For two hours last night, Obama minions beseiged retired conservative U of IL professor, Milt Rosenberg's WGN radio show during his interview with Stanley Kurtz about the Obama-Ayers connections during the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.
Reminiscent of Obama's first IL Senate run... where his legal team systematically eliminated all primary competitors by challenging all petition signatures... Obama has sent the lawyers in to attempt to quash the McCain Obama-Ayers ad, criticizing McCain's suggestion that Obama had a relationship with Ayers beyond that of another guy in the 'hood.
Barack Obama's supporters insist that an ad from a conservative group attacking his ties to unrepentant 1970s radical William Ayers is irrelevant to the campaign. Cass Sunstein, a University of Chicago law professor and close friend of Mr. Obama, says that while he is "very disturbed by [Mr. Ayers'] past and by his refusal to disavow what the did . . . the implications of this for Obama are zero."You wouldn't know that from the reaction of the Obama campaign. Yesterday, it took the extraordinary step of airing a response to the Ayers ad, which links Mr. Obama to the former Weather Underground organizer who took credit for a series of non-fatal bombings at the U.S. Capitol and Pentagon during the Vietnam War era. "With all our problems, why is John McCain talking about the 60s, trying to link Barack Obama to radical Bill Ayers?" the Obama ad asks. "McCain knows Obama denounced Ayers' crimes, committed when Obama was just 8 years old."
Obama lawyers have also sent a letter to the Justice Department demanding a criminal investigation of the American Issues Project, the conservative group behind the ad, for potentially violating campaign finance laws.
The Obama campaign ignored host's offer to have an Obama representative present to offer counterpoints.
According to a a post on today's Chicago Tribune blog, The Swamp:
Zack Christenson, executive producer of "Extension 720 with Milt Rosenburg," said the response was strong."I would say this is the biggest response we've ever got from a campaign or a candidate," he said. "This is really unprecedented with the show, the way that people are flooding the calls and our email boxes."
Christenson said the Obama campaign was asked to have someone appear on the show and declined the request.
"He got into the files just yesterday, so we wanted to have him on to find out what he found. And, if at all possible, we wanted to get the Obama campaign, to get their side of the story," Christenson said. "That's why the uproar is kind of amazing, because we wanted the Obama campaign's take as well."
Instead of stepping up to the plate for the debate and accepting the opportunity to appear with Kurtz, the Obama campaign conveniently omitted the invitation in an email sent out as a call to action for the Obamatrons to assail the show. Obviously, they didn't want the sheeple to know that the Obama team no more wants to confront the Ayers issue anymore than they want to debate McCain in townhall settings.

QWho is paying those high priced lawyers?
Harold Simmons worh over 4 billion dollars should sue Obama camp.
As my beloved Mom used to say:
“The truth hurts, doesn’t it”?
Wow, would that rile me . . . because I knew she was right.
God bless Harold Simmons.

No reason you can’t give WGN encouragement.
Be sure to include your City, State, Zip
Creatures of the night despise the light. The truth is like garlic breath to these blinded hordes....
Oddly, this response highlites the fact that Obama is too young and inexperienced to be president right now. McCain was in the military at the same time.
Forget the 'Fairness Doctrine'...these Marxist/Stalinists want to squash all opposition.
Mark Levin is exploding tonight over this topic on his radio show.

“Obama lawyers have also sent a letter to the Justice Department demanding a criminal investigation of the American Issues Project, the conservative group behind the ad, for potentially violating campaign finance laws.”
While they are at it maybe they can investigate all those supposed individual campaign contributions from Obama’s internet fund raising that somehow total 40 or 50 million a month. I’m sure those are all just a whole bunch of Democrat supporters sending in small contributions but maybe we should just check to be sure. I’m sure thousands of those contributions wouldn’t be traced to the same IP address. I’m sure that the Obama campaign is not using the internet to hide huge amounts of foreign money and money from super rich anti-American leftists.

Would not suprise me if TGO has been exploding bigtime as of late over a number of issues. The only way for me to be able to listen to Mark is via computer and mine’s has been down. This stuff MUST be scaring the talkradio show hosts, both national and local bigtime.
