Why is McCain being Deceitful about the fact that William Ayers' educational foundation was funded by Republicans, not Democrats...

Because only the uninformed, or gullible, or dishonest buy into your contention that the Annenberg Foundation is a Republican organization. Using your logic, CNN is a pro-socialist news source because founder Ted Turner is pro-socialist.

The Annenbergs who are Republicans, Bankrolled William Ayers with $50 million dollars. However, Walter and Leonore Annenberg weren’t just giving money to the educational foundation started by William Ayers, they were also giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Republican National Committee and various other Republican groups, as well as to a whole host of Republican candidates, including the following:

George W. Bush $4000 - Mitt Romney $5000
Strom Thurmond $1000 - Fred Thompson $500
Rick Santorum $3000

There are questions that are not being asked or answered such as --why would billionaire Republican philanthropists give millions of dollars to a program that was started by William Ayers, if he is such a scary figure and unrepentant? Why would George W., Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson and all those other Republicans accept money from the people who were funding this William Ayers-associated group? And, why won’t McCain discuss these connections between the Republican Party and Ayers?"

Recently, McCain campaign put out a press release bragging about the fact that Leonore Annenberg has endorsed him for president. The very Leonore Annenberg who bankrolled William Ayers with millions of dollars is now backing McCain!

Lastly, Republican Arnold Weber who served on the board of the CAC with Barack, who worked with William Ayers in the 90’s, has also donated at least $1000 to the McCain campaign. So you see, McCain is accepting money from associates of William Ayers, and so far has not given the money back. Why won't McCain come clean about these facts? Why is he being deceitful about this?

As an aside, the only reason Wright hasn't been brought up lately is Palin's newly YouTubed witch-hunter pastor, not because of some exercise in political ethics.

As much as I hate to agree with Bill Maher, I think his comment on this one right. If Obama were caught getting a blessing against witchcraft, his election chances would be next to nothing, but for Palin, everyone who thinks that sort of religious practice is ridiculous hates Palin anyway and those that do think she might need a blessing against evil spiritual forces love her more for getting the blessing.

The key phrase there was "if anybody finds out about Jeremiah Wright". Obviously, Jeremiah was played all summer long in constant rotation and everybody already knows about him. That's what I meant, not what I said. I guess wise cracks aren't very good when you end up having to explain them.

Meanwhile, the McCain campaign agonizes over whether to "use" Jeremiah or not.

"This will all turn around in a New York minute if anybody finds out about Jeremiah Wright."

Excuse me? Those hundreds of times that the Wright clips were played in the spring weren't seen by anybody? I think you vastly overrate any new impact to be gained by rehashing Wright and underestimate the damage that going even more negative will do to McCain.

But hey, if it keeps hope alive, go for it.
