Pennsylvania Republicans Send out Smear

The Pennsylvania Republican Party is mailing a vile leaflet to independent voters attempting to link Barack Obama to Professor William Ayers. Smears like this are often spread as part of a broader strategy to scare people who aren't very familiar with Barack by spreading false information.

Here’s the truth: the smear associating Barack to Ayers is “phony,” “tenuous,“ – even “exaggerated at best if not outright false.” They have served together on the boards of local charities, but do not know each other well. Ayers is now a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Barack has publicly denounced the acts Ayers committed in the 1960’s (when Barack was only 8 years old). The leaflet manages to skip over 25 years of time and then associate the Obama of the 90's with the Ayers of the sixties.
