Why is Barack Obama trying to silence this ad?
Obama seeks to silence ad tying him to 60s radical
" 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."

The majority of Americans have no idea of William (Bill) Ayers. If they did, obama would have never won Iowa. obama has used the American youth as one of his primary bases. He knows, the youth will not pursue his past, they clearly demonstrate they have time for Paris Hilton, Brittany Spears, American Idol but have no concern for the dangers around them, through him.
This ad needs to run in all states, red, blue and purple. If New Yorkers saw his association with Ayers, do you think New York would remain in his column?
The more ads that tell the truth about obama the better. The American people must be informed & educated before going to the polls. Wm. Ayers is a well known domestic terrorist just like Osama bin Laden is a well known foreign terrorist - both intent on the destruction of the United States of America.
No American would ever support a candidate who is friends with a foreign terrorist, why would any American support a candidate who was friends with or a colleague of a domestic terrorist.
The change obama represents will destroy America! -
raves Aug 27, 2008 11:44AM GMTI'm sorry, but how does finding a way to get affordable health care to all Americans, jobs, renewable energy, independence from foreign oil, and a renewal of diplomatic relationships with the world lead to destroying America?
You'll have to do better than knee-jerk lapdog adherence to the outright lies that the Swiftboaters are foisting on their ignorant puppets. Have the courage to read a real news story that is produced with the standards of journalistic integrity, meaning reliably checking sources. And Fox talk shows do NOT count as news. -
raves +2 Aug 27, 2008 11:32PM GMTAnd I suggest that you read real news stories other that what is told to you by MSNBC & CNN.
Once you realize there are other news outlets other than those blindly supporting obama, you may wake up. However, by your response it seems that you are comatose & hypnotized. -
raves +1 Aug 28, 2008 12:10AM GMTAnother response to you; "renewal of diplomatic relationships with the world lead to destroying America?" It is called appeasement.
ie: When Russia invaded Georgia, Senator McCain responded promptly and quite presidential. obama? vacationing in Hawaii!!!
Doesn't make a difference if it is 3:00am or 3:00pm, I want a President ready - not on the beach! -

As America's Anchorman pointed out today so wisely, Obama and his camp only react that way to "attacks" that are truthful and therefore have the ability to pull the curtains open and reveal who he really is. -

Just another one of his friends. Proves to the American People that he's up to something if elected. He even may put W. Ayers in his cabinet doing something for him. AMERICA TURN YOUR BACKS ON OBADAMA BEFORE ITS TO LATE! Put John in the White to keep us safe. -

He thinks it is OK to have a member of the weatherman Underground as his friend and also his wife who was another member and he does not think it is our business . Somehow he does not think his friends should be used to define him. Yet most of us have been raised to believe you are judged by the company you keep. Sorry that is how we are and how we were raised and if he thinks we do not judge a man by the company he keeps then he is as off as when he said we hold onto our religion because we are bitter. -
raves +3 Aug 27, 2008 05:41PM GMTmy religion told me to be fair. I take insult poorly so I looked into his records. I am Catholic and he actually refused to support a legislation in Illinois that would guarantee medical care to an infant born alive following an abortion. That to me speaks of a black heart so corrupt I want no part of it. So yes my religion does guide me in many cases. But anyone who would not support giving medical care to a newborn infant I don't want as my president. That infant could be treated and then placed with a family that would love it and it would grow up being loved. The mother had her choice by then and aborted the kid, if the kid survives then because of the mother's choice you just throw it away and refuse to treat it. Many words come to my mind to describe that and black heart is the nicest. Bastard, cruel, inhuman, unchristian, evil, murderer, lowlife, no respect for the dignity of the infants life. Choose they all are not as despicable as the man who thinks it is against a woman's right to choose to treat the baby if it is born alive. Sheeesh!!!
But I did find out the facts and a huge story broke just yesterday about Obama's relationship with Ayers. Too bad you don't care enough to really read all the stuff your candidate has done. You might not be so blown away when he is defeated. -

I will say it again, it does not matter who Obama is friends with! The idiots that are "proud" to vote for him HATE AMERICA! They love the fact that he is friends with terrorists! -
raves Aug 27, 2008 11:49AM GMTI think your ignorance is making you a mindless puppet for the Swiftboaters to use as obedient attack dogs who won't spend five minutes checking the facts. The problem with America is people who just toe the party line without ever questioning why the Republicans are so afraid that the truth isn't enough, and they are forced to lie in order to get conservatives riled up. Read some real news, not just Fox talk shows.

We have seen for a long time that he is friends with this unrepenting terrorist who is shameful and not worthy to be an American citizen. But yet, people still overlook this fact or totally deny it. -
