Pretty stupid ad, but it will be enough to confuse a lot of the ignorant masses including, apparently, some on this forum. I guess that since the "Swift Boat" ads worked last time, we'll see a lot of the same foolishness this time.

Americans are too stupid or too ignorant to discuss real issues- so this is what we get- "Politics for Dummies."

They should be discussing Obama's socialist spending programs, but instead we get this nonsense...

Well maybe Ayers was a terrorist?

We need more discussion on this issue. If Obama was linked to this guy let's here about it.

good ad.

Well, we now know that even Ron Paul supporters are not all that astute. Okay, I'll explain it to you:

This ad is the classic "throw a bunch of shit against the wall and hope something sticks" strategy (BTW, this "story" has been out for months, its hardly new).

The idea of this particular version of crap throwing is to find a bad person that Obama was in some way associated with (in this case, Obama and the college professor in the ad were both on the board of an organization at the same time) and play the "guilt by association" card.

Its kind of the same as kind of tactic as finding a picture of McCain embracing a Vietnamese Communist Party official, and accusing him of being a communist sympathizer or a "Manchurian Candidate" who was sent by the Communists to take over the USA. BTW, there is a group already doing this- but they don't have national ads- yet.

Its idiotic, and you should be ashamed of yourself for falling for it (in either case).

You have a brain. Use it.

McCain and Obama are both appallingly bad candidates, but falling for this sort of garbage just makes you look stupid (and makes the rest of us look stupid by association).

You want to attack Obama (or McCain), attack him on the issues- there is plenty to dislike about both of them. Otherwise, you look like a 2-year old throwing feces against the wall.

BTW, its "hear", not "here."

Wasn't Obama's political career launched out of his house?

I don't see what's wrong with further investigating Obama's terrorist connections.

Earlier I said "You have a brain. Use it."

Obviously, I was wrong.

My apologies...

Ayers might be a terrorist. Let's find out.

Americans understand the consequences we will face if we do not prevail in the War against Terror. We must remain committed to achieving victory in Iraq, finishing our work in Afghanistan, and keeping a watchful eye on other dangerous regimes of the world, such as Iran, North Korea, and Cuba. The American Issues Project will strongly oppose legislation -- and inform the American public -- when politicians start advocating “surrender” as a public policy position.


:rolleyes: Fuck off with this garbage, shill

I don't doubt that the war on terror is made up.

Ayers might be a legitimate terrorist though.

Ayers is indeed a terrorist. From Wikiepdia:


Later in 1969, Ayers participated in planting a bomb at a statue dedicated to police casualties in the 1886 Haymarket Riot.[7] The blast broke almost 100 windows and blew pieces of the statue onto the nearby Kennedy Expressway.[8] The statue was rebuilt and unveiled on May 4, 1970, and blown up again by Weatherman on October 6, 1970.[9][8] Built yet again, the city posted a 24-hour police guard to prevent another blast.[8] He participated in the Days of Rage riot in Chicago that October, and in December was at the "War Council" meeting in Flint, Michigan.

In 2001, the New York Times reported that Ayers admitted [1] in his biography that "he participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, the Pentagon in 1972."


It shouldn't come as any great surprise that the socialists use violence to force their agenda.

Here's the "I told you so" for me though: The free speech lovin' Democrats running Obama's campaign are trying to use their political jack boots to squelch the ad. Apparently they've struck a nerve.

From the site of the folks who made the ad:
The Obama for President campaign has already begun complaining about our ad that connects Obama with domestic terrorist William Ayers. It seems they are intent to use the Federal Government to suppress political speech they disagree with. So they filed a complaint with the Department of Justice. Click here (PDF) to view the response from our attorney. (http://www.americanissuesproject.org/american-issue-project-news/update-obama-campaign-s-response-to-our-ad.html)

The complaint they filed asked the Justice Dept to investigate the organization, the officers, board of directors, and all donors.

THey haven't denied anything about the ad. They're using Chicago Democrat techniques to try to bully the ad off the air.

That's the part about the affair that should do the most damage to Obama, but it won't.

Good for them. The whole thing is a piece of propaganda horse mongering. Seriously, does anyone here actually believe Obama is a terrorist? If they are allowed to say that nonsense over and over, they should be allowed to question the legitimacy of the organizations that make those claims. This isn't about free speech, it's about smear Rovian tactics.

Get a freaking life people... this is beyond pathetic.

Not true. The retard base is around 60%... so if McCain survives he will win this election.

There are not enough educated people in this country to vote Obama in office. This country is done.

True. But many times you are defined by the company you keep. And like you have said, most americans are sheep - they aren't gonna grasp Obamas' "Change" decree of freebies and handouts and socialism. They aren't gonna get it. You have to scare them. Give them something base & simple. "scary terrorism"...."scary racists" or whatever. Talk about 'real politics' and most people are scratching their head.

Obama's lawyers sent a seconf letter to the Justice Department, demanding that they investigate and prosecute the Dallas millionaire who apparently funded the ad.

They aren't alleging that it is not true. http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0808/Obama_camp_Prosecute_Simmons.html They're alleging that it violates McCain/Feingold.
