The fact of the matter is that you are wrong. The MSM has reported on Obama's connection to Ayers even before the primaries. If you were
interested in the genesis of Obama's political career you would know this.
The other thing is that this is a tired tactic by now of attacking Obama by proxy. There has yet to be a direct attack on Obama, and that's why he
just brushes it off. The RNC doesn't have anything on him. It's all been guilty by association. From Pastor Wright, to Ayers, to Obama's given
name.
First they call Obama a Muslim when he's in fact a Christian. Then they call Obama a racist because his pastor, Wright, calls history how he's seen
it and lived it. Now Obama's a terrorist because when he was 8 years old Bill Ayers was a radical left wing activist.
Let's not forget that Obama is also said to be the Anti-Christ.
And all of this is nothing but racism by proxy:
1. Christ was bearded and White and led people through a message of unity. Obama is Black and leads people through a message of unity; therefore,
Obama is the Anti-Christ.
2. Obama doesn't seem to be a racist; his mother is White so it doesn't make too much sense. But his pastor is sure hella Black and talks like he
hates White people; especially since his church promotes Black pride (after White America decimated it), so that must mean that Obama
is a
racist.
3. Obama must be a terrorist since Ayers seemed to be one when Obama was 8 years old.
4. And Obama has got to be a Muslim. Just look at his name Barack Hussein Obama! That says it all right there, dude.
Now we have hockey puck mom Palin, the rootin' darn tootin', not quite highfalutin, making thinly veiled racist remarks in quest of the White House.
In addition to her "palling around with terrorists" comment:
"This is not a man who sees America like you and I see America," she said. "We see America as a force of good in this world. We see an
America of exceptionalism."

Once again White America is exceptional. "White privilege is not dead!" is the new McCain/Palin campaign motto. Just keep it on the down low.
Bottom line is that nothing seems to stick to Obama and the McCain/Palin ticket is desperate to find something that does. Now they are trying to draw
attention away from the fact that Todd Palin is going to be
interviewed (Why is he avoiding testimony? To avoid
perjury or obstruction of justice perhaps?) in connection with Troopergate;
7 Palin aides are going to testify. The McCain/Palin ticket
is seems to be just a bunch of desperadoes pretending to be mavericks. So we now witness once again the use of fear tactics and strategies.
It's so obvious that the Republican supporters are being played. That's what's ironic about all of this. The Republican base is being played, not
the Democrats. Since McCain gave up on Michigan, his campaign is trying to dig in trenches where they have a stronghold on votes. Palin and personal
attacks are being used by McCain against Obama in the place of substance.
On a personal note: There are conservative Republican ATS members who have commented in this thread who were all but ready to give up their souls to
Ron Paul in the primaries. People who've, since I've been an ATS member, have been wholeheartedly against the Bush regime. Now that Ron Paul is
out on the sidelines, there's nothing but McMaverick and Lipstick Joe Sixpack left on the field.
There is in no way shape or form that McCain can measure up to Ron Paul. McCain is not a viable alternative. Obama is at the very least very much
unlike Bush or McCain. Obama is not Emperor Palpatine. McCain or Palin? Especially Palin who praises what Cheney has done with the office of Vice
President.
Anyway --too bad folks remain fearful of what they do not wish to understand, and indifferent to that which they do.
Please. Spare us. 
Still not listening, are you?
