I am so visibly angry right now...

This would be an appropriate theme for this thread

[G. Keenan]

Can anyone point out what's not true in the mailer? Because I'd really like to know. God forbid anyone say anything bad about the "Chosen One".

It's not about being not true. It's about twisting the truth around to stir up fear in people.

Seriously, do you think Obama has any intentions of supporting domestic or foreign terrorism? If not, then who the frig cares about his associations with Ayers.

Exactly. This whole thread is about drawing false conclusions. What the mailer said is true, Obama had those interactions with Ayers. Does that mean Obama is a terrorist? That's what the mailer implies.

It's like saying that because of his friendship with Charles Keating, of the savings and loan debacle, that John McCain is going to commit bank fraud. It doesn't make any sense. It's just fearmongering.

Let the visible anger continue...

Woman Attacked At ATM, Assailant Carves Letter Into Her Face

I've got another one that's just as relevant to a political discussion.

I don't think Obama is a terrorist,never had,never will. This whole thing is more about poor choices in who he has ties with. If a man with political aspirations doesn't have the common sense to not be seen with people like William Ayers,Tony Rezko and Allison Davis then he isn't as smart as everyone thinks he is. What kind of questionable people is he going to bring into the White House and then claim he didn't know.

Probably all different kinds. Terrorists, rapists, probably some cannibals and car thieves also.

I honestly don't know anything about Ayers or his connection with Obama.

I do know that the direct mail flyer does it best to scare me. It almost even looks like they've darkened Obama's skin a little. I don't like the tactic, I don't like the tone and I don't like people trying to scare me.

Flip through your brochure there doc, I'm sure they discuss that he is a distinguished professor of Education at the University of Illinois/Chicago and a very active with the city gov't in Chicago with reforming the public school system. I'm also sure your brochure will have a piece in there about how he was one of three co-authors of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge grant proposal that in 1995 won $49.2 million over five years for public school reform. And, dig a little further and I'll bet you find that in 1997 Chicago awarded him its Citizen of the Year award for his work on the project. And don't forget the Woods Fund, an anti-poverty and philanthropic foundation established as the Woods Charitable Fund in 1941 where he sits on the board. In fact, Obama sat on that very same board with him. (cue terrorist music...)

So I think you just need to read your literature a little more there doc, I'm sure they pointed all of this out.

Heaven forbid someone can change and do some good in this world.

I think that gets funnier every time I read it.

[Hudler]

Let me put it this way....if McCain had ties to a scum bag like Ayers I would be just as worried about it and a lot of people on here would be braking their necks to bring it up. I'm actually amazed at what people will ignore when it's their guy doing the stupid stuff.
