McCain Campaign Now Attacks Michelle Obama Over Ayers

TPM reports McCain Campaign Now Attacks Michelle Obama Over Ayers:

"The McCain campaign is now broadening their attack on Obama's past association with William Ayers to include Michelle Obama -- even though McCain has repeatedly said spouses should be off limits during the campaign. The attack? Bernardine Dohrn, Ayers' wife and fellow former Weatherman, went to work in 1984 for the major Chicago-based national law firm of Sidley & Austin, and three years later, Michelle joined the mega-firm as well. That's the entire attack. We wish we were joking. But we aren't."

Factcheck debunks the McCain attacks on Barack Obama relating to his so-called relationship with William Ayres. See the post for the full details, it ends with: "What we object to are the McCain-Palin campaign’s attempts to sway voters – in ads and on the stump – with false and misleading statements about the relationship, which was never very close. Obama never “lied” about this, just as he never bragged about it. The foundation they both worked with was hardly “radical.” And Ayers is more than a former "terrorist," he’s also a well-known figure in the field of education. "
