		<description>&lt;i&gt;the “kicking off” business was one supporter making an unofficial announcement at Ayers’ house at an unrelated event that was not at all an Obama event. They live in the same neighborhood; people’s rolodexes overlap. It wasn’t a “kick-off.” Do I have the facts wrong?&lt;/i&gt;

Same difference! BLARGHHHG! OBAMA MAY ASE WELL AHVE BEEN LOADINGNAILS INTO PIPE BOMBS WHEN HE WAS IN THE 7TH GRADE!!!!!

		<description>So &quot;pals around with terrorists&quot; equals &quot;Barack Obama as a scary black separatist terrorist sympathizer&quot; on Oliver World?

Where exactly in Palin&#039;s comments did she reference or allude to Obama&#039;s race?  Can you provide a direct quote?

I see you&#039;ve once again pulled out the race card.  Big surprise.  Because you see, any criticism of The One must be, by it&#039;s very nature, racist.  What with him being black and all.  And anyone who won&#039;t vote for him is clearly a racist.

Thank God Obama is the &quot;post-racial&quot; candidate.  I shudder to think how often he (and his supporters) would be screaming &quot;RACISM!!!!&quot; if he weren&#039;t.</description>

		<description>esrog,
Did Hillary win more or less votes after undertaking the &#039;kitchen sink&#039; strategy?  In the general, Obama doesn&#039;t have an insurmountable lead of delegates already locked in the bank.</description>

		<description>Why do I need to support William Ayers?  

The &quot;pals with terrorists&quot; story needs to be shut down and shoved down McCain&#039;s &amp; Palin&#039;s throats.  If they don&#039;t pay a price for repeating this slander, they will just continue.

I am sure it will be like the Vince Foster murder story.  I just don&#039;t want it to become a &quot;John Kerry didn&#039;t earn his medals&quot; story.</description>

		<description>&quot;Sure, kill the story. Good strategy.&quot;

Case in point. The idea that there&#039;s even a story to kill is, in itself, beyond ludicrous. It&#039;s a non-story. There&#039;s nothing there. Of course, the more the MSM fail to report on a something that isn&#039;t news, the more it will prove to the Dennis&#039;s of the world that this story is HUGE!!!</description>

		<description>&quot;James, unless there is some shocking new information then the press will just be bored with the Ayers story, as they’ve already covered it far more than it deserves.&quot;

That&#039;s about the sum of it, I think, only adding that the odds of some &quot;shocking new information&quot; coming to light are exactly zero. 

That said, the supposedly deep and deeply sinister Obama-Ayers connection is destined to live on forever in the wingnut world. If the MSM ignores it, as they should, it will no doubt be elevated into the wingnut conspiracy pantheon along with the murder of Vince Foster. 

If Obama wins, expect to hear it repeated daily on talk radio and on the blogs, as the wingnuts seek to warm themselves with their own rage during their long, cold exile from relevance.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Based on the immediate response to Palin, the corporate press/media is prepared and perhaps willing to kill the story. But it will take a directed effort from the Obama campaign to get them to do it. &lt;/i&gt;
--James E. Powell

Sure, kill the story.  Good strategy.  Meanwhile, why not show your support for William Ayers.  He really wasn&#039;t that bad a guy.  Some people seem to like him.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.supportbillayers.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Support Bill Ayers&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Dear friends and colleagues in the field of education,&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;i&gt;It seems that the character assassination and slander of Bill Ayers and other people who have known Obama is not about to let up. While an important concern is the dishonesty of this campaign and the slanderous McCarthyism they are using to attack Obama, we also feel an obligation to support our friend and colleague Bill Ayers. Many, many educators have reached out, asking what they could do, seeking a way to weigh in against fear and intimidation. Many of us have been talking and we agree that this one gesture, a joint statement signed by hundreds of hard-working educators, would be a great first step. Such a statement may be distributed through press releases or ads in the future.&lt;/i&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Please click on ENDORSE THIS STATEMENT in order to sign the following statement and, just as importantly, FORWARD it to other friends and colleagues who would like to stand up against these attacks.&lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>James, unless there is some shocking new information then the press will just be bored with the Ayers story, as they&#039;ve already covered it far more than it deserves.

&quot;It just looks dumb and the arguments fall apart.&quot; 

It&#039;s not just stupid made up stories that have this problem; you could say this about the whole republican party and it&#039;s policies. If you try to discuss them rationally with, you know, with actual facts their whole argument falls apart or dissolves into a puddle of gibberish.

e.g. the whole offshore drilling frenzy they worked themselves into a frenzy over - which could provide something like 1% of the oil the US needs in 10 years.</description>

		<description>The important thing here, for me, is that this is backfiring, and badly. As ML points out above, she&#039;s talking about as if it&#039;s news, at a point in the campaign where the name Ayers is just about as well known as the name Obama, thanks to the aforementioned rightwingnuts. If somebody doesn&#039;t watch Fox, they know somebody who does and have likely heard all about it around the proverbial water cooler. 

They seem to think they&#039;re going to claw back into this via the death by a thousand cuts (Ayers! Tax and spend! Dangerous Liberal!), but they just look like they&#039;re flailing.

		<description>It&#039;s over for us!

The Drudge Report is saying that they have PROOF - including birth certificates!!! - that Obama has fathered TWO BLACK children - BOTH in wedlock!

The McCain campaign said, &quot;This goes to prove what we&#039;ve been saying about Obama and others of his race!&quot;

How will we ever recover from this!!! LOL</description>

		<description>I know that this Ayers business is total bullshit, but I wouldn&#039;t be blowing it off as nonsense.  It is exactly the kind of bullshit that can become a Big Story if it isn&#039;t crushed immediately.  Based on the immediate response to Palin, the corporate press/media is prepared and perhaps willing to kill the story.  But it will take a directed effort from the Obama campaign to get them to do it. Otherwise, it will be the old, &quot;hey, it&#039;s out there&quot; argument for keeping the story in front of the campaign coverage.</description>
