Keep it up McCain, Please.

McCain starts hitting on Ayers too.

And reminding us that Hillary thought Ayers was revelant, too.

And now he goes after ACORN.

Rachel Lucas has a background on just what ACORN the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now does and how heavilly they are involved in corruption and the Obama camp.

If we had a press that was acutally inquisitive and not mindlessly corrupt this would be news.

McCain has to make his case. The media won't do it for him. The American voter needs to be informed just what kind of a man Obama really is.

2005

Victor Davis Hanson notes somehting

Why in the world was Barack Obama still communicating on the phone or via email with Bill Ayers up until 2005 — when in 2001 Ayers gave widely publicized interviews claiming he had no regrets about the bombing, indeed regretted that he had not done enough, and did not necessarily have any remorse either about his Weathermen career?

Ponder that: the possible next President of the United States, well after 9/11 and in the climate of hourly worry over terrorism here at home, was still friendly and communicating with an associate that had to abandon his book tour due to popular outcry, and was widely quoted as absolutely unrepentant about his terrorism. That is a damning indictment of his judgement — among other things — and it is no "smear" to raise the issue.

Indeed, there is a disturbing pattern here. Obama's once-close radical Chicago associates are never jettisoned out of principle, but only at the 11th-hour when they became impediments to Obama's political career.

This is why the media, the dems and other Obama supporters are trying their hardest to keep a lid on all of this.

They want to drag Obama across the finish line and know that if the average voter is kept in the dark they'll be more likely to vote for Obama.

Think about that. They're depending on you staying ignorant. They want you to be complacent and not ask questions.

Finally

McCain hits back.

It may be too late, but the style is good. The theme "What has Obama done?" is a powerful one. As it has people look at Obama's past and record, and compare it to his speeches and current reactions.

The interesting part is how Obama responds to this. These are heavy charges being leveled against him. However, McCain has outlined Obama's traditional response IE distractions, race card, and generally not answering the questions.

If Obama responds in that way, then it underscores McCain's point.

Questioning Obama

Finnaly Palin digs into Obama.

"Tell them about the real Barack Obama"
Ace comments:

I'll tell you what: when I read that, I almost want to cry because it cuts right to the heart of how frustrating and maddening it is that this guy seems to be coasting to victory while most of the country knows nothing about how shady his background is, from the shoddiness of his record to the loathesomeness of his church to the sleaziness of his business associates.

More thoughts on why people are so... enamored with the One.

Here, after all, is a man who is a distillation of Jimmy Carter, George McGovern, and Bill "the bomber" Ayres. On taxes. On foreign policy. On free speech. On government entitlements. On all this and more Obama is the most left-wing candidate in the history of the Republic. And yet he is greeted with open arms not only by self-confessed revolutionaries like Bill Ayres but by Mom and Pop Democrat in a taxing district near you.
How do you explain it?
...
The liberal says: "We have sinned. We are guilty. Please absolve us of our wrong."
Team Obama says, "Sure, but it's going to cost you."

Mark R. Levin notes the scary double standard:

If John McCain had belonged to a church for 20 years and that church advocated white supremacy and the pastor of the church spewed racist propaganda wrapped in Biblical verses — much of which was caught on video-tape — what would we say? If McCain's good friends included people involved in blowing up abortion clinics instead of the Capitol Building, the Pentagon, and police stations, what would we say? If McCain was socially close to a professor with ties to neo-Nazi groups in Berlin, as opposed to a professor who had ties to the PLO, what would we say? If McCain spent his formative years schooled in fascism as opposed to Marxism, what would we say?

And here's 20 Questions you won't here the MSM ask about Obama.

They want to run out the clock, and keep Americans ignorant of what Obama has done.
Yuval Levin also notes it

Very soon after she was picked to be McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin was attacked by Obama campaign spokesmen and a Democratic member of Congress for once being seen wearing a Pat Buchanan button. She had an answer and the campaign offered it. Yet now we are asked to believe that it's somehow inappropriate to inquire why Barack Obama's political career began in the home of an admitted and unrepentant domestic terrorist of the radical left? "Who is Barack Obama?" is not an irrelevant question given the job Obama is seeking, and it's a question he has sought mightily to avoid answering. The veil of secrecy he has thrown over his past (journalists have been denied access to his state legislative office records, documents about state earmarks he distributed in Illinois, a list of his legal clients, his state bar application, billing records related to Tony Rezko, medical records, academic records—all of which are the sort of documents candidates routinely make public) forces the question all the more.

Is Obama mainstream?

Via Rand Simberg, Abe Greenwald looks at the Ayers thing from another angle

Even if Obama's preposterous new claim about not knowing who Bill Ayers was was true in 1995, was it true in 1997 when Obama, then state senator, endorsed Ayers's book? Had he not yet found out the identity of his buddy by 2000, when he took the position serving with Ayers on the board of the Woods Fund? Did no one slip him a note over the next two years reading, "Don't indicate that you're reading this note, but the guy next to you is a terrorist"? Frankly, if Obama didn't find out that Bill Ayers is a terrorist until it came up during the primary, then there's more to worry about than the candidate's political leanings.

That's the twisted part, the only honest defense Obama has is that he was a rube that didn't bother to look into the past of those he associated with, even merely to consider the political fallout.

It's like the guy doesn't expect anyone to ever question him. Though givne the media's preformance...

Things you can't question about Obama

Glen Reynolds notes something:

IF YOU CRITICIZE BARACK OBAMA OVER BILL AYERS, it's because you're a racist!

Well, of course. If you criticize Barack Obama over anything, it's because you're a racist. No doubt that'll hold true if he's elected President, too, which will call for strict anti-racism laws to keep such things under control . . . .

Anyone that's followed how the Obama camp handles critism would see a very worrying pattern.

And for fun add in the other totalitarian imagery and songs and thugishness.

Lovely.

Camp Obama

The Obama campaign is setting up special camps to teach people how to be agitators and such.

It's like this guy wants to be a totalitarian ruler.

Hmmm....

Bill Whittle: The Blob.

Whittle shows how our government bloats things and just how dangerous it is.

Laws are being passed that no one understands or has even read. That's scary.
