When Senator Joe Biden recently visited Ohio during his campaign, he mentioned a cartoon drawn about presidential candidate, John McCain, that directly categorizes McCain with 60s anti-war activist, William Ayers. William Ayers is most commonly recognized as part of the Weather Underground Organization, a radical left organization that split from the Students for a Democratic Society. The cartoon that Biden mentioned deals mainly with the ideas that McCain is refusing to look and deal with the failing economy and only focuses on dishing out "malarky" as Biden continues to reinforce. Also, that McCain is trying to win supporters from his own party by constantly attacking Obama's past and his character instead of his policies.
John McCain tries to dodge the issue of the Ayers connection because he himself has accused Barack Obama of having a relationship with now Proffesor Ayers because they worked on some of the same philanthropic committees. However, Biden stood up for Obama and said that Obama was only eight years old when all the commotion and riots were happening with the Weathermen and the rest of the SDS and finished by saying that he and his party would be extremely disappointed with McCain and his campaign if they brought up the Ayers issue anymore in the future.
Here is the link to the cartoon:
