Obama Denies Ayers Connection
When the New American Issues began running ads about Obama's links to Ayers, his campaign released a letter sent to the Justice Department complaining about the ads that bar tax-exempt political groups from advocating a candidate's election or defeat. Meanwhile, Obama denies having more than a passing acquaintance with Ayers.
I cannot find the exact reference, but I consider ANY of these just as good to serve the purpose here... for you to deny this information is to say it's all a huge conspiracy, which I find would be highly dubious...<g>
