Fact Checking

Just read a story on CNN.com that Sarah Palin is attacking Barack Obama as someone who associates "with terrorists who targeted their own country." (Hope I got that quote right...just read the story here just in case.....)

Within the body of this story you read:
"Palin cited an article in Saturday's New York Times about Obama's relationship with Ayers, now 63. But that article concluded that "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.' ""

Further....
"Several other publications, including the Washington Post, Time magazine, the Chicago Sun-Times, The New Yorker and The New Republic, have debunked the idea that Obama and Ayers had a close relationship."

Since a New York Times article seems to have started this whole thing, I thought, well, see what the NYT is saying:

I encourage you to check the facts.

Peace.
