It’s fairly apparent the Obama camp was given a days forward notice that UIC would be releasing the requested material. It also seems they feel they can no longer try to nuance the relationship, but instead feel they must now attack and threaten the messenger in an attempt kill the story completely. I wonder what is in those boxes and boxes of unvetted material.

Good point. If you shoplift from Walmart, you are banned therefrom for life! Boming Capitol should at least merit that sanction.

This ad hit a real nerve and it is only the beginning.

The abortion ad is also very effective, as is the new ad by McCain on Biden saying you can’t learn being President on the job and best person for Predident it McCain (per Plugs!). LOL.

Obama’s gang is attacking Cindy McCain saying she is “fair game” because she owns the houses. I say let them dig into Michelle My Belle’s videos at the church.

Semper Fi

Kerry pulled this crap too. There was a video with CMH winner Bud Day and Kerry’s lawyers said they would sure all the stations who ran it because not all people showed had waived privacy or some such. Went after sponsors too. Hardball.

BIG BUMP!!! Okie01 on post #47 says it all:


To: pissant
After reading the letter:

1. They’re scared.

2. The ad hit where it hurt.

3. All they have is intimidation.

4. If elected, they won’t hesitate to use it.

The American Issues Project today announced the debut of a new television advertising campaign examining the relationship between Sen. Barack Obama and unrepentant 1960’s domestic terrorist, William Ayers. The ad — entitled “Know Enough?” — begins with a simple, yet pointed question: “Beyond the speeches, how much do you really know about Barack Obama?”

Supported by over one hundred pages of back-up documentation and historical accounts, the American Issues Project is using this ad to shed light on Obama’s friendship with Ayers, the former leader of an American terrorist group known as Weather Underground.

Problem for Obama is the Ayers cat is out of the bag now. (along with the BAIPA). They can try and squash this all they want, but people are going to find out. I am now starting to see stories in the more main stream media. At some point before November, he has some explaining to do.

Not to mention Ayers wife is also a lawyer.

From Wikipedia:

Dohrn's criminal record has prevented her from being admitted to either the New York or Illinois bar, according to The New York Times.[18] "Dohrn didn't get a [law] license because she's stubborn," Trienens told the Chicago Tribune reporter in 2008. "She wouldn't say she's sorry."

She is on an adjunct professor at the University of Chicago Law School and was a lawyer prior to her convictions.

The dems use these station threats like form letters! Kerry’s campaign did the same thing 4 years ago....threatening the jerking of broadcast licenses should stations air the documentary put together by the Swiftboat vets. Ah, that 1st amendment the left loves sooooo much.

Thanks for doing the work.

That info is good to know.

Is the media trying to make her out to be a fine upstanding citizen now?
I haven’t had time to read it all.

Obama/Obiden.......Biden will become a three time loser

Obama gives the words “flip flop” new meaning!

This man is totally unfit to be in the White House.

I feel sorry for Biden, He has had about three brain aneurysms.

Being invaded from the South and trying to elect a total traitor to the office of POTUS.

No matter the flaws of Biden, I believe he loves this country, and I just CAN'T imagine him consorting with these despicable people or subordinating his core patriotism to Obama and his leftist leanings as CIC of the United States of America.

Well, Biden can say anything about what he claims to believe, I judge him on what he does and the company he keeps. When he becomes the official VP candidate on BO's ticket, I think that pretty much tells me what he believes and what he will do.

I would also add, in regards to Joe Lieberman, that I apply the same standard to him. When Gore chose him his "principled" views morphed into Gore's. IMO his support for WOT is good, and we should appreciate and accept it. But that changes nothing else, including him. And it does not make him one of us, so to speak.

During my anti-terrorism training the Weather Underground was SPECIFICALLY mentioned as an anti American home grown terrorist organization.

Obama is even LESS qualified than the Rapist for a security clearance.

WHY has even been allowed to run for any public office?

The really, really grating thing about Ayers is that he and Dohrn were featured in a page one article on September 11, 2001 (or all days!) in the New York Times, fondly recalling their days as mad bombers and regretting they "didn't do enough".

He said he wants to kill people like me to make some assinine political point. He can't convince people to vote for his favored policies so he wants to intimidate people into accepting them by planting bombs. It is a sad commentary on the state of contemporary American justice and culture that either of these vile creatures is allowed to live, let alone live free to be given sincures in a major university where they can pass on their ingratitude and vitrol to future generations and become the subject of a fawning article in the nation's most prestigious newspaper.

Threatening stations with FCC rules for airing negative political ads about him. Now thats something McCain/(Feingold) would support whole heartedly.
