This is so low. What are they even trying to imply? He has served on community service boards with Ayers who is now and has been for a long time a distinguished professor. Do they mean to say that if Obama is elected he will use his power to commune with terrorists? It is so ridiculous and low. There is no politician who has not had some ''associations'' with people of ill repute. McCain certainly included. The question is - what was the association, was there impropriety? and how will that effect them as president. This has long ago been answered regarding Ayers. It is sad to see someone tout themselves as an honorable war hero and run such a dishonorable campaign. As for Sarah Palin, she doesn''t know what''s going on. She is just a tool and too ignorant to know it.

Bill Ayers and a Barack Obama connection.

Chicago has a tradition for bomb makers beginning with the Haymarket affair bomb that killed 7 police officers in 1886. The bomb was thrown during a May Day rally for striking workers. There is a statue in Haymarket Square marking the place of the bombings.

A Chicago native the Unabomber is now serving a life sentence at SuperMax Federal Penitentiary in Florence Colorado for killing three people with mail bombs. The Unabomber Ted Kazinski grew up in the Chicago area, graduated from Harvard University before getting his PhD in mathematics from the University of Michigan, and then taught at U.C. at Berkley. The Unabomber received his moniker by targeting universities and airlines. Ted Kazinski later targeted professors at Northwestern University in Chicago and a United Airlines President with his bomb packages.

Bill Ayers the Weatherman bomb maker is two years younger than Ted Kaczynski the Unabomber, but both have Chicago connections and both received degrees from the University of Michigan about the same time. Bill Ayers received an undergraduate degree in American studies and Ted Kazinski received his Phd in mathematics from the University of Michigan a year earlier than Bill Ayers%u2019s undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan. Bill Ayers went on to get his Masters in teaching at Columbia in 1987.

OBAMA''S FAILED JUDGEMENT

%u201DI don%u2019t regret setting bombs,%u201D Bill Ayers said. %u201DI feel we didn%u2019t do enough.%u201D Mr. Ayers, who spent the 1970%u2019s as a fugitive in the Weather Underground, was sitting in the kitchen of his big turn-of-the-19th-century stone house in the Hyde Park district of Chicago. The long curly locks in his Wanted poster are shorn, though he wears earrings. He still has tattooed on his neck the rainbow-and-lightning Weathermen logo that appeared on letters taking responsibility for bombings. And he still has the ebullient, ingratiating manner, the apparently intense interest in other people, that made him a charismatic figure in the radical student movement. Now he has written a book, %u201DFugitive Days%u201D (Beacon Press, September). Mr. Ayers, who is 56, calls it a memoir, somewhat coyly perhaps, since he also says some of it is fiction. He writes that he participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, the Pentagon in 1972. ......"

Fact Check:
Sarah and Todd Palin are proud members of the Alaska Independence Party.

We already know that no matter how many times Palin is corrected on her little "lies" that she will continue to tell them, until she finds out that they don"t "hunt anymore"
The suggestion now would be to start a steady focus on Palin ~ Troopergate, tax returns, uncommonly amount of personal wealth on an average and sometimes below average salary, the Alaska pipeline, the influence of the first dude on Alaskan government, the Palin''s association with the Alaskan Independence Party, her Wasilla pastor''s comments,etc, etc, etc. Golly gee, there are all sorts of things to put her on the defense. She might be able to tap dance all the way back to Alaska and wink the whole way.

PLEASE, PLEASE, can I hear some intelligent talk about exactly HOW these potential leaders expect to lead our country out of this MESS?

I do NOT care if Palin is a "poster" pinup VP candidate for a "one foot on a banana peel" fellow REPUG. They must do more than spread twisted information and sling "mud"......or maybe this is all they have to offer.

If Obama continues to state his plans to bring back some degree of normalcy to our country, and END our involvement in WARS, who knows, American will show they are willing to be RIGHT for a change.

Sarah Palin is the genuine AMERICAN WOMAN. Everyone expected her to be humiliated by JOE BINlaDEN and what we saw was completely different. She looked like a true housewife, first she wiped the floor with JOE BINlaDEN then she put him in the oven and toasted him.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

The true John McCain is now beginning to show, and it''s not a pretty picture. He is getting desperate, and all of the Karl Rove playbook will soon be in action.

The racists and rednecks will feast and delight in the nastiness, but maybe anyone with more than half a brain will see it for what it is.

PALIN WANT TO LINK BARACK TO TERRORIST BUT SHE SHOULD BE VERY CAREFUL. THIS LOOK LIKE THEY ARE GRABBING FOR STRINGS. HE WAS ONLY 8 AT THE TIME AND NEW YORK ALSO REPORT THAT THEY WERE NOT CLOSELY LINK BUT MERELY SAT ON THE A BORE TOGETHER FOR NON PROFIT AND HE WAS INVOLVE IN SOME POLITIC. BUT WHAT SHE IS NOT SAYING IS HE WAS NOT CONVICTED AND IS NOW WELL RESPECTED IN THE ARENA OF EDUCATIONL. JOHN MCCAIN ALSO HAVE TIES TO PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT TERRORISM. CARL LINDNER CEO CHIQUITA BRAND ADDED SUPPORTING TERRORISM AND WAS FINED 25 MILLION HE IS ON OF JOHN MCCAIN BIGGER SUPPORT. A TOP LOBBIST FOR JOHN MCCAIN ALSO LOBBIED FOR SAUDI ARABI AND MADE 5 MILLION.BOTH HAVE BEEN LINKED TO TERRORISM. SO BE CAREFUL JOHN MCCAIN BECAUSE YOU ARE TREADING ON THIN ICE.

HEY FOLKS, Its so easy to make a choice in November and here we are discussing foolish. Which candidate has an American name? which candidate is Christian and which is Muslim? Who is a living American hero and who is an irresponsible who criticizes without presenting solutions for our problems . Just think about it and you"ll have the next President of the United States.
