Because I wrote it:
"What Might Have Been" campaign spot
[montage of authentic prom night photos circa 1970, ideally with young men in uniform, or someone flipping through an album of same.]
NARRATOR
One night in March, 1970, hundreds of young servicemen and their dates
gathered for a dance at Fort Dix.
[one by one the photos are lit in a corner, curl up and burn. If home movies are used, employ oozing burn effect of a hot projector bulb.]
NARRATOR
A terrorist group planned to set off a pipe bomb at that dance.
A second bomb full of nails was set to go off minutes later, to kill and maim rescuers.
Had they succeeded, it might have killed more people than the Oaklahoma City Bombing.
Killed more young men than John Wayne Gacy.
Killed more young women than Ted Bundy.
The plan to bomb the Fort Dix dance failed.
But the group killed and maimed others, in its self-declared War on America.
The leader of the group that planned those bombings was never punished.
He never apologized for his crimes.
He still says his only regret was that he didn't kill more innocent people.
Instead he reinvented himself as a teacher, an author, a pillar of his community.
The kind of man who helps choose future leaders.
The leader of the group that planned to kill hundreds of young soldiers and their dates at Fort Dix in 1970 also helped launch Barack Obama's political career.
On November 4, Bill Ayers, an unrepentant criminal, will vote for Barack Obama as President of the United States.

Can you site some reference and proof to this?
When did it become ok to lie?
This is just pathetic. McCain is going to lose. The days of Republican fear-mongering are over. America is tired of that crap. Why would you think a fear ad would work? Do you REALLY think Americans are that stupid?
Wait . . . you must. Because you must BE that stupid. You ARE supporting 4 more years of the failed policies of the last eight years.
It is indeed pathetic and even though I will vote for McCain he is not the answer either.Because of Obama's credentials I will vote for the lesser of two evils one final time.If McCain does pull out a win we the people who put him in there need to hold him accountable for our interests and quit sitting on the couch whining when these typical politicians who seem to check their integrity and spines at the door forget about the people who put them in office.I'm not really talking about the democrats this is really a republican issue. The McCains-Bush's-and yes even Reagan understand that they will nearly always get the working white middle-class vote no matter what but once in office they do nothing or very little for these people.This 2 party system is a sham and even if McCain gets in and the results are the same I will vote for neither.
I would like to post this verbatim on my blog with your permission. This is something Americans need to be aware of. People need to understand exactly what the WU's intentions were at Ft. Dix. It doesn't matter that they, thankfully, blew themselves up. That's just natural selection in my book. It's the horrible things they were willing to cause to innocent men, women and first responders that matters, it matters that BHO launched his political career in this man's living room, character and integrity MATTERS!!!!
How many fathers, sons, moms and daughters that had never done him or his friends a bit of harm was he willing to kill, how many children was he willing to make orphans?
This same disregard for the lives of those that disagree with them can be seen today in the left, and it's NOT just fringe elements of the left either, this attitude is mainstream democrat thought.

You know I love your spirit Kathy but it seems people down here don't care about Ayres .
How is Harper doing ? I may just move back if conditions deteriorate here and Western Canada gets smart and seperates.
A recent interview with Ayers let him get away with saying his group never meant to kill people. So nail bombs are designed against buildings, eh?
At least the relationship between Ayers and Obama is starting to be more widely recognised. Enough of this and the uncommited will be warned off The One.
Apparently, some youngin's rage against 50,000+ dead Americans coming home in lead boxes from 'Nam isn't something one forgives in a "Christian Nation" who claims the exclusive right to forgive the sins and crimes of their own ilk who have killed millions for personal gain while "smirking" and making their base giggle.
The rest of us have our eyes wide open for relevant issues:
A CA paper has obtained documents relating to the purchase by top McCain contributor Donald R. Diamond, an Arizona businessman and D.C. lobbyist, of part of a former Army base, valued at $7.2 million, while McCain served on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Turns out Diamond shelled out $250,000 and walked away two years later with $18 million.
The story follows up on an earlier New York Times report, which suggested that McCain's willingness to smooth the way for well-connected constituents didn't disappear after the Keating Five scandal.
The 80-year-old Diamond explained to the Times that he wanted a return on his investment: ""I want my money back, for Christ's sake. Do you know how many cocktail parties I have to go to?""(Santa Cruz Sentinel)
If Mr. Ayers were guilty of such awful crimes, why was he not punished? If you believe in "justice for all...", why didn't he get his? Or is this another story from ancient history that the christian community can not get past for lack of forgiveness? I wonder how many old white men Mr. Ayers voted for in the last 40 years that no one questioned.
Do the video ... It's good high impact stuff.
Do people know Hitler was elected and after he joined forces with the other Fascists in Germany assembly that by 1934 the Third Reich was born? What, you mean you were never taught that in your government school? Then they came for the ignorants, in the middle class.
Be careful what you vote for, your wish may come true.
Great ad. If I'm not mistaken, the judge in the NY police sta bombing threw out FBI wiretapping evidence on a technicality. He's a communist thug and so is his wife (FBI still thinks she's a killer). Check out 3200 members of academia (Raleigh Observer) letters of support for Ayres.
Kathy, my brother is friends with Rob.
Thats good but Obama is doing his commercials at a rate of 15 to 1 compared to McCain! Obama's ads in Ohio are numerous and very effective. You would think Obama was a Reagan conservative and McCain was Walter Mondale.
Yes, they are all lies but stupid America is being taken in because no one in the liberal media is disputing them. Lies winning in Ohio.
So how do you defeat this when the opposition has 15 times the money you have and the press likes the lies?
The terrorists that McCain supported (Albanians and "Kosovars" who like the Bosniaks that we defended by McCain's votes in Congress) were the ones responsible for the Fort Dix plot. Like Hillary's support of them, there is much the public does not know about al-Qaeda in the Balkans. He should be ashamed to mention L. Sijan when he voted to bomb the civilians where Sijan came from. If you fear what is going to happen, then you should not vote the way the RNC scares you to vote - to protect the rich from taxes and the people from the truth.

Sorry for the double post. Just want to emphasize that McCain defends Joe the Plumber, but he, not Obama, was the one who paraded him out as a personification of "Joe America". He is not. Everyone benefits from the tax structure as they make more money and pays more in tazes. Joe is not exempt and not an example of the people who generate jobs. (RNC has been very inaccurate in quoting how many jobs come from "small business owners".) I question the judgment of a senator who leaves his wife, marries a cheerleader, and hires a "hockey mom" to act as lightning rod for campaign. The length of experience counts only when you encounter something you have experienced before and come up with a better solution faster. That is not the case with McCain. We have not had good results with three of the last four "governors with experience". (Reagan was the only success.) Stop being angry racists and do the better thing for America.
