Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Obama’s “I barely know Ayers” lie exposed by…CNN?

I had to search the book of Revelation to see if this is a sign of the coming Apocalypse, but I couldn’t find it.  Ed Morrissey has the details and the video clip:

You’ll want to double-check the logo at the bottom left corner during this report.  It really is CNN and Anderson Cooper fact-checking Barack Obama’s claims to have barely known William Ayers — and calling it dishonest.  Stanley Kurtz even gets to make an appearance on a network other than Fox for this report (via Dirty Harry’s Place):

[video clip]

Drew Griffin runs down most of the salient points raised by people like Kurtz, David Freddoso, Jerome Corsi, and others. Obama’s admission in a debate that he briefly served on “a board” with Ayers with little contact gets shot down. CNN followed up on Kurtz’ work with the Chicago Annenberg Challenge and debunks that notion. They also — amazingly — report on the nature of the grants made by the CAC while Obama ran it to Ayers’ favored schools with radical agendas.

Griffin also tells a somewhat nonplussed Cooper that Obama has lied about his “coming out party” at the home of William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn in 1995. Obama has said that Alice Palmer arranged the fundraiser and the venue, but Griffin spoke to two people who attended the event, who claim Obama lied. Palmer had nothing to do with that event outside of being invited to it. Obama and Ayers planned the event themselves.

Obama has lied repeatedly about his relationship with the unrepentant domestic terrorist. He spent years working for Ayers, promoting Ayers’ causes. Even CNN won’t buy the Obama line any longer. Expect John McCain to raise this point tonight in the debate.

Exit question: Am I the only one who noticed that Anderson Cooper looks like somebody urinated in his bowl of granola and soy milk?

    If this wasn’t a sign, then surely the President of the Los Angeles Chapter of NOW endorsing Palin is!

  2. It’s about time – both for taking a real serious public look at this, and whizzing in Anderson’s breakfast. ;-)

  6. Although I’m only twelve I understand the fact that Obama Bin Ladin always skirts the issues without addressing anything with substantive feedback. He is indeed The greatest Obamaliar. And as always I must go to school and listen to my liberal teachers praising this moron. (they musta been dropped on thier heads and have been fed numerous bottles of stupid juice when they were raised, as young liberal babies, by thier “hippy” parents .)

  7. I thought Mac would be allover these obama/Ayres/Wright things tonight like flies on a dog turd. He needs to bring obama’s credibility into question. The format did not allow it.
    Funny thing, though. Even after tonight civil format, the “instant”, “scientific all-encompassing pool” conducted by CNN after tonight’s debate quantified the most important question in the mind of voters: “Who is best prepared to be commander in chief.” 85% said McCain was.

    All pools about approval on abortion issues, gay marriage, relating to hip hop culture, endorsement by 50 cent, etc, are meaningless at this point. People will enter the voting booth to chose the person “who is most prepared to be president” Period.

  8. Crush, didn’t you get the memo? It’s RACIST to link Obama to terrorists like Ayers. I’m surprised Anderson Cooper is still on the air for daring to besmirch “The One.”

  9. He needs to bring obama’s credibility into question. The format did not allow it.

    I hardly think that was coincidental. There were thousands of questions submitted, and what we got last night was the best they could come up with? Brokaw didn’t want Obama to have to answer anything about his dubious alliances.

    People will enter the voting booth to chose the person “who is most prepared to be president”

    Hunter, I wish I shared your optimism. Too many people have drunk the Obama Kool-aid and don’t care about the country or who’s most prepared to lead it. They’re more interested in riding the “gimme train”.

  10. We all know that college campuses overfloweth with pony-tailed ex-hippie moonbats. But seriously, how do actual terrorists end up as professors at these places? Working on indoctrination…err, ‘education issues’ no less!

  11. Fanboy – well, for starters, colleges are basically little “welfare states”, massively funded by government money in the form of loans to students. Since many – especially on the left – are convinced that college is somehow necessary, people keep signing up with no idea of why. With that much free money, there’s no accountability, and lunatics who wouldn’t survive ten minutes in the real world are able to find a home as faculty members. The fact that we’ve been in the “post-modern” era of relativism for the past 70 years or so doesn’t hurt the universities, either. If there’s no such thing as “truth”, I can jibber-jabber all day as long as it’s “revolutionary.” Or if it helps to advance “diversity.”
    Sorry, you got me started on one of my pet subjects for ranting.
