The fact is Obama DID launch his political carrier in the living room
of Bill Ayers...  Now the Lefty mantra is "it is a lie, lie, lie"...
Yet the evidence still remains...  This continual try to rewrite
history is troublesome and dangerous --  in the USSR it was was called
revisionism...   Why is it Obama can not be honest with the American
people...

>>> The best evidence that Barack Obama launched his political career from Bill 
>>> Ayers’s living room has disappeared . . . down the memory hole.

Well, not quite. The Wayback Machine and I have both saved copies.

On Thursday, the L.A. Times claimed that there is “no recorded basis”
for John McCain’s statement that Obama launched his political career
in Bill Ayers’s living room. That same day, I wrote a post that proved
them wrong. I linked a January 27, 2005 blog post by Maria Warren, a
political liberal who attended the function. In that post, she said:

    When I first met Barack Obama, he was giving a standard, innocuous
little talk in the livingroom of those two legends-in-their-own-minds,
Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. They were launching him–introducing
him to the Hyde Park community as the best thing since sliced bread.

I originally read about this post at a Politico piece about the Ayers-
Obama relationship in February 2008. That post identified the name of
the blog, and Maria Warren as the author. But Politico did not link
Warren’s post; I found it and linked it based on the evidence provided
by Politico. Yesterday I sent the link to the L.A. Times as part of a
request for a correction of the error in their editorial.

As far as I know, I was the first blogger to directly link Warren’s
blog entry — and I did so last Thursday.

Now it’s Monday, and this blog entry — which had been around since
January 27, 2005 — is suddenly gone. (H/t Jim Treacher.)

I thought there wasn’t anything to the Obama-Ayers relationship. I
guess somebody thinks different — and is taking pains to delete the
evidence.

Well, you’re going to have to do better than this. Turns out the
Wayback Machine still has a copy. You’re going to have to scrub that,
too.

Oh — and then you’re going to have to crash my site and come get my
laptop. Because it turns out that I saved a screenshot:
