Do you think that the mainstream (liberal) media will cover this as well as they did Sec. Powell's endorsement--or, at all?  Oh, that's right, this is "negative campaigning," and the Democrats have never done that to Republicans. 

4 Weathermen terrorists declare support for Obama
Call for 'grassroots effort' to help boost campaign

The names of four former top leaders of the Weathermen terrorist organization are listed as signatories on an online petition calling for an "independent grassroots effort" to help strengthen Sen. Barack Obama's campaign.

Among the names signed onto the petition are former Weathermen leaders Howard Machtinger, Jeff Jones, Steve Tappis and Mark Rudd.

Machtinger was a Weathermen founder and was co-author of the terror group's original mission statement, which called for "revolutionaries within the United States to wage a 'people's war' and attack from within. The government would fall and 'world communism' eventually would be instituted."

All former Weathermen leaders who signed the pro-Obama petition worked closely for years with Weathermen terrorist William Ayers, whose association with Obama has generated controversy for the presidential candidate.

The Weathermen took responsibility for bombing U.S. governmental buildings in the 1970s.

If Obama is elected, they may will finally get their way. 

[Update]  Taking a page from the Democrats, former Florida representative Mark Foley also supports Obama.  The Democrats want their page back.  

[Follow-up]  Mark Foley now says that his conversation about favoring Obama was not reported correctly, he has privately cast an absentee ballot, and what he does in private is no one else's business.
