The McCain campaign has just released a vile, false, smear of an ad, attacking Obama for associating with Bill Ayers.
They have dropped the "domestic" and now just call him a terrorist.
So how should Obama respond?
McInsane is all set up to have his heart ripped out and shown to him at the last debate, where Obama/Biden will complete the sweep!
The new smear campaign is available via this link at Politico

Here is the text from www.politico.com
Barack Obama and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. Friends. They've worked together for years.
But Obama tries to hide it. Why?
Obama launched his political career in Ayers' living room.
Ayers and Obama ran a radical "education" foundation, together.
They wrote the foundation's by-laws, together.
Obama was the foundation's first chairman.
Reports say they, "distributed more than $100 million to ideological allies with no discernible improvement in education."
When their relationship became an issue, Obama just responded, "This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood."
That's it?
We know Bill Ayers ran the "violent left wing activist group" called Weather Underground.
We know Ayers' wife was on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list.
We know they bombed the Capitol. The Pentagon. A judge's home.
We know Ayers said, "I don't regret setting bombs. .... I feel we didn't do enough."
But Obama's friendship with terrorist Ayers isn't the issue.
The issue is Barack Obama's judgment and candor.
When Obama just says, "This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood."
Americans say, "Where's the truth, Barack?"
Barack Obama. Too risky for America
So how does Obama respond?
Pre-debate response
- Repeat the question, why doesn't John McCain say this to my face?
- Why does he feel the need to hide behind his wife, his running mate, and his campaign staff?
- John - BE A MAN!
- John, I have been with you at two debates, the Rick Warr-on Intelligence Forum, for two years in the Senate, at your campaign suspension failure to speak meeting, and many other gatherings. Yet you have failed to raise this issue. Please promise me that despite these assocations with you, that you will not hold me responsible for your failed policies, and the failed policies of the Bush, Cheney, McCain administration.
- John, Thankyou for accepting the endorsement of a find Republican Lenore Annenberg, of the, oh yeah, the Annenberg Foundation. It is very big of her to endorse you, especially since this after what you have to say about her foundation

Obviously, you have now accepted association with terrorists as well. I see this as your endorsement of my judgement in trying to improve educational opportunity. Or course, Mrs. Annenberg worked for your self-professed hero, Ronald Reagan, so Ronnie must be a terrorist associate as well.
Debate IV strategy
Mr. McCain, I am glad you have finally decided to make this ridiculous charge to my face, instead of through your surrogates. Of course, you have had the opportunity to do this before, but obviously did not feel it was important, although none of the facts have changed. So once and for all, lets get the facts on the record, so we can return to a serious discussion of the issues that are facing this great country during this election.
or
Senator McCain, I need to address the dishonorable tactics that you are employing in your campaign, to distract the country from the terrible record of the Bush/Cheney/McCain administration. This is the third opportunity for you to say to my face, what you have had your Wife, running mate, surrogates and advertisements say behind my back. Of course, you have had the opportunity to do this before, but obviously did not feel it was important, although none of the facts have changed. So once and for all, lets get the facts on the record, so we can return to a serious discussion of the issues that are facing this great country during this election.
I have not (contrary to your ad) tried to hide the association. I have spoken about it repeatedly and have denounced Mr. Ayer's past behavior in the strongest terms.
Mr. Ayers behavior happened when I was 8 years old. Your unethical behavior and association with Charles Keating happened when you were 50 years old, and a US Senator. And you want to question my judgement?
The Annenberg Foundation, founded by a Republican Former Ambassador nominated by, your hero, Ronald Reagan, was a bipartisan effort to improve education for disadvantaged children. I have no apologies for trying to help children. The foundation appointed Ayers, are you saying that the Annenbers support terrorists, or are you saying their judgement is flawed?
If you insist on playing this childish "Six Degrees of Seperation" game, than using your "logic: you, President Reagan, and Sarah Palin, and your staff are all associated with the Annenbergs, through Mrs Annenberg's endorsement of your campaign, and therefore with Bill Ayers. In addition everyone who works at the University of Illinois, the publishers of his books, his college professors, the students at U of I, teachers and students across Illinois are also associated with a terrorist. Is that what you are saying?
Well, I do not want to play this game of associations with you.
So, Mr. McCain, right now, to my face, either say that I am a supporter, or endorser, or in any way a sympathizer with terrorists, or say it is not true.
Make my day!
