Thread: Obama's Bill Ayers debate lie

McCain pointed out Obama was hosted by Bill Ayers in his house, to kick off his political career. Obama point blank said it was not true. That was a bald faced lie. This issue now needs to be documented in the news. It will not die and Obama made another huge error.

its not true. it was a democratic meet and greet that obama happened to attend. it was not an event FOR obama to start obama's career.

Obama announced his candidacy for state Senator of Illinois at Bill Ayers party.

You did not know this? Well I am surprised you want to vehemently deny something and then not know about it.

I like the way Obama supporters make light of Obama's terrorist connection. It's just the cutest thing.:sarcasm:

here is all we know about what you're claiming, again, unless you can prove otherwise. there just isn't any evidence to suggest obama is lying about anything. you have a bunch of hearsay, going back 13 years ago, to a gathering that NO ONE even remembers the date of.

from the cnn article which wiki cites:

In 1995, months after the little-known Obama became Annenberg chairman, state Sen. Alice Palmer introduced the young lawyer as her political heir apparent. The introduction was made over coffee at the home of Ayers and Dohrn. Two people who attended the event told CNN the introduction of Obama included a solicitation for campaign funds.
Obama senior aide Dunn said it was just a coincidence the event occurred at the home of the two former Weather Underground members.
"A Democrat state senator organizes the meeting at the home of one of her supporters," Dunn said. "What is the problem here? It is the worst kind of inference and the worst kind of politics to say that says something about Barack Obama."
Palmer rarely speaks to reporters. But she recently denied to CNN that she organized the political affair for Obama, although she said she attended.
Dr. Quentin Young, a longtime physician, now retired, referred to the gathering as the political coming-out party for Obama.
Young said it was a small group -- maybe a dozen or so people -- who were being introduced to the next senator from Chicago's South Side, and that money was raised for Obama at the event.
