Everything for Youns

Right-wing smear groups along with Palin and McCain have tried using guilt-by-association to connect Barack Obama to Professor William Ayers.  For those not familiar, William Ayers was a Vietnam War anti-war activist who advocated violence to stop America’s involvment in the Vietnam War.  He’s much like John Brown during the Slavery Movement.  Would we label John Brown a terriorist or did he fight for the right and justice on behalf of slaves?

Smears about Obama often spread as part of a broader, shadowy strategy to scare people who aren’t very familiar with Barack by spreading false information.  It’s time to learn the truth instead of the lies spread by someone who advocates herself as a Christian.

Here’s the truth: the smear associating Barack to Ayers is “phony,” “tenuous,“ – even “exaggerated at best if not outright false.”  Ayers and Barack barely know each other.  They served together on the boards of local charities, but do not know each other well.

William Ayers is now a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Barack has publicly denounced the acts Ayers committed in the 1960’s (when Barack was only 8 years old).  As reported in The New York Times, the two men do not appear to have been close. Nor has Mr. Obama ever expressed sympathy for the radical views and actions of Mr. Ayers, whom he has called “somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8.”

Together we can make sure these negative and divisive attacks don’t affect this election.

If it’s going to be guilt by association, then let’s talk about Palin and her Witchdoctor Pastor!
