Conservative Counterpoint

Obama must think he is untouchable. For over a year questions have been asked about his association with Bill Ayers, a known terrorist. The clip below sums up the situation pretty well. To highlight a few points and make a few of my own please read the commentary below the clip.

1. Bill Ayers is a Professor of English. My main concern here is that Ayers has a massive amount of influence over the “young skulls full of mush” as Rush would say. I was lucky that my college professors (well the majority) did not inflict their politic views upon me or ‘punish’ me for having and backing my own opinion. Most college students do not have that option. This man is having a significant influence in a dangerous place. Today Ayers serves on a national curriculum committee marching through education.
2. Obama was only 8 years old when Ayers committed terrorist acts against our country. Just a little common sense. If you KNEW that some one was a TERRORIST, because they committed terrorist acts, bombing public buildings etc., and ADMITTED to those acts, why in the world would you consider working with them no matter the situation. Obama is getting away with using the excuse of his age, when in fact it should be another nail in the coffin for the close association between these two individuals.
3. “I assumed that he had been rehabilitated.”- I ask you, how do you rehabilitate a terrorist? Answer- YOU DON’T!
4. Obama misled ABC News, dismissing Ayers as “just some guy in my neighborhood.” He even claimed at one point that their children all attended the same school. The only problem is that the two sets of children are at least 10 years apart. Obama has known Ayers for at least 13 years and possibly since 1988. Obama returned to Chicago in 1991 to work on voter registration with a project later related to a group mentioned below called ACORN.Ayers arranged for Barack Obama to chair the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) board. Using that structure, Ayers funneled millions of dollars to friends, relatives, and sympathetic organizations with radical views of social justice. CAC granted money to ACORN, an organization Obama served as an attorney for cases to lower mortgage standards, that Obama later fed earmarks to, that his presidential campaign hired, and that is now under investigation in at least seven states for bogus voter registrations.Obama worked with Ayers three years as chairman, and until 2001 as board member. Ayers still champions radical social and educational views. Speaking before Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, Ayers said, “Teaching invites transformations, it urges revolutions small and large. La educacion es revolucion!” The Obama-Ayers professional working relationship allowed Ayers to promote his agenda at the expense of Chicago children’s education. Obama used his position on the CAC board to jump-start his political career, with Ayers and Dohrn hosting Obama’s first campaign party at their home.Obama has changed his story repeatedly, always trying to minimize his relationship with Ayers.
5. Obama says not to worry because Ayers has not endorsed him as a candidate.
6. How has endorsed Obama? “Hamas, the terrorist group that controls the Gaza Strip” endorsed Obama for president. In fact “Hamas’ political advisor, Ahmed Yousef, told WABC radio station, “We like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election.

Folks, I don’t know of a better reason to vote for McCain than that!!!!!
