Conservatives land a punch with Obama-Ayers ad
As the Associated Press reports, the Obama campaign is trying to threaten the television stations that are running the Obama/Ayers ad put out by the American Issues Project. The ad educates voters about the relationship between Senator Obama and his terrorist friend William Ayers, who set off bombs at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol building.
Obama’s target is an ad by the conservative American Issues Project, a nonprofit group that questions Obama’s ties to Ayers, a founder of the Weather Underground organization that took credit for a series of bombings, including nonfatal explosions at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol four decades ago.
The ad has opened a gash on the Obama campaign’s forehead, and conservatives need to continue to go after the Ayers connection. Ayers was a radical left-wing terrorist who declared war on the United States and as late as 2001 said that he “should have done more.” Why did Ayers host a fundraiser at his Chicago home for Senator Obama? How close where the two men? How does this reflect on Obama’s character and judgment?
My colleague Francisco Gonzalez looks at the Obama/Ayers connection in our book, Who is the REAL Barack Obama?. You can also read this great report from the Capital Research Center.
