The Wisconsin GOP is trying to heat things up by sending out mailers linking Barack Obama to 1960s radical William Ayers.
Ayers was a founder of the Weather Underground, a group that claimed responsibility for a series of nonfatal bombings.
It provides a brief history of Ayers' radical activities, claims he and Obama are friends and warns Obama is "not who you think he is."
The mailer also includes a 2001 quote from Ayers saying he doesn't regret the bombings. But the quote was placed next to a picture of Obama and not attributed to Ayers.
The flier provides a brief history of Ayers' radical acticities along with some pictures. It also claims he and Obama are friends and warns that Obama is "not who you think he is." A quote from Ayers is also included in which he says that he doesn't regret the bombings.
Wisconsin Republican Party Spokeswoman, Kirsten Kukowski, defended the mailing, saying, "We're not calling Barack Obama a terrorist," she said. "We never have and never will. He is not. The mailer was just a small part of the party's overall message."
