Is John McCain Supported By Terrorist Supporters? Nah.

This morning John McCain put out a list of 100 former ambassadors who are supporting his campaign. Number two is Leonore Annenberg, the wife of Ambassador William Annenberg, the founder of the Annenberg Institute of Reform, which funded the Annenberg Challenge, which once had two famous board members: former "domestic terrorist" William Ayers and Sen. Barack Obama.

So either we should all be outraged that John McCain is supported by a family who funded a foundation that hired a domestic terrorist, or this whole William Ayers thing is just plain silly. I choose the latter.

You should send this to watchdog@barackobama.com

They need to add this info about Annenberg

I'm just letting the rest of DU know that.

Trust me, Obama knows it was conservative Republicans who ran that board.

both of the Obamas discussed this on tv yesterday. He was on ABC and she was on CNN! Poetic justice!

That would be a good addition to their Fight the Smears page on this subject: http://fightthesmears.com/articles/22/ayerssmear?source=sem-pm-fts-ay-search-us&gclid=CKnemPzAmZYCFQ89awodqTOS7g

Iranians, Contras, Taliban, The Weather Underground... wow... McCain / Palin sure have a lot of terrorist friends.

Certainly more than Obama.

for those who don't know McCain served on the advisory board to the U.S. chapter of an international group linked to ultra-right-wing death squads in Central America and more...

the Contras and the death squads were "freedom fighters." St. Ronnie said so. :sarcasm:

It doesn't get better than this. HA.

And McCain put that out on a release document today.

:rofl:

I see this is part of a foundation started by Walter and not William Annenberg.

Not sure what this would prove if the two were connected but here is their info anyway.

:D

Mrs. Annenberg supports John McCain and has likely contributed to his campaign, ergo John McCain & Sarah Palin are terrorists. There's no getting around it.

for spewing their lies.

this is why McCain won't say anything. Because he'll come right out and say that he is supported by the people who put Ayers and himself (obama) in that position
