DENVER -- As the Democratic Party prepares to unleash its presidential nominating convention here, the University of Illinois at Chicago said today that it will release records of Sen. Barack Obama's service to a nonprofit organization linked to William Ayers, a Chicago education professor who was a radical protestor in the 1960s.
.
Sen. John McCain's allies have been trying to exploit the tie between Obama and Ayers, with a McCain fundraiser donating nearly $2.9 million for an independent TV ad focusing on Ayers, whose Weatherman group took credit for bombings that included nonfatal blasts at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol four decades ago.

The records of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge,which Obama chaired and which Ayers co-founded, will be made available to the public on Tuesday, UIC said in a statement.

The National Review magazine had attempted to obtain the records and was told the donor had not cleared their opening. Today, the university said it now has legal authority to allow public access to the material.

1. So when do we get to see McCain's military records, including the POW stuff?

I wanna see the 32 propaganda films he made for the North.

I wanna hear about why people called him "Songbird."

2. They're off limits, doncha know, because he's a P.O.W., so he's untouchable. nt

3. Just so you know, he was not a POW, but an "enemy combatant."

We never declared war against Vietnam and as such, he had no standing under the Geneva Conventions and any mistreatment he acquired was not torture.

So goes the reasoning of the current GOP, so McLame was an "enemy combatant" who deserved everything he got.

4. Hmmm. There's a fair argument, but that won't work. We can't diss

his service, but he should be proud to share his VN record! And he's not, so we wonder.

5. I think you have that wrong.

He's a Republican P.O.W., so he's untouchable. :bounce:

6. True that, and he's milking it. I don't ever even see a Dem doing that. nt

7. We'll at least this shit is happening now instead of October. McWad is going

to be blown by the end of next week.

8. I don't think there's any there there. I'm not worried at all. nt

9. Hello, any thoughts here? I thought this is/was big newz. No? No one

cares, or are you scared? I'm not.
