Just watch the MSM roll out the associations, now that Obama's taking the fight to the sleazeballs:

Obama dogged by links to 1960s radical

By Judy Keen, USA TODAY

CHICAGO — Conservatives are stepping up efforts to turn 1960s radical Bill Ayers into a political liability for Barack Obama.

This spring, Obama's links to Ayers briefly became a campaign controversy. Now American Issues Project is spending $2.8 million to air a TV ad highlighting links between Obama and Ayers, a founder of the Weather Underground Organization, which opposed the Vietnam War and was responsible for several bombings...

3. See, this is what pisses me off. The f'ing damage has already been done by just repeating the lies

Sure, we can bitch (and I have, trust me) and then the shitty media will say (or not) they made a mistake, we were deceived and just reporting the facts at that time and all that crap...

BUT, the damn seed has already been planted and given plenty of air and water and by the time the media gets busted, it's too damn late to change that first rotten impression.

I sooooooooooooooooooooooo HATE THEM.

2. You know that guy that Obama met in Chicago?

Well, a couple of guys THAT guy knew killed some people one time!!!

S'true!

4. 1960s' radicals? I remember them well.....

I was in the military so I couldn't speak, but I remember hating those traitorous radicals that would not support our troops in Vietnam....

But then I learned that those radicals were right.

I learned a valuable lesson: don't hate "radicals". They could be right.

5. Obama dogged by enemies of democracy

Like the vermin who put out ads like this and the vermin who put out headlines like USA Today's.

[bidenista]

8. the headline is the worst thing

The rest of the article is so-so, but how many people will skim the headline and leave with a negative impression. Ugh.

[Baclava]

18. yep - it caught my attention

Most Americans only a have a 3 sec attention span anyway.

[BuelahWitch]

6. Next they'll be saying Obama was a member of the Chicago 7

When he was only 7 years old! :grr:

[BOSSHOG]

7. Secretly supported Al Capone

[DefenseLawyer]

16. Obama kidnapped the Lindbergh baby

and started the Great Chicago Fire. But is he ready to lead?

[BeyondGeography]

9. Fucked country

Still unable to resolve half-century-old debates and get on with it. We're becoming European, without the outdoor cafes and the affordable health care.

10. These are the real terrorist, what has become of the media in our country

All last night they were telling us about the "huge" rift between Clinton and Obama supporters

They bombarded us with their talking heads telling us how "boring" our Convention was

They ridiculed our speakers, and condemned us

Who are these people that run the MSM, they aren't jounalists, that is for sure

They helped pushed us into a war based on a lie, and because of that THEY are responsible for the deaths of over a million people

Are the people so blind that they can't see they are being manipulated?

In spite of what these agents of misrepresentation feed us everyday, it comes down to this

Do the people really believe they are better off then they were 8 years ago?

[Alter Ego]

11. WHAT links?

That they served on the board of the same fucking charity? Is that it?

Goddamnit.

[AngryAmish]

12. It is time to close USA Today

Their hate has gone on for too long.

Close them down and make sure anyone who works there is never allowed to work again.

13. "Six Degrees of Barack Obama?"

I know, I know - we're all connected to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Kevin Bacon, George W. Bush, Kate Bush, Penn AND Teller by no more than six degrees each. Big whoopie.

[Hutzpa]

14. We need to stop linking to these type

of headlines, the more you come here and post their garbage the
more people will visit their site and increase traffic, soo we
are partly responsible for most of their thrash reaching out,
if you find it learn to over look things and use common sense
every now and again, unless your motive is to create hysteria
by bringing this piece of thrash here.

USE COMMON SENSE

don't use the links or direct traffic there because you are
helping them with their agenda.

Fucking hell man!!! use your brain for once...

[bidenista]

15. sure, because ignoring negative headlines worked out so well in 2004

Seriously, get a clue.

[Hutzpa]

17. What do you plan to do about it????

since you figure you bringing this here instead of security
personel handling this whole situation,

What do you plan to benefit from this letting us know what
this person wrote that is not accurate.
