The Washington DC examiner editorializes on O’bama’s reaction to the recent ad run by The American Issues Project (main contributor the same as the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth). Interestingly enough, apparently FOX and CNN have refused to run the ad.
Here’s the controversial text…
Here’s the key portion of the ad’s text: “Barack Obama is friends with Ayers, defending him as, quote, ‘Respectable’ and ‘Mainstream.’ Obama’s political career was launched in Ayers’ home. And the two served together on a left-wing board. Why would Barack Obama be friends with someone who bombed the Capitol and is proud of it? Do you know enough to elect Barack Obama?”
and the Obama campaign reaction…
The Obama campaign describes the ad as “false, despicable and outrageous,” according to The Associated Press. If the ad is false, the Obama campaign should have no trouble refuting it, which would likely be sufficient to persuade stations to decline the ad. Yet we’ve seen no such refutation.
Obama sounds like typical Boulder liberals that are very open minded until you disagree with them. Can’t wait for the Daily Camera editorial pages “opinion”.
