Obama’s free to return the favor. Go back in McCain’s history and find a single time McCain worked with a terrorist and bring it out into the light of day.

That the only time McCain was surrounded by people that hate the United States, he was a POW being held against his will. Obama worked with them and attended church with them by choice.Check out Hugh Hewitt for the latest McCain ad calling Obama out on…

Boy, he really needs to take lessons from Sarah Palin.

And you are the one who complains that Sarah avoids questions.

Geez Louise, this is getting tiresome. Let’s talk about something useful.

ballz2wallz on October 9, 2008 at 5:33 PM

For instance?

Together, Obama and Ayers blew $161 million in grant money on Ayers’s radical “direct action” ideological programs, when the money should have been spent to improve Chicago schools. They accomplished nothing. Do you really think that will have no effect on voters who are looking for a president who won’t blow tax money on ideological nonsense? We can’t afford a president tied to ideological agendas.

This is the key thing with Ayers; it exposes what a careless steward Obama is with the money of other people.

Don’t forget that one of the radical groups that benefited from the money that Barry and the bomber were handing out was ACORN and they used it to not only to attempt to radicalize the school children of Chicago but also to conduct blackmail campaigns against financial institutions to get them to push through dodgy sub prime housing loans for the poor and to conduct massive electoral fraud.

Its all connected people you just have to join all of the dots.

The Obamachine stopped Hillary. We don’t need the MSM. In fact, I believe Drudge, Rush, Fox, Hannity, Levine, O’reilly, Hot Air, etc. ARE the NEW MAIN STREAM MEDIA. We need to come up with another name for the msnbc, cbs, abc,cnn and all that trash.

OldStreamMedia? OSM? Kind of like Osama?

I don’t even know what it meant to begin with….

“You, too.” It’s classically an accusation of hypocrisy – as in, “You also do what you’re criticizing others of doing, so why should I listen to your argument?” A subset of ad hominem. And, like I said, I’m not sure I see its relationship to the main topic – unless it’s just a very literal translation of the words, as in, “Hillary (you?) did it, so I can do it, too.”

From the energy crisis to corrupt race pandering that’s crashing our economy to a radical liberalism/socialist takeover that our forefathers would consider to be domestic terrorism.

Its time for all an of the above, full court press, with help from everyone getting the facts out there.

Everybody grab arms in a circle, jump and kill! kill! kill! kill! kill!

Yeah, and look what happened to her….

I used to think this was a good line of attack, but that was when this was a normal election season.

jimmy the notable on October 9, 2008 at 5:38 PM

Yes, look at what happened to her when the bulk of the voters making the choice were the far left nutjobs. Ayers will NOT appeal to moderate voters of any stripe. Ayers does appeal to a significant portion of the moonbats.

(Side note: What does “tu quoque” have do to with this story? I think it’s gotten so overused at HotAir that it’s meaning has been lost.)

Mushroom cloud! Thanks for linking that.

Brat on October 9, 2008 at 6:01 PM

My sentiments exactly. This should be a 527 ad ASAP! And add some of Obama’s words along with this ad. He said almost the identical things to Ayers after 9-11. During his European Vacation Tour, he slammed this nation and has maintained that theme throughout his campaign. Mega Thanks Jamie!

Oh, and Beckel was just on via a clip on Fox saying all this along with ACORN were silly moves on the part of the McCain camp. That means McCain camp needs to keep this up! He said it was a desperate move and funny thing Obama said the same thing to his audiences and to Gibson at ABC. Hmmmmm, me thinks we have struck gold. AND Gibson on Fox has dropped the Khalidi PLO bomb. Things are getting rather interesting out there.

McCain: I will. And it is already a matter of record, that members, Democrat members of Congress, fought against reform, and it’s a matter of record in hearings that they said in hearings that everything was fine. Senator Obama said a year ago that these kinds of sub-prime loans were quote fine with him. And the fact is, that the same people that are now claiming credit for this rescue are the same ones that were willing co-conspirators in causing the problem that it is [crowd goes crazy]. And you know their names. And you will know more of their names – Congressman Barney Frank and Senator Chris Dodd [Booo] are two of them.

The reason this argument matters, even more than similar attacks in prior elections, is two-fold:
1) It pleases and stirs up the base;
2) At least as important, and in a way that overlaps the first point, it raises doubts about Obama at a time when the financial crisis and other insecurities mean that the choice of President is more important, not less: The next President may find himself with immense power and responsibilities, as the country searches for a way out of this mess.

We need leadership that we can trust, not that adds to our uncertainties. That’s one reason why McCain can’t appear to go overboard – angry, yes, but not out of control. Giving in to rage and making wild or wild-seeming attacks would tend to nullify the “risky” and “dangerous” arguments – thus the Obamanauts’ unrelenting efforst to brand McCain as “erratic” and “desperate.”

Tu quoque

You just can’t control yourself…

I promise not to cry if you promise not to never blow off steam again. (double negative? it’s okay. Blow off steam. I’m not trying to make you stop.)

I think McCain did a good job in the interview with Gibson–especially when he said that his plan for homeowners’ mortgages came out of money already approved for the bailout, and that helping homeowners with bad mortgages props up the values of their neighbors’ houses, even if the neighbors made their payments.

McCain has got to get the marbles out of his mouth and the rocks out of his head. When he moronically rolled this out at the debate, I could have sworn that he said that this $300 billion was in addition to the $700 billion bailout. And to the extent that McCain didn’t make it clear, he’s still got most of the country thinking he did. Obama is saying he did, and the media is not going to do anything to correct the story.

Why does he continually shoot himself in the foot like this?
