I'm so sick of ugly politics.My email in flooded with reports on the Ayers/ Obama connection. I can't believe people are falling for the sleaze! People are out there at rallies calling him a terrorist and saying Bomb Obama- Take of his head. They are afraid of him.
PEOPLE? For God's sake READ! Don't just listen to smear radio.
McCain is out there inferring that Obama is a terrorist. This is dishonest politics to say the least. I want honest men in office, and McCain is not honest but a malicious, manipulator of the truth. Sound familiar? Americans have the last 8 years of this kind of politis. ENUF!
Obama sat on a board funded by Republican William Annenburg's wife. It was aimed at reforming education in Chicago.
If you did, you would know that Chicago Annenberg Challenge was started with a $49 million grant from the Annenberg Foundation, which was established by the publisher, Walter Annenberg, a prominent Republican. His widow, Lenore, is a contributor to the McCain campaign as is also one of the Board members who was in the Nixon administration, and was supported by a Republican governer! Can you imagine a nasty "radical education foundation" paid for and supported by Republicans! Perhaps, Obama should investigate the contributions received by McCain from Lenore Annenberg.
Talking about quilt by association There is a report that Palin was a member of Alaskan Independence party. I stress the word independence comared to independent. This is party that wants to secede from the US.
I checked it out.
Palin was never a member of the Alaskan Independence Party – which calls for a vote on whether Alaska should secede from the union or remain a state – despite mistaken reports to the contrary. But her husband was a member for years, and she attended at least one party convention, as mayor of the town in which it was held.
Wikipedia on Joe Vogler. The founder of this party quoted.
The Alaskan Independence Party quotes Vogler as stating "I'm an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America or her damned institutions."[1] [2]
In a 1991 interview currently housed at the Oral History Program in the Rasmuson Library at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, Vogler is recorded as saying "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government. And I won't be buried under their damn flag. I'll be buried in Dawson. And when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home." [3]
