Nothing much new here, even within the subset of YouTube critiques of Ayers, but it’s always fun to re-run that thought experiment of how the left would react to McCain palling around with abortion-clinic bombers. Oh, the Larger Truths that would be mined. Watching Obama flip-flop his way towards the center for the past few weeks actually helps put his Ayers association in context: It’s not that he’s a closet radical who regards them as fellow travelers, it’s that he’ll say and do whatever he must to advance his career. These two degenerates were in a position to help him in Chicago, so the friendship was struck. Ditto, apparently, with Wright, who had Obama pegged back when the rest of the country was still fitting him for his “new politics” laurel wreath.
Somewhere Fred Hobbs is watching this and stroking his chin thoughtfully. Exit question: Is this the sort of “turmoil” Rand Beers had in mind when lamenting McCain’s national security shortcomings? Click the image to watch.

Dig it.

And when the giant stood up he was… Ronald Reagan, who brought the Soviet Union to its knees. The law of unintended consequences always convicts fools.
Akzed on July 2, 2008 at 11:30 AM
Its too bad McCain has vowed not to engage in negative advertising because he could sure have a field day with these two.
I have a feeling that if anything brings down Obama its going to have something to do with Dorn and Ayers.
Zetterson on July 2, 2008 at 11:32 AM
How is Obama tied to these fools again? I seem to remember it being a thin thread linking them so I have a tough time caring. But correct me if I’m wrong.
Dash on July 2, 2008 at 11:37 AM
Agreed, however the 527’s will pick up that slack.
carbon_footprint on July 2, 2008 at 11:41 AM
Great video! More and more of them are showing up now. The Democrats allowed Obama to skip the vetting process to become their candidate, and now - with Hillary gone - it looks like the real vetting on him has started. The National Black Republican Association has some new video ads out also - they hammer Obama and the Dem party.

need I say more!!!!!!!
when will the MSM talk about this!!!!????
galtg on July 2, 2008 at 11:42 AM
The thread might be “thin”, but it runs all the way back to Obama’s childhood mentor, Communist Party member - Frank Marshall Davis.
KarmiCommunist on July 2, 2008 at 11:47 AM
Listen to the video, they kicked off his campaign with a fund raiser at their home. If you know anything about politics, you know the kick off campaign is reserved for the closest of allies, the best of friends.
Funny how you missed the obvious.
right2bright on July 2, 2008 at 11:47 AM
And you know this how exactly? By the woman he married and her opinions? By his other “friends” on the opposite end of the spectrum? By his failure to put his hand over his heart during the National Anthem despite the fact he could see every other person on stage was doing so? How is it that you know he just cozies up to people who can help him but it happens to turn out they all happen to be anti-American radicals?

AP, while you are apt to be less flowery in your prose, you are better than Hitchens in your delivery.
Dusty on July 2, 2008 at 11:52 AM
tigerhawks server must be smokin…can’t get in. I’ll try again in a bit.
Limerick on July 2, 2008 at 11:53 AM
The photo of Obama with a cigarette is a nice touch. If the left doesn’t care about domestic terrorists, it will really care about smoking.
Attila (Pillage Idiot) on July 2, 2008 at 11:57 AM
Thread. Over.
The man is a shell. A Hollywood pitch: lots of punchy catch phrases and comparisons to earlier successful properties with fully negotiable internal content.
spmat on July 2, 2008 at 11:58 AM
The only practical difference between Bill Ayers and Timothy McVeigh was technical skill and a big truck.
RBMN on July 2, 2008 at 11:59 AM
Swiftboating!!!!
swami on July 2, 2008 at 12:00 PM
……… Dig it!
Seven Percent Solution on July 2, 2008 at 12:01 PM
It’s not really “swiftboating,” because Ayers and Dohrn are not trying to hide what they did to damage America. They wish they’d done more to create anti-American chaos.
RBMN on July 2, 2008 at 12:12 PM
But, McCain palled around with Nixon!! The New York Times told me so!
rockmom on July 2, 2008 at 12:12 PM
We get it. When will the rest of the country take notice? I wish these 527s would hurry up…or is it better to wait until October????
HawaiiLwyr on July 2, 2008 at 12:17 PM
May I suggest some background music?
Bigfoot on July 2, 2008 at 12:23 PM
B.O. sure has some really unique friends. Maybe the FBI should take a closer look at some of the other buddies he has YET to mention.
pilamaye on July 2, 2008 at 12:24 PM
Maybe we could ask Bill and Hillary if they have the FBI files on these guys?
MarkTheGreat on July 2, 2008 at 12:31 PM
What is amazing me the most about this election, is the total lack of shame OR standards on the left.
Things which to the right are Political killers… smoking, drug use, hangin with the Homeboy terrorist, hanging with racists, freinds with AntiSemites, working for an organization that has been repeatedly brought up on charges (ACORN), the flip on campaign finance… and the flips on policy…
They just go on and on and on… with absolutly NO shame…
And the sad part is, that most of Americans either don’t know, or don’t care.
Romeo13 on July 2, 2008 at 12:35 PM
Dig THIS you treasonous POS.
Hunt035 on July 2, 2008 at 12:39 PM
Just me, but I’ll bet they had this on BHO long before the campaign started. By the time that BHO looked dangerous to them, though, Bill had done his “well, of course he won in SC” spiel, and anything from then on would have seen to be strictly racist in motivation. Regardless of how true it was…
Just like it will be viewed as racist to mention any of this, now.
dmh0667 on July 2, 2008 at 12:41 PM
Oooh, can’t wait to watch it when I get home from work!
Bob's Kid on July 2, 2008 at 12:42 PM
The swiftboat guys were right about Kerry; are you saying this is the truth about Obama?
Johan Klaus on July 2, 2008 at 12:45 PM
Republicans already have them. Ask Beckel, he’ll tell ya.
Dusty on July 2, 2008 at 12:46 PM
Romeo13 at 12:35 PM-
The MSM has decided that it is all(terrorist pals, crazy preacher, racism ["typical white woman"] flip-flopping daily like an electrocuted carp, ad absurdum) unimportant to them.
And therefore “not stories”
Michelle Obama’s “fist pump” or her “slammin” slit skirt are vital information.
Anti-American friends and mentors, not so much.
The Media is the Massage.
profitsbeard on July 2, 2008 at 12:47 PM
Didn’t Churchill say something like, “Most men will stumble opon the truth from time to time and they quickly dust themselves off and go about their way.”
ynot4tony2 on July 2, 2008 at 12:48 PM
I can’t take credit for this because I read it in the comments on another blog. But the real question is not what Obama thinks of the many radicals in his acquaintance, but why are they so enamored of HIM? Why are they so convinced he’s going to advance their goals? Maybe they know something the rest of the country doesn’t.
Missy on July 2, 2008 at 12:49 PM
BHO is an empty suit, a toy that can be played at will.
I am not optimistic that the puppet will turn on the puppeteers.
Swinehound on July 2, 2008 at 1:04 PM
I can’t get the link to work… :(
Kaptain Amerika on July 2, 2008 at 1:07 PM
Me neither. But maybe with luck, the strings will be revealed.
Missy on July 2, 2008 at 1:12 PM
This is great but it will hardly break the deep trance of BHO brainwashing syndrome. Too many already suffer from it.
Claypigeon on July 2, 2008 at 4:14 PM
Closet?! What closet? Have you considered his voting record?
No, he’s a radical leftist, all right. This flip-flopping fish act only attempts to portray a move to the center in order to secure votes from blue collar union types who are desperately searching for some excuse to stay with the Dem.
His Ayers-Dohrn association is far enough back in history to be regarded as his true self.
Jaibones on July 2, 2008 at 7:28 PM
…just like his Wright association.
Jaibones on July 2, 2008 at 7:28 PM
Its considered dumb/crazy to say that Obama is a Muslim but if Obama wants to reduce/destroy American power - and considering who his friends thats not such a stretch - then who or what does he want to replace it?
aengus on July 2, 2008 at 8:25 PM
I’m waiting to see which 527 group starts to hammer BHO with ads like this. THAT’s the group that I’ll donate to; not the Republican party.
