McCain Robocalls Links Obama to Bill Ayers
------------------------------------------



The Mc Cain campaign is coming under criticism for using automated
robocalls in at least ten swing states to attack Obama. In at least one
of the robocalls, the Mc Cain campaign highlights Barack Obama’s
connection to Bill Ayers, the former member of the Weather Underground.

John Mc Cain Robocall: “Hello, I’m calling for John Mc Cain and the RNC,
because you need to know that Barack Obama has worked closely with
domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, whose organization bombed the US Capitol,
the Pentagon, a judge’s home, and killed Americans. And Democrats will
enact an extreme leftist agenda if they take control of Washington.
Barack Obama and his Democratic allies lack the judgment to lead our
country. This call was paid for by Mc Cain-Palin 2008 and the Republican
National Committee at 202-863-8500."
