McCain, Palin need to hit Obama harder

Finally, with just three weeks left until the election, Sarah Palin pointed out the obvious: that Barack Obama pals around with terrorists, who hate this country.

She was referring to Bill Ayres, the Weatherman founder, who was acquitted of terrorism charges back in the 1960s, although his wife Bernadine Dorn, did time for terrorism and attempted murder. Ayres and Obama did one of his "community organizing" gigs together, involving millions of federal dollars and private foundation money. Obama took over $150.000 out of the program for personal expenses. Ayres and Dorn are his neighbors in Chicago, and hosted campaign events for his Senate race.

Ayres and Obama were both on the faculty of the University of Chicago, where they became friends. Ayres has written a radical book excoriating the U.S. education system, preferring a system more similar to Israeli kabutzes, where its easier to indoctrinate children in his far-left dogma. Ayres has no business being close to a U.S. President, since he hates this country and what it stands for, and has only regretted not going far enough in trying to bring the government down in the 1960s.

This is far from the only evil relationship Obama has maintained. The big financier of his Chicago campaigns was convicted felon Tony Rezko, as well as the one who financed the mansion purchase Barack and Michelle live in. Much more needs to be said about his pastor, Jeremiah Wright and his extremist, pro-Muslim views and their friendship with Louis Farrakhan and other Muslims. More needs to come out about Obama's early Muslim education, and the extremist views of his late father, carried on today by his half brother and sister.

Fortunately, the same people who were behind the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth in the Kerry campaign four years ago, are starting to crank up the commercials and campaign to bring out the truth about Obama. Books by David Federoso and others have been predictably buried by the mainstream media--but the truth is slowly leaking out.

It is completely appropriate for McCain and Palin to acknowledge the facts--and expect the mass media to blast them for doing so. Actually, they are doing the job the mainstream media refuses to do, which has given Obama almost a complete pass on his early life.
