About Those Terrorist Facts

Cannonfire--" TPM's Greg Sargent lies through his teeth":

"... TPM also scores a McCain robocall which ties Obama to terrorist Bill Ayers.
And now we have a third one that says Obama "worked closely" with a "domestic terrorist" who bombed the U.S. Capitol and the Pentagon and killed Americans. Needless to say, a major campaign is underway.
He did indeed work closely with Ayers. The fact has been established beyond challenge.

Oddly, Sargent does not attempt to present a counter-argument; he is content to pretend that the charge is absurd on its face. In this, he reminds me of the New Republic's Jonathan Chait, who pretended that his publication had investigated the Ayers/Obama link extensively, even though the New Republic has never published a story mentioning Ayers, Obama and the Annenberg Challenge. (Fire up Google and see for yourself.) ..."
