If McCain is trying to call Obama out about Ayers, he also needs to call out one of his supporters and the Annenberg Foundation. This is not about Obama being honest for something he should not be guilty of, it’s about a cheap character smear.
“Barack Obama and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. Friends. They’ve worked together for years,” the ad says. The ad also claims that one of the nonprofits on which Obama and Ayers worked was a radical education foundation.
That educational foundation was The Annenberg Challenge. It was funded by the Annenberg Foundation, a charity set up by longtime Republican backer and newspaper publisher Walter Annenberg. Annenberg has died, but his wife has endorsed McCain this year. For his work on this educational project, Chicago gave Ayers its “Citizen of the Year” award in 1997.
