As part of their ongoing strategy of "making stuff up" the McCain campaign has latched onto former Weather Underground member William Ayers. Although Mr. Ayers was never convicted of any crimes he is open about his activities during the turbulent late 60's. Ayer's supposed "connection" to Barack Obama is tenuous at best; the two men lived in the same Chicago neighborhood and served on the board of an educational foundation.
The McCain smear characterizes the foundation as "radical", another baseless canard.
Full details are available here.
McCain is out of ideas and running out of time. He's losing, and losing BADLY. This is all he's got left. Pathetic.

Smear groups and the McCain campaign are trying to connect Obama to acts Ayers committed 40 years ago – when Barack was just eight years old. Here’s what the New York Times reported on the connection:
But the two men do not appear to have been close. Nor has Mr. Obama ever expressed sympathy for the radical views and actions of Mr. Ayers, whom he has called “somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8.”
