ANOTHER WIN FOR THE RIGHT: ANNENBERG/AYERS-OBAMA PAPERS TO BE MADE PUBLIC!

NYT/AP:
The University of Illinois at Chicago said Friday it is releasing records of Barack Obama's service to a nonprofit organization linked to former 1960s radical William Ayers.

Supporters of John McCain have been trying to exploit the tie between Obama and Ayers, with a McCain fundraiser donating nearly $2.9 million for an independent ad focusing on Ayers. Ayers' Weatherman group took credit for bombings that included nonfatal blasts at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol four decades ago.

The records of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, an organization that Obama chaired and that Ayers co-founded, will be made available to the public Tuesday, UIC said in a statement.
GOOD.
  • IF THERE'S NOTHING TO HIDE, THEN THERE'S NOTHING TO FEAR...
  • IF THERE WAS NOTHING TO FEAR THEN OBAMA WOULD HAVE PUBLICLY DEMANDED THEIR RELEASE.
  • HE'S SCARED...
GOOD.

  1. I'm with Dan: Some Rosemary Woods wannabe(or maybe Sandy Berger?) is no doubt busy at this very moment going through the material and destroying anything incriminating to The One.

    I will be surprised if anything damning sees the light of day.

    The Chicago Way, indeed.

  2. Yeah...You guys know who Walter Annenberg is right? You know, Ambassador to the UK under RICHARD NIXON, and a close personal friend of RONALD REAGAN. Maybe Annenberg is Muslim? He would have to be to associate with TERRORISTS like Will Ayers.

    Of course, this is a ridiculous red herring in the dialogue and has nothing whatsoever to do with the issues. We on the left could pretty easily talk about Mccain's friendship with G Gordon Libby... Remember him? The guy who wanted to kidnap protesters and murder a reporter? Watergate? Ringing any bells? http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/chi-oped0504chapmanmay04,0,6238795.column

    But of course, that would be silly, as it has absolutely no bearing on Mccain's ideology or his fitness as commander in chief. of course we don't have to resort to these desperate, desperate smear attempts because smart Republicans are already abandoning the Mccain ticket for the sinking, cholera ridden, rat infested ship that it is: http://www.jedreport.com/shipjumpers/

    I mean really, you had a campaign manager who had to resign in disgrace 2 months before the election. Remember him? Phil Gramm?
    the guy who called us "a nation of whiners"? The guy who slipped in credit default swap deregulation into the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000?
    No? Here's a little primer: http://www.motherjones.com/news/feature/2008/07/foreclosure-phil.html

    Of course you don't. You want to talk about meetings Barak Obama had with an Education professor and a former Nixon staffer just because you can somehow work the big scary word "terrorist" into the conversation. Pathetic.

    You know what? Educated New York City elitists such as myself are getting really fucking sick and tired of you rednecks using a horrible tragedy that happened in MY CITY to justify all the hateful, racist, fearmongering and demonization of Muslims. They don't hate us because we are free, they hate us because we bomb their children and support secular governments in the Middle East. Now they hate us even more.

    You've gotten away with this bullshit for 8 years and look where it led us: 2 wars, thousands of US soldiers killed, hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqi civilians, secret prisons, torture, being the only 1st world country to not sign the Kyoto Protocol or the ICBM treaties, spying on US citizens without warrants and the worst economic crisis since the great depression. The guy you elected into office twice with this scare tactic bullshit now has THE LOWEST APPROVAL RATING SINCE THEY STARTED TRACKING APPROVAL RATINGS.

    So now you want to elect a guy who was fifth from the bottom of his class of 899 at the Naval Academy, who only advance in the military due to nepotism from family connections, who crashed 4 planes, the final one after disobeying a direct order to turn back. This is a perfect example of your "war hero's" judgement. He disregards a direct order from a commanding officer and gets shot down as a result. IS this really the type of man we want as commander in chief? A failed student, a failed soldier, and a senator who has fought tooth and nail for economic deregulation.

    I know you all want to vote with your party, maybe your pro life, but voting for this erratic, unstable old man WILL utterly destroy our reputation in the world and will undoubtedly steer us into more wars, perhaps even world war 3.
