Obama seeks to silence ad tying him to 60s radical

DENVER (AP) - Barack Obama is striking back fiercely and swiftly to stamp out an ad that links him to a 1960s radical, eager to demonstrate a far more aggressive response to attacks than John Kerry did when faced with the 2004 "Swift Boat" campaign.
Obama not only aired a response ad to the spot linking him to William Ayers, but he sought to block stations the commercial by warning station managers and asking the Justice Department to intervene. The campaign also planned to compel advertisers to pressure stations that continue to air the anti-Obama commercial.

So why is obama trying to stamp out this ad? was it untrue? did obama not launch his political career from the living room of this terrorist?

What say you?

I wish the ad didn't call him a terrorist, although he is one.

The focus should be more on the counter-culture anti-establishment Marxist rhetoric of the Weathermen & how closely it parallels the "Black Liberation" theology of Cohn, Rev. Wright & Father Flaeger.

Obama is doing everything but denying the facts in the ad. That's because he can't.

Obama made a huge error in acknowledging the ad. It is only being run in four states, but now the whole country is talking about it.

You gotta love 527's.

What was Obama's message again?

Ah yea, Change we can bereave in.

Be fair--"good friends?" That sounds like they hang out at the pub tossing back beers and playing darts. They are "former associates" which, IMO, might be worse.

YouTube - Know Enough?

The ad in question.

i dunno, launching your political carreer from the terrorists living room sounds more than "associates". I think he even has called him or his campaign called him "friendly" with ayers.

I keep hearing this, other than sitting on the same board one time how are they "good" friends? Did Ayers come over to dinner each week? Did they golfing each weekend? That is what good friends do.

More lies from the right as usual.

That is not good friends. That is an associate at best, but sure in the hell not good friends for crying out loud.
