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

Posted by Maria Gavrilovic
(CBS)
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.

(CBS/Maria Gavrilovic)
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 the way, do a search for "U.S. Council for World Freedom," THEN tell me who really has terrorist connections.

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..

"The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government", "and I won''t be buried under their d*a*m*n flag."

"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".

You really think McCain is on YOUR side???

He continues to argue that large tax cuts for the wealthiest households are the most reliable way to stimulate growth. You know what does happen when you cut rich people''s taxes? They get richer.

Last week, John McCain released his economic plan to "help" folks battered by the recession. The plan included a cut in the capital gains tax by half (from an already too low 15% to 7.5%).

Th type of income, such as the profits from selling appreciated assets like stocks, is SO CONCENTRATED among the wealthiest families, that only 0.2 percent, or $4, of the gains from this cut will reach middle-income folks. Yet smack in the middle of the worst financial crisis since the Depression, this is what a presidential candidate comes up with.

And don''t for a second think that any country who wants to "test" America will not see McCain''s advanced age, his perceived recent poor judgement, Palin''s inexperience and lack of knowledge and the fact that she''s mocked worldwide as a reason to do so.

ALL THE OBAMITES are screaming CHANGE-Which will result in another international test on our soil, according to Biden. What will you be screaming then? Not to mention that first time crack cocaine offenders will ride for free with substance abuse aid from your tax payer dollars. Don''t beleive me? READ OBAMAS Don''t be in denial. READ the whole OBAMA plan.

If you can''t talk about substance, if you find yourself on the wrong side of an argument (deregulation = John McCain = economic meltdown), attack someone on their character...even if there''s no truth to support your libelous charges.

Oh, my, fsw3 - please keep talking, dear.

You make a FINE spokesperson for the McCain campaign. All that lovely racism, fear and hate-mongering. You fit right in!

With the country facing an economic meltdown that hasn''t been seen since the Great Depression and being on the brink of a horrible recession - THIS type of thing is exactly what the American people want and need to hear.

McCain himself is a self-admitted close friend of G. Gordon Liddy, convicted Watergate burglar and domestic terrorist, and that close relationship continues today.

He was also a member in the 90''s of the extremist U.S. Council for World Freedom, where he worked alongside Iran-Contra figures, and a eugenics researcher studying "white superiority."

This was a group that was linked to former Nazi collaborators and ultra-right-wing death squads in Central America. This group circumvented law, financed right-wing military institutions, and engaged in sometimes brutal anti-communist tactics. This is called TERRORISM.

Besides these two associations which are MUCH more extreme and horrible than Obama''s volunteering on an EDUCATION-RELATED board with someone who has a violent past (not a convicted Hitler-worshipping criminal, and definitely not a racist worldwide terrorist group).

Let''s also hear about his associations with Parsely, Hagee, Helmsley, Falwell, Keating, Richard Quinn. Not likely, right?

It seems the Republican Party has finally reached into the bottom of their uneducated barrel.

No one involved from the initiation of the banner to its completion, noticed they had misspelled words.

It proves they had the money, but never bothered with learning to spell......... Beautiful!!!!

Some 20 years ago, the president of our local school board was a Baptist Minister; no one ever accused any of the other board members of consorting with Baptists, despite the fact that they worked together to bring positive change in the district (they even attended functions together). Around 10 years ago, one of our school board members was charged with wrongfully double-charging his board member expenses, pocketing the extra; no one ever insisted that the other school board members were thereby palling around with liars and cheats....Should we have taken a page from the RNC''s book & viciously impugned the character of other school board members with inuendo and insinuations, based on what one member did?

We no longer value our elders and the wisdom they bring and that is sad.

But we do value our elders. Thats why we stick''em in Old folks homes for their own protection.
