Oh NOES! McCain Palling With Terrorists!

HOLY COW!! Have you SEEN this? Hot off the presses!
This morning John McCain put out a list of 100 former ambassadors who are supporting his campaign. Number two is Leonore Annenberg, the wife of Ambassador William Annenberg, the founder of the Annenberg Institute of Reform, which funded the Annenberg Challenge, which once had two famous board members: former "domestic terrorist" William Ayers and Sen. Barack Obama.



So either we should all be outraged that John McCain is supported by a family who funded a foundation that hired a domestic terrorist, or this whole William Ayers thing is just plain silly. I choose the latter.

This is the OP’s “attempt at humor” (not to be taken literally) there is a thread below with Obama and Ayer *yet again* we were both on and trying to knock common sense in but alas certain peeps have a mission on this board J - so “funny” to the OP, ha.

Yep - right on. The whole point is that this stuff is silly beyond words. Obama's essential take - that this was forty years ago, and "despicable" - and NOTHING more - is correct. I'd bet if we could get a list of McCain donors, we could ferret out some pretty reprehensible characters in there, too. And not just donors, but boosters.

So it is the brothers cousins sisters neighbors sister that has a grandmother who is connected to this group?


Did McCain have a coffee in any of these terrorists homes?


Did Cindy work with any of their spouses?

Did one of these members hold a dinner to launch McCain's political campaign?


Did McCain write a good review of one of said terrorists books?

I can't even post on the Obama/Ayers threads anymore because it is such a waste of time and energy. These people will go to their graves swearing that Obama is a domestic terrorist and OMG-they had coffee and dinner etc,etc,etc. The funny thing is this: He continues to go up in the polls. People who are polled are not concerned with his relationship with Ayers. It is old news that has been vetted over 6 months ago during the primaries. Just because Sarah Palin joined the ticket 10 minutes ago and is rehashing it all again the base is just lapping it up. And if they just took a breath and opened their eyes they would see it for what it is, fodder for the die-hard base which is basically all that McCain has left.

Apparently the Sarah lovers can dish it out but can't take it.
