Obama: If You Attack With Ads That Are True, I’ll Have You Investigated
Obama threatens Tv stations airing Ayers ads.
The Obama campaign has launched a new ad that fails to dispute a single fact in the American Issues Project’s initialad questioning Barack Obama’s relationship with admitted domestic terrorist, William Ayers.
“This response ad is more smoke and mirrors from a candidate desperate to obscure his long standing relationship with admitted domestic terrorist William Ayers,” said Ed Martin, American Issues Project’s president. “Senator Obama is pretending to barely know the man who hosted the launch of his political career and with whom he has worked for years to advance a liberal agenda.”
Sen. Obama has defended his friend Ayers as “respectable”and “mainstream,” despite the fact that Ayers has continued to trumpet his role in the Weather Underground bombings. On September 11th, 2001, the New York Times reported him saying, “I don’t regret setting bombs … I feel we didn’t do enough.”
The Obama campaign’s response comes one day before the University of Illinois at Chicago is set to release the records of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a nonprofit organization co-founded by Ayers whose board Obama chaired. There cords are expected to shine new light on the relationship between Ayers and Obama.
The American Issues Project’s ad began airing Thursday, August 21, and will continue through the Democratic Convention. An electronic version of the ad and full documentation of all statements made are available at American Issues Project’s website: www.americanissuesproject.org.

It sure is amusing that conservatives get outraged of the actions of an activist over 30 years ago… If you held Bush to that standard, McCain would have been elected 8 years ago…. Hypocrisy is always amusing.

So, in 30 years time we can all forgive OBL for 9/11? That’s some rationalisation Thomas.
