World is getting concerned about BO's radical ties: >As Australian MSM calls Obama out for links to terrorists (plural), US MSM keeps its head in the sand… October 13, 2008 by PUMA Pundit Very interesting article to say the least. There is nothing new in it, but the fact that it was published speaks volumes about how the world is gradually coming around to calling Obama what he is; a man whose judgment is extremely questionable to say the very least… I don’t know why the MSM is hell bent on bringing Obama in against all odds, but it is safe to say that if he is ever elected President his track record is not one that augurs well for this country’s growth and development. I mean, how can a mainstream presidential candidate even think it is ok to associate with people who believe urban guerrilla warfare is an acceptable way to bring about change in the United States? PUMA Pundit A few excerpts, actually, to heck with excerpts, here is pretty much the whole article: THE seemingly inevitable ascent of Barack Obama to become US president has hit a hurdle, as he is forced to confront accusations, supported by a hard-hitting television ad campaign, that he had a long-time association with two of America’s leading terrorists from the 1960s, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, one-time leaders of the Weathermen (also known as the Weather Underground). It is not in dispute that Obama began his political career in 1995 at the home of Ayers and Dohrn, when his sponsor (herself on the far left of the Democratic Party and a champion of the Soviet Union as late as 1986) arranged for him to meet some influential leftists and potential campaign supporters and contributors who could launch his career. Subsequently, “the record shows that connections between Obama and Dohrn have actively continued since Obama launched his political career in their living room in 1995?. For example, Michelle Obama and possibly also Barack Obama worked at the same law firm at the same time as Dohrn in 1984-88, while in 1995 Ayers co-founded the Chicago Annenberg Challenge using a $US50 million grant and selected Barack Obama to be the first chairman of the board of the project, a position that Obama held for eight years. Obama and Ayers also served together on the board of the philanthropic Woods Fund for three years after Obama joined the board in 1999. Obama also served on the Leadership Council of the Chicago Public Education Fund with Ayers’s father and brother. These facts cast doubt on the recent claims by Obama’s campaign manager that Obama knew Ayers only slightly and only because they lived in the same neighbourhood and their children went to the same school. Apart from the above connections, Ayers’s children are much older than Obama’s.< puma08.com
