Fact-Checking McCain’s ‘Ayers’ Commercial - Groundless, False, Dubious

We find McCain's accusation that Obama "lied" to be groundless. It is true that recently released records show half a dozen or so more meetings between the two men than were previously known, but Obama never denied working with Ayers.

Other claims are seriously misleading. Despite the newly released records, there's still no evidence of a deep or strong "friendship" with Ayers, a former radical anti-war protester whose actions in the 1960s and '70s Obama has called "detestable" and "despicable."

You know if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck even if the media says it's a chicken.

Lol. Hannity. Determination doesn't create facts from thin air. He's so determined to fuel his own narcissism.
Obama is just another citizen of the USA running for President. And he's proving his seriousness and humbleness for the better future of the people. We dont need heresay, rituals, or Republican catch phrases to size up a guy. He's got better things to do than to be afraid of the likes of your people. His mere presence extends to a high pedestal in comparison to your gutter like level of hatred and prejudice. Even all of Islam in the world combined is more honest than a single hateful GOP follower.
My advice is for you to go hang out at another GOP rally and spew out some more redneck style chants.
While you;re there give Hank Jr a big kiss on the lips. Only the drunk redneck entertainers will allow you to play their songs.

Talk about our HIGH Health care costs,this may be why, even obamas buddy tony rezko friend he sent to vegas got caught,orlando jones found dead in michigan? hmmmmm ,olando was doing the same out there in vegas and sending money to obama

You want to build a hospital, you had to pay Rezko, who paid the appropriate people who could help you play. The problem that Rezko faced was the hospital board had fifteen members and that is a lot of people to bribe and a lot of loose ends. But then Rezko had a friend who chaired the Illinois Senate's Health and Human Services Committee. Enter State Senator Barack Obama, who is credited as the moving force behind a piece of bipartisan legislation (IL. Senate Bill 1332) that reduced the hospital board to nine people, to be appointed by Governor Rod Blagojevich (know as Governor 'Blago') with advice and consent of the Illinois Senate. Blago immediately appointed three physicians, Rezko cronies with similar Middle Eastern backgrounds, all of whom were coincidentally big contributors to Barack Obama. As they say downtown, Barack knows how to walk the Chicago Way. Rezko became the guy you saw if you wanted to build a health care facility. He controlled the board's votes.

Sean Hannity wouldn't even recognize facts if they hit him in the head.

He's a bloviating,, anti-semitic, nutty hack with no journalistic integrity who has become rich by inventing stuff for those stupid enough to buy into his lies and smears.
