TIME: Is John McCain Supported By Terrorist Supporters? Nah.

October 8th, 2008 by Peter Slutsky

TIME’S Michael Scherer writes on Swampland:

This morning John McCain put out a list of 100 former ambassadors who are supporting his campaign. Number two is Lenore Annenberg, the wife of Ambassador William Annenberg, the founder of the Annenberg Institute of Reform, which funded the Annenberg Challenge, which once had two famous board members: former “domestic terrorist” William Ayers and Sen. Barack Obama.

So either we should all be outraged that John McCain is supported by a family who funded a foundation that hired a domestic terrorist, or this whole William Ayers thing is just plain silly. I choose the latter.

    Why is this piece of news not discussed on the mainstream and/or cable news networks and/or media publications such as the one YOU, Michael Scherer represent? To me, this type of news is "fair and balanced" as one cable news outlet professes they are, but the American people are NOT seeing the "flip" side of this tiny bit of news. If one party tries to put doubts in people's minds, tries to use fear of the word "terrorist" in people's minds the way the party did so well in 2004, then it matters to the people to ease those doubts by hearing....hearing...and hearing again, that the party trying to instill fear, doubt, and terrorist links is just as "guilty by association with this particular project and/or all the people associated with this project.
