The link below is for a FactCheck.org article entitled "'He Lied' About Bill Ayers? McCain cranks out some false and misleading attacks on Obama's connection to a 1960s radical."
Particularly egregious is McCain's lie that Ayers wished on 9/11 that there had been more bombings. Here's an excerpt:
"Despite the fairly mainstream life he lives now, though, Bill Ayers' image took a hit with an article that appeared in the New York Times on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. Ayers was quoted in the lead paragraph as saying, ''I don't regret setting bombs'' and "I feel we didn't do enough." The interview had been conducted earlier, in connection with the publication of Ayers' memoir of his years as a fugitive. But when the quotes appeared on the same day thousands died at the World Trade Center and elsewhere, they enraged his critics."
Please note that Ayers' bombings, while detestable, destroyed property only. Nobody was killed, due to evacuation warnings the Weathermen sent out in advance.
Again, my question is "Why is McCain lying about Ayers instead of discussing the issues?" Please discuss his stances on the issues because McCain evidently wants to change the subject.
