When Candidates Attack: Obama Plays the Reed Card; McCain Responds with Ayers

By the way Obama, Who is Mike Klonsky? Oh yeah, not only a friend of Ayers and a recipient of some of the Annenberg Challenge monies; Klonsky was a hardline maoists in the SDS in the late 60’s, later forming a pro-Chinese sect called the October League that morphed into the Beijing-recognized Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) and who is now a member of the Obama campaign. The more we find out, the uglier it gets. And Obama wants to bring up Reed??

so lemme get this straight, McCain has a known corrupt lobbyist working for him and he wants to throw rocks about a tagential relationship to a guy who didn't kill anybody and seerved his time for his crimes. yeah, that's the same. He doesn't address the charge, he just tries to hit back with a limp noodle.

Another good ad by the obama camp.

Obama hits back with facts - mccain reacts like this is a junior high class presidential election. The electorate will soon grow tired of the mccain camp insulting their intelligence.

Let me get this straight Obama is attacking McCain for uncovering supposed corruption that also included Democrats like Reid and so forth. It is like attacking a Police Officer who arrests a criminal!

Obama has betrayed the people of this country by wanting to increase our Government.

I also hope the College that Obama and his main Advisor friend Ayers worked at loses Federal funding for not supplying public information!!

Obama and the other socialists have caused the death of 10s of millions of people!!

Uh Uh, ee, ee, you know, but, but,
Let me be very clear.

We know John McCain and his past. He isn't trying to hide anything.

Unlike Obama who offers lame excuses whenever he is confronted. How can you trust a candidate who calls a pro-life group liars just to hide his extremely radical abortion record.

He supported infanticide then tried to cover it up. What a thoughtful politician.

Obama is truly getting desperate if he wants to bring up Mac's associates.

Let's see those ads of Wright cursing America, Ayers stomping the flag, Pfleger calling America a sin, Rezko being carted off to jail. Snippets of Obama's book where he praises his communist mentor--Frank Davis.

Is Obama stupid and desperate enough to go there?

Yes

Yes

Yes, Mary Lou!

Daley is naturally blocking access to the documents.

It would be a good idea for the public to see just intertwined Obama and Ayers are.

Obama and Ayers go back to Columbia U. Ayers father got Obama a summer job at a law firm, chose him as Chairman of the Board of the Annenburg Challenge (which Bill Ayers ran) whose purpose was to "revolutionize" public education, and Obama and Ayers sat on the Woods Fund together where they chose the recipients of the Funds grants. Why won't the media look into all of this so we can decide for ourselves whether or not any of it is relevant?

I am all for all documents coming to light. Hillary's stuff, McCain's Military records, Bush's Air National Guard records and Obama's education committee records. Pleas look at the relationships of these and what they really mean. Obama was a child in the 1960s as was I. Does anyone think that Obama chose to have Ayres sit on the same committee with him? It association by living your life. Give it up or put everything on the table.

"DO your homework people since the media won't do it. "

Do due diligence and support these baseless assertions.

Revolution We Can Believe In!
- Chairman Mao Zedong

Yes we can, Chairman. Let me be just a small devil, it's Change for me.

It's honestly good that McCain is bringing up Ayers this early. That way all can be aired and the fact that there is absolutely nothing wrong with their association can be aired. And then Obama can move on to winning the election.

Lisa, from Obama Chief Strategist David Axelrod: “Bill Ayers lives in his neighborhood. Their kids attend the same school … They’re certainly friendly, they know each other, as anyone whose kids go to school together.”

Oh wait; I get it! Since Axelrod said it, Obama is scot free - just like when he says he didn't know anything about that survey in the IL State Senate that had his handwritten notations on it. Got it.

A new kind of politics where staffers do all the work so they can take all the blame. And any heavy lifting is above Obama's paygrade.

Obama is showing just how incompetent he is by trying to paint McCain by his associations. Does he really want to open a can of worms that will come back at him as a bucket of snakes? Apparently he does. Well the gloves are off. McCain previously criticized ads that invoked Rev. Wright; now he has every right - and every obligation - to hit Obama with every past nefarious association in his portfolio.

Why would they want to keep the records a secret?

I think this is tricky for both camps in a way. I am more persuaded that McCain has done wrong, by not investigating Reed further (Why? Because he wanted to curry favor with right wingers in the GOP? Or at least not upset them?) But at the same time McCain's attack could play into the narrative very well, so Obama has to be careful with the Reed card.

Rezko is supposed to be sentenced on September 2.

What contrasting bios on these two on CNN tonight. McCain's was full of friends, service, personal failure (his divorce), successes, family...it was just so full.....AND THEN THERE WAS OBAMA'S. I actually felt sad for him with the dead beat parents he had. Both abandoned him, dad at 2 and mom when she sent him back from Indonesia to live with granny while she stayed with hubby #2 in Indonesia. I have to say, he had to do alot on his own and I commend him for that. I still would never vote for him (although I'm pro choice too) and I like that he doesn't seem to get ruffled much....but I still could never vote for him.
McCAIN ALL THE WAY!

UMMM lets see that was really the I'm a differant kind of politican(yes Obama) who started the whos who of nasty charectors hiding in the closet attack. Must be Obamas forgotten his long list of shady charectors,Wright,Rezko,and I'm proud I bombed Americans Ayers.This one term Senator with no experience and no concept of foriegn policy dufus is amazing. I want a clean campaign,I'll take public financing oops geez I'm getting more money from donations I can always say I never promised.Obama promises and his campaign platforms will be as easily forgotten as those two promises were.

This is just one of a handful of things that will kill Obama's chances.

Couldn't happen to a more loathesome guy.

Yeeehaw!
