RNC Now Beating The Ayers Drum

October 12th, 2008, 9:29 PM EDT

It hasn’t worked so far, but nevertheless, the Republican National Committee is releasing another ad linking Barack Obama to William Ayers, called “Guilt By Participation”.  Politco reports that they’re doing this even though they know these attacks aren’t moving McCain’s numbers.


Republican officials don’t claim that the Ayers issue is moving numbers for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.). A Republican official replied that the reason for the continued push is: “Ayers has been effective from the standpoint that it helps further doubts that already exist about Obama’s judgment and how much we really know about him.”



Isn’t doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result the definition of insanity?

  1. well I for one am tired of all the ayers, acorn, wright, fannie mae, communist mentoring, islamic upbringing, shaddy contributions, etc smears. heh…lets just talk about obama and his voting record. that alone is enough to “change” my vote “my friends”. I know mccain’s is not much better but it is an approvement. pick the pill that will kill you the slowest I say.

  3. Kenny,

    What’s wrong with this?

    How is this any different from politicians speaking to Christian groups, or the business community, or the energy industry and assuring them that they will help shape our policy?

    I’m sorry, but you guys are REALLY reaching.

    I feel like I was transported back to middle school.

  4. Im sure liberals will find a way to pull an alan and dance around that one to hail their mascot.

  5. Kenny,

    What’s wrong with this?

    How is this any different than any politician speaking to a Christian group, or the business community, or the oil and gas industry, and telling them that they will help shape their policy?

    It’s pretty standard stuff.

    You guys are REALLY reaching.

    I feel like I’ve been transported back to middle school.

  6. lol, You’re going to have to do better than that! Obama telling a whole bunch of different community organizations represented by the people on stage, with ACORN only being one of them, that they’ll have input in his administration. Wow. My knees are shaking. Politicans left and right every day of the year tell every organization they can that they’ll have input. Christian organizations, charity organizations, union organizations, socially conservative organizations… the list is endless. I think maybe you’re a little naive but that’s ok, one of you also thinks the FBI raided Obama’s headquarters today for truckloads of evidence involving “Saudi Iran” contributions. lol.

    Anyway once again here is the link to PolitiFact.com, a fact checking organization that has verified and validated Obama’s US/Hawaii birth certificate. Read the article. A guy from there was on C-SPAN this morning talking about it.

    http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2008/jun/27/obamas-birth-certificate-part-ii/

  7. LOL Lefty! You posted first while I was writing mine. You basically said the same thing that I did. That’s ok, I forgive you.

    Desperate. These people are desperate. And very very sad.

    So have you heard that Barack Obama is really a Mandingo Warrior? Yeah, it’s true! I read it on the internet!!! Maybe there’s a youtube video…

  8. you guys should be on Soul Train with all that dancing.

  10. Stan, so you must REALLY be angry at the Republicans who served on the board with Ayres AND with the Republican, Annenberg, who hired Ayres.

    These are just different variations of the SAME smears that the far right use against ALL their opponents including John McCain.

    It’s REALLY getting old.

  11. Hey, RNC! When the horse is dead, you really should stop beating it. The ASPCA will be after you.

  12. Old Lefty
    Did you see the video.
    ……………………

    This is the same as ANY politician who speaks to those he feels have voices that should be hear, whether it a chamber of commerece, small businesses or church groups.

    No one is hiding anything, and what industries are they talking about nationalizing, since you throw words around like socialism?

    I think you get these talking points from right wingers, and don’t seem to know what they mean.

  13. dance dance dance,dance to the music…dance untill you feel free…

  14. You might want to see this video before they take it down. There is some funny stuff that someone tacked on the first few seconds that does not belong on there, but this video is definitely not tongue in cheek. It’s real.

    Well I know you are but what am I?

    I’m rubber, you’re glue, whatever you say sticks back on you!

    Thanks for the intelligent and very ADULT conversation.

  16. Alan,

    You keep claiming that McCain connecting OBAMA to Ayers doesn’t work, why then, you keep on interrupting your guest? Why don’t you just leave it alone since your over liberal mouth believed that the commercial is not effective at all? I was hoping one of this day Hannity will try to shut your mouth by shoving his shoes into your mouth. You’re sickening. Find another job or better yet get your own tv show. Let’s see if anyone will waste their time watching you. Did you notice any resemblance of your picture on this site and Mrs. Obama when see smile?

  17. Sorry Alanisaconvervative, im too young to know what the show soul train is all about..

    but i love the DESPERATION on part of the radical far right nutjobs on here putting Obama with everyone evil under the sun to smear him.

    But bad, but guess what? It aint working you loons!

    They can’t talk about the issues, so they just connect invisible dots to smear obama at all costs.

    Talk about being pathetic and desperate!

  18. Hey Rene,

    if you hate Colmes so much, why do you watch Hannity & Colmes and why do you even visit his website??

    LOL

    Admit it! Your addicted to Colmes!

    Just admit it!

    Its ok to be gay now a days, right?

    But i think Colmes is married. Sorry about that.

  19. “Obama CAUGHT SAYING ACORN AND FRIENDS WILL SHAPE HIS PRESIDENTIAL AGENDA..”

    Yeah that’s right, and what it means is the radical Christian evangelical extremist lunatic fringe that’s steered this country down the road to ruin is going to have A LOT LESS influence than ever before–and deservedly so.

    And, to tell the truth, I thank God for that.

  20. During the 2004 Presidential campaign we lived with the Terror Alert level on the bottom of our T.V. screens. Once Bush was reelected, BAM/CLICK, no more orange, no more alert levels on T.V. A friend said. “Deb, you just watch. From here on out the Republicans will run their campaigns on terror.” The very tragic thing is that tactic numbs people to real terror alerts. They will just believe the Republicans are up to their old tricks. It also becomes a danger that anytime a Republican opposes someone or policy, they can just label them TERRORIST. This tactic puts our country at risk!

  21. Stan, you ignorant slut…

  22. The RNC is trying to attract new members to help in the opposition to Obama and his Youth Movement. They are planting seeds of dissent in an attempt to create a stronger opposition and a backlash for the next election. If Obama’s popularity continues to grow, he could win this election in a pure landslide and have a true mandate. The RNC must undercut Obama with the hope of having any voice in government. Democrats will be in the Majority, but there will be many varieties of Democrats. Can we stay united and do what’s right for the people or self-destruct and allow Republicans to pick up the splintered peices? Hating Obama is essential to this reconstruction plan.

  24. Now it worked. Cecil, you may be right. The Republican’s ability to reconstruct a positive plan died long ago. To have a voice they may need to change their voice. There are some in the right wing media who will have a Hay Day tearing apart and blaming the many people who now need assistance (handout) due to the failed economic policies of the last 8 yrs. The number of unfortunates grows everyday. As everyone go down, keep an ear up to those who did well…Oil Companies?…Haliburton? “The times they are a changing” Thank God

  27. Due to the failed economic policies of the last eight years, job loss,high prices and loss of retirement security, there are some in the right wing media who will have a Hay Day tearing apart and condeming the rapidly growing number of people in need of assistance(handout).Always a bright spot for someone?

  28. Congratulations Paul Krugman!

  29. If all you republicans think Ayers is Soooo bad why is he still allowed to be in America? It seems like it was OK of Ayers being here until now that Sen.Obama is the canidate. You “Whimps” how pity-fully childlist you’ll all seem, just like mccain using the same old lines to get up off the ground. Mccain does not understand our pain because he and ms.cindy is filty rich, can’t you’ll get it. MCcain don’t know from day-day if he wants to defend Sen.Obama or whip his A$$ because he’s torn between doing right or trying to play hardball to make you idiot’s happy not thinking or being concerned about the issues.

    There are alot of people that are allowed to be in the United States that shouldn’t be……talk about rich look at Obama. If you are looking for Obama to straighten out this economy…look again.

  32. Linda, Sen.Obama’s/Michell’s vs. Mccain/Cindy’s richness is no carparison. I agree that there is a lot of ppls that don’t deserve to be in America like(KKK’s)but are you asking ?’s them. Why haven’t Ayer’s been put out since you republican are so against him NOW. Are you responsible for every person’s wrong doing that you have aquaintance with especially when it happen in your youth. Are these the issues that makes Sen.Obama not qualified or is it mostly because he’s not “White” because if Sen.Obama was White it wouldn’t be a snowball’s chance in Hell for McCain and you know it GIRLY!!! GET REAL.

  33. Desperate people do desperate things,G.W Bush cost Sen. John McCain the republican ticket in 2OOO,he will cost him this election.This election has been interesting and close even without the full support of his party the base and the georgetown conservatives,who needs those guys any way?

  34. Judge Linda said:

    There are alot of people that are allowed to be in the United States that shouldn’t be……talk about rich look at Obama. If you are looking for Obama to straighten out this economy…look again.

    LOL. Yesterday Linda appointed herself Pope, today she is deciding who should be in the United States.

  35. Since Ayers hasn’t been convicted of anything, I’m more concerned about McCain palling around with CONVICTED FELONS.
    For some reason, that doesn’t bother conservatives.

  36. Boogieman you are right, why are the republican more concerned about Ayers who wasn’t convicted, and not the KEATING 5 who was convicted and MCCAIN paying back the $112,000 given him by the KEATING 5 to entertain him and his family. What’s up with that? As of OCT,10 Palin who used her authority on the firing of Monegan for personal reasons. Palin is still not completly off the hook because the personell board still goining throug the final decision of Palin going against the ethnic trust of the Alaskan ppls. Why not being more concerned “WHO IS THIS WOMAN AND WHAT’S NEXT FROM HER SINCE SHE WAS NOT VETTED!!!

  37. The lead prosecutor in the Ayers case, says he is outraged that they are connecting him to Barack Obama.

    He also says that the reason that Ayres was not prosecuted was NOT because of prosecutorial misconduct, but illegal proceedings by Nixon’s AG Mitchell like illegal wiretapping.

    Makes sense.

  38. Looks to me as if the last ditch effort smear campaign has rapidly backfired on the McCain camp. People are tired of that noise.

  39. You have to admit, Guilt by PARTICIPATION is pretty darned catchy.

  41. Alan please get someone on H&C from this board that Obama was on in Chicago?I found out Ayers was not even a board member.we can find out what really happend.

  42. Jane you ignorant slut!

    this is the kind of language and dialog we need on H&C, pay per view

    Ayers is a terrorist, Obama is a socialist, he registered as a socialist and is pals with socialists and is to the LEFT of George McGovern!

  43. Oh My God,

    I juat heard…..

    Barack Obama, is REALLY a Klingon…

    He’s on a secret mission to become the president, and then kill Capt Kirk!

  44. Will somebody come and get that dead horse out of here? The poor thing needs to be put under the ground quickly. It stinks more than the people who keep beating it.

  45. I think it’s sick to suggest that Barack Obama isn’t American….why the heck would he be running? he’s a lawyer he’d know someone would find out….. He really doesn’t have anything to hide because millions of Americans are born “outside” America and are still American…jesh his mom is American! He’d automtically qualify to have all rights like all Americans anyway….

    what’s the big deal? McCain was born in Panama – I don’t hear any questions about that?

    To put this Ayers thing to rest just go to factcheck.org The transcript is posted there….end of story! Now moving on to another lie about Obama….

  46. ^ The latest anti-Obama “chain email” going around?

    You forgot the most important factor. Who’s been the one in charge for the last 2 years as well as the 6 years before that which have brought us to this point?

    Need I say more? President George W. Bush.

    We weren’t doing too well 2 years ago either. That’s why the Democrats got voted into Congress in the first place.

  47. The economy was NEVER doing well under Bush. Only the uber rich were doing very well.

    It was deteriorating little by little, as anyone who sounded the warning bells were called far left loones, while the right wing cheerleaders said the ecomony was fabulous!

    I takes something HUGE for the media to cover it on more than pp25 of the newspapers, lest they be called “liberal media”

    Economists like Paul Krugman have been warning about this for the last seven years. They called him a far left quack.

    Barack Obama warned the Nasdaq that this was going to happen in 2007.

    The high price of gasoline was an issue in the 04 election.

    While the Democrats certainly are not perfect, they have not had enough power for long enough to do much, good or bad.

    The Republicans went into 2007 with the goal of preventing Congress from ‘doing anything’:

    Republican Whip Senator Trent Lott in a Roll Call article dated April 18, 2007:

    “The strategy of being obstructionist can work or fail … so far it’s working for us.”

    The plan, obstruct EVERYTHING….then claim the opposition party did NOTHING.

    It’s just not working anymore.

  48. What Barry Obama’s Tax Plan means to us. In the words of T Boone “It will be the Greatest Transfer of wealth ” in human history. The transfer of our Tax Dollars to those who do not pay TAXES.

    It is the biggest wealth redistribution scheme in history. To make it FAIR ( Barry O and Nancy Pelosi) for those who do not have as much. ( We want to be fair, now. Nancy use your own money)

    They want our Tax Dollars to fund their Radical leftist programs ( wealth redistribution), entitlement programs ( to buy more votes later, and get you hooked on government handouts, free money) .

    It is really sad that you work ,save ,invest , for a better life and finally get to where you can relax and Barry O , Nancy P. want to take it away ( Higher Taxes, i.e. steal it ) from you to give to those who do not pay taxes and those who do not work.. To pander and buy votes with government handouts, entitlements . We ( The Tax Payers) did not get any special deals or handouts from the government, we worked for it, we invested it, we saved it for the future . And, thus we will be penalized for our hard work and financial planning.

    It does not give one a lot of incentive succeed and strive toward the American Dream , because when you get to that MAGIC $250,000 , Ol Barry O and Nancy P are going to take it away from you, give it to someone else.

    Plus the Democrats are already talking about reinstituting the Band On Offshore Drilling. Talk about Political year lies and deceit for political gain.

    Wake Up America , before it is to late.

    Ayers should be in prison with his wife for life.

    Allen just put on a Obama hat. I just can not believe you.

  49. RPS, instead of posting the exact same message in multiple topics – perhaps you could give us some specifics of what you are talking about.

    This same exact nonesense has been posted ad infinitum, yet no one ever cares to actually discuss the specifics. I would welcome a real conversation on what specific ‘radical programs’ are going to be funded, what makes you think anyone is going to take your money away if you earn more than 250K, etc…
