Biden wheedles about “malarkey”
Stop smirking, smirky.
Joe Biden called Sarah Palin’s much-needed attacks on Barack Obama’s ties to Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers “malarkey.”
Yeah, “malarkey.”
Tell it to John Murtagh, Greasy Joe:
Today, John M. Murtagh made the following statement on Barack Obama’s relationship with William Ayers:
“When I was 9 years-old the Weather Underground, the terrorist group founded by Barack Obama’s friend William Ayers, firebombed my house. Barack Obama has dismissed concerns about his relationship with Ayers by noting that he was only a child when Ayers was planting bombs at the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol. But Ayers has never apologized for his crimes, he has reveled in them, expressing regret only for the fact that he didn’t do more.
“While Barack Obama once downplayed his relationship with Ayers, today his campaign took that deceit one step further. Barack Obama now denies he was even aware of his friend’s violent past when, in 1995, Ayers hosted a party launching Obama’s political career. Given Ayers’ celebrity status among the left, it’s difficult to believe. The question remains: what did Obama know, and when did he know it? When did Obama learn the truth about his friend? Barack Obama helped Ayers promote his book in 1997, served on charitable boards with him through 2002, and regularly exchanged emails and phone calls with him through 2005. At what point did Barack Obama discover that his friend was an unrepentant terrorist? And if he is so repulsed by the acts of terror committed by William Ayers, why did the relationship continue? Any honest accounting by Barack Obama will necessarily cast further doubt on his judgment and his fitness to serve as commander in chief.
“Barack Obama may have been a child when William Ayers was plotting attacks against U.S. targets — but I was one of those targets. Barack Obama’s friend tried to kill my family.”
In February 1970 John Murtagh’s father was a New York State Supreme Court justice presiding over the trial of the so-called “Panther 21,” members of the Black Panther Party indicted in a plot to bomb New York landmarks and department stores. Early on the morning of February 21, three gasoline-filled firebombs exploded at their home on the northern tip of Manhattan, two at the front door and the third tucked neatly under the gas tank of the family car. The same night, bombs were thrown at a police car in Manhattan and two military recruiting stations in Brooklyn. A few weeks after the attack, the New York contingent of the Weathermen blew themselves up making more bombs in a Greenwich Village townhouse. In late November that year, a letter to the Associated Press signed by Bernardine Dohrn, Ayers’s wife, promised more bombings.

If he’s that clueless, do you really want someone like that to run this country?
Inquiring minds want to know, but we never will. Obfuscation and lies, that is what Obama’s campaign has been built on.
Obama is unqualified to be President of the United States based on the fact that he is so dull-witted as to not know the people he most closely partners with. If he did know Ayers past, which is most likely the case since they are of the same political bent and share the same associations, then he is a liar and a fraud. And if that does not disqualify him, I am at a loss as to what would.
Well, if McCain/Palin wins, John will be VP as far as most conservatives are concerned.
He has done it by appealing to the lowest common denominator.
To late in the game for the McCain folks to keep bringing to attention Obama’s ties to Ayers, Wright, etc.. MSM has swept this under the rug and the main focus is the economy. McCain is identified with Republicans who get all the blame for the meltdown. “Hope and Change” has this one won.
Two Words: Yogi Berra
I feel like grabbing Obama by the scruff of the neck and screaming into his face “you f’ing liar!”.. I’m so sick of this, and just as sick of the multitudes of complete IDIOTS walking the streets of this country who willingly and recklessly ignore every single thing that points to just how bad this POS Obama really is.
Of course Obama knew. Darlings of the left stick together.
Does anyone here have the sheet music to “Obama uber alles?”
Joe knows all about “Malarkey” …
It’s on aisle 6 at Home Depot …

Maybe BO won’t throw Bill Ayers under the bus because he’s afraid he’ll firebomb it.
Obama threw Ayers under the bus.
Ayers blew it up.
I’m not an O’Reilly fan, but I saw a clip of his interview with b. Hussein on HIS show. He pretty much took him down on this issue.
Great minds think alike.
Rush used the line that the one thing Osama and Obama have in common is that they both have friends who ‘bombed’ the Pentagon. It’s a great one liner to RUN WITH!
I think you’re onto something there, Rogue. Some dogs are too mean to turn on!
Bless you John M. Murtagh.
I can not imagine how horrific this all must be to you and yours.
I can only hope these “Ayers & friends” type terrorists don’t get national powers to do even more damage.
his father died as a drunk in a drunken car crash (he previously lost both legs in another drunken car crash) and his friends say he turned to alcohol because he believed he was so brilliant and special and couldn’t stand that he wasn’t president of kenya. sound familiar? he admits to addictive behavior, and in the stress of his campaign he has reverted to smoking. what about his drug use, is that a worry we need to think about. john kennedy was addicted to pain drugs, we never knew it, and he was a huge womanizer, and we weren’t told about that either until he was dead. what don’t we know about barry? clinton was protected by the press when all the bimbo eruptions occurred, and his behavior didn’t change just because he became president. listen to that funny voice in your gut, it usually is right.
The fact that Osama Obama has stoutly clung to any defense of Ayers is not despicable — it’s frightening.
We are in for a major disaster when Obama wins. “The Enemy Within” has finally become real.
..at the same time, I feel like giving McCain a full roundhouse slap across the face and yelling at him, “What the hell is wrong with you??? Your country is in terrible danger, you have an opportunity to do something about it, and you’re being a wimp!”
Seriously, what the hell is McCain waiting for? He has nothing to lose anymore, he might as well ‘damn the torpedoes’ and go down in a blaze of glory, rather than this pathetic appeasement he is currently showing.
After what this country has been through, it astounds me that so many are just standing there and willfully letting this charade called Obama go on.
The “malarky” link reads as “http//” on my browser. Any idea what the linked page is?
If so we must work for impeachment ASAP.
By the way — add Kenya’s murderous leader, Odinga, to the list of Obama’s criminal pals. In this case, supposedly a cousin.
How many free passes does this pathetic loser get?
Poleman, re:…MSM has swept this under the rug…
I don’t know about that, we in the biz know that the majority of people no longer get their news from “traditional” sources, (hey, you are here aren’t you?). The fact is that the majority of voters don’t even get their info. from “new” media… they get it from friends & family. And there is no way to control or to measure that dynamic.
To Michelle:
This link from your above post does not work.
As many as it takes.
Slo Joe would be well advised to not use malarkey in his speeches … People may notice.
What’s Biden saying about Barry slamming his state of Delaware for having lax banking laws? Hmmmmm?
When the Left succeeds in supressing all dissenting opinion, when we have all been silenced and rendered subjects of the State, when all political opposition is crushed, whom will they have to blame? Answer: no one. There will be no need because they will have consolidated all power with the State, and there is no reason to criticize the State because it is infallible. Much like the Pope, only better. All hail our Dear Leader, hail Minister Soros and all the unnamed heros of the Socialist Revolution! Well done comrades! And all without firing a shot!
These ticks will burrow in so deep there will be no getting them out of power. 1776 to 2009. It was a nice run for a great country. Too bad we could not find the courage of our convictions.
Wearing white after labor day.
Then you must be talking about the majority of the country that’s enamoured by him.
I laughed when he said it, and then you could see in his eyes he knew what a stupid blinder he’d made. Too bad McCain didn’t pounce…(sigh).
Hey look here, Chuch Hagels wife hates America and wants the terrorist to run her country:
Now that BO knows that Ayers is an unrepentant terrorist I wonder what goes through his mind every time he gets near the Capitol Building?
Tick Tick Tick
So, is there a point to this?
Arnold is endorsing McCain, meanwhile his Democrat wife Maria Shriver is endorsing Obama.
Oh, speaking of Democrats, the MSM of course didn’t pick this up the other day…
The Los Angeles chapter head of NOW Shelly Mandel, a Democrat, is endorsing Sarah Palin/McCain ticket. Calls her a true feminist.
Bidet/Obummer will get into bed with whomever they need to to win the election. One’s domestic terrorist is another’s freedom fighter after all.
Bidet has been in Washington so long he has no clue who the real enemies are. They’re in public schools, universities and they’re the ones who can’t live within their means (or budgets).
So, if McCain were to choke on a chicken bone between now and November, would the GOP run with Palin or go back to the drawing board.
It doesn’t matter to me. I’m voting for whoever is running against BO. Hell, even Pat Paulsen. (Is he still alive?)
How come none of this is in public school history books?
Here’s hoping Obama gets run over by his own bus.
The only hope I have left is that McCain has some incredibly nasty and irrefutable dirt on Obama that NOBODY can ignore, stuff that would make Watergate look like a Boy Scout picnic, and is just holding it back until right before election day.
I can dream, can’t I?
“Here’s hoping Obama gets run over by his own bus.” – I meant that figuratively.. or perhaps not.
Silky, who do you think writes history books now?
As Biden agrees with just about all, if not ALL, of Ayers goals and methods it is malarkey to him. Biden may be a fool and a clown but he is a powerful fool and clown and a dedicated Marxist.
The SOBs are coming for you; if not now soon. Are you ready? Your fathers and grandfathers were.
NYC,
Don’t forget the Obama has Secret Service protection now. More of our tax dollars wasted.
I feel for all the victims and their families who have to live with the constant reminder that these terrorists got away it. And, now there’s a presidential candidate who thought the terrorists were cool. My sympathies.
How old was Obama when Ayers reiterated his disdain for America by stomping on the U.S. flag? That was on 9/11/01 in the NYTimes, by the way?
Was he still purposely oblivious then?
If McCain really wants to win he simply needs to make one major promise …
If elected I will only serve ONE TERM … which would ensure that Palin will be running for POTUS in 2012 …
I know … draming again …
Your overconfidence gives me hope that’s going to change.
that should have been “dreaming again”
One day, perhaps in the near future, Joe Biden in his own words will say something coherent and deeply intelligent — and thereby blow the entire election.
I don’t know what’s more depressing: that someone who’s about to be elected president consorts with admitted and unrepentant terrorists or that a few of us have to try to convince the majority why that matters. Sigh.
I’d like to know how much Ayers and his ilk have contributed to the Odumbo campaign. I’d especially like to see what he filled out as “Occupation”.
What will soldiers think if they have to follow a Commander in Chief who pals around with someone who bombed the Pentagon?
Do you remember when Christopher Columbus was a hero and we had a day off of school to honor him?
sigh… the good old days.
Good question. I think an ad should be in the works asking a few of our military men and women that exact question.
Hopefully they’ll tell him to go $@#% himself.
Illinois still celebrates Casimir Pulaski Day (Polish general and hero of the Revolutionary War). How long before that’s abandoned for William Ayres Day?
Hold on. So it’s okay if the dems talk about their
associationsallegiances, but we can’t talk about them? As J.Wright would say, “NAW! NAW! NAW!”Delicious irony!
Its a damn good question. American schools hardly teach ANY history anymore.

The military will feel the same way they did for 8 years with a draft dodger as POTUS … disgusted …
As did I, DS.
BTW, when I retired from the AF in mid-2001 they tried to give me a certificate with BJ’s name on it — I guess they had them left over. I insisted that they give me one that had my current CINC’s name on it.
How many schools teach about the following wars and thier consequences?
The Boer War
The crimean war
The War of 1812
The boxer rebellion
The Korean War
The sino-russian war 1905
The american intervention in the Russian revolution
The reunification of italy
Tito’s war
How many Americans know that Russia still holds part of pre-hitler Germany? and that it borders Poland? Do they know what the reformation was and who Luther was? Do they know how the byzantine empire fell? And how that relates to us today?
Interestingly, the one responsible for fire bombing the judges house, Terry Robins, blew himself up along with Diana Oughton in the March 6th ’70 explosion. All that was left of Robins was a torso, they found part of a thumb that belonged to Diana. Robins father never claimed the body.

They’re too busy learning about the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and all the war crimes Americans committed in Viet Nam and Iraq.
FLAMING SKULL ALERT @ ACE OF SPADES!
Sarah has been a registered Republican since 1982. She never was a member of that AIP party. Barack Obama RAN FOR OFFICE under the banner of this FAR LEFT organization.
What to make of this, people?
Michelle, can you help us on this one?
And forgetting the rape of nanking.
I suspect the vast majority of the country does not support him. If indeed it is true that they do, then the country is truly lost.

They don’t need to, all they need is enough to cower the rest.
People don’t understand, you don’t need 50% plus to start a revolution. You only need 15%
All the college students of today voting for Obie will be the ones crying foul when the great intellectual’s purge of the SSA (Socialist States of America) begins.
FUBAR!
There was a time when the populace wasn’t easily cowed. Sadly it seems that those times are past. I don’t recognize my country anymore.
Well, well, well. Looky what has emerged. A nice little news video…
CNN Finds Extensive Ties Between Barack Obama and ‘Terrorist’ Bill Ayers.
Really? You don’t say.
WHAT!!!! 70 comments on an Ayers thread and Chap is not here threadjacking with “trooperlessgate”.
I must be in a parallel universe.
Umm, Bidet thought FDR was POTUS during the stock market crash and he went on TV to tell the American people about it. Joe’s plugs are growing in the wrong direction – into his brain.
No Sh!t
But with only 55% of Voting Age Population actually voting, and just needing a plurality to win, all he would need is around 25% of eligible voters (depending on the take from 3rd party candidates) to get in. That’s why voter turnout is such a big deal. Apathy kills us.
Everyone should watch that video…I learned a few new things about Ayers and his connection to Odumbo I had never heard before…
WATCH IT!!!!!
Great video of the “Biden as McCain” gaffe, Michelle!
My favorite comment on that blog, after introducing the “next Vice President of the United States, John McCain”:
Bill Bennett aired some of the CNN report this morning and was commenting on it. Well, maybe CNN is STILL the Clinton News Network…?! Could they be trying to torpedo The One’s campaign to grease the skids for the Hildebeast in ’12?
If the legal age to drink is 21 the legal age to vote should be 21 … with the exception of active military … they understand what it means to be an American …
Woah.. that video also links to the Trinity Church.. nice.
Watch as the dems try to sweep this under the carpet ..or should I say bus?
I don’t know, but I commend CNN even taking it this far. Perhaps this will show how biased the rest of the networks are for NON coverage on this issue. And their protectionist attitude towards Obama.
Maybe, just MAYBE the tide is turning…
Not holding my breath though.
Apathy wont be a problem. I suspect that voter fraud will sink us. The feds feeble attempts to root it out are laughable at best.
BAL, that is a great video, thanks for the heads-up. I’m sending it to everyone I know.
Remarkably, after all the *work* BHO did in funding these targeted left-wing propaganda projects, there is STILL not a single individual person who has come forward and said, “My life was made better because of Barack Obama’s days as a community organizer”.
Not a single one!
BAL, you could be right. If they’re getting sensitive to being portrayed as ‘in the bag’ for Obummer, the MSM may try to out Fair themselves by airing negative stories about him (not counting NBC, of course). I don’t really believe that, though. This CNN story probably just slipped through before they could catch it.
I’d just make sure Mama Obama ain’t around when you do it. Her expression alone looks like a can of whup a##
The Left know that voter turnout is important, hence the ‘anything goes’ approach to registrations: felons, illegals, homeless, the dead, imaginaries, etc. We need to be better at getting our side to the polls.
Anyone watch Anita Dunn’s eyes blinking like rapid fire? Some body language experts claim that indicates lying.
Maybe she needs botox to keep that under control like Pelosi.
For a preview of Biden IMing The One in the WH – David Sanders: IMing in an Obama administration
How about America’s first war — with Muslim Barbary pirates? (Hence, the term “Barbarian.”)
Thomas Jefferson warned about them then — with dire predictions for the future. I was stunned to learn about this in a political thriller. I asked a former college prof (conservative), and he just sighed and said, “Yes, I knew about that. I learned that in school.”
There’s apparently a nifty statue on the Naval Academy grounds commemorating the sailors who fought against the thugs. You can imagine how well this statue goes over with our Muslim friends…
That’ll work. Just ask Biden.
BlameAmericaLast – I should have said ‘just like Pelosi and Biden’
DOW closes over 200 points lower yet again.. I think that total is now very close to a 2000 point drop in 1 week..
William Ayres occupation is Teacher-Professor of Education-University of Illinois- Chicago-in other words he gets paid for being the radical he always was.
Perhaps, if he ever gets out of Home Depot. He does his best thinking on the Gravy Train. But that this election is so damn tight is scary. Such a large part of our citizenry willing to sell their Heritage and Rights for Bread and Circus.

What McCain should say in response to Obama’s excuse that he was only 8 when Ayers committed his terrorist acts is:
“So at what age did you learn to read with comprehension Senator?”
Excellent video. It’s on CNN? How did that happen – Bill and Hillary?
well, i think Obamitler is lying, cause the attorneys for Bernadine Dohrn are the same attorneys that Michelle Obama worked for and isn’t that where Michelle Obama and Barry, met???? yeah, he had no idea.. right.. i am sorry, ain’t buyin’ that not one bit.
Is it true that Obama, Ayers and Malcolm X all live within a couple blocks of each other in Chicago?
If nothing else resonates with the media, just the fact that Obama lied about Ayers and said he only knew him in passing in the neighborhood and their kids went to school together should show what a creep Obama is. That was a proven lie. Of course, most people assume politicians lie, so what else is new…right? This is pathetic.
