McCain hits Obama’s ties to Bill Ayers on ABC This Week
John McCain brought up Barack Obama’s “friendly” relationship with unrepentant terrorist William Ayers on today’s edition of This Week with George Stephanopolous.
“He became friends with him and spent time with him while the guy was unrepentant over his activities as a member of a terrorist organization, the Weathermen,” said the Arizona senator.
“Does he condemn them? Would he condemn someone who that says they’re unrepentant and wished that they had bombed more?”
Finally, McCain has begun to bring up this potentially campaign-ending revelation that has mostly gotten play on Fox News’ Hannity and Colmes. While the mainstream media reported on the story for a few days, other stories about Obama’s questionable friends have gotten more attention. (See Reverend Jeremiah Wright.) When you combine the fact that Obama has refused to wear a flag lapel pin, with his wife’s disdain for America and the Bill Ayers ties, Obama could be facing a big problem when it comes to patriotism.
As news reports indicate, John McCain is planning to hit Obama hard on this topic in the general election. And well he should.
