Obama seeks to silence Ayers ad
Malkin has made a note of it, we should make sure that the ad makes its way around the blogosphere.
Obama Connection to Capitol Bomber William Ayers Topic of New Ad
DENVER (AP) - Barack Obama is striking back fiercely and swiftly to stamp out an ad that links him to a 1960s radical, eager to demonstrate a far more aggressive response to attacks than John Kerry did when faced with the 2004 “Swift Boat” campaign.
Obama not only aired a response ad to the spot linking him to William Ayers, but he sought to block stations the commercial by warning station managers and asking the Justice Department to intervene. The campaign also planned to compel advertisers to pressure stations that continue to air the anti-Obama commercial.
It’s the type of going-for-the-jugular approach to politics many Democrats complain that Kerry lacked and that Republicans exploit.
That’s a rather foolish statement…the ‘going-for-the-jugular approach to politics many Democrats complain that Kerry lacked and that Republicans exploit.’
Riiiiight. What Kerry lacked was truthtelling, just like Obama. This ad tells the truth; which should make you think- and Obama wants to silence anything that might make you think twice about him.

Ok, Cao, I just wanted to let you know that I took your advice and there’s now a donate button on my blog. I kinda doubt anyone would send me money, but I figured why not?

I saw it, Michelle, I’ve seen where some bloggers have received some help when finances are tight…
For example, my friends Mj and Jake had their video camera smashed at a protest, posted a picture of the smashed camera, and asked for assistance - and their readers bought them another camera.
You never know…
