The whole "weather underground" thing was the Swift-boat sham of this election. None of those claims about the depth of Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers can be corroborated by a third party, and are thus null. McCain LIED during the debate when he said Obama had announced his run for president in Mr. Ayer's living room, and a lot of the allegations against SDS and the Weather Underground are also unsubstantiated or just pure fiction.

To try and portray Obama as a terrorist sympathizer is the same as leaking the name of a CIA operative. Both actions seek to undermine the very feelings of security and trust that their perpetrators claim to hold so dear.


People are entitled to their opinions, and I support the voicing of those opinions....but to represent this "Survey" as anything other than propaganda is irresponsible at best.

Not propaganda, but a well respected polling agency, paid to perform this service. The answers were from Democrats, no one else. The answers and questions can not be disputed. No one told them what to say. The questions are factual and the responses are factual from Democrats. How can that be propaganda?

You yourself can claim to be an informed voter, but that's it... The fact is the uninformed McCain supporters were out numbered by the uninformed Obama supporters.

There is no proof of your statement. Why? Because these "nonpartisan" pollers only polled one side. That's the only problem I have with this. If we can't compare the two sides, claiming that one side is this way or that from the other is completely baseless.

The number of Obama voters outnumbered McCain voters. Doesn't necessarily mean that either side was more uninformed. Good job jumping to conclusions with no evidence.
