At the Foothills of the Smokey Mountains, Obama Assails McCain Attacks

McCain's wants to Cut 1.3 Trillion Dollars from Medicaid and Medicare to finance his 300 Billion dollar tax cuts for Corporations and the top 10% richest taxpapers. Give $5,000.00 healthcare to the companies and have to pay tax for receiving this little bit of coverage. McCain's Campaign Manager has confirmed this information is true. WHAT???? That Is Not Cutting The Fat. That Is Cutting Our Families Who Have Worked Hard All Their Lives.
Bush/McCain have ignored the American people and our suffering for 8 years and on November 4th, the American people will finally have their say and ignore them. OBAMA/BIDEN 2008 When America Fights Back !!!! Enough is Enough !!!!

WHO IS PALIN?? SHE IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR ABUSE OF AUTHORITY. SHE STOLE OVER $44,000 OF TAXPAYERS MONEY PAYING HERSELF PER DIEMS TO STAY AT HOME. SINCE SHE HAS RELEASED HER TAX RETURNS, SHE HAS ALSO APPARENTLY CHEATED THE IRS OR WE ALL SHOULD GET HER TAX PREPARER. SHE FIRED A LIBRARIAN. SHE FIRED A GOOD WORKER MONEGAN FOR A PERSONAL VENDETTA. SHE HIRED HER WASILLA CLASSMATES IN TOP ROLES IN HER ADMINISTRATION. BASICALLY SHE IS CRAZY AND A CROOK.

PALIN AND MCCAIN, ONE WHO HAS BEEN FOUND CORRUPT AND NAMED AS ONE OF THE KEATING 5 AND PALIN WHO IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR CORRUPTION BY ABUSING HER AUTHORITY IS ATTACKING WHO? NOT OBAMA, BUT SOMEONE WHO OBAMA LIVED NEAR AND WHO IS A PROFESSOR AT A UNIVERSITY. THIS INDIVIDUAL MAY HAVE DONE CRIMES, BUT IT WAS IN THE SIXTIES WHEN OBAMA WAS 8 YEARS OLD. YOU DESPERATE, IGNORANT, PITIFUL CANDIDATES. YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED ENOUGH TO RUN A DOG KENNEL, NO OFFENSE TO DOGS, YET ALONE A COUNTRY.

CAN YOU SEE PALIN IN A ROOM WITH NATIONAL LEADERS WITHOUT A SCRIPT IS FRIGHTENING. CAN YOU SEE HER ASKING PUTTIN, "CAN I CALL YOU POOT". WE WOULD BE THE LAUGHING STOCK AND JOKE OF THE WORLD.

JOHN SIDNEY MCCAIN – NOT COUNTRY FIRST, NOT AMERICANS FIRST.
DESPERATE, PITIFUL, ANGRY OLD MCCAIN

ABANDONED AMERICA FOR EIGHT YEARS
MCCAIN IS NOW ABANDONING AMERICAN WHEN THEY NEED HIM THE MOST FOR LIES AND SWINGBOAT SMEAR GAMES.

MCCAIN IS HANGING AMERICA OUT TO DRY AND FOCUSING ON LIES

MCCAIN IS NOT HELPING AMERICA WITH STRATEGIES AND IDEAS TO HELP BECAUSE HE HAS NONE !!!!

AMERICA’S FINANCIAL ECONOMY IS IN RUIN FROM THE 26 YEARS OF DEREGULATION AND 8 YEARS OF BUSH, 159,000 JOBS LOST FOR THE 9TH STRAIGHT MONTH OF JOB LOSSES, HEALTHCARE COVERAGE IS DOWN,
10,000 FORECLOSURES A DAY, 401K’S ARE DOWN, AND MCCAIN AND

AS YOU HOLLAR FOR HELP, MCCAIN IGNORES YOU AND INSTEAD GO FULL FORCE ON SMEARS. MCCAIN DOES NOT CARE ANYTHING ABOUT COUNTRY OR ABOUT ANY OF US.

EIGHT YEARS OF IGNORING AMERICA. ON NOVEMBER 4TH WE WILL IGNORE YOU AND PALIN.
OBAMA/BIDEN 2008 – WHEN AMERICA FIGHTS BACK.

BEYOND EMBASSING, MCCAIN IS PATHETIC !!!
First The Savings and Loan and Now Wall Street. No Maverick. Corrupt McCain.
From the Wikipedia. Unlike McCain’s Lies, This is The Truth. Same McCain, Different Failure. Our Country cannot afford McCain/Palin.
The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The five senators, Alan Cranston (D-CA), Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ), John Glenn (D-OH), John McCain (R-AZ), and Donald W. Riegle (D-MI), were accused of improperly aiding Charles H. Keating, Jr., chairman of the failed Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which was the target of an investigation by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB).
The core allegation of the Keating Five affair is that Keating had made contributions of about $1.3 million to various U.S. Senators, and he called on those Senators to help him resist regulators. The regulators backed off, to later disastrous consequences.

McCains and Palins ideas are way better than Obama's. I used to like the democrat side but lately it is not what it used to be. It was not only Bush that got us into this mess on the economy, it was the democratic congress. Obama seems to have a lot of you hypnotized. Wake up. I didn't vote for Bush but I will vote for McCain/Palin.

Change2008....
And your point is?
Playing this guilt by association game can get dangerous for both sides...I certainly think that if pushed hard enough it will hurt McCain / Palin more than it will Obama / Biden

The former Weatherman, William Ayers, now holds the position of distinguished professor of education at the University of Illinois-Chicago. Although never convicted of any crime, he told the New York Times in September 2001, "I don't regret setting bombs...I feel we didn't do enough."

Both Obama and Ayers were members of the board of an anti-poverty group, the Woods Fund of Chicago, between 1999 and 2002. In addition, Ayers contributed $200 to Obama's re-election fund to the Illinois State Senate in April 2001, as reported here. They lived within a few blocks of each other in the trendy Hyde Park section of Chicago, and moved in the same liberal-progressive circles.

THE STATE OF THE VOTERS IN OUR COUNTRY IS PATHETIC!!!!!!!
I heard some time ago from a European Guest Professor that ‘the average Americans are idiots’
I was offended by that remark at that time.
But now I am convinced that he was true 100% and more.
My reason: Average Americans falling in mass for McCain’s gimmick of Palin.
There is no other explanation why Palin should get this much attention. In any country on this planet Palin would have been dismissed the very next day as a ‘hail-mary-pass’ from McCain, which is really the truth.
Palin’s executive experience:
There are about 50+ civic or professional organizations in this country with 10,000 or more membership (AMA, NACP, trade unions, etc., etc.), with budgets more than the city that Palin managed as a Mayor!!!! — Now anybody with at least a peanut brain can figure out the gimmick of Palin!!
Note:
An idiot may be defined as one who can not think for self, and just follows somebody else all the time. There is a large population of our country that fit perfectly under this definition.

No one gives a crap about Ayers and/or Wright, both are old news.
Only folks that care, are bitter Republicans who know the end is near.
To be honest no one gives a crap about Keating 5 either.
I want to know what these candidates are going to do for the ecomony.
I want to know how will I continue to pay my mortgage and fill up my tank.

Lets talk about how Lehman Brothers CEO Richard Fuld defended the $484 Million
he's made in salary and bonuses since 2000. Lets talk about how four days before
Lehman Brothers filed bankruptcy, Lehman's compensation committee requested
the board give three departing executives over $20 million in "special payments."

Lets talk about even after Richard Fuld pleaded with Secretary Paulson for a federal rescue,
Lehman continued to squander millions on executive compensation," Lets talk about
George H. Walker a member of Lehman's executive committee and a cousin of President Bush
"mocked" at the idea of returning bonuses recieved after it was clear Lehman Brothers was going
bankrupt.

I see now why President Bush was in such a hurry to bail out his friends, family and buddies.
Lets talk about that, I DONT GIVE A CRAP ABOUT SMEAR CAMPAIGNS. I'm more concerned
on seeing that Bush and guys like Bush never step foot in The White House again. A vote for McCain
is a vote for more of the same, stop being stupid, now is not the time for stupidity, Anyone supporting
McCain/Palin is an enabler, a racist or just a complete fool.

All of you need tu hear me an vote for my man obama. He will give you change. When you want a paycheck he will give you change. When you need to fill up your car he will give you a lot of air and a little change. When you go to the grocery store he will have given you change. When your pockets come out empty he will leave you with change. The change you want is the change you will get. Take my word for it.

I agree with you Judy. Obama started the attacks from the very beginning. Everybody needs to check out faithfreedom.org. That is something really scary. I'm voting for McCain/Palin. I never voted before but I am now.

What do you mean "Obama Assails McCain Attacks"? Obama attacked McCain on all sides all the time and he was fierce. Just look at his angry eyes with frown. And he shouted too.

LIE: "My view is that the community organizer was really a sham event. Bill Ayers was testing him."(Andy Martin, Hannity's America, October 5, 2008, "Obama and His Friends: History of Radicalism")
TRUTH: Bill Ayers had nothing to do with Obama's community organizing job. It's pure lunacy to imagine that Ayers was "testing" Obama.

LIE: Obama's "community organizing is a grand scheme perpetuated by none other than William Ayers."(Sean Hannity, Hannity's America, October 5, 2008, "Obama and His Friends: History of Radicalism")
TRUTH: Obama's community organizing was not a vast conspiracy for revolution devised by Bill Ayers.

LIE: "They live half a mile from William Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist" and "Just a half a mile from those homes is Louis Farrakhan."(Hannity's America, October 5, 2008, "Obama and His Friends: History of Radicalism")
TRUTH: It's true, of course, that Obama lives in this same neighborhood, as do tens of thousands of other people who presumably are also guilty by geographical association. The logic of this argument would be, if you live half a mile from a sex offender, then you agree with child molesters.

LIE: Obama and Ayers "appeared together at various public engagements...it would seem that they are more than just a little bit friendly."(Sean Hannity, Hannity's America, October 5, 2008, "Obama and His Friends: History of Radicalism")
TRUTH: Appearing on a speaking panel is not a sign of friendship. There is no evidence that Obama had any role in ever inviting Ayers to speak.

LIE: In 1995, Ayers and Dohrn "hosted a political coming out party for a young Barack Obama."(Sean Hannity, Hannity's America, October 5, 2008, "Obama and His Friends: History of Radicalism")
TRUTH: This was an event for Alice Palmer, not a "coming-out party" for Obama. Obama was invited by Palmer to the event.

But long before tonight's Hannity, the right-wing has been spreading a series of lies about Obama and Ayers.

LIE: "Bill Ayers is an unrepentant terrorist."
TRUTH: Bill Ayers is not, and apparently never was, a terrorist. The conventional definition of a terrorist is someone who tries to kill innocent people for political purposes. As Factcheck.org noted, In fact, nobody died as a result of bombings in which Ayers said he participated as part of the Weather Underground. (Factcheck.org)

LIE: "I'm sure he's very patriotic, but his relationship with Mr. Ayers is open to question....Because, if you're going to associate and have as a friend and serve on a board and have a guy kick off your campaign that says he's unrepentant, that he wished he'd bombed more. And then, the worst thing of all, that I think really indicates Senator Obama's attitude, is he had the incredible statement that he compared Mr. Ayers, an unrepentant terrorist -- an unrepentant terrorist, with Senator Tom Coburn. Senator Coburn, a physician who goes to Oklahoma on the weekends and brings babies into life.' (John McCain, April 20, 2008, ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos)
TRUTH: Obama was not friends with Ayers. Ayers did not kick off Obama's campaign. And Obama was not comparing Ayers' actions with Coburn. Obama was pointing out that he works with people even when he disagrees with them.

LIE: "Obama's oldest friend in politics is a murderer and unrepentant terrorist. Why are they friends?"(ExposeObama.com email, Sept. 7, 2008)
TRUTH: Ayers isn't Obama's oldest friend in politics.

LIE: Ayers was "Obama's boss."(Jerome Corsi, p. 147)
TRUTH: The chair of a foundation board is not the boss of the members.

LIE: Jerome Corsi claimed Alice "Palmer would never have introduced Obama to the Hyde Park political community at the Ayres-Dohrn home unless she saw an affinity between Ayers and Dohrn's radical leftist history, her own history of far-leftist politics, and the politics of Barack Obama."(p. 137)
TRUTH: The event wasn't held primarily for Obama. It was Palmer's own announcement that she would run for Congress. Obama was there as Palmer's endorsed successor for her Senate seat, but there's no evidence that he had any role in deciding to hold it at Ayers' home.

LIE: Jerome Corsi claims about Obama: "either he did not know Ayers and Dohrn are still radical leftists--in which case he is implausibly naive--or Obama did know, which would confirm he joined with Ayers and Dohrn because Obama too continues to believe, albeit silently and secretly, in the Far Left's radical agenda."(p. 140)
TRUTH: Obama probably knew Ayers was a leftist, but he didn't care. Obama believes in the notion of a free society, where you work with people you disagree with.

LIE: "Even today, Ayers appears to hold the same radical political beliefs he did in the Weather Underground, and Obama had to know that was also the case when he first met Ayers in 1995."(Jerome Corsi, p. 147)
TRUTH: Corsi doesn't explain how Obama "had to know" Ayers' views on politics when he first met him. Telepathy? Mind-reading?

LIE: David Freddoso calls Obama's distant connection with Bill Ayers "a remarkable relationship for a presidential nominee to have."(p. 122)
TRUTH: It reality, it's not remarkable at all. The notion that people should resign from foundations and refuse to speak in public in order to avoid any connection to a former radical never convicted of a crime is absurd.

LIE: "The major media simply have not reported on Obama's two years at New York's Columbia University, where, among other things, he lived a mere quarter-mile from former terrorist Bill Ayers."(Tony Blankley, September 24, 2008)
TRUTH: Thousands upon thousands of people lived near Bill Ayers in Manhattan. Obama didn't know Ayers.

LIE: Mr. Ayers founded CAC and was its guiding spirit. No one would have been appointed the CAC chairman without his approval. (Stanley Kurtz, Wall Street Journal)
TRUTH: Kurtz has no evidence to support his claim. Ayers was one of several people involved in starting the group, and was not its guiding spirit. According to the New York Times reporting, Obama was recruited by other CAC leaders who knew him through the Joyce Foundation.

LIE: Mr. Obama and Mr. Ayers worked as a team to advance the CAC agenda. (Stanley Kurtz, Wall Street Journal)
TRUTH: Kurtz has no evidence that Obama and Ayers worked as a team. Ayers attended six meetings of the group along with Obama.

LIE: "Obama is hanging around with Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright. By the way, Bill Ayers advertised himself as being a communist with a small c just when he was beginning to
partner with Obama on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. (Stanley Kurtz, Hudson Institute, Washington DC, October 1, 2008)
TRUTH: Contrary to this McCarthyist attack, there's no evidence that Obama ever knew that Ayers supposedly called himself a communist, nor is that a good reason for Obama to end his work on school reform and charitable activities.

LIE: "who provided Obama with the only executive experience he has ever had in his young life? Bill Ayers, unrepentant domestic terrorist, communist revolutionary... (Joseph Farah, World Net Daily, October 2, 2008)
TRUTH: Ayers did not provide Obama with the Chicago Annenberg Challenge job. And Obama has also had executive experience in community organizing, running a voter registration drive, as well as running his campaigns. The New York Times reported, "In fact, according to several people involved, Mr. Ayers played no role in Mr. Obama's appointment. Instead, it was suggested by Deborah Leff, then president of the Joyce Foundation, a Chicago-based group whose board Mr. Obama, a young lawyer, had joined the previous year."(Scott Shane, New York Times, October 4, 2008)

LIE: "Barack Obama is friends with Ayers, defending him as quote 'respectable and mainstream.'"(American Issues Project ad, August 2008)
TRUTH: David Axelrod described them as "friendly," not friends. Obama didn't call Ayers respectable and mainstream (although Ayers now is); Obama's campaign on his website posted an op-ed in the press that described Ayers that way.

LIE: "I can't understand why somebody who wants to be president of the United States, I'll be perfectly honest with you, would want to associate or not condemn the actions of people in the past."(Paul Ragonese, April 27, 2008, Fox News' Hannity's America)
TRUTH: Obama has condemned the past actions of Bill Ayers and called him somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago. (April 16, 2008 debate)

LIE: "Mr. Ayers founded CAC and was its guiding spirit. No one would have been appointed the CAC chairman without his approval."(Stanley Kurtz, Wall Street Journal)
TRUTH: Kurtz has no evidence to support his claim. Ayers was one of several people involved in starting the group, and was not its guiding spirit.

LIE: "Mr. Obama and Mr. Ayers worked as a team to advance the CAC agenda."(Stanley Kurtz, Wall Street Journal)
TRUTH: Kurtz has no evidence that Obama and Ayers worked as a team. Ayers attended six meetings of the group along with Obama.

LIE: About Bill Ayers, "Barack Obama really couldn't bring himself to say 'you know, I really don't like that guy.' That was too much for him to say. He had to talk about what a decent guy he is and what a good professor."(Jim Geraghty, "Hype: The Obama Effect")
TRUTH: There is no record of Obama during the campaign calling Ayers "decent" and "a good professor." In fact, Obama really did bring himself to criticize Ayers, denouncing him during a Democratic debate as "somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago."

LIE: "Obama was feted at a fundraising event" at Ayers' home.("Hype: The Obama Effect")
TRUTH: Obama never had a fundraising event at Ayers' home.

LIE: Barack Obama and Bill Ayers had a close working relationship...the two of them were running the foundation together. (Stanley Kurtz, Fox News Channel's Fox and Friends, September 29, 2008)
TRUTH: Kurtz has no evidence of a "close working relationship" beyond attending a few meetings together. The notion that Obama and Ayers were the only ones running the Chicago Annenberg Challenge is absolutely false.

LIE: "The most important smoking gun is that Barack Obama was funding Bill Ayers' radical educational projects."(Stanley Kurtz, Fox News Channel's Fox and Friends, September 29, 2008)
TRUTH: This is false. Obama was the president of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, not its dictator. There's no evidence that Obama made any funding decisions. Moreover, it would have been completely unprofessional for anyone, including Obama, to ban Bill Ayers from receiving funding for educational projects because of alleged radical activities decades earlier which Ayers was never convicted of. Kurtz has no evidence that projects were judged based on anything other than their merits. This is a pure smear by association.

LIE: Emails "give us strong evidence that there may have been a cover-up in Bill Ayers' role choosing Barack Obama."(Stanley Kurtz, Fox News Channel's Fox and Friends, September 29, 2008)
TRUTH: This is a fabrication. The email Kurtz is referring to shows absolutely no kind of cover up. In fact, it shows exactly the opposite. In his blog, Kurtz quotes the entire email Ken Rolling wrote to CAC founders Warren Chapman and Anne Hallett and notes that Sam Dillon, Education Reporter for the New York Times, was working on an article. Rolling wrote about Dillon, He is trying to understand how Barack got 'picked' for the CAC board, by whom, why, etc. - I have avoided that question head-on though I believe Barack was Debbie Leff's/Joyce nomination." This email reveals no kind of cover-up, and the New York Times article found several sources that said Obama was not picked by Ayers.

LIE: "There is a secret group in the Obama-Biden campaign tasked with shutting off any leaks from the record that links Barack Obama to his longtime adviser and mentor Bill Ayers, professor of education at the University of Illinois and unrepentant Weatherman terrorist and fugitive from the 1970s....There is a substantial independent report from a major Democratic source that confirms Diamond's suspicions. The source confirms the unit is led by Bill Ayers himself and likely includes Tom Hayden and other members of 'Progressives for Obama.' Most critically, the Democratic source says this unit has direct access to media adviser David Axelrod of the Obama-Biden campaign."(John Batchelor, Human Events, September 12, 2008)
TRUTH: There is no "secret group." Hayden reports, "I am not part of any effort, personal or organized, trying to protect Obama against any leaks." The notion that Ayers is leading the "unit" is laughable. According to the University of Illinois library, "all papers have been available since August 26" about the school reform group that Ayers and Obama worked on. Diamond, the source cited for the existence of the "unit," declares, "I have no evidence of such a unit." Diamond added, "I told Batchelor that I would not speak to Human Events yet he made up a quote from me and placed it in his article."

Grey Matter,
I'll tell you how were going to pay for the deficit and this boondoggle of a war! Charge it to our kids! This is the same ole’ same ole fiscal policy of the last eight years. What’s really disturbing is I keep reading from GOP voters who mention tax cuts this and tax cut that but no mention of how the Republican’s will pay for it or any reduction in spending to make up for the tax cuts. It’s borrow and spend as usual! It’s a what’s in it for me mentality and the hell with the reality that eventually someone will have to pay but why should they care? They’ll be dead when the bill arrives but there kids won’t!

TO: Grey Matter....maybe "Fact Check" on Mr. Teflon and ACORN is in order...but I am not too sure about them, either. No one suggests that Barry...Barack...Marlboro man...whatever he calls himself ...was on the payroll of ACORN as an employee, but it sure was the wrong place for a good Community Organizer to start approving and shoveling $ to under his ok...do your homework, look up the facts about ACORN and Barry's involvement with it. Thanks.

..The Keating Five???....is this the best Axelrod, Plouffe and Company can come up with? I can do better than that, and I am voting for the "old guy." Barry..Barack...whatever you call yourself these days, maybe you should give them a time out and have a smoke with them. JUDGMENT? I don't think so....

To Conison, all I can add is AMEN. I am young enough to still have my idealism intact and old enough not to be fooled by demagoguery. Palin and McCain are a perfect marriage of idiocy and cynicism. It's time for American citizens to engage their brains and THINK and ANALYZE what a McCain-Palin presidency truly would be like. I,myself,would find it a frightening prospect.

Vote for NONE OF THE ABOVE. Obama will put us all in poverty, McCain failed to act. Don't vote for the terrorist supporter Obama. With Obama as President the Middle Class will disappear and the Rich well they will be still be Rich. Under OBAMA the Middle Class will be in Poverty before you know it. Vote for NONE OF THE ABOVE.
