Banner Calls On "Barak" Obama To Repudiate "Ayres"

From CBS News' Maria Gavrilovic:

(MIAMI) As Michelle and Barack Obama took the stage at Bicentennial Park tonight, a plane flew over the event with a banner that read, "Barak Repudiate Ayres, Michelle Repudiate Dorhn." As you may have noticed, Obama's first name is spelled wrong on the banner, as is Ayers' last name.

Obama has spent a good portion of his speech denouncing political attacks and the negative tone of the campaign.

"One thing we know is that change never comes without a fight," he said. "In the final days of campaigns, the say-anything, do-anything politics too often takes over. We've seen it before. And we're seeing it again today. The ugly phone calls. The misleading mail and TV ads. The careless, outrageous comments. All aimed at keeping us from working together, all aimed at stopping change."

by tigerrram9 October 22, 2008 5:29 PM EDT: There we go again republicans tryin to instill fear on the American people. Can''t the republicans win without the fear factor, answer probably not.
McCain was a foot soldier for the PNAC...google it. Sarah & Todd Palin members of the AIP (Alaska Independence Party). WOW and they say country first..What country are the rupublicans referring to.
Trying to spread fear because you are losing..what losers. Our country deserves better than your so called Mavericks...wake up America..see the real john, todd & sarah...that is fear..; Reply to this comment

"I''m an Alaskan, not an American. I''ve got no use for America or her damned institutions."

Jo Vogel, Founder of AIP

Sarah Palin addressed the Alaskan Independence Party Convention a little over 6 months ago, happily telling its attendees that she shared its "vision of upholding the Constitution of our great state", curiously not mentioning the Constitution of the United States. She encouraged AIP to "keep up the good work".; Reply to this comment
