Obama’s Friends: So Barack Obama Claims he does not Know Terrorist Bill Ayers … VIDEO would Say Otherwise

 

Obama and Ayers, just two ships that crossed paths …

As Obama, the Left and the MSM want to say that Barack has no connection to  unrepentant, terrorist Bill Ayers and that they just crossed paths … the evidence says otherwise. Crossed paths, it appears to be much more than that. As The Gateway Pundit states, “BILL AYERS GAVE BARACK OBAMA HIS START.” Don’t believe what the MSM says, believe your own eyes and ears.

 
It also appears that Bill Ayers and Barack Obama shared a stage in 1997. Just another example of two ships crossing in the night
Ayers will be joined by Sen. Barack Obama, Senior Lecturer in the Law School, who is working to combat legislation that would put more juvenile offenders into the adult system;…
 
One hundred years later, the system is “overcrowded, under-funded, over-centralized and racist,” Ayers said.
Ace of Spades asks the obvious question, How did Obama’s time on the Annenberg Challenge board go from being a key bullet-point in his resume — by his own accounting — to one the media refuses to even mention?

Little Green Footballs: Ayers Was on Woods Fund Board with Obama When He Stepped on Flag. I guess Barack managed to miss this one as well as the many hate filled church sermons he attended.

Deborah Harrington, president of the Woods Fund, a philanthropic organization in Chicago, said Obama was a director from 1994 through 2001. That overlaps Ayers’ time as a director by three years. It also means Obama served with Ayers for the final months of 2001, after Ayers made his comments to the New York Times.

Stop the ACLU: The media want this controversial relationship to be swept under the rug.

The Relationship Between Barack Obama And Bill Ayers Is Much More Extensive Than Obama’s Campaign Is Willing To Admit

      LIE: “My view is that the community organizer was really a sham event. Bill Ayers was testing him.”(Andy Martin, Hannity’s America, October 5, 2008, “Obama and His Friends: History of Radicalism”)
      TRUTH: Bill Ayers had nothing to do with Obama’s community organizing job. It’s pure lunacy to imagine that Ayers was “testing” Obama.

      LIE: Obama’s “community organizing is a grand scheme perpetuated by none other than William Ayers.”(Sean Hannity, Hannity’s America, October 5, 2008, “Obama and His Friends: History of Radicalism”)
      TRUTH: Obama’s community organizing was not a vast conspiracy for revolution devised by Bill Ayers.

      LIE: “They live half a mile from William Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist” and “Just a half a mile from those homes is Louis Farrakhan.”(Hannity’s America, October 5, 2008, “Obama and His Friends: History of Radicalism”)
      TRUTH: It’s true, of course, that Obama lives in this same neighborhood, as do tens of thousands of other people who presumably are also guilty by geographical association. The logic of this argument would be, if you live half a mile from a sex offender, then you agree with child molesters.

      LIE: Obama and Ayers “appeared together at various public engagements…it would seem that they are more than just a little bit friendly.”(Sean Hannity, Hannity’s America, October 5, 2008, “Obama and His Friends: History of Radicalism”)
      TRUTH: Appearing on a speaking panel is not a sign of friendship. There is no evidence that Obama had any role in ever inviting Ayers to speak.

      LIE: In 1995, Ayers and Dohrn “hosted a political coming out party for a young Barack Obama.”(Sean Hannity, Hannity’s America, October 5, 2008, “Obama and His Friends: History of Radicalism”)
      TRUTH: This was an event for Alice Palmer, not a “coming-out party” for Obama. Obama was invited by Palmer to the event.

      But long before tonight’s Hannity, the right-wing has been spreading a series of lies about Obama and Ayers.

      LIE: “Bill Ayers is an unrepentant terrorist.”
      TRUTH: Bill Ayers is not, and apparently never was, a terrorist. The conventional definition of a terrorist is someone who tries to kill innocent people for political purposes. As Factcheck.org noted, In fact, nobody died as a result of bombings in which Ayers said he participated as part of the Weather Underground. (Factcheck.org)

      LIE: “I’m sure he’s very patriotic, but his relationship with Mr. Ayers is open to question….Because, if you’re going to associate and have as a friend and serve on a board and have a guy kick off your campaign that says he’s unrepentant, that he wished he’d bombed more. And then, the worst thing of all, that I think really indicates Senator Obama’s attitude, is he had the incredible statement that he compared Mr. Ayers, an unrepentant terrorist — an unrepentant terrorist, with Senator Tom Coburn. Senator Coburn, a physician who goes to Oklahoma on the weekends and brings babies into life.’ (John McCain, April 20, 2008, ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos)
      TRUTH: Obama was not friends with Ayers. Ayers did not kick off Obama’s campaign. And Obama was not comparing Ayers’ actions with Coburn. Obama was pointing out that he works with people even when he disagrees with them.

      LIE: “Obama’s oldest friend in politics is a murderer and unrepentant terrorist. Why are they friends?”(ExposeObama.com email, Sept. 7, 2008)
      TRUTH: Ayers isn’t Obama’s oldest friend in politics.

      LIE: Ayers was “Obama’s boss.”(Jerome Corsi, p. 147)
      TRUTH: The chair of a foundation board is not the boss of the members.

      LIE: Jerome Corsi claimed Alice “Palmer would never have introduced Obama to the Hyde Park political community at the Ayres-Dohrn home unless she saw an affinity between Ayers and Dohrn’s radical leftist history, her own history of far-leftist politics, and the politics of Barack Obama.”(p. 137)
      TRUTH: The event wasn’t held primarily for Obama. It was Palmer’s own announcement that she would run for Congress. Obama was there as Palmer’s endorsed successor for her Senate seat, but there’s no evidence that he had any role in deciding to hold it at Ayers’ home.

      LIE: Jerome Corsi claims about Obama: “either he did not know Ayers and Dohrn are still radical leftists–in which case he is implausibly naive–or Obama did know, which would confirm he joined with Ayers and Dohrn because Obama too continues to believe, albeit silently and secretly, in the Far Left’s radical agenda.”(p. 140)
      TRUTH: Obama probably knew Ayers was a leftist, but he didn’t care. Obama believes in the notion of a free society, where you work with people you disagree with.

      LIE: “Even today, Ayers appears to hold the same radical political beliefs he did in the Weather Underground, and Obama had to know that was also the case when he first met Ayers in 1995.”(Jerome Corsi, p. 147)
      TRUTH: Corsi doesn’t explain how Obama “had to know” Ayers’ views on politics when he first met him. Telepathy? Mind-reading?

      LIE: David Freddoso calls Obama’s distant connection with Bill Ayers “a remarkable relationship for a presidential nominee to have.”(p. 122)
      TRUTH: It reality, it’s not remarkable at all. The notion that people should resign from foundations and refuse to speak in public in order to avoid any connection to a former radical never convicted of a crime is absurd.

      LIE: “The major media simply have not reported on Obama’s two years at New York’s Columbia University, where, among other things, he lived a mere quarter-mile from former terrorist Bill Ayers.”(Tony Blankley, September 24, 2008)
      TRUTH: Thousands upon thousands of people lived near Bill Ayers in Manhattan. Obama didn’t know Ayers.

      LIE: Mr. Ayers founded CAC and was its guiding spirit. No one would have been appointed the CAC chairman without his approval. (Stanley Kurtz, Wall Street Journal)
      TRUTH: Kurtz has no evidence to support his claim. Ayers was one of several people involved in starting the group, and was not its guiding spirit. According to the New York Times reporting, Obama was recruited by other CAC leaders who knew him through the Joyce Foundation.

      LIE: Mr. Obama and Mr. Ayers worked as a team to advance the CAC agenda. (Stanley Kurtz, Wall Street Journal)
      TRUTH: Kurtz has no evidence that Obama and Ayers worked as a team. Ayers attended six meetings of the group along with Obama.

      LIE: “Obama is hanging around with Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright. By the way, Bill Ayers advertised himself as being a communist with a small c just when he was beginning to
      partner with Obama on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. (Stanley Kurtz, Hudson Institute, Washington DC, October 1, 2008)
      TRUTH: Contrary to this McCarthyist attack, there’s no evidence that Obama ever knew that Ayers supposedly called himself a communist, nor is that a good reason for Obama to end his work on school reform and charitable activities.

      LIE: “who provided Obama with the only executive experience he has ever had in his young life? Bill Ayers, unrepentant domestic terrorist, communist revolutionary… (Joseph Farah, World Net Daily, October 2, 2008)
      TRUTH: Ayers did not provide Obama with the Chicago Annenberg Challenge job. And Obama has also had executive experience in community organizing, running a voter registration drive, as well as running his campaigns. The New York Times reported, “In fact, according to several people involved, Mr. Ayers played no role in Mr. Obama’s appointment. Instead, it was suggested by Deborah Leff, then president of the Joyce Foundation, a Chicago-based group whose board Mr. Obama, a young lawyer, had joined the previous year.”(Scott Shane, New York Times, October 4, 2008)

      LIE: “Barack Obama is friends with Ayers, defending him as quote ‘respectable and mainstream.’”(American Issues Project ad, August 2008)
      TRUTH: David Axelrod described them as “friendly,” not friends. Obama didn’t call Ayers respectable and mainstream (although Ayers now is); Obama’s campaign on his website posted an op-ed in the press that described Ayers that way.

      LIE: “I can’t understand why somebody who wants to be president of the United States, I’ll be perfectly honest with you, would want to associate or not condemn the actions of people in the past.”(Paul Ragonese, April 27, 2008, Fox News’ Hannity’s America)
      TRUTH: Obama has condemned the past actions of Bill Ayers and called him somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago. (April 16, 2008 debate)

      LIE: “Mr. Ayers founded CAC and was its guiding spirit. No one would have been appointed the CAC chairman without his approval.”(Stanley Kurtz, Wall Street Journal)
      TRUTH: Kurtz has no evidence to support his claim. Ayers was one of several people involved in starting the group, and was not its guiding spirit.

      LIE: “Mr. Obama and Mr. Ayers worked as a team to advance the CAC agenda.”(Stanley Kurtz, Wall Street Journal)
      TRUTH: Kurtz has no evidence that Obama and Ayers worked as a team. Ayers attended six meetings of the group along with Obama.

      LIE: About Bill Ayers, “Barack Obama really couldn’t bring himself to say ‘you know, I really don’t like that guy.’ That was too much for him to say. He had to talk about what a decent guy he is and what a good professor.”(Jim Geraghty, “Hype: The Obama Effect”)
      TRUTH: There is no record of Obama during the campaign calling Ayers “decent” and “a good professor.” In fact, Obama really did bring himself to criticize Ayers, denouncing him during a Democratic debate as “somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago.”

      LIE: “Obama was feted at a fundraising event” at Ayers’ home.(“Hype: The Obama Effect”)
      TRUTH: Obama never had a fundraising event at Ayers’ home.

      LIE: Barack Obama and Bill Ayers had a close working relationship…the two of them were running the foundation together. (Stanley Kurtz, Fox News Channel’s Fox and Friends, September 29, 2008)
      TRUTH: Kurtz has no evidence of a “close working relationship” beyond attending a few meetings together. The notion that Obama and Ayers were the only ones running the Chicago Annenberg Challenge is absolutely false.

      LIE: “The most important smoking gun is that Barack Obama was funding Bill Ayers’ radical educational projects.”(Stanley Kurtz, Fox News Channel’s Fox and Friends, September 29, 2008)
      TRUTH: This is false. Obama was the president of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, not its dictator. There’s no evidence that Obama made any funding decisions. Moreover, it would have been completely unprofessional for anyone, including Obama, to ban Bill Ayers from receiving funding for educational projects because of alleged radical activities decades earlier which Ayers was never convicted of. Kurtz has no evidence that projects were judged based on anything other than their merits. This is a pure smear by association.

      LIE: Emails “give us strong evidence that there may have been a cover-up in Bill Ayers’ role choosing Barack Obama.”(Stanley Kurtz, Fox News Channel’s Fox and Friends, September 29, 2008)
      TRUTH: This is a fabrication. The email Kurtz is referring to shows absolutely no kind of cover up. In fact, it shows exactly the opposite. In his blog, Kurtz quotes the entire email Ken Rolling wrote to CAC founders Warren Chapman and Anne Hallett and notes that Sam Dillon, Education Reporter for the New York Times, was working on an article. Rolling wrote about Dillon, He is trying to understand how Barack got ‘picked’ for the CAC board, by whom, why, etc. – I have avoided that question head-on though I believe Barack was Debbie Leff’s/Joyce nomination.” This email reveals no kind of cover-up, and the New York Times article found several sources that said Obama was not picked by Ayers.

      LIE: “There is a secret group in the Obama-Biden campaign tasked with shutting off any leaks from the record that links Barack Obama to his longtime adviser and mentor Bill Ayers, professor of education at the University of Illinois and unrepentant Weatherman terrorist and fugitive from the 1970s….There is a substantial independent report from a major Democratic source that confirms Diamond’s suspicions. The source confirms the unit is led by Bill Ayers himself and likely includes Tom Hayden and other members of ‘Progressives for Obama.’ Most critically, the Democratic source says this unit has direct access to media adviser David Axelrod of the Obama-Biden campaign.”(John Batchelor, Human Events, September 12, 2008)
      TRUTH: There is no “secret group.” Hayden reports, “I am not part of any effort, personal or organized, trying to protect Obama against any leaks.” The notion that Ayers is leading the “unit” is laughable. According to the University of Illinois library, “all papers have been available since August 26″ about the school reform group that Ayers and Obama worked on. Diamond, the source cited for the existence of the “unit,” declares, “I have no evidence of such a unit.” Diamond added, “I told Batchelor that I would not speak to Human Events yet he made up a quote from me and placed it in his article.”

      People need to wake up if they are even thinking on voting for O’Bama and his wifes comment about not being proud of America until now, since her husband is running for President says a lot.

      IN SENATOR HILARY CLINTON’S OWN WORDS

      BARACK OBAMA/BILL ARYES ASSOCIATION

      April 16, 2008
      The Pennsylvania Democratic Debate

      MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: … I want to give Senator Clinton a chance to respond, but first a follow-up on this issue, the general theme of patriotism in your relationships. A gentleman named William Ayers, he was part of the Weather Underground in the 1970s. They bombed the Pentagon, the Capitol and other buildings. He’s never apologized for that. And in fact, on 9/11 he was quoted in The New York Times saying, “I don’t regret setting bombs; I feel we didn’t do enough.”

      An early organizing meeting for your state senate campaign was held at his house, and your campaign has said you are friendly. Can you explain that relationship for the voters, and explain to Democrats why it won’t be a problem?

      SEN. OBAMA: … This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who’s a professor of English in Chicago, who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He’s not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.

      SEN. CLINTON: Well, I think that is a fair general statement, but I also believe that Senator Obama served on a board with Mr. Ayers for a period of time, the Woods Foundation, which was a paid directorship position.

      And if I’m not mistaken, that relationship with Mr. Ayers on this board continued after 9/11 and after his reported comments, which were deeply hurtful to people in New York, and I would hope to every American, because they were published on 9/11 and he said that he was just sorry they hadn’t done more. And what they did was set bombs and in some instances people died.

      Sarah Palin..

      Sarah Palin isn’t backing down on questioning Barack Obama’s relationships — telling voters in Florida Monday that she is curious how the Democratic presidential candidate couldn’t know that William Ayers was a co-founder of the Weather Underground terrorist group.

      Embodying her role as the Republican campaign’s pit bull with lipstick, the vice presidential contender said one of her favorite newspapers — The New York Times — reported that Ayers was part of a group that launched a bombing campaign against the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol.

      “And then there’s even more to the story,” Palin told voters in Clearwater, Fla. “Barack Obama says that Ayers was just someone in the neighborhood, but that’s less than truthful. His own advisers said they were quote certainly friendly. In fact Obama held one of his first meetings of his political career in Bill Ayers’ living room and they worked together on various projects in Chicago.”

      Palin did not say the claim that Obama “pals around” with a terrorist, but did repeat a line she used over the weekend that Obama “sees America as imperfect enough to work with a domestic terrorist who had targeted his own country.”

      Ayers and Obama live in the same Chicago neighborhood and served on a charity board together. Ayers hosted a fundraiser for Obama when he first ran for state office in the mid-1990s.

      As Palin continues to attend rallies and fund-raise in Florida, the McCain campaign is not relenting on its argument that Obama’s ties to certain individuals raise legitimate questions about his capacity to lead..

      Obama’s leadership teamObama Workers Sporting Che Guevara Images
      Thursday, February 14, 2008 8:35 AM
      By: Humberto Fontova

      During recent interviews of Obama campaign workers on Houston’s Fox TV station, the offices of two Texas Obama campaign volunteers (including a precinct captain and head of the “Houston Obama Leadership Team”) were found prominently decorated with Che Guevara images, against the backdrop of Cuban flags.

      Two days after the Fox TV airing the Obama campaign finally went on record and in a terse statement described the Houston office posters as “inappropriate.”

      “The U.S. is the great enemy of mankind!” raved Ernesto “Che” Guevara in 1961. “Against those hyenas there is no option but extermination. We will bring the war to the imperialist enemies’ very home, to his places of work and recreation. The imperialist enemy must feel like a hunted animal wherever he moves. Thus we’ll destroy him! We must keep our hatred against them [the U.S.] alive and fan it to paroxysms!”

      DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS OF AMERICA (DSA) – CHICAGO BRANCH

      Thursday, February 14, 2008
      Change Obama can believe in: Socialism?
      By Cliff Kincaid

      Campaign workers for Senator and presidential candidate Barack Obama are under fire for displaying a flag featuring communist hero Che Guevara.

      But Obama has his own controversial connections. He is, in fact, an associate of a Chicago-based socialist group with ties to the Socialist International, access to millions of labor union dollars and connections to expert political consultants, including a convicted swindler.

      Obama’s socialist backing goes back at least to 1996, when he received the endorsement of the Chicago branch of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) for an Illinois state senate seat. Later, the Chicago DSA newsletter reported that Obama, as a state senator, showed up to eulogize Saul Mendelson, one of the “champions” of “Chicago’s democratic left” and a long-time socialist activist. Obama’s stint as a “community organizer” in Chicago has gotten some attention, but his relationship with the DSA socialists, who groomed and backed him, has been generally ignored.

      it doesn’t say that it is ok to set of bombs.

      but apparently it is McCain who thinks that.
      he voted twice to protect terrorists who participated in bombings and arsons of abortion clinics.

      Why is Obama Hiding the Truth About William Ayers? Follow the Money
      April 26, 2008 at 6:33 PM

      In 1995, the Chicago Annenberg Challenge was created to raise funds to help reform the Chicago public schools. One of the architects of the Challenge was none other than Professor Bill Ayers. Ayers co-wrote the initial grant proposal and proudly lists himself on his own website as the co-founder of the Challenge.

      Barack Obama was the first Chairman of the Board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. This appointment came at a crucial time in Barack’s life. He was on the verge of challenging longtime state Senator Alice Palmer for her job. When Barack decided to run, it is no surprise that he turned to William Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn for help in organizing the campaign and in hosting his first fundraiser in the district.

      Obama served on the board for eight years until the Challenge ended in 2003. Bill Ayers was intimately involved in the Challenge over this same time period.

      A MARIST DISGUISED AS A DEMOCRAT?

      Republicans prepare to take aim at Obama
      Wednesday, January 9, 2008

      But for former Republican House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who was known as “the Hammer” on Capitol Hill, said Republicans need to start deconstructing Mr. Obama now.

      “Somebody from our side needs to start talking about Obama today. He’s a Marxist but a very smart one — he doesn’t let anyone know it,” said Mr. DeLay.

      sarah palin’s husband belonged to an Alaskan separatist group that wanted to succeed from the US.
      She slept with her husband. And addressed the group while she was Governor.
      When Mr. Ayers was a suppose terrorist, Obama was 6 years old.

      Sarah Palin’s church has some very interesting and hateful things to say about the rest of us.

      William Ayers appears to have gone mainstream but as of 9/11 he still embraced his anti-American ideology of the 60′s.

      I have videos of eight sermons of Jeremiah Wright … Barack Obama’s pastor for twenty years. Talk of hate!!

      An Obama/Ayers or an Obama/Wright ticket would reveal to the American voter the Marist ideology that Obama embraces and … therefore McCain would win by a landslide.

      The only reason that the race to the White House is so close is … many of Obama supports are oblivious to the fact that a Marist is running as a Democrat.

      caesu … thank you for your response.

      I have submitted this article to the McCain Campaign and … requested an explanation in regards to McCain’s 1993 and 1994 vote against this legislation. In fact … I have requested that the campaign office provide me with the “exact” wording of the legislation.

      I will give McCain the benefit of the doubt right now that parts of this legislation would have been a restriction on some “basic” freedoms.

      caesu … in Canada many of our “basic” rights and freedoms are being eroded through legislation that appears forthright in part but in actuality other parts imply an underlying agenda.

      For example: The right to PEACEFULLY assemble and PEACEFULLY protest must be protected … it must not be forfeited under the guise of preventing “domestic terrorism”.

      I am waiting on a response from the McCain Campaign. Out of ten queries so far in this race … I have received a response to seven and … those responses were received within a couple of days.

      Obama supports Obama, what change does he have in mind? A change for the worse. The stock market is falling because the NYT says Obama has a lead over McCain. Obama will destroy this country, it is what he wants. He does not like the USA and why will ne not tell us where his money comes from? uh uh uh Iran. And why did he pick Frank Raines to be his advisor on the economy, the same Frank Raines who cooked the books at Fannie Mae and took over a hundred million dollars in bonuses. Guess Obama had to pick up Frank, since Frank gave him money when Frank was running Fannie Mae aground. Could someone come forth and tell us what Obama has done for this country? well can ya.

    29. Tamikosmom on October 6th, 2008 5:45 pm

      caesu … regarding legislation.

      Did Obama not claim that he voted against the legislation to ban late term abortions because it was not inclusive enough.

      No matter what his reasoning was … Obama voted against the legislation that would ban late term abortions.

      In other words … I have learned that a vote against a certain piece of legislation is not always obvious. A explanation to constituents is often required.

      I can’t believe how dangerous this Obama really is. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

      I truly believe that if he becomes president of America (the land the terrorist in Israel hate, said Obama would bring change THEY WOULD LIKE)he would appoint islam believers to key spots in our government too take over from within and would not respond to attacks in our heart land. Too take our troops out of the middle east and have them help put Obama law in affect. The islam law for all of us.

      America will chance alright (rev. Wright)(islam America)(no rights for women)(tax people into the ground so much you can’t own a house.

      I have no prove, just indirect. Hear a little their a little and it gives you a picture of the man. If a man lies, you call him a lier. Do you think when he talks, he is telling you the truth? He is deceiving you, he is covering up what is behind the suit.

      Many supporters just want change from the Bush policies but … they do not have a clue what Obama’s definition of change is. However … if they would just do a little research into Obama’s past extreme left wing associations … they would come to the realization that maybe the “same” would be better than the “change” Obama offers … the change that strips away the the freedoms which are the foundation of one of the greatest democracies on the face of the earth.

      You know Obama will win. He is the only one who talks about the issues. McCain listens too much too his staff. Talk about food on the table, a roof over the American’s head, a job to go to, all the things that Middle-class America needs.

      I doubt that enough give a rat’s a$$ about ayers rev Wright or the man in the moon if there is nothing for those that worked their life for, worse to see their children with even less than they have.

      Make no mistake about it, they love their country but they also know that THEY ARE THEIR COUNTRY, and they have the power to kick out that which they felt(rightly or wrongly) usurped the greatness of this country for their own greedy ends, and McCain too many of them see, is the loyal toadie, NOT a maverick. Because of the windfall profit tax she imposed on the oil companies, that title rightfully belongs to Gov Palin, not Sen McCain. No windfall there unless you count the tax break he wants to hand them.

      Mr. Holloway:

      My comment that posted after yours (above) wasn’t in response to your comment. But I’ll address your point because it’s a good one.

      Yes, the devil does make things look exciting and fun and some of those things can turn to sin. But the devil has alot more fun seeing bloodshed like that in war… men penned up against one another in the name of nationalism… and the human suffering that follows. Why? Because as the human condition becomes more and more desperate, their reliance on God diminishes. Even the Bible says that, because of the suffering brought on by wickedness, people will curse their own God.

      I searched for truth for over two years and I found it. I have asked that the sea spit up its’ bones in hope of finding your Natalee, and they did. I have prayed for a hero and my prayer was answered. I believe in my God and no matter how bad the conditions around me, I will be in peace because of the tent of safety that he spreads out before me. I am no saint. I am only human; but I am a human with hope and faith… not in this wicked, violent world, but in the promises that come from knowing that Jehovah is the most powerful God in the universe and He loves to make himself known, that we might live. He is a God of wisdom and justice, but most of all a God of love. He warns us of the devil who he describes as a lion, a bird catcher and a dragon. If he could, he would devour us all; and laugh in the face of God. Why? Because WE are what God cares about and he begs us to throw our burdens upon Him and I do. He hasn’t failed me yet.

      Thank you for all you do. If not for you and your loving family, there’s no telling how many girls and boys might suffer. But that battle is not over. The ones that prey upon our children are still out there. The trafficking of human beings, snatched from the safety of their homes is a huge problem in this world. But, thanks to you and Natalee and her family, we have come to be aware of those dangers.

      .

      God be with you…

      Before #2 and #22 gets away with his claims that McCain voted “To Protect Domestic Terrorists Who Carry Out Violence At Abortion Clinics” that’s simply NOT true if you follow the links to the real legislation instead of just taking a bunch of “in the tank for Obama idiots”.
      Here’s the legislation The description of the bill is:A bill to amend the Public Health Service Act to permit individuals to have freedom of access to certain medical clinics and facilities, and for other purposes.

      Now the question is just how is the bill worded and does it stifle freedom of speech while assuring this access? Note there isn’t a word in there about allowing people to bomb these clinics. Rather, I strongly suspect it tried to prevent protesting outside abortion clinics – based on the Aye votes from Democrats and the nay votes from Republicans.

      People, the relationship of Obama with William Ayers, Rev. Wright, Tony Resko and Rev. Pflegar are not made up, twisted or phony such as #2′s phony claims. They are Real! We can prove them.

    46. yoyo muffintop on October 6th, 2008 10:06 pm

      Comical indeed!

      While McCain is talking about stuff everyone sees right thru as dirty politics, Obama is building a narrative about the number one issue on voters’ minds. The Economy.
      Keating Five will be framed correctly and will be devastating to McCain. How many of the 20,000 people will come forward in the next week or so to tell their story of how they lost their life savings?

      McCain and the Republicans are in a complete tailspin.

      caesu – you twit. McCain was EXONERATED with his dealings in the so-called Keating Five. McCain also took all questions and was very TRANSPARENT in his dealings; Obama is NOT…

      Be careful what you wish for…..

      You are so dumb that you do not even know the ELITIST Democrats who are in power hate the YOUR way of life and hate how YOU live your life, so much, that they want to have more control of your life in every aspect that they can; what you watch, what you listen to, what doctors you can see and the list goes on and on.

      Are you that much of a moron to think that Obama can actually give tax breaks to the 95% of the American people when it IS a FACT that he plans to increase spending by over A billion dollars. Where is he going to get those funds? 5% of the American people CAN NOT pay for an increase of over a billion dollars in government spending. It’s going to come out of YOUR pocket, but to you left wing nuts jobs, it’s “PATRIOTIC” to pay higher taxes…LOL!

      It’s funny that these liberals use the “excitment” mantra about Obama’s campaign. Well, anybody can tell you what you want to hear and in Obama’s case, he NEVER backs up what he says, including when running in Chicago he “promised” to cut taxes, but instead when elected he raised them. Wake up morons! Obama’s economic plan is filled with lies and misconceptions to deceive the American people. I’m sure you nut jobs believe Obama can part the Atlantic too….

      I really can’t wait until after he’s elected to see:

      1. How long before he’s shot. It’s a real possibility.
      2. The liberal MSM trying to wipe the egg off their face when Obama drives the economy into further dispair and makes our national security vulernable to terrorist attacks. The MSM wanted him, but they will turn their back on him and try to blame it on the American people..the media’s days are numbered.

      The fact is, he’s lied about Ayers. You are a blind fool to think that he has not hung out with this guy in some capacity. Everything is right there for investigation but the liberal MSM and their Manchurian Candidate won’t let it happen.

      He sat in sermons listening to a guy who trashed America on a regular and ugly basis.

      He was the lawyer for ACORN and participated in the bullying tactics that created the SUBPRIME MORTGAGE crisis in America.

      Obama Vows to Disarm America
      May 30, 2008

      RUSH: Found another Barack Obama YouTube video, ladies and gentlemen. This is back in 2007. This is a video that Obama made for a far left-wing organization in 2007 …

      This is Obama taping this message for the Caucus for Priorities, which is “a campaign that set out to recruit 10,000 Iowa caucus attendees to pledge support for the presidential candidate who is strongest in their commitment to significantly shift Pentagon funds to unmet social needs,” and this is a video that Obama made for that group to convince them he was their guy to disarm the United States of America. The name of the group is the Caucus for Priorities, and here’s what he said to them:

      OBAMA: As president, I will end misguided defense policies and stand with Caucus for Priorities in fighting special interests in Washington. First, I’ll stop spending $9 billion a month in Iraq. I’m the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning — and as president, I will end it. Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending. I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems. I will not weaponize space. I will slow our development of future combat systems, and I will institute an independent defense priorities board to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending. Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material, and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals. You know where I stand.

      Lawmaker Accused of Fannie Mae Conflict of Interest Friday , October 03,
      2008

      By Bill Sammon

      ADVERTISEMENT
      WASHINGTON –

      Unqualified home buyers were not the only ones who benefitted from Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank’s efforts to deregulate Fannie Mae throughout the 1990s.

      So did Frank’s partner, a Fannie Mae executive at the forefront of the agency’s push to relax lending restrictions.

      Now that Fannie Mae is at the epicenter of a financial meltdown that threatens the U.S. economy, some are raising new questions about Frank’s relationship with Herb Moses, who was Fannie’s assistant director for product initiatives. Moses worked at the government-sponsored enterprise from 1991 to 1998, while Frank was on the House Banking Committee, which had jurisdiction over Fannie.

      Both Frank and Moses assured the Wall Street Journal in 1992 that they took pains to avoid any conflicts of interest. Critics, however, remain skeptical.

      “It’s absolutely a conflict,” said Dan Gainor, vice president of the Business & Media Institute. “He was voting on Fannie Mae at a time when he was involved with a Fannie Mae executive. How is that not germane?

      “If this had been his ex-wife and he was Republican, I would bet every penny I have – or at least what’s not in the stock market – that this would be considered germane,” added Gainor, a T. Boone Pickens Fellow.
      “But everybody wants to avoid it because he’s gay. It’s the quintessential double standard.”

      A top GOP House aide agreed.

      “C’mon, he writes housing and banking laws and his boyfriend is a top exec at a firm that stands to gain from those laws?” the aide told FOX News. “No media ever takes note? Imagine what would happen if Frank’s political affiliation was R instead of D? Imagine what the media would say if [GOP former] Chairman [Mike] Oxley’s wife or [GOP presidential nominee John] McCain’s wife was a top exec at Fannie for a decade while they wrote the nation’s housing and banking laws.”

      Frank’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

      Frank met Moses in 1987, the same year he became the first openly gay member of Congress.

      “I am the only member of the congressional gay spouse caucus,” Moses wrote in the Washington Post in 1991. “On Capitol Hill, Barney always introduces me as his lover.”

      The two lived together in a Washington home until they broke up in 1998, a few months after Moses ended his seven-year tenure at Fannie Mae, where he was the assistant director of product initiatives. According to National Mortgage News, Moses “helped develop many of Fannie Mae’s affordable housing and home improvement lending programs.”

      Critics say such programs led to the mortgage meltdown that prompted last month’s government takeover of Fannie Mae and its financial cousin, Freddie Mac. The giant firms are blamed for spreading bad mortgages throughout the private financial sector.

      Although Frank now blames Republicans for the failure of Fannie and Freddie, he spent years blocking GOP lawmakers from imposing tougher regulations on the mortgage giants. In 1991, the year Moses was hired by Fannie, the Boston Globe reported that Frank pushed the agency to loosen regulations on mortgages for two- and three-family homes, even though they were defaulting at twice and five times the rate of single homes, respectively.

      Three years later, President Clinton’s Department of Housing and Urban Development tried to impose a new regulation on Fannie, but was thwarted by Frank. Clinton now blames such Democrats for planting the seeds of today’s economic crisis.

      “I think the responsibility that the Democrats have may rest more in resisting any efforts by Republicans in the Congress or by me when I was president, to put some standards and tighten up a little on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac,” Clinton said recently.

      During recent interviews of Obama campaign workers on Houston’s Fox TV station, the offices of two Texas Obama campaign volunteers (including a precinct captain and head of the “Houston Obama Leadership Team”) were found prominently decorated with Che Guevara images, against the backdrop of Cuban flags.

      The MSM kept mum, but the conservative blogoshere spread the story. Intrepid blogger Henry Gomez (Babalu Blog), uncovered 15 different pages of Che Guevara well-wishers on the official Obama campaign site.

      Two days after the Fox TV airing the Obama campaign finally went on record and in a terse statement described the Houston office posters as “inappropriate.”

      “The U.S. is the great enemy of mankind!” raved Ernesto “Che” Guevara in 1961. “Against those hyenas there is no option but extermination. We will bring the war to the imperialist enemies’ very home, to his places of work and recreation. The imperialist enemy must feel like a hunted animal wherever he moves. Thus we’ll destroy him! We must keep our hatred against them [the U.S.] alive and fan it to paroxysms!”

      Compared to Che Guevara, Ahmadinejad sounds like the Dalai Lama.

      Although Frank now blames Republicans for the failure of Fannie and Freddie, he spent years blocking GOP lawmakers from imposing tougher regulations on the mortgage giants. In 1991, the year Moses was hired by Fannie, the Boston Globe reported that Frank pushed the agency to loosen regulations on mortgages for two- and three-family homes, even though they were defaulting at twice and five times the rate of single homes, respectively.

      Three years later, President Clinton’s Department of Housing and Urban Development tried to impose a new regulation on Fannie, but was thwarted by Frank. Clinton now blames such Democrats for planting the seeds of today’s economic crisis.

      … if you follow the links to the real legislation instead of just taking a bunch of “in the tank for Obama idiots”.

      Here’s the legislation The description of the bill is:A bill to amend the Public Health Service Act to permit individuals to have freedom of access to certain medical clinics and facilities, and for other purposes.

      Now the question is just how is the bill worded and does it stifle freedom of speech while assuring this access? Note there isn’t a word in there about allowing people to bomb these clinics. Rather, I strongly suspect it tried to prevent protesting outside abortion clinics – based on the Aye votes from Democrats and the nay votes from Republicans.

      John McCain voted against this Act (twice):

      Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act of 1994 – Amends the Federal criminal code to prohibit: (1) intentionally injuring, intimidating, or interfering with, or attempting to injure, intimidate, or interfere, any person by force, threat of force, or physical obstruction because that person is or has been, or in order to intimidate such person or any other person or any class of persons from, obtaining or providing reproductive health services; (2) intentionally injuring, intimidating, or interfering with, or attempting to injure, intimidate, or interfere, any person by force, threat of force, or physical obstruction exercising or seeking to exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship; or (3) intentionally damaging or destroying the property of a facility, or attempting to do so, because such facility provides reproductive health services, or intentionally damaging or destroying the property of a place of religious worship.

      Sets maximum dollar amounts of fines (including for exclusively nonviolent physical obstruction) and maximum imprisonment terms. Includes in the available civil remedies injunctive relief, compensatory and punitive damages, and costs.

      Authorizes civil actions by aggrieved persons, the Attorney General, and State attorneys general for violations.

      Specifies that nothing in this Act shall be construed to: (1) prohibit any expressive conduct (including peaceful picketing or other peaceful demonstration) protected from legal prohibition by the First Amendment to the Constitution; (2) create new remedies for interference with activities protected by free speech or free exercise clauses of the First Amendment to the Constitution, occurring outside a facility, regardless of the point of view expressed, or to limit any existing legal remedies for such interference; (3) provide exclusive criminal penalties or civil remedies with respect to conduct prohibited by this Act, or to preempt State or local laws that may provide such penalties or remedies; or (4) interfere with the enforcement of State or local laws regulating the performance of abortions or other reproductive health services.

      #53 – Did you notice the year of the Bill? 1994. Think that might be the reason Obama didn’t vote on it? Lol.

      No need to actually read the bill, right katablog?
      But, hey, looks like Janet has earned a bumper sticker from McCain with her tokens.
      Keep posting Janet – you might get that “Maverick” toaster.
      And if you are lucky and McCain gets elected you will get your ultimate wish I suspect:

      This is also the same group that pressured banks into giving mortgages to low class people, which in turn is a big stone in the economic crisis!

      ACORN raided in Vegas.

      LAS VEGAS — Nevada state authorities are raiding the Las Vegas headquarters of an organization that works to get low-income people to vote.

      A Nevada secretary of state’s office spokesman said Tuesday that investigators are looking for evidence of voter fraud at the office of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, also called ACORN.

      No one was at the ACORN office when state agents arrived with a search warrant and began carting records and documents away.

      Secretary of State spokesman Bob Walsh says ACORN is accused of submitting multiple voter registrations with false and duplicate names.

      The raid comes two months after state and federal authorities formed a task force to pursue election-fraud allegations in Nevada.

      SOMEBODY DO THEIR RESEARCH ON ACORN!

      Ahmadinejad Calls U.S. ‘Satanic,’ Israel ‘About to Die’
      Monday, June 02, 2008

      Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad predicted that Muslims would uproot “satanic powers” and reaffirmed his prediction that the Jewish state will soon be wiped off the map, the Agence France-Presse news agency reported Monday.

      “I must announce that the Zionist regime (Israel), with a 60-year record of genocide, plunder, invasion and betrayal is about to die and will soon be erased from the geographical scene,” Ahmadinejad said.

      “Today, the time for the fall of the satanic power of the United States has come and the countdown to the annihilation of the emperor of power and wealth has started,” the hard-line president said.

      Just released News:
      Nevada state authorities seized records and computers Tuesday from the Las Vegas office of an organization that tries to get low-income people registered to vote, after fielding complaints of voter fraud.

      Bob Walsh, spokesman for the Nevada secretary of state’s office, told FOXNews.com the raid was prompted by ongoing complaints about “erroneous” registration information being submitted by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, also called ACORN.

      The group was submitting the information through a voter sign-up drive known as Project Vote.

      “Some of them used nonexistent names, some of them used false addresses and some of them were duplicates of previously filed applications,” Walsh said, describing the complaints, which largely came from the registrar in Clark County, Nev. He said some registrations used the names of Dallas Cowboys football players.

      Walsh said agents from both the secretary of state’s office and Nevada attorney general’s office conducted the raid, and “took a bunch of stuff.”

      ACORN spokesman Charles Jackson confirmed the group’s Nevada office was raided.

      It’s not the first time ACORN’s been under investigation for irregularities in registration records.

      In 2006, ACORN committed what Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed called the “worse case of election fraud” in the state’s history.

      In the case, ACORN submitted just over 1,800 new voter registration forms, and all but six of the 1,800 names were fake.

      The question for voters should be to make Senator Obama explain HIS policies. His referring to his web page for a more explicit explanation is tantamount to saying, “Here. Ask my advisers to explain it because I really don’t know!”

      Voters should insist that Obama explain his entire history — the divergence between what he writes in a book and says on the stump. He should explain why he wrote a frontpiece for Ayers’ book. He should explain why he took so long to repudiate Pastor Wright and his hate-America theology. Obama should explain why he feels free to criticize some of us for “clinging to our guns” when he faces a different, “elite” audience.

      No one knows who the senator from Illinois truly is because the media fails to look into stories that are counter to the Obama mystique. And, the lack of a free and unbiased press is the problem. Even today, the Drudge is reporting that Corsi, a reporter who has written about Obama before, is being detained in Kenya because Corsi’s next release is not favorable to Obama! What kind of world is this?

      Senator McCain is a known quantity. Senator Obama is not. If the media did its job, maybe these questions would be answered because, right now, no one knows who the Democratic nominee is.

      Ayers and Obama crossed paths on boards, records show
      October 7, 2008

      Obama confirmed during that April debate that he knew Ayers “AS A GUY WHO LIVES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.”

      When pressed, Obama said they served on a charitable board together.

      … But the relationship between Obama and Ayers went deeper, ran longer and was more political than Obama — and his surrogates — have revealed, documents and interviews show.

      … For seven years, Ayers and Obama — among many others — worked on funding for education projects, including some projects advocated by Ayers.

      … “The specific job of the board of directors was to give out the money,” said Stanley Kurtz, a conservative researcher for the Ethics and Public Policy Center and frequent Obama critic.

      “Instead of giving money directly to schools, they gave money to what they call external partners and these partners were often pretty radical community organizer groups,” said Kurtz, who also has been reviewing the Annenberg Challenge’s recently released records.

      The board, for example, gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to Bill Ayers’ small schools project. The project promoted alternative education, including projects like the Peace School — where the curriculum centered on a United Nations theme — and another school where the focus was African-American studies.

      The funding, according to Kurtz and records CNN reviewed, came directly from the Annenberg foundation which Obama chaired. The project shut down in 2003 after achieving “little impact on school improvement and student outcomes,” its final report stated.

      While working on the Annenberg project, Obama and Ayers also served together on a second charitable foundation, the Woods Fund. It was that foundation that Obama referenced in the debate — not the Annenberg Challenge.

      Among Wood Foundation recipients were the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity United Church, where Obama attended and was married; and the Children and Family Justice Center, where Ayers’ wife Dohrn was director.

      For Obama, the chairmanship of the $100 million Annenberg board helped vault him from a South Side lawyer to political player. And there, too, is an Ayers connection.

      In 1995, months after the little-known Obama became Annenberg chairman, state Sen. Alice Palmer introduced the young lawyer as her political heir apparent. The introduction was made over coffee at the home of Ayers and Dohrn. Two people who attended the event told CNN the introduction of Obama included a solicitation for campaign funds.

      Obama and Ayers had a connection not just through the education and charity boards, but in the area of juvenile justice. Obama praised Ayers’ book on the subject in a 1997 Chicago Tribune review, calling it “a searing and timely account of the juvenile court system, and the courageous individuals who rescue hope from despair.

      In an event organized by Obama’s wife Michelle, then-Illinois state Sen. Obama was listed as a panelist along with Ayers on a discussion involving juvenile justice issues.

      The McCain campaign circulated a scathing statement Wednesday from John Murtagh, who described how when he was 9 years old, “the terrorist group founded by Barack Obama’s friend William Ayers, fire bombed my house.”

      The statement went on to say, “Barack Obama’s friend tried to kill my family.”

      McCain and running mate Sarah Palin did not address Ayers at a joint rally Wednesday in Bethlehem, Pa., instead focusing on the economy and questioning Obama’s credentials.

      “Who is the real Senator Obama?” McCain asked. “We can’t change the system with someone who’s never fought the system.”

      But McCain’s wife Cindy slammed Obama for, in her words, not supporting her son when he voted against the Iraq war funding bill last year.

      Obama’s vote “sent a cold chill through my body,” she said.

    72. Sharon Chicago on October 8th, 2008 3:09 pm

      “He’s not willing to drill for energy, but he’s sure willing to drill for votes,” Palin said, eliciting cheers of “Drill, baby, drill” from the crowd, which often interrupted the candidates during their joint appearance.

      McCain’s remarks about Obama were interrupted with shouts of “socialist,” “terrorist” and “liar.” At another time, a man in the bleaches shouted “No more ACORN,” referring to a group that registers poor voters.

      “We’ve all heard what he’s said. But it’s less clear what he’s done, or what he will do,” McCain said.

      The crowd replied with chants, “Nobama.”

      Similarly, Palin said there were too many questions about Obama’s past: “John McCain didn’t just come out of nowhere. The American people know John McCain.”

      Advisers say the Republican ticket will continue this forceful tone as the campaign enters its final months. Obama leads in national and state polls; McCain is looking for a way to change that.

      “Which candidate’s experience, in government and in life, makes him a more reliable leader for our country and commander in chief for our troops?” McCain said. “In short, who is ready to lead?”

      McCain’s speech centered on policies that would help the working class voters in this region where the race is close. Obama lost Pennsylvania’s Democratic primary to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and has struggled to connect with the white, working-class voters he once said cling to guns and religion in times of economic uncertainty.

      “What Sen. Obama says today and what he has done in the past are often two different things,” McCain said.

      Citing taxes, health care and energy, McCain appealed to voters’ pocketbooks and lingering doubts about Obama.

      “Who is the real Sen. Obama?” McCain said

      I HOPE HE GOES TO JAIL FOR THIS THE FULL FIVE YEARS:
      A Democratic state representative’s son has been indicted by a grand jury in Tennessee for intentionally hacking into Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s personal e-mail account.

      The grand jury in Knoxville, Tenn., returned the indictment on Oct. 7, charging David C. Kernell, 20, son of state Rep. Michael Kernell of Memphis, with intentionally accessing Palin’s Yahoo e-mail account.

      Click here to see the indictment.

      According to the indictment, Kernell allegedly reset the account password and gained access after answering a series of security questions. He allegedly read her e-mail, made screen shots of her directory, e-mails and personal information and posted them to a public Web site on Sept. 16.

      If convicted, Kernell faces up to five years in jail and a $250,000 fine.

      [...] The MSM claims the two do not know each other. In the past Obama has stated that Bill Ayers was just a person he served on a board, then he was some one who just lived in his neighborhood and then it was ok, he was someone who hosted an event for Obama when the Democratic presidential nominee first launched his political career in Chicago in 2001. Now there is yet another version, “I assumed that he had been rehabilitated.” As Town Hall states, Rehabilitated?  Is the MSM so in the bag that they won’t notice this tissue-paper thin dodge? [...]
