Bill Ayers is a Terrorist. ACORN is a terrorist. Barack Obama is a... WHO IS BARACK OBAMA? John McCAIN's new "Who is Barack Obama" ad pushes the boundaries of American gutter politics to new lows, even beyond the infamous "swiftboating" of John Kerry four years ago. The ad focuses on Obama's connections with ACORN in Chicago. The worried narrator tells us: What did ACORN Chicago engage in? Bullying banks. Intimidation tactics. Disruption of business. ACORN forced banks to issue risky home loans. The same types of loans that caused the financial crisis we are in today. This is so absurd it almost defies belief, but this is the garbage that McCAIN is shoveling, so let's see if we can take out some trash. ACORN is a national community organizing group that works with the very poor, and has been doing so since 1970. Organizing really poor people is difficult work, notoriously hard to sustain. ACORN is almost alone in staying at it. ACORN certainly has its critics, as does any organization that has been politically active for 38 years. But its track record is also impressive in many ways. ACORN is one of the very very few political resources the truly poor in America have. Notice, for example, that Obama himself rarely talks about the poor. He talks about the middle class. Incessantly. After each debate the Obama campaign released a video noting that McCAIN had failed to address the middle class. Did either candidate even say the word ...

by Mark Silva Today, at the end of a long and tumultuous week on the campaign trail. Republican John McCAIN appeared to want to have it two ways with his Democratic rival, Barack Obama: At once slamming Obama with a new TV ad connecting the Illinois senator with an old Sixties radical, a professor now in Chicago, while telling an audience that Obama is a "decent'' man. McCAIN, the senior senator from Arizona, down in the polls in the closing weeks of the presidential contest,... ...
