New Obama ad: Why is McCain trying to distract us with that unrepentant terrorist I’m friends with?

Even the lefty USA Today noticed.

Obama dogged by links to 1960s radical - USATODAY.com

The article seems to make excuses as much as the campaign does.

It doesn't say much about Obama threatens TV stations airing Ayers ad

It says:
Quote:
The campaign also released a letter sent last week to TV stations disputing the ad's truthfulness.
That's it. That's all it says. Nothing about the lawsuit.

One interesting note:

Quote:
Documents released today by the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) will be scrutinized for clues to the relationship.

Ayers was a founder of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a school-reform group. Obama chaired its board from 1995-99. National Review reported last week that UIC said records detailing meetings and other business were public, then reversed itself. UIC said Friday there was a misunderstanding.
That's it. That's all it says.

It says "In 1995, Ayers hosted a brunch for Obama, who was running for the Illinois Senate." It doesn't mention that it was in Ayer's home!

The "Documents released today" part of it is interesting. Did they have enough time to filter out the good parts?
