McCain Campaign Takes the Gloves Off
Posted by Dave Blount at August 21, 2008 12:51 PM
McCain spokesman Brian Rogers responds to a lame attempt by the Obama campaign to link McCain to the stale Abramoff scandal through Ralph Reed:
Barack Obama's ad is ridiculous. Because of John McCain, corruption was exposed and people like Jack Abramoff went to jail.
However, if Barack Obama wants to have a discussion about truly questionable associations, let's start with his relationship with the unrepentant terrorist William Ayers, at whose home Obama's political career was reportedly launched. Mr. Ayers was a leader of the Weather Underground, a terrorist group responsible for countless bombings against targets including the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon and numerous police stations, courthouses and banks. In recent years, Mr. Ayers has stated, "I don't regret setting bombs … I feel we didn't do enough."
The question now is, will Barack Obama immediately call on the University of Illinois to release all of the records they are currently withholding to shed further light on Senator Obama's relationship with this unrepentant terrorist?
What's this about University of Illinois releasing its records? Apparently there's much more to be learned about Obama's longstanding relationship with the Maoist terrorist Ayers. Obama WTF offers some interesting clues, which would lead to front page stories if the mainstream media had a higher calling than installing Obama in the White House.
If the media won't do its job and give us relevant background on Obama, people will be forced to get their news from the McCain campaign. Opening the door to guilt by association was not a wise move on Obama's part.
