Rejecting Obama's Radical Friends - TIME

How about McCain and Liddy?
With friends like these ... -- chicagotribune.com

"Last November, McCain went on his radio show. Liddy greeted him as "an old friend," and McCain sounded like one. "I'm proud of you, I'm proud of your family," he gushed. "It's always a pleasure for me to come on your program, Gordon, and congratulations on your continued success and adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great."


Which principles would those be? The ones that told Liddy it was fine to break into the office of the Democratic National Committee to plant bugs and photograph documents? The ones that made him propose to kidnap anti-war activists so they couldn't disrupt the 1972 Republican National Convention? The ones that inspired him to plan the murder (never carried out) of an unfriendly newspaper columnist?"

Could you provide a cite to the statement by Obama which supports the FACT that he said Ayers was "respectable" and "mainstream"?

He quotes others as saying Ayers is 'mainstream' on his own web site.

Why do OTHERS always have to make your arguments? Do some work for yourself and PROVE the statements were false.

Good lord, Liberals can be so damned intellectually lazy; they always expect OTHERS to do their work for them.

So much for your FACTS.

You think the suggestion that these were Obama's quotes was accidental, simply poor use of words?

Neither.

The relationship between Obama and Ayers was originally brought up by Hillary Clinton during a debate last April. Soon after, Obama put on his website an "explanation" and this is where the original quote came from. It has since been removed by Obama. Here's what it said:

"Ayers and Dohrn Became Respectable Fixtures of the Mainstream in Chicago"

Pretty neat trick. Say something, then when it's quoted by an opponent, threaten them with slander for saying it. The Obama camp seems to forget that once a web page is placed on the internet, it is there forever if someone is willing to look hard enough for it.

The American Issues Project has documented every single sentence in their ad. They knew Obama would challenge them on it. The documentation can be found at:

More lies from the right as usual.
