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.

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

I hope that I haven't given you the impression that I don't care if he's hanging around with sleeper cells, mob bosses, child molesters, etc. It is this particular relationship that does not have me riled up. There are concerns and relationships on both sides that concern me. This is just not one of them. With that said, you won't see me on a post defending his relationship with Rev Wright.

McCain left his wife long before Cindy.

I don't see the purpose of creating a controversy where none exists.

Truly? Because you certainly don't give that impression when you're out on the hustings flogging the Ayers "issue."

>>> You’re really concerned about *character* - at least Obama didn’t leave his disabled wife for someone 18 years younger, hotter and wealthy.

Wow...what a really ignorant condensation of the facts. McCain wasn’t just “married,” saw a “hot chick” on the corner, and then dumped his wife. He was taken from his family…for 5 1/2 years…and during that time both he and his wife were subjected to life changing ordeals. When he returned, he tried to make the marriage work for an additional SIX years before finally separating from his wife and ultimately divorcing her.

BTW…Carol’s marriage to McCain was her SECOND marriage, she isn’t “disabled,” and she’s one of McCain’s biggest supporters. Just sayin’…

But since you brought up “dumping” as a character issue…Obama dumped his white girlfriend in college because she wasn’t “black enough”…now that’s character.

>>> 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).

Really? But so many have indicated that Bill Clinton’s affairs were “no big deal” and certainly NOT a measure of his “character.” What’s your position on that? As for myself, I’ve had several relationships that didn’t work out…so has almost every person I know…imagine the horror.

>>> Time to look at the *issues* vs. *the trash we can find* - that’s not what this election is about.

Obama’s character, his judgment and his personal ideology are all very important issues if he wants to be President.

>>> If you look hard enough, you’ll find everyone has rubbed elbows with people they were unaware of that led less than ethical lives. You could be living next to a serial killer now and have invited him over for dinner and never know it. Just like someone wrote into CNN/Larry King last night, I took one of Ayer’s classes at the college, does that make me a terrorist too? LOL - *common sense* J

Obama didn’t just “rub elbows” with a LOT of unscrupulous people, or just “take a class” taught by Ayres. He was a close friend of Ayres, a domestic terrorist and worked closely with him on radical teaching programs that I think most people would find objectionable. He also was in cahoots with Rezko…the felon…for the purchase of his house…the lot next door, which Obama wanted a portion of, was “coincidentally” purchased by Rezko’s wife the same day Obama bought his home and a portion “sold” to Obama for a price set by Obama. And he sat in the pew of a racist church, led by a racist pastor, for 20 years…and took that racist, America-hating preacher as his personal mentor. You can swallow the kool-aid if you like, but I’ll settle for the facts.

>>> You do not know what goes on behind people’s closed doors. Even today McCain made the statement that Obama is not a terrorist and is a really great man and family man…..and in not so many words regrets spreading this gospel around!

Neither I, nor McCain, has ever said that Obama was a terrorist…and no one knows what kind of “family man” he is. He is, however, a socialist, an elitist and a racist who apparently has no problem consorting with felons, racists, terrorists and other America-haters. You guys sure picked a winner.

I didn't get my "facts" from a left leaning publication.
