Apparently he's friend with a terrorist named William Ayers.
I've read this article
http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/02/15/obamas-terrorist-ties/from the article:
[i]# William Ayers conducted terrorist attacks inside the United States and against the U.S. Government.
# Barack Obama has had a long standing relationship with Ayers and is quite knowledgeable of his past.
# Barack and Ayers served together on the Wood Fund.
# William Ayers made a small financial contribution to Obama’s first campaign. In the total scheme of things, not significant, except it will be used by Republicans against Obama in the fall. [/i]

Also I've heard they say similar things on Fox News so it's not all bùllshit
What do you think? Is this true? Do you have information about it? will this affect the campaign or your vote?
For Obama's supporters: I'm not trying to spread false rumors, I just want to know the truth

Hold up, the fact that it's on Fox News DOESN'T make it bullsh*t? Sorry, but I've seen so much lies come off that biased news I can only laugh when I hear that. It's just further conspiracies conducted to bring Obama down. You can't leave out the fact that Fox News is, and has always been, an extremely conservative program.

Sorry to double post but I'll go off and find more information about this if you want. :P (That aren't coming out of the mouths of politically corrupted minds. ;D)

Well, to find in this campaign some newspaper or tv who's not biased is a VEERY hard work. If you can find news for me thanks a lot :)
It's not that Fox is the truth revealed, what I said is I don't trust articles published on the internet, instead if a famous channel said so there must be at least some supporting evidence, twisted or not

I don't know about anything about Bill Ayers and terrorism... he is a professor at the University of Chicago (where Obama was a Senator [of Illinois]) so it would make sense they would have run into each other.
I have checked some sources including Wikipedia and Bill Ayers website and found nothing alarming there nor did I find anything in the article you submitted.
If you can find more I would love to read it.
Thanks

Try looking under "Weatherman" or "Bernadine Dorn". Bill Ayers was a 1960's radical who went underground when his wife was on the FBI's most wanted lists. I don't think he had to go underground himself but he is certainly a questionable friend for a would be US president.

Yes bill Ayers was responsible for the bombings of the NY Police Department, the Capitol Building, and the Pentagon in the 70's. He is also tied to Tony Rezko in real estate dealing, Rezko is under indicment for money laundring and extorsion. Obama's house was purchased on the same day and at the same time that Rezko bought a empty lot next door to Pbama's home. Makes me wonder who paid for the house. He is friends wih Farrakhan who is the leader of the Islam Nation. Is this enough besides the preacher who hate America. Do you want this type of person in the whitehouse.

The only hard facts about this relationship is that Obama did recieve a $200 contribution from this person, and they are both members of the Woods Fund Board. There's no evidence supporting any other assertion - especially about Obama and Ayers "friendship".

I heard it on the Hannity and Colmes show. I dont know if it is true but they say that he may be connected with Ayers and is connected with another man of questionable judgement named Meeks, I believe a Senator from Illinois as well. To my knowledge from that story on H&C they only made a reference to the Ayers connection and said that Obama had not addressed the issue. They did not state that there was a confirmed connection. However, the senator from Illinois, Meeks, is an outright supporter of Obama and someone whom Obama has a connection with. they showed a sermon that Meeks gave where he repeated used the "N" word. that is all I remember from that story. I now only watch Fox News because they are the only media source that doesnt appear to have a bias either way. they talk equally about all 3 candidates. there has been no more discussion about the Ayers story from any of the big news shows on that channel that I am aware of.

I think everybody would like to know the truth. Unfortunately, when it comes to politics, truth is often twisted to look like lies, and lies are decorated to look like the truth. I think that it's odd that this information didn't come out earlier, when there were more candidates in the field (some of whom could have been good contenders, but just didn't have the money to continue campaigning).
I'm pretty disgusted with the whole thing, and they haven't even had the conventions yet.
