Thank God the GOP is not going AWOL on us!

nothing to see here, move along

Are they just going to post it on the GOP website or shout it from the roof tops?

But Obama was only eight when Ayers did those awful things he's not sorry for and wishes he'd done more of!//

Thanks, GOP. It's about time.

Better now. . .

Just keep pounding at the stake until November 4.

Fingers crossed that it works. And isn't too late.

Ayers deserves the same as Timothy McVeigh. Doesn't matter to me that he was less successful.

*spit*

This should have been posted in this format months ago. Better late than never, I guess, but with the stakes this high...

CNN is right now reporting on Stanley Kurtz' work.

But...Obama was only 8 years old when Ayers was planting bombs! Ayers isn't planting bombs anymore, so he's not a terrorist!

This is stuff we been screaming for some time now.

They better shout it out loud and long.

And why did johnny mac wait for Palin to start it?

He'd better hammer it home now.

We musn't forget that there is strong evidence that Ayers wrote Obomber's "Dreams" book.

Thanks Charles - I am going to run this off and bring copies of it to my local Repub HQ tomorrow.

Pass em around folks!

Edgar R. Murrow would be proud.

A little slow aren't they? How many undecided voters will change their minds if they see this?

Obama On William Ayers' "A Kind And Just Parent: The Children Of Juvenile Court": "A searing and timely account of the juvenile court system, and the courageous individuals who rescue hope from despair." (Chicago Tribune, 12/21/97)

You're right mama. To many voters, all of this is new.

There is a reason the phrase "October Surprise" exists... this is the best time to let loose the dogs of war.

I for one am very concerned that the general discontent in this country may lead to a lot of "protest" votes against republicans in general at the polls.

McCain FINALLY alluded to the reasons for our economic mess today. Too little, too late?

re: #18 mama winger

yep yep...good point.

re: #28 laZardo

We don't set the record straight by keeping silent. The RNC has the money to launch an ad campaign to combat this. It helps not only McCain, but Congressional republicans too.

re: #17 Sharmuta

Yikes! 0bama likes Bomber Billy's ideas on juvenile justice, eh? That's..... disturbing, to say the least.

Doesn't Ayers basically think people shouldn't be imprisoned, ever? Some crazy-ass notion about putting violent offenders out into society for home rehab, for starters (a natural notion for him)?

Like I said, him and his wife should have been taken out back behind the proverbial woodshed decades ago. F-cking psychopath.

Better late than never

don't wait for the media

don't wait for tv ads

don't wait for the RNC

At my most optimistic, I believe this is the beginning of a carefully orchestrated campaign that will escalate over the coming weeks until we get the real bombshell -- something like Obama giving a speech that would make Rev. Wright proud. Then I get bitchslapped by reality and think, these guys got nothin'. So yeah, kinda bipolar right now.

I have been assured that Obama did not know Ayers when Ayers was planning and planting bombs...so everythings OK.

Here's a nice petition you can sign to protest the "McCarthyism" the RNC/McCain campaign is engaging in by smearing telling the truth about Ayers:

Dear friends and colleagues in the field of education,

It seems that the character assassination and slander of Bill Ayers and other people who have known Obama is not about to let up. While an important concern is the dishonesty of this campaign and the slanderous McCarthyism they are using to attack Obama, we also feel an obligation to support our friend and colleague Bill Ayers. Many, many educators have reached out, asking what they could do, seeking a way to weigh in against fear and intimidation. Many of us have been talking and we agree that this one gesture, a joint statement signed by hundreds of hard-working educators, would be a great first step. Such a statement may be distributed through press releases or ads in the future.

The Repub page unfortunately falls short of illustrating just how sick Ayers is. The world needs to throw away this notion of him being an "educator", like he's some kind of noble, caring person.

A nice little follow-up titled "What kind of person is Bill Ayers, exactly?" with a few quotes from him and his little fork-loving wife (and perhaps a link to "The Weather Underground Tried To Kill My Family"), bookended by quotes of some of Obama's praise for Ayers... That would tie it up nicely.

I think the videos showing the congressional black caucus defending Fannie/freddie and the corruption that are on youtube would be dynamite if the public saw them.

Maxine Waters of Ca telling them they must put minorities into houses even though they can't pay for them.
Trashing the republican moderator for even suggesting there was something wrong.

but of course that would be completely racist.

Perfect.

A parent at the park asked The Kid if he knew anything about this election. He piped up, "He's a Marxist who will tax everyone to death." I fell over laughing in pride.

What saddens me is that it really doesn't seem to matter what anyone finds out about Obama. WE all know that he is basically a socialist/communist/uberliberal/redistributionist. ...who will do a LOT of damage to our country; but the Bush haters are so blinded by their disgust with him that they don't care. Their vote is basically anti-Bush. I think Obama will be our next President; and that sickens me. Hopefully those 4 years will go veeery quickly. By the way, I live in Illinois; and for the life of me I cannot understand how ANYONE in this godforsaken state can vote for a democrat. they have messed up this state big time. But I guarantee Durbin will win again, as well as Daley, and probably even Blagojevich when he runs again. A lot of stupid people in Illinois, I tell ya.

I was talking to a gentleman I know recently. He and some republican buddies were out at a bar, and one of his friends was talking politics rather loudly, he said. He was trying to get his friend to lower his voice because he felt they were in a liberal bar.

I said, "Why? Why should we be quiet? Let them hear us, I'm sick of feeling like I should be ashamed of being a republican."

And that's our problem, folks. We've grown accustomed to being quiet. I say enough. Let them hear us. Speak up, speak out, be loud.

Desperate as in, this could be their last chance. If they can't fool Americans with the perfectly engineered Manchurian Candidate, they'll never take over.

re: #52 astronmr20

This is what concerns me the most. How the f**** did we get here?

We got here because the communists infiltrated first hollyweird, academia and the legal profession. When Senator Joseph R. McCarthy tried to sound the warning our ever patriotic members of the democrat party betrayed him for political gain and his warning was portrayed as a Salem styled witch hunt. Our public schools under the democrat leadership have become nothing more than socialist/communist indoctrination centers for our children.

In any other race, the Ayers connection and the Wright connection, would send Mr. Obama to political never neverland. Either people are not listening or people don't care. It is possible that with the apparent economic meltdown combined with media-fueled Obamafever, people just don't care. But I happen to feel the case has just not been strongly enough.

This is a big deal. Obama came out of nowhere, backed by the out-of-the-1920s Chicago machine, with a huge giant scoop of racist separatism (i.e., "Rev." Wright) and a liberal dollop of 60s radical terrorism chic (i.e., "Dr." Ayers).

Mr. Obama has real and long-standing relationships with both Wright and Ayers. Twenty - two decades, a score - years with the good Rev. Wright, who taught black separatism and supremacism, while dolling out "God Damn America," with the Rev. marrying Obama with his Chicagoland "soulmate" and baptizing his two children. Obama didn't know the man was a radical with more than one screw loose? Incomprehensible. Then, a political coming-out party with Ayer and his terrorist wife Bernadine Dohrn, and a long relationship with Ayers in the Annenberg Chicago Challenge, and he doesn't know that Ayers is an unrepentant terrorist? Incomprehensible.

Obama may not himself be a radical, but only if he is nothing, a vacuum, without beliefs he holds on his own and something like a vision. Or he is a radical and espouses what these crazy people believe. Either way, Obama is completely unfit for any office but that of Chicagoland alderman. And, yes, Chicagoland is still pretty much synonymous with gangland.

Obama, if he wins, will be the first gangland president this country has ever had. Oh, the joy!

Prosecutors talking to Rezko, seek to delay sentencing

Federal prosecutors have asked a judge to indefinitely postpone Tony Rezko’s sentencing on corruption charges — admitting for the first time they are undergoing discussions with the political fund-raiser.

In a motion filed today, Assistant U.S. Attorney Reid Schar asked a federal judge to strike the Oct. 28 date as prosecutors continue discussions with Rezko that could affect his sentence. Schar asked for a status hearing in the case for sometime in December.

The Sun-Times first reported Rezko's possible cooperation in August.

The delay could be good news for Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama since a sentencing just days before the election would likely generate unfavorable publicity about his former fund-raiser.

"The parties agree that the Oct. 28, 2008, sentencing date, as well as dates related to sentencing filings should be stricken while the parties engage in discussions that could affect their sentencing postures," Schar wrote.

In other news, don't look now but the the Asian markets are getting hammered again tonight. The Nikkei is down another 324 as I write this.

After hearing all the crap on tv about the early voting for Obama, I have been checking Ohio newspapers. Guess that huge early voter block for Obama didn't actually turn out like they thought ............ sure would not know it by all the msm in the tank for The One. It just makes me question the polls even more:

[Link: www.toledoblade.com...]

As the campaign closes down the backstretch taking the clubhouse turn into October, Obama's murky, indefinite past and shady associations will give thoughtful Americans pause.

He has no real record. He votes "present." what positions he has taken have been sufficient to cast him as the most liberal Senator, out pacing even declared Socialist Sanders. Obama declares himself one who can heal the divisions in our society yet at every turn, Obama and his Bots have shouted down and tried to shut down any critical statements.

Obama and his Bots appear to have engaged in massive campaign financing fraud and there is strong evidence that vote fraud will play a prominent role in the final days.

Obama seeks to become the 44th President. One potential literary antecedent is Mark Twain's novella, "The Mysterious Stranger." [Link: www.shsu.edu...]

A mysterious stranger arrives in a small Austrian town in 1590. Little is known about him, but he seems to be performing wonderful feats. The townsfolk, particularly the young children are smitten with him. The stranger's name is revealed to be simply "44." As the story develops, it turns out that "44" is the Devil himself. As Old Scratch is wont to do, all manner of evil befalls the town. Death and destruction reign.

If you are a thinking American, learn more about this mysterious stranger who seeks to become our 44th President. Where do his thoughts and ambitions fall along the line of those who have gone before. Where do his allegiances lie? To the U.S. and its 50 states or to some indeterminate group of 57 states? Is his allegiance to Americans or to an amorphous world citizen?

I'd say the evidence so far shows more parallels to Twain's story than the fiction Obama has peddled so far.

I posted number 1060 on the DT. Shucks! 1066 is a number that keeps coming up for me! Anyway, my post, which is herein being re-posted, was:

We know his game. He's a one-trick phony. Non-stop Bush bashing with "hope and change" as a veneer.

I find it interesting that the Brits have put together the best possible summary of 0bama so far.

It is very interesting. For example, did you know, while Obama was attending Columbia University, Bill Ayers was working on a master's degree at the nearby Bank Street School of Education? Later, Obama moved to Ayers' hometown of Chicago to become a street agitator -- oops, sorry, community organizer. The summer after Obama's first year at Harvard Law, he returned to Chicago as a summer associate at Sidley Austin, where Ayers' wife Bernardine Dohrn was employed from 1984-88. (The summer in question would be 1989.) The head of the firm at the time was a close friend of Ayers' father, Thomas Ayers.

I admit that these are just very suggestive coincidences at this point, but then again, has anyone bothered to look into it? IMHO, the idea that Obama never met Ayers until 1995 is just ludicrous.

Ayers, Wright, Rezko- yadda yadda yadda- all old news to us LGF's. Maybe the donkeys are right about the majority of the country being blissful idiots who need to be lead around by the nose. Democracy is hard work- and there are too many lazy bums out there. Maybe the financial crisis will bring them out of their stupor. Unfortunately the MSM is telling them its the Repubs fault and they are believing them. Un-fracking-believable.

That's why we need to call the RNC and demand they set the record straight. Tell them they'll get no more money from us if they continue to let the democrats lie about our party- enough is enough.

Because if the RNC isn't going to fight for the party, who is?!

re: #116 The Shadow Do

Just guessing, but it looks like they do not yet have the good on Obama. At least not enough to prosecute.

We don't need enough to prosecute. All we need is enough to get the voters enraged by his machine. A major corruption scandal in the Chicago machine right before an election lets us pile more bad associations onto Obama. We load him up with his friends until he breaks. And here in Cook County, I hope to use it to get Tony Peraica elected as State's Attorney. I'm hoping to burn Obama right in his own backyard.

Sir Nigel detects a potential clash between Downing Street and an Obama administration over Iran.
"If Obama wins, we will need to consider with him the articulation between (a) his desire for 'unconditional' dialogue with Iran and (b) our and the [United Nations Security Council]'s requirement of prior suspension of enrichment before the nuclear negotiations proper can begin."

Tsk tsk, didn't Joe tell Sir Nigel that the O never ever said such a thing?

Things are slowly, slowly starting to unravel but the MSM still is doing its job. Since they are herd animals, maybe now that the NY Slimes printed something on Obama and Ayers, even though it was a puff piece, other journalists will start to smell a little blood and go further. Maybe not, though. I like the # 44 story from Mark Twain, very interesting.

Here's a nice petition you can sign to protest the "McCarthyism" the RNC/McCain campaign is engaging in by smearing telling the truth about Ayers:

Dear friends and colleagues in the field of education,

It seems that the character assassination and slander of Bill Ayers and other people who have known Obama is not about to let up. While an important concern is the dishonesty of this campaign and the slanderous McCarthyism they are using to attack Obama, we also feel an obligation to support our friend and colleague Bill Ayers. Many, many educators have reached out, asking what they could do, seeking a way to weigh in against fear and intimidation. Many of us have been talking and we agree that this one gesture, a joint statement signed by hundreds of hard-working educators, would be a great first step. Such a statement may be distributed through press releases or ads in the future.

This petition is going out EVEN though they know this guy is unrepentant about his and his wifes past records of terrorism. These people; the educators of our children have no sense of shame. They have some seriously effed up sense of priorities in life.

They were introduced in New York City by Edward Said (the author of the "Palestinian Narrative" fiction, ie, the story of 'an ancient people longing for their homeland' as stolen outright from the history and emotions of the Jewish people.)

Edward Said was an English professor at Columbia and Obama took classes of his. Edward Said was a Lebanese-Egyptian Christian who reinvented himself as a "Palestinian" to claim that he was part of the fictional narrative of the non-existent "Palestinian People."

Edward Said had shady leftist contacts (others who were anti-Israel and pro-"Palestinian") and Obama was introduced into the shady radical world of Marxist lefties through Edward Said.

re: #90 mama winger

No one can tell me that Obama had never heard the name of Bernadine Dohrn. She needs to be emphasized every bit as much as Ayers. She is pure evil.

This is without question. You can't know Ayers without knowing Dohrn. Bernadine Dohrn is William Ayers wife and they have two children together. If anything, while he is more guilty, as leader of formulating the terrorist ideology of the group, Dohrn is more guilty of actually carrying things out. But they live together and have since they were on the run. Since then, it has all been in the open. He is a "Distinguished Professor" at the so-called educational institution known as the University of Illinois at Chicago, while she is an associate professor at the so-called educational institution known as the Northwestern University School of Law.

Obama knew both well. Ayers and Dohrn are an inseparable pair.

So two terrorists, one racist (Wright) and one criminal (Rezko) all played important roles in the "rise" of Obama.

Either Obama was a gutter-trolling opportunist trying to gain cred in the most corrupt region of American or he is a radical himself. It's one or the other. Neither reflects well on his character, and either should discredit him entirely.

BTW, Rezko is now in the news as having done some shady real estate dealings with the Dem. Gov. of Illinois, Rob Blagojevich, as well.

The McGovern analogies understate the matter, and JFK analogies are off base, of course. There is simply no precedent for such a figure as Obama as president.

Take it from a Chigaoan, Obama is more deep in corruption and radical subversion than any presidential candidate in history.

That 3 AM phone call? Obama would ask the ever-lovely Michelle to answer, while he cowered under the bed wetting his Depends™

Yes, the economy is very critical, but so is our state of preparedness, but Osama's Zombies do not even care.

By the way, Obama fans are excusing the meetings with Rashid Khalidi as "seeking out authorities for alternative points of view on the conflict in the Middle East", like Obama was just going to the library or something (see, he's a smart guy who seeks out alternate P's-O-V!). That's almost a verbatim quote from one particular post I read recently, at at the social forum of a popular technical website...

It's a shame, the poster was somebody I normally respect as being very sensible, which has caused me to forumlate a theory of The Obama Effect, which makes formerly sensible people lose their effing minds.

re: #212 Racer X

I understand why you are pissed. I'm pissed too. But you know what also pisses me off? Last night ABC ran a news story about Ayers and referred to him as a "respected college professor".

That pissed me off.

You know what pisses me off more than ABC saying that?

It being true.

There are a lot of morons out there, Racer.

Barack Obama's Islamist ties to Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said and Ali Abunimah

Barack Obama's connection to radical Islamists such as Rashid Khalidi and Ali Abunimah have received scant media attention. Ali Abunimah, who runs the Electronic Intifada website said that he met Obama at many pro-Palestinian events in Chicago. In 1998 Obama and his wife attended a banquet at which the virulently anti Israel professor Edward Said was the keynote speaker.

Arab-American Activist Says Obama Hiding Anti-Israel Stance
16 Adar Bet 5768, 23 March 08 10:03by Gil Ronen

(IsraelNN.com) Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama is currently hiding his anti-Israel views in order to get elected, according to a well-known anti-Israel activist. The activist, Ali Abunimah, claimed to know Obama well and to have met him on numerous occasions at pro-Palestinian events in Chicago.

In an article he penned for the anti-Israeli website Electronic Intifada, Abunimah wrote:

"The last time I spoke to Obama was in the winter of 2004 at a gathering in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood. He was in the midst of a primary campaign to secure the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate seat he now occupies. But at that time polls showed him trailing.

"As he came in from the cold and took off his coat, I went up to greet him. He responded warmly, and volunteered, 'Hey, I'm sorry I haven't said more about Palestine right now, but we are in a tough primary race. I'm hoping when things calm down I can be more up front.' He referred to my activism, including columns I was contributing to the The Chicago Tribune critical of Israeli and US policy [and said:] 'Keep up the good work!'"

Barack, Michelle, Edward and Mariam

Abunimah's report included a photo of Obama with his wife Michelle seated at a table with virulently anti-Israeli Professor Edward Said and his wife Mariam, in what Abunimah said was a May 1998 Arab community event in Chicago at which Said gave the keynote speech.

In an interview earlier this year for the leftist radio show "Democracy Now!," a daily TV and radio news program hosted by Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez, Abunimah said he knew Obama for many years as his state senator "when he used to attend events in the Palestinian community in Chicago all the time."

"I remember personally introducing him onstage in 1999, when we had a major community fundraiser for the community center in Deheisha refugee camp in the occupied West Bank," he recounted. "And that's just one example of how Barack Obama used to be very comfortable speaking up for and being associated with Palestinian rights and opposing the Israeli occupation."

About face 'to get elected'

The Arab-American activist went on to say: "In 2000, when Obama unsuccessfully ran for Congress I heard him speak at a campaign fundraiser hosted by a University of Chicago professor. On that occasion and others Obama was forthright in his criticism of US policy and his call for an even-handed approach to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict."

"Obama's about-face is not surprising," Abunimah wrote. "He is merely doing what he thinks is necessary to get elected and he will continue doing it as long as it keeps him in power."

That's an offense.

Upon further review, the call still stands.

You are saying foolish things.

You don't know my bosses, I'll remind you.

But whatever.

re: #169 Adina in Judea

They were introduced in New York City by Edward Said (the author of the "Palestinian Narrative" fiction, ie, the story of 'an ancient people longing for their homeland' as stolen outright from the history and emotions of the Jewish people.)

Edward Said was an English professor at Columbia and Obama took classes of his. Edward Said was a Lebanese-Egyptian Christian who reinvented himself as a "Palestinian" to claim that he was part of the fictional narrative of the non-existent "Palestinian People."

Edward Said had shady leftist contacts (others who were anti-Israel and pro-"Palestinian") and Obama was introduced into the shady radical world of Marxist lefties through Edward Said.

Do you have a source for that? I know Said is dead (spit). Is there someone else who witnessed this? I'm not doubting you, I just like to have evidence if I want to use the claim in the future.

re: #168 Cognito

Look, someone very close to me -- very, very close -- got laid off a few days.

Laid off.

I've been laid of a few times in my career. It ain't fun, but it's called picking yourself up, dusting yourself off, and moving on. One of life's unpleasantries.

re: #196 Sharmuta

Gee- maybe if the MEDIA WAS DOING IT'S DAMNED JOB AMERICANS WOULD HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!

thank you - my sentiments exactly.

If there is someone decent in the media then they need to speak up - for integrity and honesty and personal pride. but it ain't happening cause those things don't live there anymore.
Dan Rather - gone
Air Amerika - dead
msnbc , cnn, all of them...
the NYT, washington b/s, LA b/s....

I hope they all crash and burn as they are part of this entire problem.
People are waking up slowly...and getting pissed.

re: #220 NY Nana

That explains why Newsweek thought Obama could be our first female president.

re: #168 Cognito

Oh please. Utter crap.

Look, someone very close to me -- very, very close -- got laid off a few days.

Laid off.

And for what it's worth the evil media is feeling economic pain right now as much as any other sector.

So don't with the 'media' trash. I'm a person.

Of my twenty closest friends and neighbors, I doubt a third of them have safe, stable jobs. Plenty of layoffs. Plenty of short-term contracts. But so far, nothing much worse from the current carnival. In general, "It's the economy, stupid" remains a powerful guideline for politics, I agree, but just who does that favor? Both candidates are ignorant and not credible. It's a horror show.

I just hope mama winger is correct, that enough normal Americans are out there, paying attention, and voting - and see things our way. I remain modestly optimistic.

re: #165 Racer X

I think its called multi-tasking.

Today attack on Ayers.
Tomorrow Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson.
Wednesday - Tony Rezko
Thursday - Rev. Wright
Friday - illegal campaign contributions.

and then next week, start by doing ads that EXPLAIN in joe six pack language -- the 5000.00 health care thing, the way it will work, ( and the way his will NOT) and other actual plans for action, that is what we want,, obamma just says i will do this and i will do that ,i will do everything and more- I think McCain needs to lay it out- in black and white as it were, that is the only way the mesmoronic masses will understand and then lets talk about that FENCE

re: #71 astronmr20

Polls are bullshit:

Ojoe's poll hammer:

1. Polls are public, there are at least a questioner and an answerer; more may be listening and influencing the answer. The ballot is secret.

2. Polls may be worded in tricky ways. The ballot is simple.

3. You can lie to a pollster. You cannot lie to the ballot.

4. Polls come before the ballot, and can influence voting, so the motivation behind them is suspect.

5. Polls come to you even if you are lazy, but you have to get up off your ass to go and vote.

re: #225 Hard Right

Yes, how dare we put the blame where it belongs. (roll eyes)
Cog the mindless media twit/apologist strikes again.

Don't fall for that crap.

The Wall Street Journal raised the alarm about Freddie and Fannie and their Congressional conspirators for years. Years.

Blaming the media is worse than wrong. It's lazy.

Take the time to apportion the blame where it belongs, because that is the only way to correct the problem.

And if, say, the New York Times failed to see disaster coming, punish them by not subscribing. And reward the responsible competitor -- say, the WSJ -- by reading their stuff.

It's not rocket science.

But that's just me.

Let's blame the media for this.

Yeah. Tough to do when you're five years short of retirement, too old to start anew and your 401K has recently been reduced to a pile of cinders by the greedy and the stupid.

But thanks.

I'll consider the source.

We have soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan against terrorists and those who aid them. Those who set IED's that target Army our troops as they are on patrol Troops who trained at places that William Ayers and his friends tried to blow up.

We have a man who wants to fight terrorists, and a man who has dinner over at their house. Maybe if Obam agets elected, Ayers could give the Taliban some professional tips.

Why is this even a question?
