Stung by Gov. Sarah Palin's revisiting of Sen. Barack Obama's ties to former 60's radical William Ayers, the Obama campaign today tried to defend the candidate against charges that he "pals around with terrorists." Campaign spokesmen fanned out on television this morning to answer Palin and explain away the Obama-Ayers connection. In so doing, the campaign employed a defense that it has used time and time again when questions about Sen. Obama's associations have been raised: Obama was unaware of Ayers radical past, says the campaign.
The McCain campaign, sensing a bite on its line, fired back. The campaign released a barrage of past Obama campaign statements in which he referred to Ayers as everything from, "a guy who lives in my neighborhood," to someone who, "engaged in...despicable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8 years old." Those statements are meant to obscure the working relationship that Obama and Ayers shared on two public boards in the late 1990's and early 2000's. Today's line from the Obama campaign seems to acknowledge that there was a close working relationship of a nature greater than the campaign has thus far been willing to admit.
When confronted with the inflammatory tapes of sermons given by his former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Sen. Obama first defended his association with Wright, then disowned him by saying the tapes did not represent, "the man I met 20 years ago." Today's comments on Ayers from the campaign are a sight variation on the same theme. Sen. Obama seeks a pass from the public for his association with Ayers by claiming ignorance of his terrorist past just as he sought a pass on Wright by claiming that he was unaware of the incendiary nature of some of his sermons.
But with one month to go before Election Day, and the stakes for Obama considerably higher, it is huge gamble to bet on voters being satisfied with only an outline sketch of the Obama-Ayers relationship. By its statement today, the Obama campaign has already admitted that its past statements on Ayers were a cover up. Questions will continue to dog the campaign until it finds a way to explain how Sen. Obama could not have known just who Ayers was, and what he had done, while he was working along side him for at least three years.
Obama is a lying, terrorist-loving, america-hating piece of crap with NO EXPERIENCE. Obama voters need to get their heads out of their asses.

Watch Investors sell off their holdings based on the fear of a possible Obama win.
Obama will bring the worst financial crisis and depression of all time. The recent 700 billion dollar bailout is babyshit compared to what would follow an Obama win.
Obama voters need not look for help from businesses because most will close if Obama wins.
Inner City maggots will murder one another over a slice bread. The hills will be a war zone filled with survivalists fighting over dead deer carcasses. The average person will be a caveman in less than 12 months. Please do not worry because Obama will start World War III and most of you will be a lump of smoldering charcoal. The perfect end to this will be all those Obama supporters burning in Hell for all eternity for supporting abortion. Have nice day.

Mark said: "By its statement today, the Obama campaign has already admitted that its past statements on Ayers were a cover up."
You do read a lot into a simple statement Mark.
Accept the obvious. Senator Obama and Ayers worked together for charity. They barely knew each other. They hardly had long discussions about the past or about political philosophy. Obama has worked with thousands of people over the years, there is no evidence that he had an different relationship with Ayers than anyone else on those boards or in his other work.
Senator Obama probably heard about Ayers background at some point, but probably didn't think anything about it. Why should he? They weren't friends after all, and Ayers distant past didn't have anything to do with the work they did together.
Instead of imagining wild conspiracies and massive cover-ups, Mark, you really have to employ Occam's razor here.
There is no evidence of anything but a casual working relationship because there was nothing there but a casual working relationship. And the campaign isn't changing its story or doing a massive cover-up. Everything it says is true. But when you tell someone the truth, and they don't believe you, you tend to tell the same truth in a different way the next time. Just human nature.
Please Mark, curb your imagination and start writing about real stuff.

The Bill Ayres of today is not the same person as in 1968. Friends who serve on the many "assistance" boards in the city all confirm that one cannot be involved in this type of public service and monetary support without serving with this generous man. They typify him as a person who has paid his time and found another way to bring about the positive change in the city that is needed. Check with other members of these boards, with his employer, and Mayor Daley to determine the present character of this pro-active man.

Almost as disturbing as all of Obama's friendships with dangerous people is the fact that he lies about them. He lies, lies, lies until he's backed into a corner and then he admits a little at a time. If there is not something to hide, why lie? It's like his entire life is a cover-up! How much of Obama do the terrorists own? What deal with the devil does he owe? While on the Woods Fund Board with Ayres, they gave $75,000. to the AAAN Arab American Action Network,an anti Israel group that supports illegal aliens and fights with our Homeland Security. AAAN was headed by Rashid Khalidi. He also had a fundraiser for Obama. Khalidi is a professor at Columbia University. He continues his friendship with Obama.
Remember when there was a big controversy recently because Columbia brought Iran's Ahmadinejadin to Columbia as a guest speaker? Guess who arranged it? Rashid Khalidi!!!! One degree of separation with one of our most dangerous enemies.......Barack Obama!!!!!!!!!

Ayers and Obama have a 17-year relationship. WILLIAM AYERS HELD PARTIES FOR OBAMAS CAMPAIGNS, AYERS DONATED TO OBAMAS CAMPAIGN - OBAMA AND AYERS SAT ON A BOARD TOGETHER (OBAMA WAS A GROWN MAN --- NOT 8 YEARS OLD) --- THIS IS MORE THAN AN ASSOCIATION. THEY LIVE NEAR EACH OTHER! AYERS AND HIS WIFE SOCIALIZED WITH OBAMA AND HIS WIFE.
Obama had a 20+ year relationship with Jeremiah Wright, who spewed "GOD DAMN AMERICA" Obama's church of God??? Wright is a person who for over two decades Obama turned to, was counseled by, and formed a strong personal bond with. Wright is a so-called pastor who is a divider and a hatemonger. He simply cannot effectively act as a unifying force for the USA.
The best result out of Obama's campaign may turn out to be progress in the form of all American cultures accepting that each individual, regardless of race, is to be rightfully held accountable for their actions, affiliations, as well as the doctrines that they adhere to and cultivate in others. The embarrassing litany of anarchy, filth and hate that Rev. Wright spews should not be excused away as simply "the way our people speak". Wrong is wrong and is not to be determined on a sliding scale according to skin color.
There is more, BUT IS ANYBODY LISTENING!?
WILLIAM AYERS paid to send Obama to learn the "Saul Alinsky" philosophy --- Communism!
What scares me about this election is NOT that McCain cannot win, it is that Obama has been trained that "Corruption is Necessary to achieve goals" --- SAUL ALINSKY METHOD.
You can count on voter fraud. ONLY HALF OUR STATES REQUIRE ID's TO VOTE!
Obama's "ACORN" organization is under investigation in 12 states for voter fraud.
Obama's ACORN organization aided in getting mortgages for people who were not qualified. THIS CAUSED PART OF THE CURRENT ECONOMIC CRISIS.
We can ALSO count on the fact that OBAMA IS NOT ALONE --- HE HAS THE COMBINED SUPPORT OF 20 YEARS OF "PATIENT" TERRORISTS HELPING HIM DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO WIN!
COUNTRY FIRST - VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN.

So under this standard, how long will it take Obama to start working on charity boards with Osama?

As a Christian I’m hurt and insulted by the McCain campaign. In an effort to win he has stooped to an all time low in the attempted to destroy his opponent, he has shown he was willing to destroy his running mate in the process as well. John McCain has forced Sara Palin to be someone she isn’t. He has caused her to look stupid. Now he has forced her to lie, to extent that no one could believe or trust her. There is no limit to the low he will go to win. As Christian how could we vote for such a person?

PALIN TERRORISTS Sarah Palin has been talking about Senator Obama but she is a terrorist loving radical that pals around with home grown terrorists.
HOME GROWN TERRORIST ONE-SARAH PALIN HUSBAND TODD PALIN. From 1995 to 2002 Todd Palin was registered to vote as a member of the Alaskan Independence Party that has actively pursued secession for Alaska from the United States. He is a follower of Joe Vogler who hated America. The Alaskan Independence Party quotes Vogler as stating...I am an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America or her damned institutions.... In a 1991 interview currently housed at the Oral History Program in the Rasmuson Library at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, Vogler is recorded as saying,...The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government. And I won't be buried under their damn flag. I'll be buried in Dawson. And when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home...In 1994 Vogler was buried in Dawson City, Yukon Territory, Canada, fulfilling his wish that he not be buried under the American flag.
HOME GROWN TERRORIST TWO: SARAH PALIN SPIRITUAL LEADER THOMAS MUTHEE. Thomas Muthee is a Kenyan preacher. He founded the Word of Faith Church in February 1989 in the town of Kiambu, Kenya near Nairobi. Muthee believed that a witch known as "Mama Jane" was the cause of crime and spiritual oppression in the area. Three young people died in an apparent accident in front of Mama Jane's clinic, according to Muthee's account. Muthee turned terrorist and riled up the angry townsfolk who wanted to stone her in retaliation. When the police entered Mama Jane's home to intervene, they were apparently startled by what they believed to be a demon and shot her pet python to death. Mama Jane was then questioned by police, after which she left town. Since then, Muthee has frequently referred to this event as an example of successful spiritual warfare. The content of prayers led by Muthee at the Wasilla Assembly of God have been the subject of internationally reported news stories about his beliefs as expressed in the prayers, such as that God may intervene in Alaskan state elections on behalf of Sarah Palin and that witchcraft exists, as exemplified in his widely quoted 2005 prayer over Palin before the Wasilla Assembly of God, "bring finances her way even for the campaign in the name of Jesus... Use her to turn this nation the other way around and to keep her safe from every form of witchcraft." Following Palin's subsequent 2006 victory in the governors race, this Muthee led prayer at the church was described as having “prophetic power” by church pastor, Ed Kalnins. In a June 2008 speech to the Wasilla church, Governor Palin referred to this specific prayer led by Muthee, described Muthee as “really bold,” and his way of speaking and prayer as “very, very powerful.

Check out the hate, Mark. I'll give you this though, McCain is so out of touch he doesn't realize what's going on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvXf9AUHTqM ******************************************************** And Sarah... poor sweet Sarah. "Now it turns out, one of his earliest supporters is a man named Bill Ayers," Palin said.
"Boooo!" said the crowd.
"And, according to the New York Times, he was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, 'launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and our U.S. Capitol,'" she continued.
"Boooo!" the crowd repeated.
"Kill him!" proposed one man in the audience. ****************************************************** They have no idea what they tap into when they stir this shit. You do though. Don't you Mark? I can tell you're feeling it.
