McCain Camp Finally Plays Ayers Card, Media Quick to Rescue

Posted on October 5, 2008

Obama’s unbreakable friendship with the unrepentant, America hating terrorist William Ayers of the Weather Underground is probably one of the most important things America needs to know about Barack before voting day. The media have done well in pretending this is not an issue, and acting as if this does not bring serious questions about Obama’s judgment. The media want this controversial relationship to be swept under the rug.

Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, finally played the Ayers card. CNN were quick to the defense in what they had the gall to call a “fact check”.

Verdict: False. There is no indication that Ayers and Obama are now “palling around,” or that they have had an ongoing relationship in the past three years. Also, there is nothing to suggest that Ayers is now involved in terrorist activity or that other Obama associates are.

Of course CNN ignores the entire point. Obama had a long history and friendship with Ayers, and still refuses to repudiate this friendship. The point is not whether Ayers is involved in terrorist activity today, but that he remains proud of his past terrorist activities and believes they were not enough. This reflects a character that hates America to its core, and has displayed this hatred on a magazine cover stomping the American flag back in 2001, the same time Obama served on the Woods Fund with him. Obama’s insistence to remain friends with someone of such radical character reflects poorly on Obama’s judgment and his own character. This is the point the media are trying to ignore. Furthermore, there is a long list of radical friends and associates that Obama has and still does keep company with. There is a pattern of repetitive poor judgment that exposes bad character the media want ignored.

Meanwhile, despite Ayers posing for a magazine by stomping on the American flag as recent as 2001, ABC have headlined him as a “former radical”. However, Ayers has never renounced his past actions, and has said he wished he would have done more. There is nothing “former” about his radicalism.

Meanwhile, the AP have pulled the race card out in defense, claiming that Palin’s words carry some kind of racial tinge. The facts are out there, but of course the media can’t be bothered with facts when there is an agenda to follow.

McCain is a saint. He puts country first. It’s all rather well documented in Rolling Stone’s article:http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/make_believe_maverick_the_real_john_mccain

I have posted a link above which leads to the biography of Bill Ayers, in which you can also read his curriculum vitae.

It is a wretched, pathetic campaign to use fear mongering and outright lies to link Barack Obama with terrorist activity. Sarah Palin does NOT “represent the very best America has to offer”. She represents what America should be very ashamed of: trying to irrationally exacerbate our fears to capitalize on them in getting elected.

I will state that the radical activism of the Weathermen was abhorrent, and they went far past the line of acceptability in rightly fighting the Vietnam War. Ayers was not convicted of a single crime connected to terrorist activities. This doesn’t mean he is free from criticism. He did some very dastardly things of which any person should be supremely ashamed of. In all fairness, he might not show enough remorse for these actions. However, these actions have NOTHING to do with Barack Obama, and they happened when Obama was 8 years old.

What Palin fails to tell you is that Ayers, in his adult life since his early transgressions, has built his life around servitude of the public good and in helping to make real educational progress. His resume is long and impressive in the POSITIVE things he has done for his community, state and nation.

I would hope that we are mature enough to realize the measure of a man is the sum of his deeds. For the few truly awful actions this man did in his youth, he has done far more in his maturity to make the world better. The Bible gives us the story of the Prodigal Son. Whether or not Ayers is a prime example, I am not here to argue. However, Palin would have you rush to judge Barack Obama in negative light and fear based on his very brief work with Ayers on an educational reforms committee. This is work for which both men should be applauded, not condemned. It is quite sad that Palin thinks people are stupid enough not to realize the difference. Even more depressing is that she might be right.

I encourage you to visit the site hosting Ayers’ biography and resume. Do not allow yourself to be made fearful by this zealot who wants nothing more than to turn your fears into her own power.
