he used to hunt with her dad! Now I have no reason not to believe he is filling us full of crap, has always seemed pretty straightforward to us. Also told us he was in Wasilla about a week ago, and her house is surrounded by six patrol cars, and a coast guard boat out in the water. Says the town has been pretty much turned upside down with all the reporters, etc. He said his wife was really excited about her, and he didn't have a problem what-so-ever with Sarah as VP. I was wearing a sweatshirt that I made last week that says 'My Favorite Pitbull' with a picture of Sarah shooting the rifle, the one of her holding Trig at the convention, an official campaign photo, and a photoshop of an old WWII poster with her face on it that says 'We can do it!', which kind of got the conversation started. Pretty interesting, all in all. Wet, fun-filled weekend of oysters and beer!

47 A Kiwi Infidel  Sun, Oct 5, 2008 7:07:22pm

I just hope and pray that Sarah, having picked up the ball and started running, does not drop it, nor agrees to drop it under pressure. She has made a valid point, verifiable if any journo worth their salt is prepared to double check.

Stay focussed Sarah.

But, I would caution Sarah on continuing to suggest that a "2 state solution is the solution to middle east tension"

During her stop in California, Palin was asked about an Associated Press analysis that said her charge about Ayers was unsubstantiated, a point made by other news organizations, and the criticism carried a "racially tinged subtext that McCain may come to regret."

re: #8 Alouette

He's been under the bus since Hillary first spotted the creep in Obama's background. However, the fact remains that no one in the media truly analyzed the situation other than to claim simply that they were ships passing in the night despite clear periods of time when both worked in close coordination with each other at CAC and Woods.

No one is saying that Obama knew Ayers when Ayers was busy throwing actual bombs. What people (myself included) are saying is that Obama knew Ayers when Obama was old enough to know, or have reason to know of Ayers past, and continued to have associations with him for years - and never had reason to question that association.

Oh, Obama might question it now that some folks are raising it as an issue - but he's got the media downplaying the situation.

The fact that academics (including two from my alma maters) and the Chicago machine didn't have a problem signals that both didn't have any reason to question the appearance of an unrepentant terrorist in their midst.

The only thing that Ayers regrets is that he didn't carry out enough bombings. Now, he's poisoning another generation of youth in his leftist ways. And academics and the media are right there with him every step of the way.

"And it’s simply wrong to suggest that they were associated while Ayers was committing terrorist acts. "


Tellyourfriends,tellyourneighbors,tellyourfamilies the truth

(DAMN SPACEBAR!)

Tell them what the media they are watching *didn't* tell them. I just did. Spam everyone that's ever been an email recipient from some of your family/friends spam.

Palin never said they we're associated in the sixties...they *were* collaborationg for three years together on a project until sometime at the end of 2001. Ayers was in Time magazine of some newspaper after 9/11...standing on the American flag, saying he was unrepentant about his terrorism.

Obama was still on the same foundations board, this is still the same guy house where Obama had his first political fundraiser...no?

Then ask them what else they "know" . . .

Ask them how Obama could sit in Reverend Wright's church for twenty years, and *not* know what he was preaching.

It's not that Rezko's a slumlord, it's that Obama so obviously connected with Rezko for the money connection...Ask your friends and family...if someone is in it to gain power, where is the easiest source to raise money? Ask them if they know about the lot next to Obama's house...Here is a man that can be bought, and a man that can be bought has no principles...

You can't entrust a man with power that can be bought off...

Ask them if they read blogs, if they don't read at least *this* blog, they are missing the truth...(point them to Instapundit too)

It's shocking how badly the media are in the tank for Obama...they're the attention-whores engaging in drama for their own renumeration.

Ask them if they know the name of Obama's economic advisor that was the resigned Fannie Mae CEO...no?

J.D. (#54),

Can someone 'splain that to me?

See down a couple threads to an earlier AP article piece of crap:

Palin’s words avoid repulsing voters with overt racism. But is there another subtext for creating the false image of a black presidential nominee “palling around” with terrorists while assuring a predominantly white audience that he doesn’t see their America?

In a post-Sept. 11 America, terrorists are envisioned as dark-skinned radical Muslims, not the homegrown anarchists of Ayers’ day 40 years ago. With Obama a relative unknown when he began his campaign, the Internet hummed with false e-mails about ties to radical Islam of a foreign-born candidate.

Got that?

As the article notes, Michelle Obama was the Director of the University Of Chicago’s Community Service program at the time. So this was surely her doing.

Still, we all must be mistaken, since we have been repeatedly reassured that Mr. Ayers “was just a guy who lived in the Obamas’ neighborhood.”

Obama is campaigning on the ticket, "Hope and Change" and the people have no idea what that means.

132 HelloDare  Sun, Oct 5, 2008 7:23:58pm

In case you missed this on the Top Rated Spinoff Links.

The Ayers "We Were Just Trying To Do Property Damage" Lie

[I]n 1970[,] three of [Ayers'] confederates, including his then girlfriend Diana Oughton, were accidentally killed when the explosive they were building to Ayers specifications (Ayers was a bomb designer) went off during construction. As noted in Ayers' Discover the Networks profile, the explosive had been a nail bomb. Back when Ayers was being more honest about his intentions, he admitted that the purpose of that bomb had been to murder United States soldiers:


That bomb had been intended for detonation at a dance that was to be attended by army soldiers at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Hundreds of lives could have been lost had the plan been successfully executed. Ayers attested that the bomb would have done serious damage, "tearing through windows and walls and, yes, people too."

In fact, Ayers was a founder of the Weatherman terror group and he defined its purpose as carrying out murder. Again, from Discover the Networks:

Characterizing Weatherman as "an American Red Army," Ayers summed up the organization's ideology as follows: "Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, Kill your parents."

Obama was not 8 years old in 2004. But his relationship with Bill Ayers, by that time, was 8+ years old.

Indeed their most fierce critics are 2 former SDS presidents Carl Oglesby a self described left leaning libertarian and Todd Gitlin a social democrat. I rarely have any praise for people on the left of the political spectrum but Todd Gitlin sure earned my respect as he hits the nail on the head in regards to Ayers and Dohrn. This video is a must see it reveals just how extremely dangerous these Weather freaks are. Ayers and Dohrn are so radical that they make Jane Fonda look like Betsy Ross in comparison. No Joke.

Characterizing Weatherman as "an American Red Army," Ayers summed up the organization's ideology as follows: "Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, Kill your parents."

Now that Ayers is a rich person, with a big house and a luxury car, shouldn't he kill himself? Since he has lots more money than I do, is it OK for me to kill him? Hmm, no, because killing is wrong. Is it OK for me to paste a McCain/Palin sticker on his car over the spot where I keyed it? Hmmm, no, property damage is wrong even though he probably believes "property is theft."

So I will just have to settle for calling Ayers a hypocritical asshole.

I graduated nearly 50 years ago from what was then the top rated journalism school, and in that time journalism was proud of the progress it had made from the Yellow Journalism days. We were taught fairness, balance, check and double check. All that has died, gone straight down the toilet and it is just such a shame for America.

The name Herb Kohl caught my attention. There happens to be a US Senator from WI named Herb Kohl, which is why it stuck out. No way to know if the person who signed the petition online and the US Senator are one in the same.

In digging deeper, it is more likely this Herb Kohl, who had Ayers write the forward for Kohl's book. Several in fact.

It was in the course of running down who Herb Kohl was, that I happened upon the fact that Bill Ayers apparently has a blog. But curiously omits his Weather Underground terrorist past from his CV. HEH!

I've been interviewed for one when a friend was applying for a higher clearance. It was very thorough.

When my father was getting his Q and N my mother and I were interviewed. When they asked us if he would ever support communistic activities, we both looked at each other and burst out laughing. They asked us why everyone they asked that question of started laughing. We simply said, "You must not know him at all if you're asking that"

Who knew Bernardine Dohrn was a football fan? Hook 'em horns!


(excerpt)

Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1942, Bernardine Dohrn is currently an Associate Professor of Law at Northwestern University, where she is also Director of the Legal Clinic's Children and Family Justice Center. Moreover, she sits on important committees and boards of the American Bar Association and the American Civil Liberties Union.

In the 1960s, Dohrn was a leader of the Students for a Democratic Society's "Weatherman" faction, which in 1969 went underground to become America's first terrorist cult. At a 1969 "War Council" in Flint, Michigan, Dohrn gave her most memorable and notorious speech to her followers. Holding her fingers in what became the Weatherman "fork salute," she said of the bloody murders recently committed by the Manson Family in which the pregnant actress Sharon Tate and a Folgers Coffee heiress and several other inhabitants of a Benedict Canyon mansion were brutally stabbed to death: "Dig it! First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork into the victim's stomach! Wild!" The "War Council" ended with a formal declaration of war against "AmeriKKKa," always spelled with three K's to signify the United States' allegedly ineradicable white racism.

The Ayers "We Were Just Trying To Do Property Damage" Lie

[I]n 1970[,] three of [Ayers'] confederates, including his then girlfriend Diana Oughton, were accidentally killed when the explosive they were building to Ayers specifications (Ayers was a bomb designer) went off during construction. As noted in Ayers' Discover the Networks profile, the explosive had been a nail bomb. Back when Ayers was being more honest about his intentions, he admitted that the purpose of that bomb had been to murder United States soldiers:

The only difference between Ayers and Tim McVeigh is that McVeigh had more skill.

I was sad to hear from a good friend, very smart, master's in economics who has been a Democrat that he thinks there will be no difference who is elected President. He said he will not vote for the N***** and thus intends not to vote at all. Well, at least that is one less vote for Obama, but it would be better if he voted for McCain. I will keep working on him, but he is a tough nut. It continues to surprise me to encounter people like that that are just so blase and ignorant about what is happening. Too bad more people don't get to listen, lurk, learn and even sometimes post on LGF.

He actually used the 'n-word' term? Screw him. I'd rather not have him vote on my team anyway, quite frankly. And any of my friends who use that term ... well I guess I don't have any since I wouldn't be friends with a racist.

IOW: Your friend doesn't sound very smart to me.

re: #170 lawhawk

The name Herb Kohl caught my attention. There happens to be a US Senator from WI named Herb Kohl, which is why it stuck out. No way to know if the person who signed the petition online and the US Senator are one in the same.

In digging deeper, it is more likely this Herb Kohl, who had Ayers write the forward for Kohl's book. Several in fact.

It was in the course of running down who Herb Kohl was, that I happened upon the fact that Bill Ayers apparently has a blog. But curiously omits his Weather Underground terrorist past from his CV. HEH!

...Three days after a mostly gaffe-free debate performance, the Alaska governor fumbled during a speech in which she praised U.S. soldiers for “fighting terrorism and protecting us and our democratic values”.

“They are also building schools for the Afghan children so that there is hope and opportunity in our neighboring country of Afghanistan,” she told several hundred supporters at a fundraising event in San Francisco.

The gaffe could add fuel to comedians and late-night talk show hosts who have seized on her linguistic infelicities to portray her as someone not to be taken seriously. ...

...Palin’s opponent, Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden, has also committed high-profile gaffes, including claiming in a recent interview that President Franklin D. Roosevelt calmed fears in a TV address at the beginning of the Great Depression. There was no TV in 1929 — Roosevelt wasn’t president at the time.

Of course they meant to say "The gaffe could add fuel to comedians and late-night talk show hosts who have seized on his linguistic infelicities to portray him as someone not to be taken seriously".

They must have run out of space.

Is it OK for me to paste a McCain/Palin sticker on his car over the spot where I keyed it? Hmmm, no, property damage is wrong even though he probably believes "property is theft."

Daniel targeted key goals for a faltering helped the McCain/Palin campaign.

It is possible that the Clinton's will soon announce that they are having reservations about supporting the Obama campaign due to assertions that have raised doubts about the candidate as a result of recent revelations regarding his ties to questionable persons. They will state that they will resume their support when the matters are resolved. The names Ayers, Rezko, and Wright will not be mentioned.

Cue Nelson Muntz, "Ha, ha."

An hour before Bruce Springsteen tickets were to be distributed for Monday's free acoustic concert at Eastern Michigan University, only 20 people were in line.

The first fan arrived from Grand Rapids at 4:30 a.m. Friday. Brad Berry, 54, has seen Springsteen about 15 times and saw Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama in May in Grand Rapids. He said he was alone until 6:30 when a second person showed up. And they were alone until 7:30.

All said they were shocked that so few people were in line.

Springsteen will be the headliner at an Obama rally at Oestrike Stadium.

Once my third grader came home stating she didn't want to judge anybody. I told her emphatically that the things I was teaching her was so that she could learn how to judge people. It made sense to her.

I think there are too many people who take Jesus' words "Do not judge, or you will be judged" the wrong way. This is a problem in the New Thought Christian organization I work for ... it's gone liberal the way the Unitarian church has gone liberal, and often they refuse to make judgments about anything ... or if they do, they don't admit that's what they're doing.

I think the message is really about making unwise judgments, or snap judgments, or judgments based on pride, self-righteousness, or superiority, that kind of thing. It isn't that we should never make any kind of judgments at all.

I have no vote, I am merely a UK citizen (but ex-RAF and my Dad was Aussie, at Gallipoli). Please excuse a long post, I don't post often these days.

I have followed US elections since the Kennedy election of 1960.

I have NEVER seen anything like the venom, the spite, the outright libel that Sarah Palin has faced. Including (would you ever guess) from the BBC.

It really has made me sick to my stomach - I have daughters who are Governor Palin's age. When I have challenged this awful stuff, eg on BBC blogsites, it has been laughed off.

FUNNY ? What is funny about implying incest, about alleging that Trig is actually Bristol's baby... and all the rest?

Like I say - sick to my stomach. I feel sick even writing about it now.

From this side of the pond - the fix is well in place with the BBC. I just heard the BBC World Service main headline - Palin is under the Troopergate investigation. What on earth makes that the top world news headline ? No mention whatsoever of the Palin accusations about Bill Ayers. Obviously just a pre-emptive smear job.

For you guys over there - we are forced under law to pay $200 a year to the BBC - penalty = gaol. The BBC is required under Royal Charter to be even-handed, neutral in its news coverage.

It is TOTALLY in the tank for Obama. If you know folks who watch the BBC as "anodyne" news - tell them that millions of Brits hate the BBC bias. And remind them that our troops threw the BBC channel off HMS Ark Royal just bwefore the Iraq conflict.

I remember the good days of the BBC. The Alastair Cooke days.

I'm surrounded by people who, on an IQ scale, at least, are of above average intelligence, yet they are completely, utterly, b>clueless.

Then I try to educate them about how people can so easily manipulate facts and they go "Oh, I didn't know that...that's so interesting," then go right back to spouting the same inept MSM braincrap platitudes they were spouting before. It's all so very "invasion of the body snatchers" and it's getting rather depressing. They just don't know they're being brainwashed, then they pat themselves on the back over how informed they are because they read CNN AND MSNBC ~everyday.~

I'm told that the De-Republicanization camps will use clean coal technology on their ovens.

I read a fascinating book, "The Nazi Doctors," by Alan Jay Lifton. It was a historian's analysis of how the medical profession in Nazi Germany was deeply intertwined with the Final Solution. One fact it pointed out was that it was a physician who determined that the fat content of corpses made them a self-sustaining fuel source: once the crematorium ovens got going, the bodies themselves would keep the fires burning.

So now all they need are smokestack scrubbers and carbon sequestration, and even Al Gore would approve.

It really has made me sick to my stomach - I have daughters who are Governor Palin's age. When I have challenged this awful stuff, eg on BBC blogsites, it has been laughed off.

FUNNY ? What is funny about implying incest, about alleging that Trig is actually Bristol's baby... and all the rest?

Like I say - sick to my stomach. I feel sick even writing about it now.

From this side of the pond - the fix is well in place with the BBC. I just heard the BBC World Service main headline - Palin is under the Troopergate investigation. What on earth makes that the top world news headline ? No mention whatsoever of the Palin accusations about Bill Ayers. Obviously just a pre-emptive smear job.

For you guys over there - we are forced under law to pay $200 a year to the BBC - penalty = gaol. The BBC is required under Royal Charter to be even-handed, neutral in its news coverage.

It is TOTALLY in the tank for Obama. If you know folks who watch the BBC as "anodyne" news - tell them that millions of Brits hate the BBC bias. And remind them that our troops threw the BBC channel off HMS Ark Royal just bwefore the Iraq conflict.

I remember the good days of the BBC. The Alastair Cooke days.

For a glimpse of BBC bias - try this or the BBC North America Editor's blog, track back over the last 2 weeks' entries :

As if Ayers is the only virulent anti-American Obama had as a friend. Fleuger is a friend, and Wright is a friend, and we all know Wright is very close. He had his wife and kids sit in front of Wright presumably every Sunday. Obama financed the last two and was financed by the first.


Come on, the evidence is just over the top here. Distraction, hell, it's a serious issue when a candidate running for President of the United States of America is anti-American. His motivations are big time in question.

re: #355 MandyManners

I'd like to know what makes this bastard confiscate Jews' property during the holocaust, promote abortion as a means of B.C. througout Eastern Europe, help trash the flegdling post-Soviet Russian economy, fuck around with Western European banks and try to bring down the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Narcissistic nihilism is an ugly thing. I think that Soros hates the world for the evil that he thinks it made him participate in. He knows that he could have chosen another path, and he hates himself for having chosen the one that had allowed him to live when the other would likely have killed him.

I think that for him, it is all about hatred and revenge.

I'd stop for 10 years if they'd do that.

Hell, I would too, come to think of it.

I think Bill and Hillary have a very good idea what Obama is really all about. I'm probably reaching here, but I think it scares the sh*t out of them, as well. I gotta believe that Hillary would like to see this country still in one piece, albeit a divided one, come 2012.

Good evening.

Well the Bears won (my condolences to the Lions fans for having such an awful team again this year) and the White Sox won. All in all a pretty good day.

Look for the market to get pounded again tomorrow. Right now the Nikkei in Tokyo is down almost 400 points. This is the worst sustained down period I have seen in my 30 years of tracking this stuff.

Eventually we will hit bottom and somebody will start buying some bargains.

Ive been scooping up Amgen stock.

Go see "An American Carol". It's a nice break. Laughing makes you feel better. I needed it after seeing ACORN at our polling places.

We're on the verge of having a fricking fascist as President!

Not to mention that the federal government is about to become full-on socialist! That one senator must be really pleased.

I really think its Bounce sheets soaked in raw, organic honey. The sugar in the simple syrup is white, and therefore racist, which means its against the teachings of The ONE.

Good catch. Or one could use blackstrap molasses: might also help to counteract latent feelings of white skin privilege, even if only for a short while.

"According to the 2001 annual report of the Chicago Public Education Fund, Thomas Ayers and Barack Obama both served as members of the Fund’s Leadership Council.

Here it should be mentioned that until May 1994, when he had passed the Company’s mandatory retirement age of 75, and was therefore no longer up for re-election, Thomas G. Ayers served on the Finance Committee of the General Dynamics Corp. board of directors with Lester Crown, the largest share holder. It just so happens that Northern Trust was the trustee of the corporation’s Salaried Savings Plan and the Hourly Savings Plan overseen by the Committee.

Without question, both Tom Ayers and Lester Crown had long-standing relationships with Northern Trust and both of them had established relationships with Barack Obama that predated the 2005 loan from Northern Trust. Through William Ayers, Barack Obama had familiarity with Northern Trust dating from his time with the Woods Fund.

Which of these connections—or perhaps all of them combined—gave Sen. Obama the edge to acquire a $1.32 million mortgage when his financial history did not support it is unknown. At the very least, we do now know that Tony Rezko was not his only pathway to the world of high finance."

I've seen transcripts of interviews where he discusses his life and I think he's just a garden variety sociopath.

Just like Obama, incidentally.

re: #261 Pawn of the Oppressor

In every species there is a certain percentage of individuals who will eat their own young. We call ourselves "civilized" because we have a system to aprehend and imprison these individuals. What's happened to us when we make them fucking college professors?

THAT is the question.

re: #389 spirochete

I liked American Carol last night. My two favorites were the shooting of the ACLU undead lawyears trying to rip the ten commandments off the wall of a courtrooom, and George Washington's response to why, if his chair was so important, was it so dusty?

That last part caught me off guard. That, and the ghosts of the soldiers past at the concert -- I saw my wife tearing up at those points.

It's a very good movie -- and it's important that as many people as possible go to the theaters to see it as soon as possible.
