time-blog.com — A litany of McCain lies exposed. The Annenberg Challenge (CAC), of which Ayers wrote the grant, was funded by Republican Walter Annenberg, an Ambassador under Nixon and friend and supporter of President Reagan's. Obama was recruited to the bipartisan Board by Pat Graham, not Ayers. And no, Ayers never held a fundraiser for Obama. Read the facts.

FTALIE: The Annenberg Challenge was a radical organization that promoted a liberal agenda in schools.FACT: The Annenberg Challenge was funded by Republican Walter Annenberg, an ambassador during the Nixon administration and friend of President Reagan's. Illinois Republican Governor Jim Edgar and the conservative Tribune Foundation both wrote to Annenberg requesting funds for a foundation to help Chicago schools. Republican Governor Jim Edgar and Mayor Richard Daley announced the formation of the Annenberg Challenge in a joint event, and their administrations' continued to work closely with the Challenge throughout its existence. Reading and math scores for underperforming students improved during the course of the Challenge, and as a result of the Challenge there are now hundreds more board certified teachers in Chicago Public Schools. / FTAApparently, Republicans are all for improved education, except when education actually improves.

Looks like the Palins Really were involved with terrorist!The Palins' Secessionist Group Was Supported By Iran!The entry links to a Salon.com article that talks about how Todd Palin, Sarah's husband, belonged to a secessionist group, the Alaskan Independence Party. Iran, the sponsor of terrorism, also sponsored the founder of the Alaskan Independence Party to speak before the United Nations in 1993.<a class="user" href="http://digg.com/politics/The_Palins_Secessionist_Group_Was_Supported_By_Iran?OTC-em-sh2">http://digg.com/politics/The_Palins_Secessionist_G ...</a>

The board that Ayers and Obama served on was also made up of many conservatives who never had a problem with Ayers. Ayers worked well within the mainstream of Chicago's political and business community in the 90s.<a class="user" href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=95442902">http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?story ...</a>It's funny how McCain-Palin pretend to run on a platform of Christian values - they seem to have forgotten the part about forgiveness and redemption.

Please tell me what i am wrong about, please. I didn't go to one website to find GOP talking points, that would be as stupid as you going to obamas site for talking points. I chose to educate myself and find actual facts to support what I say and how I think. I suggest you do the same rather than spouting out something completely unrelated to my post. It doesn't help your argument (you know, the one you didn't have)

You have the internets. Research it and then decide for yourself.(Oh noes! That might require you to READ and THINK for yourself!!!!))
