DENVER (AP) - Barack Obama is striking back fiercely and swiftly at an ad linking him to a 1960s radical.

The ad is funded by 1 of the main supporters of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which went after John Kerry in 2004. This ad questions Obama's ties to William Ayers, a founder of the radical Weather Underground organization that took credit for a series of bombings four decades ago.

See my tagline.

Just keep it on youtube.

More people get their news there than CNN and FOX combined.

And just what would the Justice Department have to do with an ad that points out an established associaton between two citizens?

[HardStarboard]

What organization is responsible for the ad. I've seen it and its devistatingly well done.

I donated to the Swift Boat Vets.....would support this group if I knew who it was.

He can protest it, he can try and squash it, and he can try to get the people prosecuted...but the one thing he cannot do is refute it.

And that is because it is absolutely true and he knows it. He has been friends with this unrepentant, domestic terrorist and traitorous bastard, he did kick his politicsal career off at the man's house, he did serve on boards with him, and he did attend speaking events with him.

This willful, long-term association, along with several others, marks Barack Hussein Obama for what he is, himself a militant anti-American and abject Marxist.

But all his efforts just bring more attention to it and get more people interested and digging into it themselves...they do not have to dig far to find that this man is wholly unsuited for the office of the Presidency...or any other office of public truth either.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

Obama’s linked to Ayers no matter how much he claims he isn't. Ayers had Obama at his house in 2002 for a Senate fund-raiser and worked with him on various projects. Fox News and CNN are trying to hide the truth from the American people.

[tobyhill]

Obama’s scared. I spoke to my brother-in-law who supports Obama and I asked him if he knew who William Ayers was and he didn't. When I tried to explain Obama’s connection he was stunned but said he wants to look at it further and if it's true he's done with Obama.

[ZULU]

FOX news won’t show it???

I thought they were fair and balanced?

I think that if a program accepts political adds, they should be required to accept ALL political adds, not just the ones they agree with.

Fox has always been liberal but just not as much as MSNBC or CNN.

[CedarDave]

From the KOA article (which was sourced back to AP):

The two men once served together on the board of a charity in Chicago. And Obama chaired a school reform group of which Ayers was a founder. Ayers also hosted a meet-the-candidate event when Obama first sought public office.

The word is getting out.

Notice how the AP article thinks this is a good thing.

If we can’t have free and open debate in a Presidential campaign, when will our mental giants allow us to have it.

If they can stifle this ad, it will set a very bad precedent. They’ll keep using the same tactics again and again to shut opponents up.

***Look what the liberals are doing to this republic, they’re destroying it. These 2 organizations owe their existence to the first amendment, and the most protected speech in America is supposed to be political speech (closely followed by religious speech). This is an abomanation, pun intended.

[tobyhill]

I trust Fox News as much as I would trust a fox guarding a hen house.

[DBrow]

They can't squash a viral campaign in which we send the Youtube link to everyone we know, and dl the video against deletion attempts, and send that.

Post the link on all of the sites that allow us to post stuff, too.
