- Depthfunction, on 11/02/2008, -3/+118Some people just can't accept that a black man can be literate, articulate, and capable of writing a book on his own.
- awasson, on 11/02/2008, -5/+113Your tax dollars at work....
- bitsculptor, on 11/02/2008, -2/+86Absolutely despicable.
- ceredron, on 11/02/2008, -2/+66Well, let's wait and hear what the neocons have to say about this one. Go ahead, refute this one here.
- whatthefu, on 11/02/2008, -3/+46William Ayers is not running for president. People need to stop using the man to try to further their own agenda.
- rhabd0mancer, on 11/02/2008, -1/+41Some people just can't accept that a black man can be President.
- thenekkidtruth, on 11/02/2008, -3/+43What would Republicans have if it wasn't for dirty tricks? The McFailin' campaign is so ideologically bankrupt they haven't mentioned a single plan for American between them either from the stump or in campaign ads (which have been 100% negative) for six weeks now. Why anyone would consider voting for these useless ethically-crippled clowns utterly escapes me.
Meanwhile, I ran a contest on Republican-infested Politico.com for 2 months - the challenge was to name a single solitary "clean" latter--day Republican lawmaker. One with no jail terms, no convictions, no proven lies or throbbing embarrassments.
They couldn't do it. Total FAIL. - sugarazor, on 11/02/2008, -0/+28So I guess it's okay if I insinuate that McCain's books were actually written by Charles Manson and Osama bin Laden?
- mfontain, on 11/03/2008, -1/+29No, it's not all that is needed. It is, however, all that you can manage.
- itsJALbert, on 11/03/2008, -1/+27Many half-black half-white people find the term mulatto to be quite disrespectful and offensive, FYI.
- MindyB, on 11/02/2008, -5/+28Typical GOP strategy, don't deal with the real issues America is facing, promote hate and division! I can't believe that the GOP tries to claim they are the "real" pro-America party! Their behavior has been more anti-American than anything!
- ThsGuyRightHere, on 11/02/2008, -3/+25I guess if I were to run a campaign that had no chance of winning, I'd probably resort to below-the-belt tactics like this in order to win too.
Oh wait, I have a shred of integrity. So I guess I wouldn't.
Hey nutjobs, any comment? I know you're out there... - rhythm7a, on 11/03/2008, -1/+21"rawstory spam buried.
That's all that's needed."
Head in sand, buried. Typical neocon reaction to facts. - Spiffjiggins, on 11/03/2008, -1/+20Hey! Assclown! You do realize that Raw Story linked to the British paper that reported the story right?
- itsJALbert, on 11/03/2008, -0/+17The fact that there's no real reason to suspect that it's true, and the republicans backed off when the professor insisted that the results be made public either way. They're just grasping at straws to find a way to smear Obama.
- AngelaQ, on 11/02/2008, -1/+18This is hilarious. He took a look at it, realized there was no connection, and asked for payment up front and public access to the data. They realized he couldn't be bought and gave up.
- Aguyinachair, on 11/03/2008, -0/+16That in itself is faulty logic. I know what you were trying to say but it didn't quite work.
McCain has actually supported Bush within the last 8 years or so, linking them is completely valid.
Obama has no connection to Ayers as a terrorist. He has connections to a man who works as a professor and as a community worker. They have nothing in common other than they both wanted to help people at that moment in time. Linking them is completely ridiculous.
BTW: Does anyone know if Obama even knew about Ayers' past at that time? I haven't heard anyone mention that one way or another. - JoeMondo, on 11/03/2008, -1/+17I'm old enough to remember when the GOP could run on being good on the economy.
Now their only product is smear. - sulthernao, on 11/03/2008, -1/+13Mulatto is an incredibly offensive term. And the reason why Obama is considered black is because that's what he identifies himself as (and multi-racial). Like gender, race is more about self identification than actual heritage (let's disregard the social pressures on a half-black, half-white person, which you can read about in Obama's book).
- kcpistol, on 11/03/2008, -0/+12FTA: A deal was agreed for "more detailed research," the paper said, but when Millican "said the results had to be made public, even if no link to Ayers was proved, interest waned."
So they didn't care about the truth. They wanted dirt or no deal. - NinaOdell, on 11/02/2008, -1/+13Two years (well, probably since Senator Obama's speech at the DNC in 2004), and these folks have come up with scant little, and none of it truly disqualifying of Senator Obama as president.
I'm finding the conspiracy theories surrounding his birth (currently making their way up the charts right here on Digg) particularly amusing (or unsettling, given the amount of coffee I've had at any moment).
Not only was I happy to vote for Senator Obama, I was happy to vote for a worthy candidate who (among other things, obviously) can keep his dick in his pants. - financedude2, on 11/03/2008, -0/+12That's cool. I can probably prove it via sophisticated software I developed for $10,000. Let me know.
- inactive, on 11/02/2008, -1/+13An professor? Maybe he was an hero too.
- Lutremi, on 11/03/2008, -0/+10By philosophy? Then by that nature McCain and Hitler are linked by philosophy since they are both war-mongering. I mean really, just because you worked with someone in working for the community does not make you share every viewpoint they have. Look around the people you work with/are in class with - I'm pretty sure you don't share "philosophy" with any one of them.
- RodBorn, on 11/03/2008, -2/+12Man, if I were to imagine what a poster boy for this years GOP looked like....it would be this douche.
50+ year old white male. Fat, smug, and out of touch. - Wetzilla, on 11/03/2008, -0/+10If you had no idea who Obama was, and were trying to determine his race just by looking at him, you would say he is black. That is why he is referred to as black, because his appearence to the majority of the world is just that.
- sunsetprojects, on 11/03/2008, -1/+11What the ***** is wrong with all these republicans??
- twiztidsinz, on 11/03/2008, -1/+10Well...
Our tax dollars go to pay Congressmen and women and, according to Republicans, they should be giving money to every member of their family. Thusly our tax dollars went into this. - JoeMondo, on 11/03/2008, -1/+10McCain IS linked to Bush on policy.
McCain can't identify one way in which he differs with Bush on policy. - GregFD3S, on 11/02/2008, -0/+8What a douche.
- GregFD3S, on 11/02/2008, -0/+8Digg it down, then report it.
These trolls need to GTFO. - JoeMondo, on 11/03/2008, -0/+8He was willing to pay, up until he had to agree that if the verdict was NOT AYRES it would be published.
Then it got a whole lot less appealing. - christiancadeo, on 11/03/2008, -0/+8Can these wingnuts become any more stupid? First, do they realize that Barack’s book came out BEFORE Ayers? Secondly, are they trying to tell me that Ayers a guy who only received a Bachelors was somehow needed to write a book for Barack who received a bachelors from Columbia, JD from Harvard AND was the head of the Law Review? Don’t they think it is more logical to see if Barack wrote Ayers books then the other way around?
- twiztidsinz, on 11/03/2008, -0/+8I have no problem with goalieman392 being racist (or half retarded, whatever) But i am definitely not digging him, the main reason being, his mom raised a douchebag.
- Mujokan, on 11/03/2008, -0/+8It's unethical to pay for research when you are going to censor the results. It leads to corruption, so no reputable university will permit it.
- ghuytro, on 11/03/2008, -1/+9This is from an article in the Sunday Times, an almost 200 year old UK newspaper now owned by Rupert Murdoch.

ass head out of
That's all that's needed. - kcpistol, on 11/03/2008, -0/+7The problem is that when he said he would hide the results if they didn't favor his theory, it appears that he is trying to fix the outcome of research, then claim it was independent.
That can appear to be unethical. - Mujokan, on 11/03/2008, -1/+8You must find Digg very trying if you expect people only to post when you ask them for their opinions.
- MScrip, on 11/03/2008, -0/+7> "People need to stop using the man to try to further their own agenda."
Exactly.
Plus, isn't Bill Ayers still alive? Did anyone ask him about his relationship with Obama? Did Bill Ayers confirm a terrorist plot with Obama, or did the Republicans just start shouting and hoped no one would listen to the message? - deathfix, on 11/03/2008, -0/+72 more days...
- AnonBuffalo, on 11/03/2008, -1/+8“He was entirely upfront about this," the professor said of the Republican businessman who made the offer. "He offered me $10,000 and sent me electronic versions of the text from both books.”
Maybe we can get this guy charged with piracy. - barktwiggs, on 11/03/2008, -1/+7Meh. Chirs Cannon is totally irrelevant anyhow. He is not up for re-election because he lost his chance in the primaries. Utahns were sick of his corrupt wheelings and dealings and not representing them anymore. To him I say: GOOD RIDDANCE!
- FreddieD, on 11/03/2008, -0/+6One hour earlier in the Keating story this same guy makes the comment:
"this is another way the Obama campaign is trying to defuse the attention from their screw ups please Obama focus on the issues and stop the negative campaigning..."
Oh the irony! - Slimy, on 11/03/2008, -0/+6"How dare you say that about one of our country's most respected service member! "
I'm sorry but McCain and the rest of the right wing extremists lost all my respect when they started accusing a U.S. Senator of being a terrorist, anti-american, a socialist, etc... etc... etc...
How dare YOU say that that about one of our senators? If you have proof you should report it to the powers that be, press for an investigation and/or charges for treason, otherwise it's just slander. - JoeMondo, on 11/03/2008, -1/+7Obama isn't Carter.
But McCain agrees with Bush on all major policy, and anyone can see where that's gotten us. - jtotheoe, on 11/02/2008, -1/+7not cool, bro. not cool.
- Chestnutridge, on 11/03/2008, -0/+5Your memory is faulty. The American economy was already in deep trouble when Carter became President with inflation already out of control. Oil prices was sky rocketing which set off spiraling inflation throughout the economy. Carter's policies were not very effective in terms of immediate relief, but he did two very good things.
1. He emphasized conservation and alternative energy sources. And guess what, we began to use less oil and eventually the price went down.
2. He appointed the best Federal Reserve chairman we ever had. Paul Volcker, who clamped down on the money supply, sending us into a deep recession but also stopping the inflation spiral. - JoeMondo, on 11/03/2008, -0/+5And they're not charged with breaking any law.
Just being exposed as the dirt peddlers they are, without any policy to stand on. - eir574, on 11/03/2008, -0/+5Didn't WND publish a claim that Ayers wrote Obama's book based on statistics such as the fact that their sentences had similar numbers of words? Why pay money when there are so many people who will believe crap for free?
- iamchewy, on 11/03/2008, -0/+5I could definitely imagine the conversation going something like this:
Fox: What are the chances of a terrorist like Obama and a politician like Ayers... writing a book together?
Dr. Millican: Well, that's pretty difficult to say.
Fox: Hit me with it! I've got ten big ones for you, Doctor. The least you can do is level with me. What are the chances?
Dr. Millican: Not good.
Fox: You mean, not good like one out of a hundred?
Dr. Millican: I'd say more like one out of a million.
[pause]
Fox: So you're telling me there's a chance. -
