Dickerson is a liar

Here is what Dickerson wrote:

When asked about Ayers in a debate, he said he was "a guy who lives in my neighborhood." This is true, but misleadingly so and has a whiff of the big weasel. The two men served together on the board of an anti-poverty group, and Ayers contributed $200 to Obama's re-election campaign for the Illinois state senate in 2001.

Actually, Obama said more than that and it is Dickerson's weasel parsing of the debate transcript that is merely techincally true, but utterly misleading (in others words, a lie). Here is the full quote:

George, but this is an example of what I'm talking about. This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who's a professor of English in Chicago who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.

And the notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values doesn't make much sense, George.

This was in a debate with Hillary Clinton, who immediately responded by noting that Obama and Ayers were on a board of a nonprofit, the Woods Fund, together.

Obama replied by stating: Look, I'm going to have to respond to this just really quickly, but by Senator Clinton's own vetting standards, I don't think she would make it, since President Clinton pardoned or commuted the sentences of two members of the Weather Underground, which I think is a slightly more significant act...

Let me state emphatically: John Dickerson is a liar. A fucking liar. A god damn fucking liar.

Obama admitted far more than Ayers merely being a person in his neighborhood. He admitted knowing Ayers and, when pressed by Clinton, noted, in not so many words, that being on the board of directors with someone is not as damning as aquitting convicted terrorists. This was more than half a year ago.

Let me repeat one more time: John Dickson is a liar. A fucking liar. A god damn fucking liar.

It has been public knowledge, and Obama has not denied it, since, at least , April 16, 2008, that Obama served on a board of a non-profit with Bill Ayers. Anyone who says otherwise, whether McCain, Palin, or the likes of Dickerson, is a fucking god damn liar. The simple truth is out there and all one needs to do is read the transcript of the debate.

Very good destruction of Dickerson's nonsense.

I love the use of the *dun* *dun* *duuuun* 200 dollar donation. I guess I'm five times closer to Obama than Ayes at this point!

Really, you are five times closer to Obama than Ayers? Do you really think that most of us will accept that bu***t analogy?

Or are you trying to say that you were also a domestic terrorist who killed Americans?

It is really tragic how many people just excuse everything to see their projected dreams come true. The problem for these morons is that they are being taken advantage of. They are just being fooled to make the ambitious dreams of an inescropolous man come true.

Domestic terrorist who killed Americans? Who the hell are you talking about?
It's nice to know that

Obamabots may stop utterly denying the Ayers/Obama connection now that Fox News is shamming ABC, CBS, and NBC and little e-zines like Slate to BEGIN telling the truth about Obama.

Only 24 more days to go and look what Fox managed to get a pro-Obama media source like Slate to admit about Obama in just five days time.

Yeah, actually John Dickerson IS a liar because he is still glossing over just how deep the relationship between Obama and Ayers goes.

Deep relationship
by spruce

They served on the board of directors of the Woods Fund together.

Obama was the chairman on the Chicago Annenber Challenge (on which Ayers was a co-author of the grant).

And Ayers had a coffee for Obama in 1995 and donated a whopping $200 to his 2001 campaign.

Deep indeed. Almost as deep as the shit you are spreading.

Keep denying. Next week there
by Demcon

will be more, much more that John Dickerson and the pro-Obama press are finally going to have to admit about Obama.

Remember how John Kerry was brought down just days before the election? Enjoy.

PUMA
by spruce

Yes, this from the individual that claimed that the PUMAs were huge (numbered less than 100 at the DNC).

Offer the evidence of these supposed deep links. Any evidence. Go for it. Put up or shut up.

The fact of the matter is that these allegations have been investigated indepth for six months now and their tenuous relationships is pretty well known and has been for sometime.

The Republicans, as the elections is quickly fading for them, are in a desperate last second, hail Mary situation.

Meanwhile, we learn that Sarah Palin did indeed break the law. We also know about her ties to a current seccessionist party. Of course, McCain is pals with G. Gordon Liddy, the convicted Watergate felon who has advocated murdering U.S. federal agents. In fact, McCain said of Liddy in 2007, "I am proud of you."

Why don't you focus some of that obsessive energy of yours on Sarah and Tood Palin's connections to the traitorous activities of the AIP? What's fair for the goose . . . .

AIP

This is the best story I have read on the connection between AIP and Palin. Highly recommended.
