Default McCain: Obama link to ex-radical is honesty issue

By PHILIP ELLIOTT
Associated Press
October 10, 2008
WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) -- Republican presidential candidate John McCain said Thursday that questions about Democratic rival Barack Obama's association with a former war protester linked to Vietnam-era bombings are part of a broader issue of honesty.

In his strongest personal criticism since his faltering campaign began casting Obama as an unknown and unacceptable candidate, McCain told supporters that Obama had not been truthful in describing his relationship with former radical William Ayers. The Arizona senator also said Obama himself has "a clear radical, far-left pro-abortion record."

Loud cheers from 4,000 people gathered at a sports complex near Milwaukee greeted McCain's attacks over Ayers, who helped found the Weather Underground, a Vietnam protest group that bombed government buildings 40 years ago. Obama has pointed out that he was a child at the time and first met Ayers and his wife, ex-radical Bernadine Dohrn, a quarter-century later.

"McCain told supporters that Obama had not been truthful in describing his relationship with former radical William Ayers"
Common McCain - every time Obama opens his mouth he changes his tune. List his lies and call him out. You have your final opportinity next week at the debate. Nevery mind the stupid questions being asked. You need to call that liar out and when you are finished listing his lies, you need to name names of the people who caused the econimic disaster, Dood, Pelosi, Frank, Obama and others and promose if you are in office, investigations and prosecutions to drive them from office and put them in jail.- NOW! It's yours to lose.

What if it's not an honesty issue -- what if Obama's really been telling the truth?

Obama has described his association with Tony Rezko as “boneheaded,” his failure to recognize Jeremiah Wright’s radicalism as ignorance, his friendship with Bill Ayers as a poor assumption; can we really turn the keys to the White House over to a man whose life is defined by mistakes, failures and bad judgment?

Good point. Obama is painting himself further into a corner every time he tells another lie.

Here is some more information about Obama's relationship with Ayers:

Walsh: Ayers-Obama Ties Deeper Than Reported

from the article -
During the 2008 Democratic presidential primaries, Obama replied to a query about his relationship with Ayers by claiming that he knew him but only slightly as a man in the neighborhood whose children attended the same school as the Obama children. Now Ayers and Bernandine have two sons, Malik, named for Malcolm X, and Sayd, named for a Black Panther killed in a shootout with New Jersey police. Both are in their late 20s or early 30s. Obama’s children, however, are 9 and 6 and not likely to be attending school with the Ayers children. This incident is an example of Obama’s evasiveness regarding his relationship with Ayers.

Photo Discovered Of Obama With Fellow Chicago Socialist Party Members

Great... We're two shakes from having a former(?) Marxist as president.

A photo just surfaced from 1996 featuring a group of New Party Socialist candidates posing together after impressive election wins in Chicago.

Bloggers New Zeal and The Big Feed discovered this photo of Barack Obama and other New Party socialists including Danny K Davis (center), from the front page of New Party News, Spring 1996:

Just amazing that one man can have so many shady connections and FOOL so many into voting for and supporting him!

I mentioned this in another thread, but I think it is significent. Timothy McVeigh bombed a federal building, people died and he is now pushing up daisys. Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn blew up federal buildings, people died and not only did they escape justice, but they're still held in godlike thrall by the American Left including Barak Obama.
