McCain Prepares Rezko Ad; Wright "Now Fair Game"; GOP 527 Attacks
The American Issues Project today announced the debut of a new television advertising campaign examining the relationship between Sen. Barack Obama and unrepentant 1960's domestic terrorist, William Ayers. The ad -- entitled "Know Enough?" -- begins with a simple, yet pointed question: "Beyond the speeches, how much do you really know about Barack Obama?"
Supported by over one hundred pages of back-up documentation and historical accounts, the American Issues Project is using this ad to shed light on Obama's friendship with Ayers, the former leader of an American terrorist group known as Weather Underground.
McCain Prepares Rezko Ad; Wright "Now Fair Game"; GOP 527 Attacks
Sen. John McCain's campaign is finishing a hard-hitting television ad highlighting Barack Obama 's ties to shady Chicago land dealer Tony Rezko, the one-time Obama patron who was convicted earlier this summer of fraud.
A campaign official said that the decision to Go Rezko was Obama's. "He's opened the door to this," the official said.
The ad will be released to network news divisions in time for their broadcasts tonight.
Though McCain is widely perceived to to drawn first blood by attacking Obama's character, the official said that the difference between Obama's mocking McCain for his wealth and his shaky answer on the number of homes he owns was that McCain's charge "reflects an existential reality," where Obama's charges "attack Cindy. She owns the homes. I thought he said the wives were off-limits."
McCain strategists hope that Obama's brass knuckles punch doesn't work. "Americans don't like this class warfare stuff," the official said. They aspire to be rich, the official said. They don't aspire to eat arugala or hang out with celebrities.
Earlier in the news cycle, McCain's press team invoked Obama's friendship with a former member of the Weatherman, William Ayres, and an official said that even Obama's former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, "is now fair game." The official declined to say whether the campaign was contemplating running an advertisement linking Obama to Wright.
McCain also released a second web video mocking Obama as "The One."
A group called the American Issues Project said it launched a 2.8 million television ad buy highlighting Obama's ties to Ayres. The group calls itself "an organization representing a coalition of activists committed to raising conservative issues both during and after the election."
It includes longtime Republican activists like Ed Failor, Jr. of Iowa. Failor was a McCain adviser in the state. The ad will air in Ohio and Michigan.
Here's the script:
Narrator:"Beyond the speeches, how much do you know about Barack Obama?
What does he really believe?Consider this:
United 93 never hit the Capitol on 9/11.
But the Capitol was bombed thirty years before -
By an American terrorist group called Weather Underground that declared 'war' on the U.S. -Targeting the Capitol, the Pentagon, police stations and more.
One of the group's leaders, William Ayers, admits to the bombings, proudly saying later:
'We didn't do enough.'
Some members of the group Ayers founded even went on to kill police.But 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?
American Issues Project is responsible for the content of this ad."

Wild Thing's comment............
John and Cindy McCain could own 1000 homes, so what? I could care less. There’s no showing he got any of them illegally or as a result of shady political deals.
McCain’s people aren’t playing softball. He clearly has an expert team. I hope that 527 really hits Obama with Wright again. He spent 20 years in that church and you better believe if McCain was caught dead being a member of a church pushing White supremacy he’d be dead meat. Black Liberation theology is racism pure and simple.
Obama has been going ballistic because HE got caught in a lie when he said he didn't vote for killing innocent babies after they had been aborted and might still be alive. He brought up the houses the McCain's own to try and get the press off his butt so Obama by doing that he is the one that opened the gate.
So a question for Obama, since you attacked Cindy McCain, does this mean that "Michelle Angry Mabelle" is now fair game too??? Just curious.
It's the mid 1970s and the Weather Underground Organization (WUO), a radical (and violent) offshoot of the Students for a Democratic Society.
Documentary/interviews with the Weatherman Underground while they were on the run for bombings and deaths.
UPDATE on information: For the Democrats that lurk and read this blog. ........
According to this John McCain himself dows not own any of the properties.
McCain family owns 8 properties
John McCain's family owns at least eight properties — not the seven Democrats are alleging.
Sen. McCain himself does not own any of the properties. They're all owned by Cindy McCain, her dependent children and the trusts and companies they control.
Brian Rogers, a McCain spokesman, did not question Politico's analysis, but said his boss's bungling of the how-many-homes question is a nonissue.
"Voters care a lot more about candidates' personal ethics than about how many houses or residences or doghouses that John and Cindy McCain own," he said. He questioned efforts by McCain's Democratic rival, Barack Obama, to exploit the issue, given that Obama benefited from a 2005 land deal with the wife of convicted Chicago businessman — and former Obama fundraiser — Tony Rezko that expanded the Obama family's newly purchased $1.65 million homestead.
"The reality is that Barack Obama purchased his million-dollar mansion in a shady deal involving a convicted felon, and it raises questions about his ethics and judgment," said Rogers.

Barack Hussein Obama and his staff have cracked under the pressure of the truth coming out about him that they are now wildly launching desperate ads and attacks on John McCain. What they have actually have done is opened the Pandora's box of Hell for Obama. The Ayers story is hot and now a family disgrace.
Barack Hussein Obama attacks McCain not knowing how many homes that he owns ignoring the financial separation between McCain and his wife. This attack occurs when it comes out that Barack Hussein Obama's half-brother, George Hussein Onyango Obama, lives in Kenya on less than $1 per month in a 6 x 10 ft. hut without toilet facilities.

Sean Hannity today felt sorry for George because it seems Barack couldn't or wouldn't help him out that he offered to send George $1000. His staff called Obama headquarters to get an address to send it too and they didn't have it. Hannity also suggested that maybe Rezko could help George get a home.
As they say in the Olympics, "Let the games begin."

There's a lot of truth in the adage of people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
The American Thinker has this about Obama, with the Eurostan objectives of Soros just think about how obtuse he really is.

At least the McCains got their homes the legal way! Obamanation opened up the proverbial can of worms by telling everyone how McCain didn't know what he was up against, so put your seatbelt on, Obamanation, it's going to be a very bumpy ride from now on.

Boise Medal of Honor recipient passes away
03:23 PM MDT on Wednesday, August 20, 2008
Maj. Ed Freeman died at a Boise hospital Wednesday. He was 80 years old.
His exploits in the Ia Drang Valley in Vietnam were featured in a book and on film, and for his heroism, he was awarded the nation's higest honor.
This morning, Major Ed Freeman, known as "Too Tall," passed away at St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise. He was 80 years old.
Freeman's youngest son, Doug Freeman, says his father died from health complications due to Parkinson's Disease.
Freeman was a helicopter pilot, who flew multiple missions under heavy enemy fire to re-supply the 7th Cavalry in the Ia Drang Valley, and evacuate wounded troopers.
The 1965 battle was the subject of the book "We Were Soldiers Once, and Young" by Lt. Gen. Hal Moore, and the Mel Gibson movie adaptation "We Were Soldiers."
Freeman was awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroism during the Vietnam War by President George W. Bush in July of 2001.
Lt. Col. Tim Marsano, with the Idaho National Guard, says funeral services have been scheduled for Saturday. Freeman will then be buried at the Idaho Veterans Cemetery in Boise

Tincan Sailor, WOW thank you so much for sharing about this Hero, Maj. Ed Freeman.
I have that book and have read it also the movie as well.
My prayers for his loved ones, this is sad. I hate to see any of the good guys pass away. I know we all do one day but I still wish our Heroes could just live forever. Maj. Ed Freeman will live forever in our memories of him and what he has done for our country.
Thank you so much Tincan.
