Barack Obama's Pattern of False Statements on Bill Ayers
FoxNews.com ^ | Monday, October 13, 2008 | John R. Lott, Jr.

The media is ferociously attacking the McCain campaign’s new Web-based ad linking Barack Obama and Bill Ayers. The ad is very short:

Obama's blind ambition. When convenient, he worked with terrorist Bill Ayers. When discovered, he lied. Obama. Blind ambition. Bad judgment. Congressional liberals fought for risky subprime loans. Congressional liberals fought against more regulation. Then, the housing market collapsed costing you billions. In crisis, we need leadership, not bad judgment.

A second longer ad released on the Web at the same time continues this point and argues:

Barack Obama and Bill Ayers, friends. They have worked together for years, but Obama tries to hide it, why? . . . Obama's friendship with terrorist Ayers isn't the issue. The issue is Barack Obama's judgment and candor.

The press has focused exclusively on the first ad. Howard Kurtz at the Washington Post writes: “To say that Obama ‘lied’ about his contacts with Ayers, whose Weathermen group conducted bombings when the senator from Illinois was 8 years old, is simply untrue.” Relying heavily on a recent article in the New York Times, Viveca Novak and Brooks Jackson with FactCheck.org write: “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.” The Washington Post Fact Checker came to a similar conclusion.

"but nothing Obama said previously has been shown to be false.”

So........Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post has confirmed that in fact Obama's kids, while still in diapers, DID go to College with Malik and Zayid Ayers! .......And Chesa Boudin.

That Howard Kurtz and his intrepid search for the truth,what would we do without him??

Everything about Obama, and his tactics of playing the poor against the rich, seems so eerily similar to those used by Caesar Chavez in Venezuela.

"FactCheck.org writes: “We find McCain's claim to be groundless. . . ."

And we are suppose to believe it because "FACTCHECK.ORG" said it??????
My opinion of FactCheck.Org is they have ruined a great url name forever with their bias work.
