Obama, Ayers, and the Chicago Annenberg Challenge

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on September 23, 2008 at 9:55 am

The so-evil-he’s-been-targeted-by-the-Obama-campaign Stanley Kurtz has continued digging into Barack Obama’s relationship with unrepentant domestic terrorist and “neighbor” to Obama Bill Ayers and reports to you the information that the mainstream media aren’t interested in investigating. They’re too involved in interviewing disgruntled librarians in Wasilla in an attempt to get dirt on Gov. Palin to care about the radical ties of the Democrat nominee for president.

Ed Morrissey provides a useful summary here.

To say that Barack Obama has misled the American people on his association with Bill Ayers is being charitable. Ayers is clearly more than a guy who just lives down the street from Obama.

It’s interesting how the mediots are starting to complain about the ‘lack of access’ they supposedly have to Gov. Sarah Palin, yet they’ve had access to Barack Obama for two years now on the campaign trail, and yet here we are less than two months before the election and it’s an opinion writer who works for a conservative publication who fought to dig up the information that has been at the fingertips of the MSM all this time – yet they have refused to dive deeper in it. This is yet another example of the mainstream media’s dereliction of duty when it comes to Obama, and it’s downright shameful.

      The more we find out about BO, the more he stinks.

      After reading the snit by Ben Smith of “The Politico” last night, I left reminded that in this political season the 4th estate has done the American public a disservice.

      After the Iraq War started, the 4th estate spent months before they finally decided that maybe they were vigilant enough with their reporting running up to the war.

      In this election, the 4th estate repeats it’s error by falling into the same trap.

      Fool me once, shame on you
      Fool me twice, shame on me

      In this election, the 4th estate has actually allowed one of the candidates to write his own narrative, based on two auto-biographical books, that is full of holes for large time sequences.

      Today, with only 40 some days remaining till the election, a bit of one of those 4 year holes is filled in, but much is still left unknown.

      Will the 4th estate be comtemplating the navel for that time or will they begin to ask the questions that will give the American people a complete story ?

      Not only does the future of their craft stand in balance, the future of the country demands better.

      If they are not up to the challenge .. we will look elsewhere.

      Not just this political season Neo. In both 2000 and 2004 they wanted the Dem candidate and in 2004 did everything they could to hand that over to Kerry. Thankfully it didn’t work, as America would have had the stupidest President in our history, had their little “Coup de’ ta” worked. – Lorica

      Stop the ACLU commented on this a little while ago. You want to know what kind of federal education expenditures to expect from an Obama administration? Take a look at how he spent the CAC money.

      The projects Obama chose to fund were “ethnic identity” programs having nothing to do with education. For example, this project got money:

      The South Shore African Village Collaborative for their “Celebrate African-American Holiday of Juneteenth” (celebrating the Emancipation Proclamation). Some African-Americans celebrate Juneteenth instead of the Fourth of July

      Who else benefited from Obama’s handouts? According to this report, so did Jeremiah Wright’s anti-American church and the Arab American Action Network, an anti-Israel group.

      Guess whose requests for grants were rejected by Obama?

      *The Chicago Algebra Project: goal to increase student achievement

      *The District 5 Math Initiative: goal to aid Hispanic students in the process of learning English, to further learn math and science. (If I’m handling McCain’s ad campaign, my next Spanish language ad is already written – GWR)

      Because learning algebra, math, English, and science isn’t nearly as important to education as screaming racism and cursing America, you know.
