This to me means they are very affraid!!!!!!!!!!!!

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Barack Obama's allies warn that John McCain's attacks on the Democrat'a character will lead to the political equivalent of mutual assured destruction: fire your big weapon at your own peril.

Several Obama surrogates said his supporters may start reminding voters of McCain's ties to Charles Keating, a convicted savings and loan owner whose actions two decades ago triggered a Senate ethics investigation that involved McCain as one of the "Keating Five."

The warnings of massive retaliation came as McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, took on the role of attacker and said that Obama sees America as so imperfect "that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country." She was referring to an early Obama supporter, 1960s radical Bill Ayers, a founder of the Weather Underground whose members were blamed for several bombings when Obama was a child.

Here was the response form the McCain Campaign:

McCain camp responds to Obama in NC..
Please see our campaigns response to Barack Obamas event in Asheville, N.C.. Today, Barack Obama accused our campaign of running swift boat attacks for discussing in precise and truthful terms Barack Obamas relationship with William Ayers, an unrepentant co-founder of The Weather Underground which was a domestic terrorist organization that bombed American targets:

The last four weeks of this election will be about whether the American people are willing to turn our economy and national security over to Barack Obama, a man with little record, questionable judgment, and ties to radical figures like unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers. Americans need to ask themselves if they've ever befriended an unrepentant terrorist, or had a convicted felon help them buy their house -- because those aren't smears, those are true facts about Barack Obama. ---Tucker Bounds, spokesman McCain-Palin 2008

BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


enough of this BSing.......

Keating 5, Mccain was completely accquitted of!! and they are videos to this effect. ..

the BO camp is afraid!!! very afraid!!!!!!!!!!!!

no one believes the media anyways.. only FOX viewership is skyrocketing!!!!

[Horizon]

OOHHH!Quaking in my boots here!!!

Obama,if you're gonna run with the big dogs,learn to whizz in the tall grass!!!
All he has is empty threats.Like warning McCain is going to make his past disappear!!What a joke you are Barry!

[Lillie]

I believe McCain and Glen were cleared in the Keating scandal...?
Let O throw all the stones he wants.

[Mrs L]

OOHHH!Quaking in my boots here!!!

Obama,if you're gonna run with the big dogs,learn to whizz in the tall grass!!!
All he has is empty threats.Like warning McCain is going to make his past disappear!!What a joke you are Barry!

Obama has more to hide than anyone else so I hope the GOP keeps digging it up.

[freespirit]

Well, as long as McCain has been around, BO won't be able to find much new material to hit him with, but as we know, he's sure as hell not above fabricating some stuff. But, McCain does not need to allow the BO allies to intimidate him. I hope Mac keeps pouring it on, and tells BO - "Hit me with your best shot".

[Kbentleyis]

McCain went through to courts and Clark and he were found innocent of any charges. That's more than what BHO went through! Not many know about the Woods Foundation and the Chicago Annenberg Challenge! The millions squanderd on an education program that went nowhere. Money that was given to Auchi, Palistinian support.

I say, let it fly!

[abigailadams]

I am not sure the Keating Five attack will stick too much.

From Wikipedia:

"After being investigated and largely exonerated in a political influence scandal of the 1980s as a member of the "Keating Five," he made campaign finance reform one of his signature concerns, which eventually led to the passage of the McCain-Feingold Act in 2002. "

He can now throw bak at Obama the Public Financing Flip Flop and Fannie Mae.

Bring it on!

[HumbleDave]

Obama has the most to lose at this point.

[RachachaSharon]

Ayers isn't even the tip of the iceberg of what's out there on you, BO. Bring it on, man. Bring. It. On.

[eviee]

Bring it on Obama. Nothing is off the table, including LARRY SINCLAIR

[foxyladi]

OOHHH!Quaking in my boots here!!!

[LucyTN]

As long as they check and recheck for accuracy, I see no problem with mentioning all of Obama's unsavory associates and underhanded dealings. Sometimes the truth hurts, but so be it.

[SantaCruzen]

Remind the BO Thugs:
This Is Not Then
This Is Now

[Tague]

This was on Hillbuzz yesterday about this

http://hillbuzz.wordpress.com/

According to ABC’s Jack Tapper, McCain will spend the next two weeks hitting SoetorObama’s slimey associations with Tony Rezko, William Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, James Meeks, Emile Jones, and others.

We think that’s only half the story.

People in Chicago insist “that’s not enough, people have already heard about all this”, and that’s partly true. We in Chicago have been hearing about these characters for years, but the MSM has protected SoetorObama from the full brunt of any of these connections — when some of this came up during the primaies against Hillary Clinton, the Kool-Aid was more potent, and the public’s attention to all of this was nil. Also, Clinton could never drive any of this home, her hands tied by the party, and she personally wary of annihilating SoetorObama and risk alienating his followers (whom she would need to win). McCain has no such constraints.

But the timinig on all of this is off. Just think about it.

We have 4 weeks until the election. Hitting hard on SoetorObama’s associations now, as Tapper suggests, gives SoetorObama time to recover before the election — which is a bad move on McCain’s part.

That means there has to be another punch coming after this, one that will take us through the last two weeks of the campaign, right up until election day.

First comes two weeks of pounding SoetorObama on every anti-American or corrupt connection he has, highlighting every criminal, terrorist, or dirty Chicago political figure he’s ever been in bed with (metaphorically, if they don’t want to go there literally).

Then, the closing punches will paint SoetorObama as anti-American himself — we believe this will involved SoetorObama’s remarks while campaigning for his cousin Odinga in Kenya in 2006, his anti-Israel remarks to Palestinians in Chicago in 1999, and his wife Michelle’s rantings and ravings against the Clinton Administration in 2004 (where she accused the former president of killing millions of black people in Africa, either by not stopping tribal bloodshed or by the Clinton Foundation handing out a bad AIDS vaccine (both of which are more crazy conspiracies straight out of Jeremiah Wright’s den of delusion)).

SoetorObama supporters here in Chicago talk about these “three punches” that are coming their way — and the counter to them, we’ve been told, is SoetorObama accusing McCain of beating his first wife Carol (the same tactic SoetorObama used against Blair Hull in 2004 — just accuse your opponent of wife-beating, whether it is true or not).

That’s what we think will happen: systematically tying SoetorObama to Anti-American associates, then making voters see him as Anti-American himself.

We also believe a third sword of Damocles hovers - in the form of Republican brilliance, something we’ve never thought of, in our two years of following SoetorObama. Something that has nothing to do with Wright, Michelle, Ayers, Rezko, or anyone we’re familiar with. A true October surprise, even to us, that - if it is planned - will hit about 14 days before the election. We saw in 2004 and 2000 that anything dropped the last week of the election has minimal effect on the outcome — it’s not enough time to take root. So, the Republicans would drop their last surprise two weeks out to own the news cycle in that final stretch.

So, Eeyores, keep all this in mind. The MSM will work hard for SoetorObama, as they’ve invested everythnig in him, including all of their credibility. They are doing everything possible to keep him aloft, as Team McCain does all it can to add lead to his sagging balloon. That’s the dynamic we’re in.

We believe that Hindenburg crashes on November 4th — and something tells us it will be SoetorObama’s own words (or Michelle’s), that brings that sucker down.

[Horizon]

I really wish she would quit calling us Eeyores.I find it a little demeaning.

The terrorists, the thugs, kiddie camps, Wright, Fledger, Fannie Mae, Freddy Mac and all the crack with Sinclair needs to come out!

McCain needs to nip this Keating 5 thing in the bud. My brother brought this up in an argument and I reminded him that McCain was acquitted.

The internet is a virtual crap hole of dead information that gets people all up in arms...the Keating 5 is in Wikipedia and mentions that McCain was acquitted. The campaign needs to make sure that they have retaliation ready.

You're so right about the skeletons. You know, I was against Bush in 2000, but wouldn't you agree that Bush, with all his flaws and problems, at least you know who he hangs out with, and where he's from, and what his parents stood for. And, I don't think Karl Rove is as scary as Bill Ayers. Call me crazy ...

Obama just has this weird cloud ... His father was a Kenyan communist. His mother didn't really seem to like living in America, much. We've never heard word one from Obama's grandmother (she's being kept in seclusion).

And then there are all these radical associations with people who either hate America or are corrupt.

Am I just seeing things in such a biased way??? I honestly don't know how people cannot just RUN from Obama.

Obama's mother was dipping into the marxist theology herself. Read about her high school days at Mercer Island High School in Washington. Her rebellion against tradition namely marriage and her statement in Indonesia about American businessmen not being her people. (That one is in Obama's first book) I say McCain has always been a fighter for what he believes in and that has not always been popular with the GOP but he is a what you see is what you get guy ,unlke the revolving and sneeky Obama. So it's the fighter pilot turned statesman against the corrupt politician with unsavory associates.

The BO campaign, with his full knowledge and consent, has lied, bullied, cheated all the way through his political elections and is doing so again. It is up to We the People to expose this dangerous, corrupt, anti-American these last four weeks and work harder than ever before to elect John and Sarah.

Please go to johnmccain.com and donate to the McCain Palin Compliance Fund, which is used to guarantee free and fair elections. We can still donate to it--a lot. It is different from the public funds McCain has accepted for actually running for office. The McCain Palin Compliance Fund is used for legal matters. PLEASE donate!

In Obama's world, "facts" = "smears".

No no. Facts are facts.

And the GOP needs to start stating more such facts about Obama & not be scared off by this pathetic threat by the Obama camp.

There is no backing off or backing down. It is time to go full guns blazing after this lying piece of Chicago rubbish. No more intimidation, no more cultish BS under the radar. It's time to smack these would-be bullies DIRECTLY in their metaphorical cheating mouths and let the American electorate know exactly how dirty and despicable these losers are.

The safety is off. It's on now, full-out. They wanted this political war, and now it's time for "honorable campaign" McCain to join the battle all the way.

If we're going down, we're going down swinging. It's time to vet Barack Hussein Obama for the electorate, all the way.

This should be an ad saturating the Media. And it should also counter Obama's absurd assertion that because he was a child at the time Ayers bombed the White House, etc it doesn't matter. It DOES matter because Obama sought Ayers and Dohrn out to learn Alinsky's methods--so they're his freinds, mentors, and business associates.... that matters to me!

[HillaryVsPalin2012]

This was on Hillbuzz yesterday about this

http://hillbuzz.wordpress.com/

Very interesting... thanks for posting it.

I'm gonna guess that they are also going to do a HUGE "typical white people" / "bitter gun owners" campaign ad push during the second phase. These two quotes are pure gold, and it's just too weird they've let that issue die altogether.

Who can actually guess the third phase...?

[JJ4Hillary]

NOW I WANT THE WHITEY TAPE! WEEHEEEEEEEEEEEhttp://i33.tinypic.com/23sdrbs.gif

[Starlight]

Hit Obama on Ayers. Hit Obama on Rezko. Hit Obama on Wright. Hit him on his comments about meeting with terrorists. Just keep hitting him. I'd bet that over half the country did not hear all of this when it originally hit the news. Now is the time they need to be educated!

If Obama wants to counter with the Keating Five let him. McCain was cleared by a Democrat committee. It was determined he broke no laws or rules. Just a mistake in judgement on his part.

Oh yeah, let's not forget Obama's praise for the Detroit mayor Kilpatrick who is now sitting in jail.

You're absolutely right.

The time is now. There is no other. All cards need to be put on the table.

And if the Republicans have dug up any new cards that need to be played, they need to play them.

This isn't the time to be nice. The future of this country, as we now know it, is at stake.

Many of us have sent the MSM information on BO that was suppressed or outright ignored. They would rather run articles on how Sarah Palin's youngest child isn't really hers than print anything about Obama's associations with Ayers or Rezko.

The scary thing is, it really is up to us. And many of us are running on instinct alone. There isn't an instruction book for this kind of thing, and we do the best we can as we go along.

[SugnSpicesmom]

I really wish she would quit calling us Eeyores.I find it a little demeaning.

Mary, I agree with you. It's insulting. Just because people are feeling a bit down or because they have doubts is no reason to insult them by calling them Eeyores. We can all try to stay positive and upbeat but sometimes the whole cycle of crap from the media, etc. can bring you down.

And by the way, who the hell made them the authority on this stuff anyway?

[AdrienneJ]

Oh yeah, the Keating5 is just terrifying!

Let's see.. a verbal reprimand which was questionable to begin with as opposed to lying about the relationship with an unrepentant terrorist.

Yeah, okay... Get 'em Sarah!

I think the name drop "Keating 5" conjures something sinnister in minds that do not have a clue about what transpired. We need to come up with a name or buzz word for Rezko or another associate of Obamas.

They are playing a game of chicken. Obama knows what may be comiing. Obama's playing a game of good offense is a good defense. Let er rip, McCain.

Uh, somehow I don't believe Big John is terribly concerned. This is the guy, afterall, that is willing to play the game of chicken in an air force fighter jet if it means one less bad guy against his country. I really don't think effete BO's "big guns" are going to bother him one bit.

Perhaps he doesn't need Wright. Perhaps he has better people then Wright. Wright is not necessary a winner. That was a long time ago. They may need more then him. I actually think Ayers the terriorist is better then Wright. Wright is played out.

[Ron4Hill]

I have some questions, below, but one little item that the media never mentions is Obama's Global Poverty Tax. What about that little gem? Why won't anyone discuss it? All it would do is send a TRILLION DOLLARS to the UN over the next 12 years in addition to the foreign aid we're already giving. The US would have no say over how the money is used, where it goes, etc.

Now, a few questions:

What were Barack's college years like? Who were his friends? What did he study? What were his grades like? What papers did he write? What was he interested in? Did he belong to any organizations? Why won't he release any information about his New York years?

When and where did Barack meet William Ayers? Rashid Khalidi? Edward Said?

What did Barack do as a community organizer? Who paid his salary?

What did Obama and Ayers do with the $160 million they had to work with at the Woods Fund? They were supposed to improve education in Chicago public schools but they accomplished nothing. Where did the money go?

What did he accomplish in the Illinois state senate? What did he do for his constituents? What about Exelon? What about the Maytag situation?

Why did Obama belong to a church that preached hatred of white America and Israel? Just because of Michelle? For local political gain?

Why did Obama support the Palestinians and then suddenly turn pro-Israel and adopt the AIPAC line when he ran for the US Senate? Political opportunism?

What church does Obama belong to now? Any?

Why does Obama want to be president? What are his qualifications? Does he have a hidden agenda? Maybe we should take a good look at his advisors.

What has Obama ever done for his community, his constituents? What has he ever done for his country? He wrote two autobiographies, gave a speech, and had the road paved for him by others to get where he is today. What would make anyone believe Obama would bring about any changes this country wants or needs?

Why won't Obama release his medical records as John McCain has?

What about that little deal with Rezko and Nahdmi Auchi involving a little power plant in Iraq?

What the national press should ask Barack Obama about his former pastor.

[Jen the Michigander]

Mary, I agree with you. It's insulting. Just because people are feeling a bit down or because they have doubts is no reason to insult them by calling them Eeyores. We can all try to stay positive and upbeat but sometimes the whole cycle of crap from the media, etc. can bring you down.

After everything we went through for Hillary, and especially after what happened in Denver, it's VERY hard (for me at least) to turn around and adopt a Pollyanna attitude at this point. Yes, I am glad that Obama's skeletons are finally being dragged out of the closet, but I can't really feel anything beyond cautious optimism at best.

[NSTYLE77]

I think Bush Gave Obama a Pass and That is Half Our Problem!

Yeah, if Bush wasn't such a screw up McCain would not be having a difficult time right now! McCain probably hates Bush more than ever.:mad:

[NSTYLE77]

Perhaps he doesn't need Wright. Perhaps he has better people then Wright. Wright is not necessary a winner. That was a long time ago. They may need more then him. I actually think Ayers the terriorist is better then Wright. Wright is played out.

Wright is played out with the people that paid attention during the primaries. Believe it or not a lot of America is just now tuning in and they have never even heard of Wright!

[Strongwomenrock]

Yeah, what about the fact tht the people in his district couldn't even [I]hope[I]for heat in the Resko owned slums BO helped get federal funds to buy and fix up, which never happened? People need to wake up and look at this man's invisible track record.

[SantaCruzen]

I have some questions, below, but one little item that the media never mentions is Obama's Global Poverty Tax. What about that little gem? Why won't anyone discuss it? All it would do is send a TRILLION DOLLARS to the UN over the next 12 years in addition to the foreign aid we're already giving. The US would have no say over how the money is used, where it goes, etc.

Now, a few questions:

What were Barack's college years like? Who were his friends? What did he study? What were his grades like? What papers did he write? What was he interested in? Did he belong to any organizations? Why won't he release any information about his New York years?

What the national press should ask Barack Obama about his former pastor.



Ayers came from a Wealthy Elite family. Who Owns Him?
Auchi owns Rezko. Rezko used to own Obama. Who owns Obama Now?

[lynfreedom]

problem is they will do ads that will look bad, tying that to the same problem we have these days that lead to bailouts...

[G4Hillary]

This just shows how scared the Obama camp is about Ayers.

Obama needs to get taste of his own medicine. Sarah Palin needs to keep bringing up Obama's terrorist connections.

[xfiles]

Does this mean if they respond in kind (the Obama surrogates, etc.) that the accusations about Obama are true?

That would be the only reason to respond in kind I would think!

This to me means they are very affraid!!!!!!!!!!!!



Here was the response form the McCain Campaign:

Write to the media, etc. and ask about the Global Poverty Tax. Link in stickies.

Auchi owns Rezko. Rezko used to own Obama. Who owns Obama Now?

[G4Hillary]

They were talking about this guy a lot on the radio today:
Nadhmi Auchi

In recent years he has entered into several partnerships with Chicago-area businessman Tony Rezko, effectively coming to his rescue as his various investment schemes began collapsing. Auchi bought about 15 of Rezko's pizzerias in Wisconsin, according to court records.[5] In 2005 he took a stake in Rezko's South Loop development at Roosevelt Road and Clark Street, a deal estimated by observers familiar with the details at $170 million.[2]

In 2008 Stuart Levine, the U.S. government's star witness in the corruption trial against Rezko, asserted that Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, were among the guests at party in Auchi's honor that took place at Rezko's residence on 3 April 2004.[5] While Obama has acknowledged his ties to Rezko, a spokesman said that the senator responded that "Sen. Obama does not recall meeting Nadhmi Auchi at any time or on any occasion, and this includes any event that may have been held for Mr. Auchi."[5]

In 2008 The Times of London reported the discovery of state documents in Illinois recording that a Panamanian company by the name of Fintrade Services lent money to a funderaiser for Obama in 2005. Fintrade’s directors included Ibtisam Auchi, the name of Mr Auchi’s wife. Spokespeople declined to answer when questioned about whether he was linked to this business.[6]

The Times also reported that Auchi's company loaned Tony Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Rezko's lot and Obama's new home were purchased in 2005.

[G4Hillary]

I think the name drop "Keating 5" conjures something sinnister in minds that do not have a clue about what transpired. We need to come up with a name or buzz word for Rezko or another associate of Obamas.
Use what Hillary said in the debates.

I forgot how she classified Ayers, but she called Rezko his "slum lord friend"

[G4Hillary]

Perhaps he doesn't need Wright. Perhaps he has better people then Wright. Wright is not necessary a winner. That was a long time ago. They may need more then him. I actually think Ayers the terriorist is better then Wright. Wright is played out.
I think the Ayers-Wright combo is magic. Use the Wright tapes and site the Ayers terrorist story and bingo, you have a solid theme.

Sprinkle some of the other associates like Rezko, Auchi, Khalidi, and you have a delightful treat.

[Joe from WI]

right on Mccain/Palin.

The TRUTH is truth. Theres NOTHING to lose for us all. However the elections turn out, we dont want to give BO the free pass into the WH -- he doesnt deserve it.
