Obama Campaign Pleads Ignorance
johnmccain ^ | Michael Goldfarb

Posted on 10/06/2008 11:27:35 AM PDT by flyfree

Does Barack Obama truly expect the American people to believe that he had no idea about his friend’s past as the infamous founder of the domestic terror group ‘The Weather Underground’ or is he just lying? If Obama didn't know in 1995 about the bombings Ayers was responsible for, when did he find out -- because Obama was promoting Ayers' book in 1997, serving on boards with him until 2002, and trading emails and phone calls with him as recently as 2005. If Obama really was unaware of Ayers' radical past, learning the truth doesn't seem to have had any effect on their friendship. Whether Barack Obama is lying to voters about his previous support for higher taxes on the middle class, his votes against funds for American troops in the field or his associations with an unrepentant terrorist, voters are left wondering who Obama is and what he stands for."

For insight into the Obama-Ayers relationship, one has to understand the goal of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. And it took Jon Voight on the Huckabee show last night to give us the point:

The essential goal of Barack Obama's collaboration with William Ayers in the CAC was to test for effective ways of radicalizing public school children, using the inner city Chicago schools as a test bed.

It was not about the three R's. Radicalizing schoolkids (especially black kids) was their R.

Please tell it how it is, McCain campaign, conservative media.

Obama didn’t know alot of things.

He didn’t know that his pastor or 22 years, and close personal friend, is a race baiting, anti-American lunatic.

He didn’t know that his long time close associate William Ayers is a terrorist.

He didn’t know that Rezko was breaking the law.

He didn’t know these significant things about people very close to him, yet he claims to know what is best for this country?

Either he is a lying sack of —— and he knew about these things all along, in which case he is unfit to be the Chief Executive, or he had no idea that those closest to him were despicable America-hating lunatics, in which case he is unfit to be the Chief Executive. God help us if he wins.

The flip side of that coin is this:
If you want me to believe that he had no idea what Ayers was about, and yet he worked with him or in close association to him, making decisions of how our tax money was to be spent on behalf of Ayers and the Woods Fund...then he is reckless and clueless. Is this a man that should be president when he isnt even aware of the people in a foundation he chaired???? Cut me a break.

This was one of the Mav's best known examples of reaching across to aisle to join with the RATS . Glenn=Rat , Cranston=Rat , Deconcini=Rat , Riegle=Rat .

The notion, advanced by the Obama camp, that Obama didn’t know of Bill Ayer’s past is so astonishingly, breathtakingly, unbelievable that the fact that Obama could trot out this defense is evidence that he holds the entire electorate in utter contempt.

This won’t be forgiven or overlooked.

This will cost him big time.

Moreover, he has made a laughing stock of himself - the WORST mistake a politician can make.

Thanks for posting this article.


“Obama Campaign Pleads Ignorance”

They seem to repeat that phrase an awful lot.

Obama pleads ignorance of Ayers, Wright,Odinga, and his own campaign staff.

Gee, Marxism in schools. Whoda thunk?

Nobody thought this was possible when YURI was interviewed a year ago.

Just like Hillary. She always claimed she didn't remember anything or know what her people were doing yet she wanted us to believe she was a good leader.

Love your post #5! starting with “Obama didn’t know alot of things.” Just wnated to add to your “right-on” list.:)

He didn’t know that his pastor or 22 years, and close personal friend, is a race baiting, anti-American lunatic.

He didn’t know that his long time close associate William Ayers is a terrorist.

He didn’t know that it was a very bad idea to work with ACORN in bullying banks and lending institutions into giving bad loans which led to our economy crisis.

He didn’t know it was a very bad idea to take large campaign contributions from the CEO of Fanny Mae.

He didn’t know his frind Father Flagler would speak such nasty words about Senator Clinton and her accomplishments.

He didn’t know that Rezko was breaking the law.

He didn’t know these significant things about people very close to him, yet he claims to know what is best for this country?

Either he is a lying sack of —— and he knew about these things all along, in which case he is unfit to be the Chief Executive, or he had no idea that those closest to him were despicable America-hating lunatics, in which case he is unfit to be the Chief Executive. God help us if he wins.

Obama was promoting Ayers' book in 1997

Hadn't heard that one before...but here is what I found:

Michelle Obama organized a University of Chicago panel about Bill Ayers's crime book in November 1997, just as the battle over the juvenile justice bill was heating up. That panel featured appearances by some of the key figures discussed in Ayers's book, along with Obama himself, who was identified in the press release as "working to block proposed legislation that would throw more juvenile offenders into the adult system." In effect, then, this public event was a joint Obama-Ayers effort to sink the juvenile justice bill-Obama's decision to plug Ayers's book in the Chicago Tribune the following month was part of the same political effort.

And Dennis Deconcini, the former AZ DEM Senator.

and an ultra-left 'nuclear freeze' Democrat Senator from California named Alan Cranston who took more than $1 million from Keeting and unlike McCain, actually did put the squeeze on the S&L regulators.
