    ^^^ This is a total lie.

    Ayers launched Obama's career in politics through his influence and favors. He even hosted a fundraiser for him at his house. He was an influential part of Obama being put on the Annenberg Board.

    So that's the truth, Eddie. You are repeating one of Obama's early debate lies that has been debunked months ago. Shame on you, rookie.

    No it isn't. Attacking military targets isn't terrorism, it might be treason and open rebellion, but it isn't terrorism, unless they are doing something like using innocent civilians as suicide bombers which they didn't.

    Ha.

    My prediction that McCain would wind was just me being kinda PO'd about the polls after the RNC.

    Who could have anticipated Palin would bomb and the focus would get back on the economy.

    Who could have anticipated your thread was complete nonsense? Nearly all of us.

    Who could have anticipated Palin would bomb? I did and others did too.

    Definition of terror: violent or destructive acts (as bombing) committed by groups in order to intimidate a population or government into granting their demands <insurrection and revolutionary terror>

    http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/terror

    Anyways, it seems like McCain/Palin camp is just grasping at straws right now.

    I think people forget the context of what terrorism was back in the 1960's. Keep in mind the weatherman always sought to bomb those places without people. They had no interest in killing anyone.

    That doesn't make what that group did right. Not at all. But planning to bomb the Pentagon in 1960 is not the same as doing that in 2008. Different ballgame.

    Futhermore, Obama was 8 years old. And to say Ayers is a terrorist today??? Ridiculous. He'd be arrested in an instant. He's a free man. And he's being judged in a post-9/11 spotlight. Prior to 2001, no one would consider him a terrorist....if anything, he was merely a radical vietnam protester.

    But now, with new definitions and means attached - he's a terrorist?

    And Obama assoicates with Terrorists?

    Than why is Ayers a free man?

    This uber-desperate tactic by the Republican'ts reminds me of Kevin Willis trying to grab something off the top shelf......

    The 8 years old line is just bad political spin. The fact of the matter is that when Obama was in his 30's, Ayers launched his political campaign for him. There is a direct relationship when Obama was an adult. Furthermore, Ayers IS an unrepentant terrorist and the reason he's not in jail is because he got off on technicalities (prosecutorial misconduct). The guy was a fugitive for many years and was in hiding. ... and constructing nail bombs is not exactly representative of your characterization of him 'avoiding people' with his bombs. Hello, the Pentagon has all kinds of people working in and around it. So does the NYC Police headquarters and the Capitol -- both targets of his.

    The two aren't friends, though. They met when they worked together on a non-profit project to raise funds for improving schools.

    Ayers, himself, is now a college professor.

    Hardly a terrorist.


    What about the Palins' ties to a radical group that aimed to have Alaska secede from the country that Palin is wanting to preside over?

    Once again, another example of Barack surrounding himself with shady characters. These shady characters are the same ones that many are relying on him to appoint to help him while president, in order to make up for his own lack of experience. Scary.

    Well we can go back and forth on if Bill should still be in guantanamo for setting a bomb that killed and injured 0 people 40 years ago.

    But despite Palin having read about this yesterday in the new york times, this came out years ago, and nobody cares.

    Palin looks desperate even mentioning this.

    This is what you're forced to rely on at this point? Suggesting that the man "pals around" with terrorists and will appoint them to public office? No shame at all... very sad.

    The fact that both T_J and texxy conveniently fail to respond every time they are proven wrong (daily) is VERY telling.

    The fact that they are trying to reload their toy six-shooters with an already fired bullet is more telling.

    Why bother? They can start the Palin/Jindal 2012 campaign today.

    PS -- bigtexxx, it is not "another" shady character if said character was one your brought up two months ago, and two months before that, and...

    That would be a giant insult for Piyush Jindal - he might be a douche but at least he's smart, the guy turned down Havard Med & Yale Law for Oxford.

    Compare that to Miss Wasilla who bounced around various Juco's before getting a mercy degree in Journo at a fourth-tier toilet school. YOU BETCHA!
