First Obama's racist pastor was exposed. Obama's response: "I might not know him as well as I thought."
Then Obama's buddy, Tony Rezko, went to jail. Obama's response: "This isn't the Tony Rezko I knew."
And now Obama's friend, William Ayers, is being scrutinized. The response from Obama's camp? Obama "didn't know the history."
Folks, Obama is either lying through his teeth or he is the stupidest man on the planet. Either possibility should disqualify him from the presidency.

AP: Obama Is "Certainly Friendly" With Ayers, But To Claim They "Pal Around" Is Racist
The AP writes:
In February, Obama strategist David Axelrod told the Politico Web site: "Bill Ayers lives in his neighborhood. Their kids attend the same school. They're certainly friendly, they know each other, as anyone whose kids go to school together." But while Ayers and Obama are acquainted, the charge that they "pal around" is a stretch of any reading of the public record.
Are they friendly?
Certainly.
Do they pal around?
Certainly not.
Anyone who disagrees is a racist. And this concludes today's lesson.

NY Times On Obama-Ayers Relationship: "Obama Lied, But Nothing To See Here, Move Along"
The NY Times has finally gotten around to covering the Obama-Ayers relationship:
Obama and ’60s Bomber: A Look Into Crossed Paths
By SCOTT SHANE
Published: October 3, 2008
CHICAGO — At a tumultuous meeting of anti-Vietnam War militants at the Chicago Coliseum in 1969, Bill Ayers helped found the radical Weathermen, launching a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and United States Capitol. Twenty-six years later, at a lunchtime meeting about school reform in a Chicago skyscraper, Barack Obama met Mr. Ayers, by then an education professor. Their paths have crossed sporadically since then, at a coffee Mr. Ayers hosted for Mr. Obama’s first run for office, on the schools project and a charitable board, and in casual encounters as Hyde Park neighbors.
Notice how the Times attempts to frame the Obama-Ayers relationship as "paths crossing sporadically." Never mind that Obama consciously chose to launch his political career in Obama's home. It's just "paths crossing sporadically" -- nothing to get worked up about. The article continues:
More recently, conservative critics who accuse Mr. Obama of a stealth radical agenda have asserted that he has misleadingly minimized his relationship with Mr. Ayers, whom the candidate has dismissed as “a guy who lives in my neighborhood” and “somebody who worked on education issues in Chicago that I know.”
So it's just "conservative critics" who could even possibly see a problem with Obama's relationship with a committed Marxist who bombed the Pentagon and wishes he had done more? But then it gets better. The Times admits that those "conservative critics" are actually right:
A review of records of the schools project and interviews with a dozen people who know both men, suggest that Mr. Obama, 47, has played down his contacts with Mr. Ayers, 63.
So there you have it. According to the Times, Obama has in fact deliberately misled about the nature of his relationship with Ayers. But stop reading there, folks -- the rest of article is pure spin. The relationship has been "greatly exaggerated" and anyone who says otherwise is simply attempting to "smear" Obama. Oh, and Ayers is a great guy now, he's a well-respected professor who "has done a lot of good" for the country. In short, Ayers is a true patriot.
Of course, the Times declines to tell its readers that Ayers is still a committed Marxist who as recently as November 2006 visited Hugo Chavez in Venezuela to celebrate socialism and urge Venezuelans "to continue to overcome the failings of capitalist education as you seek to create something truly new and deeply humane."
UPDATE: Sarahcuda slams Obama for Ayers connection during talk in Colorado:
"There's been a lot of interest in what I read lately. Well, I was reading my copy of today’s New York Times and I was really interested to read about Barack’s friends from Chicago. Turns out, one of his earliest supporters is a man who, according to The New York Times was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, ‘launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol.’ These are the same guys who think patriotism is paying higher taxes. This is not a man who sees America as you and I do - as the greatest force for good in the world. This is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to pal around with terrorists who targeted their own country. This, ladies and gentlemen, has nothing to do with the kind of change anyone can believe in - not my kids and not your kids. The only man who can take on Washington is John McCain."

Obama's Hidden Marxist Past
Why does the media refuse to investigate Obama's Marxist past? Let's look at the evidence:
1. Obama's mother, Stanley Dunham, appears to have been a communist. In this otherwise unremarkable Chicago Tribune article about Obama's mother, it is revealed that Ms. Dunham grew up attending a radical Seattle church known as "the little Red church on the hill" and that her friends referred to her as a "fellow traveler," which is code for communist sympathizer. The same article also notes that the chairman of the school board and several of Ms. Dunham's high school teachers were communists.
2. Obama's father, Barack H. Obama, also appears to have been a Marxist. In fact, the elder Obama penned a scholarly article entitled "Problems Facing Our Socialism" in which he argued in favor of government planning/restribution of resources and lauded an article entitled "Appeals for Confiscation in Economic Development."
3. Then there is the issue of Obama's childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, who was an open member of the Communist Party USA. In his autobiography "Dreams From My Father," Obama describes Mr. Davis as "a poet" who was full of "hard-earned knowledge."
4. Next there is Obama's time as a "community organizer" -- a "profession" invented by the Marxist, Saul Alinsky. The Wikipedia entry on Alinsky notes that in his seminal work, "Rules For Radicals," Alinsky explained that "community organizing" was actually the first step towards Marxist revolution:
Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution. To bring on this reformation requires that the organizer work inside the system . . . .
And make no mistake, Obama was a devotee of the Alinsky method, as was recently confirmed by Alinsky's son. Obama also contributed a chapter to a book entitled, "After Alinsky: Community Organizing in Illinois." You can view it here. And Obama also taught workshops on the Alinsky method.
5. Let's not forget Obama's adult mentor for 20 years, Reverend Wright. As Reverend Wright himself has explained, the black liberation theology preached in Obama's church was largely derived from the liberation theology movement in El Salvador and Nicaragua, which was Marxist and aligned with the Sandinista movement.
6. Finally, there are William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, in whose home Obama's political career was launched. Ayers and Dohrn, of course, founded the radical group The Weathermen, whose founding document called for the establishment of a "white fighting force" to be allied with the "Black Liberation Movement" and other "anti-colonial" movements to achieve "the destruction of US imperialism and achieve a classless world: world communism."
Now, don't get me wrong. I am not claiming Obama is a full-blown communist, but if the American people truly understood his background, he wouldn't stand a chance. Too bad the media's in the tank for Obama.
Say... isn't there some more dirt they can dig up about Sarah Palin's children?
October 1 Update: I fixed the link for the Chicago Tribune article. Is something fishy going on here?

Obama-Smitten Media
Bearing in mind the ridiculously vicious media coverage of Palin, it is important to consider that Obama has far worse issues that the media simply refuses to cover:
1. Obama's personal mentor and role model Reverend Wright is an open racist, anti-Semite and America hater who gave Farrakhan a lifetime achievement award and visited Khaddafi in Libya in a show of support. Reverend Wright has been Obama's father figure for 20 years, married Obama, and baptized his children. Obama said he could no more distance himself from Reverend Wright than his own grandmother, but then proceeded to throw him under the bus 2 weeks later.
2. Obama has been long-time close friends with William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, the two founders of the domestic terrorist group the Weathermen. In addition to having sat on numerous boards together with Ayers (Woods Foundation, Annenberg Challenge), Obama launched his political career in a fundraiser in the home of Ayers and Dohrn. In September 2001 in an interview with the NY Times, Ayers admitted to bombing the Pentagon and said his only regret was that he didn't set more bombs. Ayers remains committed to bringing about a global communist revolution and gave a speech to Chavez in Venezuela saying exactly that in 2006.
3. Obama's political mentor is Tony Rezko, a convicted felon who helped Obama buy his house for half the price. Rezko is a Syrian national who rose to power in Chicago by working with the Nation of Islam. His connection with the NoI is based on a joint commitment to destroy Israel.
4. Obama is also close personal friends with Rashid Khalidi, a former spokesman for the PLO. Obama has said he routinely has Khalidi and his wife over for dinner and they discuss Middle East politics.
All this stuff about Palin's daughter's pregnancy and Palin's husband's DUI for 20 years ago is ridiculous. Obama himself was born to an unwed teenage mother (his mother was 18 and purportedly "married" to Barack Obama Sr., but since Obama Sr. was already married, the marriage was void) and Obama himself was a coke user 20 years ago. The media is so ridiculously in the bag for Obama that I want to puke.
