OMG, RONALD REAGAN was a TERRORIST PAL!!!

[LynnTheDem]

Obama worked with several board members, including Ayers, for the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.

One man who contributed financing was Walter Annenberg. Republican.

And close personal friend of Ronald Reagan.

But wait! It gets WORSE;

President Reagan Awarded Annenberg The Presidential Medal Of Freedom.

To a man who worked with Obama on the charity.

To a man who worked with Ayers on the charity.

The Governor Jim Edgar, REPUBLICAN, wrote a letter of support for the Chicago Annenberg Challenge grant proposal written by Prof. William Ayers, Anne Hallett, and Warren Chapman. Governor Edgar wrote, “I am pleased to support the concept paper for the Annenberg Challenge Grant submitted by the Chicago School Reform Collaborative Working Group. Their efforts to make urban schools more responsive to their local communities are commendable.”

HOLY SHIT, there's terrorist pals EVERYWHERE, including RONALD REAGAN (guilt by association) HIMSELF!!!

1. This would be great info to have on hand at the debate!

Mr. McCain, Ronald Reagan himself rejected your charges, and in fact he awarded the Presidential Medal Of Freedom to one of the members of the board that I sat on with Mr. Ayers. You are making accusations that Ronald Reagan himself is a terrorist supporter!

3. The facts are clear. If Obama is a "terrorist pal" guilt by association, so was Reagan.

The Honorable Walter H. Annenberg: Nixon appointee; Ronald Reagan's close personal friend, who awared hin the Presidential Medal of Freedom. And according to Palin & co's "guilt by association", all were "terrorist pals".

And another Republican, Gov. Jim Edgar, who Palin would have to call a "terrorist pal";

CHICAGO -- The Annenberg Foundation today announced a five-year grant totaling $49.2 million to support Chicago school reform, calling Chicago reform "a major breakthrough from which the nation can learn." The grant, part of the half-billion-dollar Annenberg Challenge to the Nation to improve the nation's public schools, will be matched two-to-one by $100 million in local private and public dollars.

The Hon. Walter H. Annenberg, editor, publisher and former U.S. ambassador to Great Britain, designed the Annenberg Challenge to energize and support promising efforts at school reform across the country. President Bill Clinton announced this extraordinary half-billion-dollar gift at a White House ceremony Dec. 17, 1993.

...Gov. Jim Edgar joined a citywide gathering of children, parents, teachers, principals and school reform and civic leaders at Washington Irving Elementary School for the grant announcement.

“I am pleased to support the concept paper for the Annenberg Challenge Grant submitted by the Chicago School Reform Collaborative Working Group. Their efforts to make urban schools more responsive to their local communities are commendable.”
-Gov. Jim Edgar, Republican


Another "terrorist pal" is REPUBLICAN Arnold Weber, former advisor to Nixon and Reagan.

Arnold R. Weber, A Chicago Annenberg Board Member, Was An Assistant Secretary Of Labor And Associate Director Of The Office Of Management And Budget Under President Nixon; Weber Also Served As An Advisor To Carter And Reagan. Arnold R. Weber, former President of the Commercial Club of Chicago’s Civic Committee and a longtime Republican donor, was a member of the Chicago Annnenberg Challenge Board from 1998-2003.

And Weber donated to JOHN MCCAIN..

6. Aren't the right-wingers more whipped up about some fundraiser at...

Ayers' house than Obama serving on this Board with Ayers?

I guess the same argument applies...I still say it's useless to try to reason with unreasonable people.

On edit: Actually, can someone help me out with that? Was Obama even AT that fundraiser or was it simply held on his behalf? I don't know this Ayers story well. Thanks. :)
