Brokow attempts to revitalize the Ayers controversy
Brokow's displaying the Kristol's comments concerning Ayer is nothing more than an attempt to discredit Obama. He is solidly in the PNAC neo-con camp. The very camp of PNACers who engineered this war. It is unconscionable that he wasn't challenged for using this Fascist bastard to begin a smear campaign. I have protested to Meet the Press and encourage all Democrats and fair minded Independents to contact them and condemn him.

3. This is a coordinated attack that will crescendo at the debate. So predictable.

4. I agree and I believe there is no doubt Brokaw will be hostile to Obama
during the debate.

5. He didn't succeed. In fact, on a whole, MTP today was basically an Obama ad.
They pretty much trashed McCain's campaign strategy and praised Obama's. I think we are nearing the end.

7. I don't think that Americans , who are up to their asses in real
economic problems are going to get very excited about some alleged connection with an individual whose subversive ideas were active fifty years ago and have long since been forgotten by all but a few political strategists who are desperately dredging the "sewers of politics".

what's subversive about calling for civil rights and honest gov i dunno...i agree with you, but just hope everybody knows Ayers was the general opinion among the anti-war anti crony-capitalism counterculture that the pigs still fight against today

12. Yup.Bringing that up gives Obama the opening to attack Gramps for
ignoring the economic problems and Gramp's contribution to them.

He can look like he's taking on Brokejaw but then actually land some good return punches to the grandfather without looking like he's mugging a senior citizen.

11. And Brokaw wrote a book about the 60s
Coincidence? Unbiased debate moderator? Somehow I think not.

13. I hope they go further and show the mug shot


because William Ayers looks just like many of the rednecks who profess to hate him so much.
