Obama's Wikipedia Page Lacks References to Ayers, Birth Certificate
By Michael Kraskin - Politics DailyFox News delivers a much more researched report of a story originally broken by by World Net Daily regarding some recent developments to Barack Obama's Wikipedia page: Critics noted over the weekend that President Obama's page on the free online encyclopedia had been edited to remove any mention of his links to former Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers, and to allow only a brief citation of his connection to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright - though pages for Ayers and Wright are heavily peppered with references to the president, including subsections on both pages that detail their past ...
Bill Ayers Wants to Get Together With Sarah Palin
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyNo, not in some sick, erect couch potato kind of way.Campaign boogieman William Ayers has kind of a genius idea for himself and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. From CNN:"I did send her a note after the election," he says of Palin in the upcoming issue of the New York Times magazine. "I suggested that we have a talk show together called 'Pallin' Around With Sarah and Bill.' I haven't heard back."A show like that would be absolutely huge, and it would make Crossfire look like Barney and Friends. Actually, there's a good chance that the Bill & Sarah show could hire away some of Barney's writers.I ...
Do Americans Prefer Ayers and Wright to Limbaugh?
By Caleb Howe - Politics DailyDo Americans Prefer Ayers and Wright to Limbaugh? That's what Max Blumenthal said at the Daily Beast last week, much to the enduring joy and schadenfreude of the online left. The story made the rounds among the online left, including Media Matters, Alternet, Andrew Sullivan, and even Political Machine, not to mention hundreds of other smaller leftblogs. Daily Beast included it in their morning mass email. It's just exactly the sort of thing a left-blogger loves to hear: not only were Republicans idiots for asking about Ayers, and losers for listening to Limbaugh, but they are lonely outsiders. ...
Rush Limbaugh Less Popular that Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers?
By David Knowles - Politics DailyBack on October 24, the Democratic research firm Greenberg-Quinlan-Rosner released a poll which found that Rush Limbaugh had a lower approval rating than either firebrand pastor Jeremiah Wright or former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers. Whether or not you buy the poll's findings, it is undeniable that Limbaugh has received a whole lot of attention of late, rising in visibility to the point where many even within the Republican Party are openly referring to the entertainer as a leading GOP thinker. The talk show host has made no secret of his desire for Obama to fail at his new job, and ...

Farrakhan, Ayers Vote at Obama's Polling Place
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyFrom Jake Tapper: CHICAGO, Ill. -- Among the other voters who have shown up to vote at Shoesmith Elementary School this morning, where Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., will vote: Louis Farrakhan and William Ayers. Who cares? Maybe people like Joe the Plumbish, who make decisions that affect the course of our country based on "logic" that equates a 3% marginal tax rate increase for quarter-millionaires with Chairman Mao, and a vociferous pledge of friendship and protection to Israel, with the imminent death of same. People who barely stay awake in church themselves, but suddenly care what someone ...
McCain 3: Rise of the Machines
By David Knowles - Politics DailyAs Sam Stein reported earlier today, John McCain appears to be employing the same Robo-call firm that was used to smear him in the 2000, when he ran against President Bush. The firm, FLS-Connect, is currently spreading McCain's message that Barack Obama "worked closely" with Bill Ayers, and therefore may be a threat to America's safety:Any tie between the McCain campaign and FLS represents an ironic twist of fate and a reflection of just how far the Arizona Republican has moved politically in the last eight years. During the 2000 election, FLS and Larsonhelpled then-presidential candidate ...
There's Not a Tit For Every Tat
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyIt has been an explosive week on the campaign trail, and emotions are running high. As David Knowles and I have chronicled (here and here, respectively), there has been a particularly ugly arc to the McCain/Palin campaign this week. It seemed to culminate in McCain's baby steps toward defusing the whole thing, but he was unable to take his medicine from John Lewis.It's not too late, and the days up to and including Wednesday's debate will tell the tale, but some reactions on the right to this story have been a little tone deaf. There is this knee-jerk tendency to try and point out the "other ...

Shocker: Palin Exonerates Self in 'Troopergate'
By David Knowles - Politics DailyThis breaking news has just come in to the Political Machine bureau: Sarah Palin has looked into the charges against her (which are also being investigated by the Alaska Legislature) and has found that she did nothing wrong. You'd think that such a preposterous concept might be the stuff of satire, a great parody put forth by the likes of the Onion. Alas, this news comes to us from the Associated Press:On the eve of a report on a legislative panel's abuse-of-power investigation into Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, campaign officials released their own report clearing her of any wrongdoing. Perhaps ...
