Obama Camp: Not the Ayers He Knew
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyStung 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. ...
McCain: Release the Hounds!
By David Knowles - Politics DailyWhat else is John McCain supposed to do? He can't win on the issues. He can't win using gimmicks. His only choice is to try to slash and burn. To strike fear in the hearts of the American electorate. Hey, when even Karl Rove declares that the Republican is about to lose the race, you know that said Republican will be getting busy with some Karl Rove tactics to try to cook up some panic. And so, this is how the final month of the campaign will play out. Like a faint, fading echo, McCain's promises to rise above politics as usual will be drowned out by the increasingly absurd, desperate howls ...
Palin's Remarks Put Ayers in the News
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyRepublican vice-presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin, fresh off a strong performance in the vice-presidential debate against Sen. Joe Biden, has begun to assume a more high-profile role in the McCain campaign. And if her first venture into the limelight is any indication, she may be successful in changing the narrative of the campaign with one month to go until Election Day. At three events on Saturday, Palin referenced Sen. Barack Obama's ties to 60's radical William Ayers, the former leader of the notorious Weather Underground, a domestic terrorist organization that carried out a bombing ...
University Shields Obama Records from Press
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyThe University of Illinois at Chicago finds itself in the middle of a growing controversy over the records of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which it maintains at its Richard J. Daley Library. Sen. Barack Obama served on the Annenberg board of directors from 1995 until the project ended in 2001, spending three years as its first chairman. It was on the broad of the Annenberg Challenge where Sen. Obama served with the notorious former head of the 1960's radical group, William Ayers. The Annenberg Challenge was founded by Ayers and was responsible for administering a private grant of nearly ...
Media Discovers Another Obama Weakness
By Dave - Politics DailyThis is what primaries are supposed to be about. Instead of coronations, they should be vetting processes where disastrous flaws with a candidate are discovered before a general election. The Democrats problem is the same as the Republicans: all of their candidates are incredibly flawed. Up until recently, the Democrats believed that Obama was a knight in shining armor, but recent events have determined that the armor is not quite as shiny as they thought. First we had reverend Wright damning America, and now the media has uncovered another huge problem in Obama's association with an American ...
Clinton Has Bigger Weather Underground Problem
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyDuring tonight's Democratic debate on ABC, George Stephanopoulos did Sean Hannity's bidding by asking Barack Obama about his supposed connection to Weatherman William Ayres. Obama was ready, cramming the query right back at the former Clinton aide, sideways, and making excellent points about these types of smears by association. Shortly after the question was asked, the Obama campaign released a memo related to Obama's answer. Via email:WHAT CLINTON DIDN'T MENTION – President Clinton Pardoned Members of the Weather Underground SUSAN ROSENBERG Clinton Gave A "Controversial" Pardon To ...
