The 1960s radical William Ayers was not invoked on the campaign trail yesterday, but for anyone living in a battleground state, his name may have been left on an answering machine.

Ayers and his connection to Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama are at the heart of an ambitious "robo-call" campaign from GOP nominee John McCain and the Republican National Committee, part of a $70 million get-out-the-vote operation underway in electorally important states.

"Hello. I'm calling for John McCain and the RNC because you need to know that Barack Obama has worked closely with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, whose organization bombed the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, a judge's home and killed Americans," a voice says in the automated calls that have been heard in Virginia, Ohio, Florida and elsewhere.

I guess when the poll numbers look this bad lying seems like a good tactic. Obama's main tie to Ayers was serving with him on a board run by Republicans. If the Dems wanted to stoop that low they coulç point out that in the 80's McCain was a member of the advisory board of a far right group tied to ex-Nazis, Nazi corroborators and Latin American death squads.
