The McCain campaign has a new commercial about the Barack Obama-Bill Ayers connection. The anti-free speech left has decided that it would be good, clean fun to get it flagged as inappropriate content on You Tube, so now some people can’t watch it.
It seems that, with the majority of media outlets in the bag for Obama, as well as his excess of campaign funds (since he reneged on his promise to take public financing), his DISH Network channel, and his 30-minute prime time network buys, Obama can defend his own actions and associations without his minions trying to block people from seeing McCain’s ads on You Tube.
I am by no means McCain’s biggest fan. I am even considering throwing away my vote on a write-in or third party candidate. But I am sick of this suppression of free speech by the Obama people. It is getting to the point that this organized effort to silence any and all opposition to Obama is scaring me just enough that I will have to vote for McCain just to keep Obama out of power.
So, if you are looking for McCain’s Ayers ad, look no further.
Right-wing smear? Hardly. Might I remind you that the first person to ask Obama about his connections with Bill Ayers was none other than Hillary Clinton.

Interesting. What about McCain’s friendship with G. Gordon Liddy, who has admitted in his autobiography to plotting the murder of several people, never mind his Watergate conviction. Or what about his friendship with Charles Keating. Or what about McCain being on the advisory board of the U.S. Council for World Freedom which was associated with the death squads in Latin America. Then there’s that convicted felon who McCain said was a role model for young Americans. It happens to be McCain’s father in law who used mob ties to get his business started. http://straighttalkonmccain.blogspot.com/

Oh, puh-leeze. Are you even capable of an original thought or are you really incapable of doing anythign but uncritically spreading rigth wing propaganda? Ayers served on a board with Obama … and several Republicans on a fund that helped inner-city kids. Ayers is not Bin Laden. Although I personally don’t have as much of a problem with the Weather Underground as many do, this is really pathetic. Obama was eight years old, fer chrissake. Youtube’s a company. They can pull whatever they want. You’re just monain’ about free speech as an excuse to show this pathetic video.
You don’t seem bothered about Palin’s connections to the Alaskan secession movement, whose leader died in a pipe bomb experiment gone bad (similar to the WU). McCain’s ties to the U.S. COUncil for World Freedom that supplied arms to Nicaraguan Militias during Iran contra? That he was one of the Kaating Five (and yes, it matters). But Obama knows a guy who did some bad things 40 years ago, isn’t convicted of anything and he’s “palling with terrorists’? Sweet Jesus, you conservatives bring new meaning to the word “retarded”.
Double standards, anyone? I really cannot wait to see the death knell of you kooky kons. It’s coming soon, and it will be sweet.

That ad is pathetic. If Bill Ayers is an evil terrorist, why doesn’t McCain go chew his face off with his bare teeth right now? And why, pray tell, did Walter Annenberg (seen here) allow this terrorist on the board of his foundation? And what’s the deal with Donald Rumsfeld and Saddam Hussein? How did we let a terrorist sympathizer like Rumsfeld into the Defense Department?
Fascinating stuff. Highly relevant.

JD, You Tube did not ban it. Obama supporters flagged it and, pending review, as is the process, some people cannot see it, based on their settings. I fully respect You Tube’s right to pull whatever they want. I have no respect for the tactics of Obama and his supporters to silence opposition or criticism.

Question: what has Bill Ayers ever been convicted of?
Question: just what is the definition of this “pallin’ around”?

“Might I remind you that the first person to ask Obama about his connections with Bill Ayers was none other than Hillary Clinton.”
And I might I remind you that she lost to Obama. Been there, done that…this nonsense didn’t work then, and it’s not going to work now. The desperation continues…
