Gotta love it when the Daley machine is providing character testimonies. End days my friends.

“He’s done a lot of good in this city and nationally,” Mayor Richard M. Daley said in an interview this week, explaining that he has long consulted Mr. Ayers on school issues. Mr. Daley, whose father was Chicago’s mayor during the street violence accompanying the 1968 Democratic National Convention and the so-called Days of Rage the following year, said he saw the bombings of that time in the context of a polarized and turbulent era.

Just because I knew and met Timothy Leary, doesn't mean I am an LSD freak. Just because Barack Obama knew a former radical, and now a college professor, doesn't mean he advocates bombing buildings! This is a total bullshit argument!

Is that all you have, they sat in the same room? Time for a different shtick.


"Kurtz's grand conclusion: Ayers and Obama went to the same meetings! And this brilliant attack by Kurtz: Obama is "comfortable working with people" on the left. Well, that's no surprise, since he's also comfortable working with people on the far right.[/b]

Unlike Limbaugh, I listened to Kurtz on Rosenberg's show. More than half the show was devoted to Kurtz's laughable attacks on Obama (in one case, Kurtz started reading from an innocuous book on global justice that he admitted Obama probably never read, but which he linked to Obama because Obama knows the man who runs the foundation that produced the book)."

1. Obama and Ayers worked together on the Annenberg project attending at least six board meetings together.
2. Obama was quoted in the Chicago Tribune praising Ayers' book.
3. Obama launched his first campaign for elected office from Ayers' home.

This is what is known right now. Is there more?

Now let's switch the names:

1. McCain and Dukes worked together on the Rockefeller Project attending at least six board meetings together.
2. McCain was quoted in the Washington Times praising Duke's book.
3. McCain launched his first campaign for elected office from Dukes's home.

Do think the Obama campaign would have made an issue of the above?

Do you think McCain would have had a chance to get the nomination?

Do you think the mainstream media would have ignored the story until 30 days before the election?

I think the family of Sgt. Brian V. McDonnell would agree with you. He received fatal shrapnel wounds from a Weatherman pipe bomb set off on February 16, 1970.

But support Obama on his judgment... for his wish for change.. for the hope he brings... he's a different kind of politician...

I thought so too until he became just another politician. For me this began when he extracted out of context the "100 year" quote from a McCain speech.

It has continued with his refusal to debate McCain "anywhere, anytime", his flip on Campaign Finance, FISA and preconditions.

That he attended 500 sermons of Rev. Wright but had no clue that Wright had anti-American leanings and that he launched his campaign for his first political office from the home of a domestic terrorist would sink any other politician.

But for whatever reason Obama gets a pass.

The problems is Obama's judgements have been horrible but his speeches have been brilliant.

To me that's a cheap shot. I think Obama has many admirable qualities. I think he can do much good for the country.

But I do think he would head the country further toward socialism and with the recent bailout it's already taken another huge step in that direction.

What if Obama keeps his promise to spend an additional trillion dollars on government programs?

And who really believes that a Liberal Democrat is going to cut taxes?

Part of the problem is that a huge portion of tax filers do not pay any income tax. They have become a huge voting block for the Democrats who keep promising those who pay nothing or pay little, more and more. That is by definition socialism.
