It seems like Colin Powell touched off some sanity. Perhaps this endorsement by 3,000 professors was in the works. Whatever. McCain-Palin is the losing ticket even if they win. If they win, we will be the losers. Did anyone catch McCain Palin on NBC? They looked like two sixth graders and said nothing that a grown up would say. I've especially had it with Palin. What an unthinking human she is and every time she speaks I get so mad at McCain. She's so over and done with.
This is beautiful:
CNN: More than 3,000 educators nationwide, including six Brown University professors, have signed a statement supporting William Ayers -- the man Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain called a "washed-up terrorist" at the third presidential debate.
In recent months, the McCain campaign has criticized Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama for his connection to Ayers. McCain and his running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin, have accused Obama of being "friends" with Ayers and claimed Obama has hidden the extent of their relationship.
Both residents of the Chicago, Illinois, area, Ayers and Obama first met in 1995 when they served on the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a school reform initiative. They also were board members of the Woods Fund, a Chicago charity, from 2000 to 2002.
Ayers, now a distinguished professor of education and senior university scholar at the University of Illinois at Chicago, was a co-founding member of the radical activist group the Weather Underground in 1969. The group's extreme tactics to end the Vietnam War included planting bombs in the Pentagon and the United States Capitol.
In response to the McCain campaign's focus on Ayers' radical acts of the 1960s and 1970s, "Friends and supporters of Bill Ayers" are circulating a statement online to vouch for the professor he has become.
Perhaps this was the trouble with McCain and Palin
