McCain goes full frontal on Obama-Ayers connection

Team McCain has a new ad out this morning called “Ayers”, a comprehensive attack on Obama on his relationship with former Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers. This isn’t just a suggestive 30-second spot. It’s one minute and forty seconds that detail the kind of work the two did together, Ayers’ early political partnership, and Obama’s obfuscation of the nature of their political partnership in Chicago:
Barack Obama and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. Friends. They’ve worked together for years. But Obama tries to hide it. Why?
Obama launched his political career in Ayers’ living room. Ayers and Obama ran a radical “education” foundation, together. They wrote the foundation’s by-laws, together. Obama was the foundation’s first chairman. Reports say they, “distributed more than $100 million to ideological allies with no discernible improvement in education.”
When their relationship became an issue, Obama just responded, “This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood.” That’s it?
We know Bill Ayers ran the “violent left wing activist group” called Weather Underground. We know Ayers’ wife was on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted list. We know they bombed the Capitol. The Pentagon. A judge’s home. We know Ayers said, “I don’t regret setting bombs. …. I feel we didn’t do enough.”
But Obama’s friendship with terrorist Ayers isn’t the issue. The issue is Barack Obama’s judgment and candor. When Obama just says, “This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood,” Americans say, “Where’s the truth, Barack?”
Barack Obama. Too risky for America.
The length of the spot would normally indicate that this is intended for web viewing only. However, John McCain gives the standard broadcast endorsement at the end, which strongly suggests that they will do ad buys in 90-second chunks in some battleground states for this. Recent reports had Obama outspending McCain 3-1 since the conventions, but perhaps Team McCain wanted to conserve its cash for this attack.
I suspect this is not the end of this subject, either. I’d expect at least one more ad featuring John Murtaugh, the son of the judge whose home got bombed by the Weather Underground. Murtaugh, who is running for the New York state legislature, has already released a statement through the McCain campaign attacking Obama for associating with an unrepentant leader of the terrorist organization that tried to kill him as a boy. I’m certain he will happily participate in an ad to put a human face on Ayers’ terrorism.
This ad demonstrates that McCain has no intention of nibbling around the edges on Ayers. He will go after Obama with everything he has on this subject. This also puts pressure on McCain to “say it to his face” in the next debate, as Obama will certainly challenge him to do after this ad airs. Bob Schieffer, the next debate moderator, may already be writing the question for it now.

McCain is finally doing the job the media refuses to do.
Politicians like Obama do our country no favor by obfuscating and denying their past.
Eventually the truth will out, the investigations begin and the system grinds to a halt.
Obama should have the balls to embrace his leftist beliefs without reservation and trumpet them.
But he doesn’t. Why?
mylegsareswollen on October 9, 2008 at 7:13 AM
Great…now how about a 1:40 ad that details the Democrats’ culpability in the credit market meltdown?

the question for it now.to the Obama campaign for instructions.This makes more sense.
meci on October 9, 2008 at 7:18 AM
This is great but way late. What they need to do is connect Obama, Ayers and ACORN and show the grand plan.
drjohn on October 9, 2008 at 7:19 AM
The ad mentions only one board whereas they worked together on two boards: Annenberg Challenge and Woods Foundation. The ad also buys into the Obama camp’s premise that somehow this isn’t relevant but covers it up by saying it’s about his judgement.
Still, I am happy that the Mccain camp is getting its act together. Next ad on Obama’s New Party membership and ties to ACORN please.
promachus on October 9, 2008 at 7:20 AM
This morning, CNN had Malveaux covering the Obama campaign smiling and adoring as usual, and then had Dana Bash dissect McCain’s plan for mortgages with disdain, saying it was Hillary Clinton’s plan, except for the details.
There was no “coverage” of McCain’s campaign. There was another Ginny Moos hit piece on Palin before 7. They have become a daily event.
drjohn on October 9, 2008 at 7:22 AM
I think, after McCain faced an interrogator for 5 long years, that Obama’s boast to ’say it to my face’ is pretty damn funny, when put in perspective.
Oooohhhh, big bad metrosexual Harvard man/boy gets tough, using the scrappin’ skills he learned at Hawaii’s finest prep schools!!
hippie_chucker on October 9, 2008 at 7:22 AM
Good ad and timing. The closer to the election the harder it is to shrug it off and let the impact fade. There are very few if any things about McCain with which Obama can plant the seeds of doubt.
Expect the 527 groups to play the Wright issue heavily about 10 days out from the election.
Bradky on October 9, 2008 at 7:22 AM
Too little, too late I fear.
flyawaybird on October 9, 2008 at 7:23 AM
The ad is excellently produced though. It has a very creepy ominous tone to it and that should make your skin prickle. They should have used Obama’s actual words saying that “he’s just a guy in the neighborhood.”
promachus on October 9, 2008 at 7:23 AM
This is good. How about economics, too, since the media won’t do that either?
Gas is now $2.87 in my neighborhood, down a ful dollar from this summer. Three things happened: Bush removed the executive order banning offshore drilling, Iraq has had relatively solid peace, and Congress finally let the ban on offshore drilling expire.
How about an ad showing Dems saying that these steps wouldn’t reduce the price of gas and then showing how it has? Perception, supply, demand, speculation. Dems don’t understand economics. Hit them on their energy stupidity and on their ignorance of economics.
beatcanvas on October 9, 2008 at 7:23 AM
I wonder if Schieffer will ask about this or if it will just be another elephant in the room kind of issue.
Terrye on October 9, 2008 at 7:23 AM
Where is this ad being aired? Nationally? Swing states? Internet only? I now you don’t know, Ed, but it’s going to make a big difference where.
Marybeth on October 9, 2008 at 7:24 AM
There are two possibilities. People have made up their minds about Obama and this is going to be a landslide victory or they are still having doubts and McCain still has time to widen them. Even if people say they don’t want to hear it, negative ads do influence voters. I hope it is the latter.
johnt on October 9, 2008 at 7:24 AM
****John Murtaugh is on Fox and Friends speaking about his ordeal****
flyawaybird on October 9, 2008 at 7:25 AM
flipflop:
McCain did do ads tying Johnson and Raines to Fannie and Freddie and both of them to Obama. I don’t know if people are willing to just blame one party for this fiasco. I sense a pox on both your houses kind of attitude out there.
Terrye on October 9, 2008 at 7:25 AM

Sheesh, it’s early!

Yesterday, I watched ABC ’s Terry Moran had Matthew Dowd and Donna Brazille trash Palin but no counterpoint was offered. It was disgusting.

drjohn:
I am not sure about it being too late. I remember when the Gore people came out with the old DUI thing on Bush a couple of days before the election in 2000. It hurt him.
Terrye on October 9, 2008 at 7:26 AM
If McCain is going to make the reast of this election about Obama’s character he has to call him out in the last debate. Otherwise he looks disingenuous. But supposedly calling people out in public is something McCain hates to do. I think McCain risks Obama calling him out if he doesn’t strike first.
johnt on October 9, 2008 at 7:27 AM
Putting the truth out, standing behind & letting the public decide – Campaign does it RIGHT – this time.

If Obama wins or not, this stuff will stick and bring all of his actions under a cloud of suspicion.
The real wild card is Michelle O. She’s been straining to keep the lid on her leftism.
mylegsareswollen on October 9, 2008 at 7:28 AM
A new slogan: “Acorn, Ayers, and Obama, three peas in a pod. Stealing your election and radicalizing your country while your asleep at the voting booth lever.”
BuckeyeSam on October 9, 2008 at 7:29 AM
I’m totally cool with exposing Obama’s radical associations, but can we please not cut to the angelic music when the candidate says, “I’m John McCain and I support this message.” Both parties do it and it’s just weird.
watchmen on October 9, 2008 at 7:30 AM
I think they also need to bring up the O!’s campaigning for Raila Odinga in Kenya and Odinga’s incitement of tribal violence that followed his election defeat. This occurred in 2007, recent history if you will.

They ought to tie Obama to Dodd, Schumer, Frank and the rest of the Democrats who brought on this disaster and SPELL it it OUT.

It’s coming late, but I’m starting to feel the same sentiment expressed by Flounder in the concluding chaos of Animal House: “This is so great!”
BuckeyeSam on October 9, 2008 at 7:32 AM
Murtaugh ought to speak opposite of Gibbs and let Gibbs tell Murtaugh that Ayers doesn’t matter.
drjohn on October 9, 2008 at 7:32 AM
It is a pretty well done ad, and the timing is just fine.
There are many things that we can justifiably accuse McCain of being “too little, too late”, but this isn’t one of them.
The only real fault I can find with it is that I think that it would have been ten times more powerful if McCain himself narrated it instead of some nameless woman. Or at least have Sarah do it.
Too easy to just tune it out when it is a bland voice professional, rather than someone directly involved and identifiable.
IMHO, anyway.
LegendHasIt on October 9, 2008 at 7:34 AM
McCain: telling us what the media won’t.
BuckeyeSam on October 9, 2008 at 7:34 AM
Excellent ad. Buzz it up, yo.
eyedoc on October 9, 2008 at 7:35 AM
Just saw Murtagh on Fox. This man saw raw hatred visited upon him as a child. Murtagh gives powerful witness, and he hit the same notes as this ad. The ad was succinct and scathing and hits Obama right in the solar plexus of his stunning lack of candor, honesty, and trustworthiness.
marybel on October 9, 2008 at 7:35 AM
Excellent ad. That’s the Annenberg Foundation’s $$$$MMMM to Ayers…BO is a voyeur Marxist Revolutionary…now we have 4R’s in our schools: reading, riting, rithmetic and radicalism….hey and let’s not forget Jeremiah Wright the Marxist Black Liberation Theologian.

Not specifically NK, probably just generic Communist. Red stars are a common Communist symbols, and often show up the the flags of Communist nations. See here.
Bartrams_Garden on October 9, 2008 at 7:36 AM

obamas mouthpiece bill burton is trying to play the distraction card on fox now…
how these people can get on tv and lie with a straight face is amazing.
trailortrash on October 9, 2008 at 7:39 AM
Pedal to the metal on Ayers, CAC, ACORN, and Wright. It’s low-handing fruit. Take it. Hopefully it’s not too late.
petefrt on October 9, 2008 at 7:41 AM
How can Bill Burton defend Obama? He says that reporters have “looked into it.” No they didn’t. He said that they “combed over it.”
Here’s a point. No one knows what’s coming next? Did Bush anticipate 9/11? Would we rather have had Gore? Most Americans usually go for character.
Burton’s being asked about the Murtagh. Oh, they’re tying Michelle Obama too. Bad answer.

Obama is a fool to challenge McCain to an in-your-face confrontation. The guy winces at debates when McCain makes the mildest attacks. Strutting and pretending–Obomba.

bill burton is a shameless man.
trailortrash on October 9, 2008 at 7:43 AM
If it weren’t for the economic crisis, this would be a great line of attack. Now people are going to ignore it and see it as an attempt at a distraction. At best, it will solidify fence-sitters.
jimmy the notable on October 9, 2008 at 7:44 AM
Where is the Wright connection? This is weak without further evidence that the Obamas are racist, anti-American scoundrels with ‘change’ equating to overthrowing this nation’s Constitution.
Change Heil!!!
Hening on October 9, 2008 at 7:45 AM
Candor here, so excuse me but at this hour I don’t feel too ready for formalities: I was just TRYING to wade through, reading some of the comments on Politico interspersed with the latest propaganda of this past night, and, this was after I had to send the daily round of Obama-nasties left on my own site into permanent storage. IF there is a face and tone to The Negative, it is the environment that is now generated around Obama because what I read, everywhere, from any and all who affiliate with him — as from him — is The Negative. It’s as if all the darkness in the world has congregated into one pool and now oozed upward into a walking, typing, speaking thing, and it’s supporting Obama.
Anything that is said or written from outside that Negative Pool Walking, is dismissed as “unwanted” negative, so, thus, no improvements or elevations away from the Negative can be made as to impacting that Walking Negative.
We can hope at this point to enlighten and better inform those voters who are not affiliated one way or the other — the information I read about Obama and FROM Obama (as just described), is more than enough to send most reasonable people walking in another direction.
It’s late, and I’m more than a little tired…
S on October 9, 2008 at 7:45 AM
I agree. Completely. Obama is revolting to my eye and ear. His supporters are so dim as to miss the overall statement being made: Obama goes behind McCain’s back and accuses McCain to a third party of “not saying it to my face.”
Obama is scurrilous, despicably cowardly. Just despicably cowardly.
S on October 9, 2008 at 7:48 AM
From what I’ve seen, there are still many undecided voters and many voters who’s support is weak and who could change their minds before Election Day. I think if this piece is part of a big ad buy in the important swing states it can be a game changer, so I hope it’s not just an internet ad.
We do need an ad tying Obama to Fannie Mae, and explaining that the Democrats are responsible for that whole mess. And, an ad tying Obama to the Democratic Socialists of America would be very powerful as well.
eyedoc on October 9, 2008 at 7:49 AM

J.J. Sefton on October 9, 2008 at 7:51 AM
They need to preface all these ads with:
“What the big media won’t tell you” and then make an ad with all the big anchors fawning over Obama- make the voters understand how they’re being manipulated by the lack of vetting. Not enough people notice how they aren’t being given balanced coverage.
anniekc on October 9, 2008 at 7:52 AM
Michelle Malkan is supposed to be on Fox about 8:15 on Acorn.
BuckeyeSam on October 9, 2008 at 7:54 AM
McCain needs to be prepared to articulate two things:
1. Just what sort of “education reform” (i.e., based on what principles/values) were Ayers and Obama trying to effect? This is often lost in the apologetics for Ayers, which seek to absolve/legitimize him by claiming he was simply trying to improve the educational experience for children.
****People need to know that this “education reform” Ayers was pushing was to inculcate radical leftist victim politics in children.****
2. What the hell was Annenberg doing funding this thing? I still haven’t heard a good reply to that, and it seems to me it remains Team Barry’s most effective defense.
Purple Fury on October 9, 2008 at 7:56 AM
Well, I guess I’ll stay up just a little longer after all. I was ready to finally ‘hit the hay’.
LegendHasIt on October 9, 2008 at 7:57 AM
Thanks BuckeyeSam. I’ll be sure to catch her.
Fox and Friends spent almost half an hour on the McCain campaign and Ayers this morning…after the mention of Jamie Lynn Spears being pregnant again. But still, they hit the Ayers story hard.
I’d just like someone to get Obama to verify whether or not he launched his campaign in Ayers’ house.
Canadian Infidel on October 9, 2008 at 7:59 AM
The NRC did do an ad, it’s just too long at :90. They ought to edit it and run it wall to wall until the election.
DrSteve on October 9, 2008 at 8:01 AM
OT: McCain needs to be crystal clear that only he and Palin stand between Americans and Frank, Dodd, and other Fannie-Freddie enablers and their total whitewash of the credit crisis.
BuckeyeSam on October 9, 2008 at 8:01 AM
Is anyone actually disputing this?
DrSteve on October 9, 2008 at 8:02 AM
It has been confirmed by people that attended. As a matter of fact, the woman he was “replacing” in state office was at the party and the original story they tried to pedal was that it was her party for Obama and was just being held at Ayers’. She corrected that story herself. She said that it was an introduction of Obama at the Ayers’ house but she was an invited guest (by Ayers) like everyone else.
CC
CapedConservative on October 9, 2008 at 8:04 AM
I don’t think it’s been disputed, but I think it should be brought out more, like it was in this ad. And it should be mentioned at every opportunity, preferably with the picture of Ayers stepping on the flag showing in the background over and over.
Canadian Infidel on October 9, 2008 at 8:05 AM
Libs keep trying to shrug this off, saying it is irrelevant to the issues today. Bottom line is that Obama is a terrorist sympathizer and a socialist. The wheels are in motion for the US to adopt a government like Venezula’s.
mindhacker on October 9, 2008 at 8:05 AM
Joe Scarborough just said that Palin is the polar opposite of Obama. What?
I’d say that 10%-20% are unacceptable left and some 5% are unacceptable right. But Obama is squarely in the unacceptable left, and Palin is at the very conservative edge of the acceptable.
Sure, I’m a partisan, but I don’t see Palin involved in unacceptable things. Voter fraud?
BuckeyeSam on October 9, 2008 at 8:05 AM
It’s about time. You guys should see the moral equivalency and guilt by association crap being used about this in a comment at my blog. This individual also downplayed what Ayers and Dohrn tried to do, too such an extent it’s disgusting. I bet it’s talking points from DailyKos.
aikidoka on October 9, 2008 at 8:05 AM
About half his spokespersons say it never happened.
The other half admit it happened, but they say 0bama didn’t know anything about the guy’s history.
LegendHasIt on October 9, 2008 at 8:06 AM
But Obama’s friendship with terrorist Ayers isn’t the issue.
Yes, it is, as was his membership in the New (Socialist) Party.
Barack Obama. Too risky for America.
Not merely too risky but unfit. But I knew that when he proposed conceding Iraq to al Qaeda. All that noble sacrifice and all that money and effort to establish a democracy and then he wanted to withdraw when the going got tough leaving room for al Qaeda to establish a new base in an oil-rich country. And he claimed he wanted to send the troops to Afghanistan – apparently unaware that al Qaeda had left Afghanistan in December 2001.
Not merely too risky and unfit but clueless.
Basilsbest on October 9, 2008 at 8:06 AM
The only thing extreme about Sarah Palin is the strength of her character.
Basilsbest on October 9, 2008 at 8:09 AM
The way the Obama campaign is going batshit, it must have struck a nerve. Obama’s single biggest problem is people don’t know him well enough to feel he is presidential material. This adds to that problem.

DITTO.
Except, not “tying” Obama to the Democratic Socialists, but revealing him associated as Marxist. Hollywood’s been busy in the last years erasing any nefarious, treacherous aspects associated with the Communist Party, so today, I read (from many Obama supporters), things like this: “what’s wrong with being a Communist?”
“They” know they are. They now want impressionable people to assume it’s “a right” under our Constitution, so, no prob.
This has been the drumming from the Radical Left (and what the “Progressive Wing” of the Democratic Party is all about) that’s taken place now since McCarthy and I do conclude that that’s the underlying and rotten quality that’s affecting our mainstream media: “what’s WRONG with being a Communist?!”
Thus, we get Communist Leader, Obama.
And the U.S.A. being redone with every passing month into what the Communist Party “demands”.

I totally agree with your second sentence. They need to show the connections and the big picture. Your first sentence, I’m just hoping it’s not too late.

Chris Matthews (if you can believe it) is saying on MSNBC right now the new attacks on Obama and having Palin be the primary spokesperson are brilliant and sophisticated and are going to work despite the economic crisis.

csdeven on October 9, 2008 at 8:16 AM
Good start.
Both Hillary Clinton and John McCain should have had a full-time prong of their campaigns titled, “Do you really know who Barrack Obama is?” and educated the public on who Obama really is: a far, far, left liberal who supports the ideas that Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright (and others in their circle) espouse – a Marxist philosophy to as Bill Ayers said: “the destruction of US imperialism and the achievement of a classless world: world communism.”

Disagree. This is the exact right time. The avalanche has just begun. Next will be the FM & FM connection, Rezko, and finally, a week before the election, the Reverend “I hate whitey America” Wright issue will rear it’s head again.
Then the Bradley effect finishes it off.
csdeven on October 9, 2008 at 8:26 AM
WHat the Obama Press doesn’t want to talk about is he fact that McCain is fighting his leftist enemies yet again.
I am pretty sure McCain knows this, those a-holes that spit on him are behind the Barry campaign.
Incredible back story, too bad it’s too sensitive for our esteemed media suckholes.
benrand on October 9, 2008 at 8:26 AM
To add to the last part of your comment, does anyone really think either candidate has an answer for the economy? I trust McCain to look to more reliable people (though why he said Warren Buffet the other night I’ll never know), and I agree with O’Reilly last night–McCain needs to come out and announce that his AG is Rudy, who’s going after all the guilty parties in the credit crisis, and Romney as Secretary of Treasury, who did a nice job of cleaning up the Salt Lake City Olympics. Please.
Let’s be clear. Obama has no answers. Not one of us knows what tomorrow brings, so don’t we want someone with character? I just read that Barney Frank and Franklin Raines were Harvard law grads like Obama. I’ll pass.
BuckeyeSam on October 9, 2008 at 8:27 AM
It’s about freakin’ time. Kick ‘im in the balls John.
Mojave Mark on October 9, 2008 at 8:28 AM
They can bash McCain/Palin all they want but they still have not won this race. It is neck and neck and too close to predict. DO NOT GIVE UP. Kick all the nay sayers in the ass. Fight! Fight! Fight! We can win. Now, I fully predict the elitists of HotAir to attack me like they do Palin and call me a cheerleader for the GOP. That’s right. Unlike them, I want to win. They might as admit they want obama to win. The rest of us are willing to fight for this country. We are not quitters. We are not whiners. Obama must be stopped.
Blake on October 9, 2008 at 8:28 AM
I would like to see an announcement of that sort. I just don’t know how it will fly with the UN speech fiasco. Hillary’s main concern will be her run in 2012. Do you think she can connect with McCain and still get the nomination?
csdeven on October 9, 2008 at 8:28 AM
And if this line of attack wasn’t effective, the obamabots and the east coast elitists wouldn’t be attacking us so hard for it. I guess I’m stating the obvious, but it needs to be said again and again.
I’m sick of people trying to intimidate us from telling the truth.
Blake on October 9, 2008 at 8:31 AM
Take his challenge John and say it to his face at the next debate.
When he pulls his “it was 40 years ago and I was 8″ bullshit, bitch slap him on national TV with this.
When you sat on that couch having your political career launched by unrepentant domestic terrorists it was only 14 years, not 40, when his underlings held up a Brinks Truck and later killed several people. Tell him what happened at the truck to the guards:
“Paige was hit multiple times and killed instantly. Trombino was able to fire a single shot from his handgun, but was soon struck in the shoulder and arm by several rounds, nearly severing his arm from his body. The criminals then took $1.6 million in cash, got back in their van, and fled the scene.
Trombino survived his injuries and continued to work for the Brink’s company for the rest of his life. He was killed in the September 11 Attacks in 2001 at age 68.[1]
THEN TELL HIM THIS AFTER THE POLICE CHECKED A UHAUL
“The police officers who caught them testified that Boudin, feigning innocence, pleaded with them to put down their guns and convinced them to drop their guard; Boudin said she remained silent, that the officers relaxed spontaneously. After the police did lower their weapons, six of the men in the back of the truck, who were armed with automatic weapons and body armor, surprised the four police officers by emerging and opening fire. Officer Brown was hit repeatedly by rifle rounds and collapsed on the ground. One robber then walked up to his prone body and fired several more shots into him with a 9mm handgun, ensuring his death. Keenan was shot in the leg, but managed to duck behind a tree and return fire.
Officer O’Grady lived long enough to empty his revolver, but as he reloaded, he was shot several times with an M16. Ninety minutes later, he died on a hospital operating table. Meanwhile Lennon, who was in his cruiser when the shootout began, tried to exit out the front passenger door, but O’Grady’s body was wedged up against the door. He watched as the suspects jumped back into the U-Haul and sped directly towards him. Lennon fired his shotgun several times at the speeding truck as it collided with his police car.
The occupants of the U-Haul scattered, some climbing into the yellow Honda, others carjacking a nearby motorist while Boudin attempted to flee on foot. An off-duty corrections officer apprehended her shortly after the shoot out. When she was arrested, Boudin gave her name as Barbara Edson.
there’s even more here

All these people were friends Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. They were so close that they raised Boudin’s son who was probably in the house when Obama launched his political career. Everyone in Chicago knew these events concerning this couple. SO DID OBAMA………
then tell him he is not even fit to be in the Senate…..
Then ask him if Ayers wrote his two books
