Why is the NY Times continuing to ignore McCain’s "own Bill Ayers"?

March 6th, 2010 | by admin |

As Media Matters for America has noted, Liddy served four and a half years in prison in connection with his conviction for his role in the Watergate break-in and the break-in at the office of the psychiatrist of Daniel Ellsberg, the military analyst who leaked the Pentagon Papers. Liddy has acknowledged preparing to kill someone during the Ellsberg break-in "if necessary"; plotting to murder journalist Jack Anderson; plotting with a "gangland figure" to murder Howard Hunt to stop him from cooperating with investigators; plotting to firebomb the Brookings Institution; and plotting to kidnap "leftist guerillas" at the 1972 Republican National Convention — a plan he outlined to the Nixon administration using terminology borrowed from the Nazis. (The murder, firebombing, and kidnapping plots were never carried out; the break-ins were.) During the 1990s, Liddy reportedly instructed his radio audience on multiple occasions on how to shoot Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agents and also reportedly said he had named his shooting targets after Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Was Bill Ayers convicted?

Then, there is this: McCain’s top fundraiser and "consigliere", Tom Loeffler, has received approximately $15 million from the government of Saudi Arabia since 2003, including $3.5 million since he started working for McCain. His firm, the Loeffler Group, has helped the Saudis arrange meetings with administration and congressional officials which, in this writer’s experience, involve the Saudis lying their faces off and trying to convince people that their citizens are no longer the world’s top financiers of Sunni terror groups and the Taliban. They are, of course, and Loeffler has made a fortune helping the Saudi government deflate pressure on them to do more about it. Imagine how much he could make squiring Saudi lies around the West Wing if McCain wins the presidency.

    An inside job, wow the conspiracies absolutely flying now.
    Except you can’t beat bombing the Pentagon. Reminiscent of 9/11.

    Ironically, Ayers and Dorn were not convicted. Probably because of rich daddy warbucks whose money he used to launder throught the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.

    Under no circumstance could Obama get a government clearance in the public sector.

    The NY Times is a liberal paper perhaps they don’t agree. I am sure they would if they thought it would help Obama since they are a very liberal paper.

    Ah….Watergate. How quickly we forget.

    If McCain has or had any links to Liddy, by all means they should be investigated and reported on.

    Well, the GOP is filled with forgive and forget type Christians when the people who need forgiving aren’t liberals.

    Nobody’s ignoring it, any more than they’re ignoring Bill Ayers (whose charges were dropped due to "prosecutorial misconduct").

    Everyone should just get off it, on both sides. This is getting beyond ridiculous.

    Why pay a reporter to work when they can collect a couple hundred thousand dollars for full-page ads from MoveOn et. al. to talk about real important issues like McCain’s skin cancer….?

    You’re using Media Matters as your source????/
    Oh my goodness. I’m laughing at your Superior intellect.

    Media Matters and Move On are all Clinton run garbage. Of course they will promote the cause of Obama and pull all sorts of bats out of the closet with lame conspiracy theories.
    It’s a fact Obama worked with AYers on the Annenberg challenge.
    It’s a Fact Obama sat in a pew with Wright for 20 years and called him Mentor.
    It’s a Fact Ayers had campaign fundraisers for Obama in his home.
    It’s a fact that Ayers attempted to bomb the Pentagon and it’s a Fact he stated he did and that he was sorry he didn’t do more. He was let off on a technicality.
    It’s a fact Obama was mentored by Saul Alinsky, communist/socialist community organizer who advocated that the ends always justify the means. Obama has a Saul Alinsky poster in his office. Forget Jefferson and Washington and Adams.. his hero is…Saul. What an American! Can we expect Obama to write another book and dedicate it to Lucifer too?
    It’s a fact that Obama managed not to win his IL seat through a fair election. He had all his opponents eliminated from the ballot. But the ends justify the means right? Playing fair is not something he does.
    Keep drinking your Koolaid.
    The Democrats we have representing us here have no moral compass. We stupidly sent one fo them to Washington.
