what radical education foundation??
I thought this was great a good Dem buddy of mine knows I pass on a lot of stuff so he updated on something he just did....so here I am passing it on...



something that I thought was interesting and thought I’d pass along.



I repeatedly hear advertisements on the radio for McCain that state, “Ayers and Obama ran a radical education foundation together.” Beside the fact that it’s blatantly untrue, it’s insidious how it never mentions the radical education foundation. A radical education foundation is a scary thing, it becomes scarier when the name is too frightening to even mention.



What I did was I began calling McCain field offices in Ohio and posing as an Independent asking the name of this radical education foundation. I told them that I wanted to Google the name on the internet and see how radical they are. I couldn’t find one office that knew what the “radical education foundation” was. They admitted to making calls with that in the script and some of their literature said that but they didn’t know and didn’t ask what foundation they’re speaking of. “We just do what they tell us to do”, one older sounding gentleman said. Another told me, “You know as much as I do, I haven’t been told what the foundation is”.



I was surprised at how open they were, but probably half agreed with me that they shouldn’t hand out information they can’t answer questions on. You could tell a few even felt a little silly not having an answer. I encourage all of you who are curious to do the same and ask the questions. We can’t ask the candidate directly but we can ask their surrogates. Be prepared because some may have an answer, so have a follow up asking what in the curriculum made the foundation radical and who else served on it. Ask where you can find proof that Barack ran the foundation.



These are legitimate questions, they should be able to and have to answer.
