Comments on: Promising Supporters to Get Tough, McCain “Ensures” He Will Talk About Obama's Associations Tonight

[lisa459]

Oh dear John McCain. Remember when you said you were going to be respectful? What was that, like yesterday? Guess the desperation sets in real quick, huh. Is he really stupid enough to think this won''t backfire? Why does he keep underestimating Obama? It''s costing him the election.

[that-one-2009]

Why wouldn''''t all Americans care about his associations with Ayers. Reading up on Ayers, he was a horrible man and a disgraceful American. I was always told you are only as good as the friend you keep, and Obama''''s associations with Ayers and others is a red flag in my book. I am not sure what to believe because every media outlet is biased, but I would like to hear Obama''''s response to his associations. He always seems to dis-own them when its hurting his campaign. It just seems a bit shady to me. All we want is the truth and then we can decide.

Look, this man''s past has been examined with a microscope for the past 2 years now. I feel like I know more about Obama''s family than I know about my own for christ''s sake. People in this country have real problems and they want real serious resolutions, not distrations. People can''t pay there mortgages TODAY, and McCain and Palin are talking about something that happened 40 years ago when obama was in the 3rd grade. I meet new people everyday. If someone I meet killed someone 20 years ago and I meet them today and we work together for a period of time, does that mean I support murderers?? Of course not! This is rediculous and McCain is just showing desperation here....

ABMan827, the Ayers stuff is nonsense. By the time the 90''s rolled around, which is when Obama served on those boards with him, Ayers had become an established figure in Chicago. Like it or not.

During the 90''s Ayers worked with all kinds of people, including tons of Republicans. One of these Republicans was former Nixon era Ambassador, Walther Annenberg, who was also one of Reagan''s best friends. Annenberg gave Ayers MONEY, for chrissakes.

If Obama is guilty for "associating" with Ayers, then so too are a whole bunch of Reagan Republicans...and I don''t see you whining about them.

[dburfears]

McCain LIES and LIES and LIES about Annenberg "BOARD", OBAMA, and AYERS

McCain''s campaign is LYING about the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), set up by the Annenberg Foundation to reform public schools. Walter Annenberg is a well-known philanthropist and CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN.

%u201CThe idea that the Annenberg Challenge was somehow the extension of the Weather Underground of the 1960%u2019s, that is just one of the most LUNATIC CONTENTIONS I can imagine,%u201D says Mike Flannery, political editor at the CBS Chicago affiliate WBBM who covered Chicago politics for 35 years. "Those of us who have covered politics in Chicago... simply don''t recognize the caricatures and the RIDICULOUS descriptions of this group."

Flannery says the other people on the BOARD of the CAC with Obama and Ayers were "BUSINESS TYPES AND REPUBLCANS."

Obama chaired the board of the CAC but he DID NOT SERVE ON THE BOARD WITH AYERS. Ayers served on a SEPARATE advisory board.

%u201CThis was NOT the Bill Ayers and Barack Obama show,%u201D says Ken Rolling who was the Executive Director of the CAC and ran the organization, %u201CIt was created by a hundred people.%u201D

Rolling says that the CAC funded programs with the following purpose:

teacher training
music education
initiatives to strengthen parental involvement in public schools.
after school programs
improvements for literacy
arts programs
support for new school council candidates
education research

MCCAIN knows he LIES

MCCAIN HAS LOST ALL HONOR

[jclark7613]

He''s falling into Senator Obama trap. Is he so old and confused to see that Obama is not only going to come back at him quick but also hard. Don''t get me wrong i''m glad that McCain is that stupid to fall for it....seeing that he will have to inturn answer questions about Contra.(Something he didn''t separate himself from until 1984 after he became senator)

[lucilioness]

SO McNOBRAIN IS GOING TO ASK OBAMA ABOUT HIS PAST ASSOCIATIONS. BIG EFFING DEAL! HOW COULD HE BE SO NAIVE TO THINK THAT THE PRESIDENT-ELECT HASN''T CRAFTED AN ANSWER THAT WILL PUT THIS BULLS--T TO REST ONCE AND FOR ALL. I USED TO FEEL SORRY FOR McNOBRAIN BECAUSE HE''S BEEN TAKING A MAJOR *** KICKING FROM OBAMA FOR A LONG TIME NOW. BUT, AFTER HE SANCTIONED THE MESSAGE OF HATE AND RACISM TO SATURATE HIS CAMPAIGN, I HAVE NOTHING BUT CONTEMPT FOR HIM AND SARAH FAILING. GO OBAMA/BIDEN!!

[koko98-2009]

Why not bring this up. Nothing else has worked so far.

[memekiller]

When CNN, in all earnestness, asked whether Obama was the anti-Christ, I think it''s fair to say the media, on McCain''s behalf, has gotten about as rough as one possibly can.

Obama isn''t winning because CNN has been unwilling to "go there" for McCain. Obama is winning in spite of mainstream outlets best efforts.

[abman827]

So.....he''''s promising to once again NOT talk about issues and try to distract. Wow, how has that been working for you so far John? When is he going to realize, the william ayers thing only works on the republican base? Would someone tell John, Sarah, and Sean Hannity that NOBODY ELSE CARES.
