Please stop with the intellectually lazy and outright lie that Factcheck.org in a non-partisan organization. Go to their site and see who they are.
Annenberg Political Factcheck -> Annenberg Public Policy Center - > Annenberg Foundation – > Chicago Annenberg Challenge -> barry & bill ayers.
Go to barrypedia: (Of course their source is Who’s Who in America 2008 that you can’t access unless you have a membership.)
Obama served on the board of directors of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge from 1995 to 2002, as founding president and chairman of the board of directors from 1995 to 1999.
Chicago Annenberg Challenge was a $49.2M grant from the Annenberg Foundation and Bill Ayers was one of the three co-authors of the grant proposal.
Annenberg Foundation -> Chicago Annenberg Challenge -> barry founding chairman and president (1995–1999) Board of Directors (1999 – 2002) -> doled out founds to the Chicago School Reform Collaborative -> Bill Ayers -> who directed them to the individual schools.
In 1997, Ayers won “Citizen of the Year” for his work with the CAC.
At the time barry was working with Ayers on the Woods Fund Board, where they doled out serious funds to among others barry’s official campaign fundraiser and now convicted felon, TONY REZKO….and Valerie Jarrett.
barry (1994 – 2002) Board Vice Chair (1997) Board Chair (1998)
Ayers (1999-) Board Vice Chair (2003-04) Chair (2005-06)
barry Board of Directors (1994 to 2002), during which time he doled out to Ayers through the Chicago Public Schools Education Fund around $1M and through Leadership for Quality Education shuffled some to Bill’s brother John.
And then there was Obama – Ayers family day on Nov 20, 1997 at a seminar about troubled youth going into the adult system: “Close-up on juvenile justice”. Michelle Obama invited Ayers and barry & Ayers were 2 of the 4 panelists to speak.
And through all that you folks bought that he was just a guy in the neighborhood because barry was only 8…
And Axelrod said their kids just go to school together.
Bill Ayers lives in his neighborhood. Their kids attend the same school. They’re certainly friendly, they know each other, as anyone whose kids go to school together.
barry’s are in grade school – Ayers’ are adults.
What kind of arrogant liar thinks he can get away with that?
One who has the media in his pocket. Like Ben Smith from Politico who got the quote on February 26, 2008 and didn’t even know enough about barry’s kids, Ayers’ kids or anything else to realize how bizarre an answer that was. He needed someone to raise the question for him and then he lamely updated his blog. There is no way around that quote – it’s a flat out lie documented by a obamerized political blogger who had no clue.
And there’s AYERS who’s words mean nothing (especially the ones he wrote for barry in his book of mythology and the ones barry wrote about Ayers’ book):
I would really say that we knew each other on a professional level, again on the same level, as say, thousands of other people.
Proud of yourselves for being educated about your vote?
Go to Newsweek and read how they are affiliated with Factcheck. Jonjon Alter admitted it but I’m not about to go looking for it.
Go to POLITIFACT and read how “Our friends at FactCheck.org” and “Our friends from FactCheck.org ” and “our friends at FactCheck.org” and “our friends at FactCheck.org” and “our friends at FactCheck.org” and “Our friends at Factcheck.org” and “our friends at FactCheck.org” and “Our friends at Factcheck.org” and “Our friends at FactCheck.org” and “Our friends at FactCheck.org” and there are at least 8 more.
Have they ever overturned Factcheck.org to make it look good or don’t they even care?
Politifact is no more non-partisan than their good friends at Factcheck.org, which is no better than KOS, which is the barry campaign media outlet.
How do people convince themselves they know the truth about barry when it’s just a few clicks away?
And it’s going to be there when the MSM gets exposed. Well, whatever barry, his bots and his Facebook and Google friends haven’t scrubbed.
