In a TV ad, McCain says Obama "lied" about his association with William Ayers, a former bomb-setting, anti-war radical from the 1960s and '70s. We find McCain's claim to be groundless. New details have recently come to light, but nothing Obama said previously has been shown to be false.
In a Web ad and in repeated attacks from the stump, McCain describes the two as associates, and Palin claims they "pal around" together. But so far as is known, their relationship was never very close. An Obama spokesman says they last saw each other in a chance encounter on the street more than a year ago.
McCain says in an Internet ad that the two "ran a radical 'education' foundation" in Chicago. But the supposedly "radical" group was supported by a Republican governor and included on its board prominent local civic leaders, including one former Nixon administration official who has given $1,500 to McCain's campaign this year. Education Week says the group's work "reflected mainstream thinking" among school reformers. The group was the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, started by a $49 million grant from the Annenberg Foundation, which was established by the publisher Walter Annenberg, a prominent Republican whose widow, Leonore, is a contributor to the McCain campaign...

So, for instance, FC says 'there's still no evidence of a deep or strong "friendship"' between Obama and Ayers. But, do any of the McCain ads say they were "deep or strong" friends? Apparently the BHO campaign admits they were friends, and so does Daley: http://campaignspot.nationalreview.com/post/?q=M2NmN2Q3NjRiMjgxZmUyZTk2NmJiOGJhMDIyNDRiNGE=
The article they mention is only available to subscribers: edweek.org/ew/articles/2008/10/09/08annenberg.h28.html Is Edweek telling the truth?
Does anyone have examples of Ayers' radicalism spilling over into the CAC? For an example of that radicalism, see this: http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=NjRkOWUzMTVjMTU5YjIxYmQyMjY3YjU0NWJkY2QxZjY=
factcheck.org, a public service from a donation from the annenberg foundation.
that’s enough for me to vote for “fact checking” the factcheck.org
factcheck owned by the Annenbergs... rings a bell?
Newsweek is more in the tank for Obama than NYT. Their mag is nothing but a campaign brochure. Even if given the facts, they will not print them. My opinion, of course.
factcheck.org serves one purpose: protect The Chosen One.

to: “I thought he was rehabilitated.”.
Which means he knew Ayers was a bum and associated with him yesterday.
Wait til the smoking gun is found tying them together @ Columbia in the early 80’s.
Hope it aint too late
Would this "Republican Governor" be the convicted George Ryan, now serving time in a Federal prison?
That’s funny... I’ve never had a “chance encounter” with a terrorist.
Nor have I ever sat on any boards with a terrorist. Never worked for a terrorist.
Never exchanged emails with a terrorist.
Never phoned a terrorist.
Never penned a testimonial for a terrorist’s book.
And nope. Never sat down for coffee with a terrorist either, at his house.
But I may be a bumpkin.
“The Annenberg Political Fact Check is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania. The APPC was established by publisher and philanthropist Walter Annenberg in 1994 to create a community of scholars within the University of Pennsylvania that would address public policy issues at the local, state and federal levels.”

End of story.
I can’t recall the name (but I will try to find it) but FactCheck is owned by someone who is a strong supporter of Hussein Obama. These people are into it with Hussein. We need to get it around just like the Media, FactCheck too is for Hussein. We need to discredit factCheck.
“Would this “Republican Governor” be the convicted George Ryan, now serving time in a Federal prison? “
I would like to know much more about this as a friend brought up the Republicans working on this project to me today. I’d love to have a snappy retort!
oh yeah rock and roll......keep it up it is working.....make this. Libs. Squeal like pigs.
Part of the annenburg foundation, Obama and Ayers little money supplier. Can’t trust them either now.
Can we please drop Ayers and go with Odinga?
The church’s Obama’s buddy Odinga burned contained WOMEN and CHILDREN and it all happened DURING the current election cycle!
The Ayers bombings occurred long enough ago that Liberals and some independents will have no problem rationalizing them into insignificance.
“their relationship was never very close.”
Myth Number One.
I wonder how long some people in the media think they can get away with distorting and lying? How many leftist buddies does Obama have to have before they report it?
