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.

>>but ignorance of the facts isn't going to make them go away.<<

I am in no way disputing the facts. It is what it is. I feel like this issue is not extremely important to a lot of voters. Maybe McCain's die-hard base feels like if Obama gets in he will be advocating bombings of federal buildings left and right but I don't feel threatened.

ITA!! I have decided to not answer any more of their smears. They have a need to believe the garbage they are posting, and nothing will change that. The prior answer shows that. McCain HAS had dinner at Linder's home, but they turn a blind eye to that. We know what's important, and it isn't the people either candidate associate(d) with.


I'll be so glad when this is all over!!

Why aren't the people Obama chooses to have relationships with relevant to his character as far as you are concerned?

Certainly I knew it, which was why I asked you.

The "searing account" statement was not anything like a "formal review" by Obama. He was asked in passing by a reporter for the Chicago Tribune what he was reading. Obama answered that he was reading Ayers' book, and offered up that one-sentence assessment. That was it: one sentence. Hardly a "review":

Nevertheless, that hasn't stopped wingnuts aplenty from claiming that he actually wrote a review, when nothing of the kind (of course) happened.

You’re really concerned about *character* - at least Obama didn’t leave his disabled wife for someone 18 years younger, hotter and wealthy. God forbid that ever happened to you or me or any of these ladies on this board (I think that’s most women’s worst fear).

<<# 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)>>

For that, surely both Ayers and Obama deserve 50 year prison terms. How dare they write about/comment on the juvenile court system. Wait---the Chicago Tribune praised Ayer's book. For that he deserves at least a 100 yr sentence.

What is happening to the United States of America when grown men feel they have the right to express their opinions on the juvenile court system? Must be those damn liberals and their ACLU! Send them all to Guantanamo!

(that's pure sarcasm, in case you don't know me)
