I removed the Hillary quote because the section's introductory paragraph covers everything she said, and in a much more detailed manner. Jirby 23:25, 24 August 2008 (EDT)
- Why the H--- is this guy not in prison??? ScorpionVote for Pedro 22:49, 4 October 2008 (EDT
Because, Scorpion, there was never sufficient evidence to convict him or anyone else of bombings claimed by the Weather Underground.
Re: removed section
I removed the following section:
- Obama has been very unwilling to discuss Ayers for fear that their relationship will scare away swing voters, and the [[Liberal|liberal]] [[Liberal media|media]] have been very complicit in [[Deceit|whitewashing]] their relationship.<ref>http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=77075</ref>
The first part states as fact something that only Obama knows, and the second part is hardly verified by the source. HelpJazz 22:16, 24 October 2008 (EDT)
- I think you should reconsider. The article linked states exactly what the edit suggests (the liberal media, including the NYT, has whitewashed their relationship) and the evidence that Obama is unwilling to discuss Ayers is strong. However, if you still feel otherwise then I won't challenge your view. SMichaels 17:24, 26 October 2008 (EDT)
