Last night WGN radio station in Chicago had a 2 hour segment talking to Stanley Kurtz about the Annenberg initiative and Bill Ayers. A lot of us were appalled that WGN allowed this guy to spew his lies and hate.
But then things took a turn for the worse. Obama's campaign sent out an email encouraging us to let WGN know that the guy is a liar and we don't think he should be given airtime. And now Obama's campaign is being accused by WGN of trying to suppress free speech. I can't believe the number of callers on the show and commenters on the story on the Chicago Tribunewebsite who said they didn't believe Kurtz and previously liked Obama but were now turned off by the campaign's anti-free speech tactics.
Maybe I am more worried than I should be. But this could become big. It's in the Tribune and Drudge is now running with it.
So what can we do? I think the only solution now is to bring out all of McCain's dirty laundry.
Let's talk about Carl Lindner who sponsored terrorists in Colombia and then led fundraisers for McCain's campaign.
Let's talk about all his lobbyist friends.
Let's talk about Keating.
Let's dig deeper into what really happened when he was in Vietnam.
There are a lot of people out there with lies to tell about McCain. And he has a lot of shady connections as well.It really saddens me that it has come to this. But do we have any choice now?
