You’ll want to double-check the logo at the bottom left corner
during this report. It really is CNN and Anderson Cooper fact-checking
Barack Obama’s claims to have barely known William Ayers — and calling
it dishonest. Stanley Kurtz even gets to make an appearance on a
network other than Fox for this report (via Dirty Harry’s Place):
Drew Griffin runs down most of the salient points raised by people
like Kurtz, David Freddoso, Jerome Corsi, and others. Obama’s admission
in a debate that he briefly served on “a board” with Ayers with little
contact gets shot down. CNN followed up on Kurtz’ work with the Chicago
Annenberg Challenge and debunks that notion. They also — amazingly —
report on the nature of the grants made by the CAC while Obama ran it
to Ayers’ favored schools with radical agendas.
Griffin also tells a somewhat nonplussed Cooper that Obama has lied
about his “coming out party” at the home of William Ayers and
Bernardine Dohrn in 1995. Obama has said that Alice Palmer arranged the
fundraiser and the venue, but Griffin spoke to two people who attended
the event, who claim Obama lied. Palmer had nothing to do with that
event outside of being invited to it. Obama and Ayers planned the event
themselves.
