There was an interesting segment on FOX news this morning. Stanley Kurtz was interviewed about the research he has done on the connections of Barack Obama, Bill Ayers, and Jeremiah Wright. What amazes me is that the media is not doing more to expose Obama and his associations. Well, “amaze” is not the right word, let’s try “angers”. The article is lengthy so I am sharing the first two paragraphs and the last paragraph plus the link so that you may read it in its entirety.

No matter what voters think about John McCain at least we know (pretty much) what makes him tick. McCain is not perfect. Callmecrusader believes McCain to be American at heart. I have no such beliefs about Obama. The information shared in this article gives me even more cause for alarm.

Wright 101

Obama funded extremist Afrocentrists who shared Rev. Wright’s anti-Americanism

It looks like Jeremiah Wright was just the tip of the iceberg. Not only did Barack Obama savor Wright’s sermons, Obama gave legitimacy – and a whole lot of money – to education programs built around the same extremist anti-American ideology preached by Reverend Wright. And guess what? Bill Ayers is still palling around with the same bitterly anti-American Afrocentric ideologues that he and Obama were promoting a decade ago. All this is revealed by a bit of digging, combined with a careful study of documents from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, the education foundation Obama and Ayers jointly led in the late 1990s.

John McCain, take note. Obama’s tie to Wright is no longer a purely personal question (if it ever was one) about one man’s choice of his pastor. The fact that Obama funded extremist Afrocentrists who shared Wright’s anti-Americanism means that this is now a matter of public policy, and therefore an entirely legitimate issue in this campaign.

However he may seek to deny it, all evidence points to the fact that, from his position as board chair of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, Barack Obama knowingly and persistently funded an educational project that shared the extremist and anti-American philosophy of Jeremiah Wright. The Wright affair was no fluke. It’s time for McCain to say so.
