McCain’s Robocalls Contradict What He Said At Debate
October 16th, 2008, 6:40 PM EDT
If John McCain is telling the truth when he says “I don’t care about an old washed-up terrorist,” why did his campaign begin putting out robocalls that link Obama to Bill Ayers? The calls say:
Hello. I’m calling for John McCain and the RNC because you need to know that Barack Obama has worked closely with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, whose organization bombed the U.S. capitol, the Pentagon, a judge’s home and killed Americans. And Democrats will enact an extreme leftist agenda if they take control of Washington. Barack Obama and his Democratic allies lack the judgment to lead our country. This call was paid for by McCain-Palin 2008 and the Republican National Committee at 202-863-8500.
geez we cant let the facts be posted, can we?

Barack Obama and his Democratic allies lack the judgment to lead our country.
If McCain does or doesn’t care about Ayers, whatever. What he is saying is that Obama DOES! This is not a case where a candidate is getting flask for some whack job supporter.
Obama served as this man’s chairman for CAC. For a number of years. Obama seeks these people out and makes them his peers. THAT is troubling.

McCain says one thing and does another. There is a word for that. He is a LIAR.

“McCain says one thing and does another. There is a word for that. He is a LIAR.”
There is also another word – republican.

“Obama seeks these people out and makes them his peers”
you mean like the annenbergs??

Bradley! You Moron! Go Enlist! Get out from under your bed and sign up to fight the scary brown people!

McCain and his campaign keep lying about what Ayers said in 2001. He did not say I wish we had bombed more. He said “We did not do enough”. You have to be a complete moron to interpret that as we should have bombed more. They are lying about Ayers and they are lying about Joe(not)the Plumber.

What is this supposed to mean? if youre trying to be sarcastic it didnt work, you need to make sense.

Bradley, calling people racist and moron is the only real ammo the left has. They cannot stand and debate anything with truth. They have to spin every word, just like yellow dog dem, saying
“McCain and his campaign keep lying about what Ayers said in 2001. He did not say I wish we had bombed more. He said “We did not do enough”. You have to be a complete moron to interpret that as we should have bombed more. They are lying about Ayers and they are lying about Joe(not)the Plumber.”

Sorry, when a bomber says he did not do enough, I think he means he did not bomb and kill enough! Go figure,

Did Obama serve as Ayers chairman for 5 years?

They are lying about Ayers and they are lying about Joe(not)the Plumber.
You understand that they are not nominating him to the Plumber Cabinet set, right? He is meant to be Joe EveryMan. Barack wants to keep those who do well, down.

McCain has become nothing more than a bitter, angry, old man who out of desperation has resorted to behaving like this.
Believe it or not, but I actually used to like McCain and considered him one of the few Republicans I could have brought myself to vote for if someone horrible was every running on the Dems ticket. In fact, I may have voted for McCain if he was running against Kerry. I wasn’t trilled to be voting for Kerry, but when your alternative is Bush/Cheney – well let’s just say I would have voted for a piece of cat sh!t over them.
McCain is not the man he once was. I think many people in both parties thought highly of his character – but not after this election. In a way, I feel bad for him.
Palin on the other hand – I have no empathy for. The mere imagine of her is like waving a red flag in front of my face. Aside from her lack of intelligence (I’m not saying the woman is stupid compared to your average Joe six pack but related to the job she’s running for, well there is no nice way to say it – she’s pretty freaking dumb), she comes across as a ruthless, power-hungry, arrogant person who quite frankly needs knocked down a few pegs.

Derrick youre right, any sensible person would hear the allegations of Bill Ayers and Obama and want to know what went on, because it really is about judgement. To parse the words and say its nothing bad?
Ayers can appear on talk shows and show how he changed and repented and transparently show everything he has done, all emails, all finances, all correspondence, all phone calls made, all meetings for the past 15 earth years? not a chance, he was proud of the bombings, why did Barry deny what McCain said that he started his career in Ayers living room? Why would Farrakan call Obama the messiah? why hasnt Obama bashed islam as a sickness upon mankind?
October 17th, 2008 at 1:25 am
Bradley, well said. Check Palin all you want. But give a fair investigation of any possible anti-american terrorist connection with a person who could possibly hold the highest position in the land. Is it to much to ask that we know beyond a doubt any connection.
October 17th, 2008 at 1:39 am
How do I know that this isn’t a fake phone call created by liberal liars like Alan just to score points?
October 17th, 2008 at 1:49 am
“…why hasnt Obama bashed islam as a sickness upon mankind?”
Because he’s got a few licks of sense more than you? And, oh yeah, some of the Americans who are going to vote for him are muslims too.
“Bill Ayers, whose organization bombed the U.S. capitol, the Pentagon, a judge’s home and killed Americans.”
And they called in every bombing so police could evacuate the area, and the only “Americans” they killed were three members of the Weather Underground who died in Greenwich Village when the bomb they were making blew up in their faces.
Tim McVeigh was a terrorist. Bill Ayers was barely a vandal and the Weather Underground was a joke.

Liberal Rot, just because Ayers was inept does not change the fact that he hates america, and we have no idea of what his relationship with obama is. Why not look into it?
October 17th, 2008 at 2:31 am
This post now helps me understand why McCain responded in such a snotty, snarly, adolescent manner. He wants to continue the mission of fear. Just how many years will the Republicans try and run on terror. I think these people are becoming bottom feeders! They certainly do not show leadership skills! Are they running to represent the extremists only?
October 17th, 2008 at 8:09 am
It is indeed a sad state of affairs to see America have the wool pulled over her eyes in such a manner as the Obama people have done! People ACTUALLY THINK that the Conservatives (and intelligent Liberals!) who want to pull the blinders off our eyes about this man’s ties to those who want to destroy our country are merely peddling “fear tactics” to win an election. Let me elucidate: I always heard that, “If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, etc., then the chances are pretty good that what you have is NOT a poodle dog, you know?
Obama has a past history of cavorting about with NOT ONLY Bill Ayers, but a whole string of notorious people who are either TERRORISTS or who in some way are either anti-American or anti-white. Yet, those who want to think that Mary Poppins has become a tall black man, conveniently ignore the outcries of those who still love this country and don’t want to see it under socialist rule! How about Rev. Wright, Fr. Flager, Nelson Mandello, Hugo Chavez, and the list goes on and on and on! Yet, the liberals yell, “GUILT BY ASSOCIATION”, and expect that bandaid to cover the festering cancer of lies and coverups that exists. No, my blinded friends, it is NOT “guilt by association”, it is “GUILT BY AFFIRMATION” instead! When we want to know what the hell he was doing with Bill Ayers or Rev. Wright, we’re not coloring him guilty because he was merely ASSOCIATING with them, hell no!! We’re crying foul because of the fact that his entire career (yea, his entire LIFE) has colored him guilty because he is AFFIRMING WHAT HE BELIEVES AND ACTUALLY IS because of his associations. Obama IDENTIFIES with this crowd… Obama IS one of this crowd!!!!!!! When will you people finally wake up? When they come to yout door to take your stuff away? When they listen to every word you say or write? When the basic freedoms that you take for granted are a thing of the past? When? My God America, wake up before it’s too late!!!
It looks like a terrorist… it smells like a terrorist… it sounds like a terrorist. I don’t think we have a duck here.\

Speaking of groups that bomb the Pentagon, the Bush family had business dealings with Osama bin Laden.

I didn’t realize that Ayers had said he wished he’d “bombed” more until I watched McCain say it on the debate.
I thought (Ayers) had just said he wished “he’d done more (to stop the war)”.
Glad to have that clarified by the Republican candidate.
October 17th, 2008 at 11:53 am
They are desperate!, the end is near!
GAME OVER!

LOL!
McCains conscience is on vacation until the end of the campaign

“…just because Ayers was inept does not change the fact that he hates america…”
Ayers might hate the “america” that in your radical right-wing dreams you think you live in, but back over here in reality the man pays his taxes just like you and me.
Well I pay my taxes and I’m pretty sure Ayers does too.
You? Who knows?
October 17th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Rocky, slow down — why do you hate America so? Uncle Sammy only wants what’s best for you. You know, you really make Baby Jesus and Mommy Mary cry, when you back-talk T2P like that.
God doesn’t want you to pay taxes or hate rich people. He wants you to keep your taxes and give more of your money to the rich people.
And he WANTS you to enjoy his earthly gifts to you, even if you have to club a few baby seals or destroy acres of rainforest to do it. Strip mining? That’s just like tearing through the gift wrap on your Christmas presents!
I fear if you don’t see the error of your pinko-commie-liberal-Susan-Sarandon ways, Jesus’s daddy will spank you good when you get to the pearly gates. So be a good boy, repent now and vote Republican for the rest of your life– and you will find Eternal Life, in whitebread Republican Heaven.

[...] Those despicable robocalls being put out by the McCain camp are being done by the same firm that originated the calls that attacked him in 2000. Back then, McCain referred to them as “hate calls,” when he was viciously attacked using the same techniques he’s now using against Barack Obama. [...]

Allen, whats wrong with a hard campaign. Let them throw as much mud as each other as they can. Where is your outrage of the slaughter of poor “Joe the plumber” his great sin was to ask a question of a candidate that came by his yard. Is that not hate in its worst form
October 17th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
Rocky, the liberal rot.
Ayers might hate the “america” that in your radical right-wing dreams you think you live in, but back over here in reality the man pays his taxes just like you and me.
I never realized loving America and my constitution was a radical right wing dream. When I went to school we called it the “Great American Dream”. Ayers said he should have done more to end the war. Bombing the pentagon and police stations was not enough. But the more he wished he had done was what exactly…. have a cookie sale?????
